Gawd help the gene pool if she teams up with Mr. White and Nerdy; she so white she make him look like Jay-Z. Here, via the superfantastic Manolo, is Leslie Hall‘s rap in praise of gem sweaters. And the bedazzlers of the world give thanks…and the rest of us run for the exits. The glasses…the beehive…the ill-fitting lamé…spandex is a privilege, people, not a right! I think I’m going to need to wear matte black Gucci for three solid days just to cleanse myself psychically after watching this suburban goddess’ soul cry.
If only I could affordGucci…
and from the comments of the Manolo:
As a woman whose sainted mother-in-law ran a successful knitshop in Chicago for thirty years & more, I am conflicted upon viewing this video. Surely the woman has swallowed a sequin topped with LSD or absorbed some ecstasy-producing dye from the purple angora. I am all for creativity, and encourage even more silly dancing, singing & outrageous sweaters for the delight of the snowbound &/or snowblind of any sort. As for the gold lame w/insignia divulging areas of anatomy better kept en matte, I am left totally speechless.
Dreamy and idealistic, you’ve created a world that is all your own. It’s very likely that you’ve either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy. You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world.
I’m feeling psychedelic today, and we’ve already had a jolt of fake sixties stuff, so let’s wash that down with this, the real thing: the Monkees performing Listen to the Band (written by Mike Nesmith, who was always shamefully underrated, right up until the time he made his first hundred million dollars). Nine minutes of lysergic insanity, from the heart of the Sixties. Vicus, I don’t care if you’re on dialup: borrow someone else’s connection and watch this, dammit!
And if you like that, you might also enjoy this version of “She Hangs Out“ with mutated Monkees visuals and Bleat performing the song. BoingBoing didn’t take it, but by god it beats those lame-o “Recycling from the Haunted Mansion!!!!” posts of theirs into the ground!
The Monkees sing “Listen to the Band“, which eventually turns into a psychedelic freak-out (with Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger, and more)! Gets pretty weird near the middle and end, but overall still really cool!
Cuz it’s different from a week ago, even though it’s the same quiz. I like this one better, though. I was going to post the Quick and Dirty Career quiz, because I’ve always wanted a quick and dirty career, but it turned out to be really boring.
