lessons: ke$ha does EQUALITY

i've clearly been neglecting my music video watching duties boys and girls. because shit just got real on planet music video.

i could pretend i haven't seen the 'yawn this way' video by lady huge nose. but i'd be wrong because i saw it and i'm never going to be able to un-see it the same way john galliano wont be able to retract his love for a certain austrian fascist dictator.

i could review it. but it's overhyped, overblown and overlong. go HERE and judge for yourself.

naturally the gayz are up in arms about 'yawn this way' and there are some (a LOT) who herald hugenose with being the second coming (herself included). she's good, but about as christ-like as i am. this whole 'yawn this way' fiasco drips with disingenuousness.

it's almost as if she has killed gloria gaynor resurrected her with the power of elton john's dildo wand and caused her corpse to dance all over harvey milk's grave fat & naked, covered in glitter and shitting rainbows.

here's a much better video from ke$ha. that also features rainbows amongst some other stuff i like.

1. ke$ha being ke$ha. not ke$ha shamelessly exploiting a targeted demographic

2. people with UNICORN heads. uhh-mazing

3. gun shoes. slightly budget but you know, it's FINE

4. amusing puns on james van der beek's name

5. a RAINBOW GUN FIGHT

there's also a bit where they BOTH remove their bras. now that's REAL equality.

PEACE

A word from Head "Gooper"

Hello,

My name is Gwyneth Paltrow and whilst VIMRS is away I will be writing this week's post.

I am experienced in posting content online so you are in safe hands. I do a newsletter, a goop of my personal recommendations on how you should live your life. It is not a condescending advice dispenser as misguided people in the media have often declared. I like clean places that feel nice and I want you, yes you to inhabit these places with me. Don't come too close though, we must nourish the inner aspect and be vigilant of personal boundaries.

I learned a lot on the set of Glee. Those kids really know how to sing AND dance, I mean it's such a skill, you know? And I got some way to mastering it. I actively put these skills to use when I performed at the Grammy's with CeeLo Green.

My husband, the lead singer of Coldplay said that I did very well. And he should know! He is a very entertaining and politically aware rock star. I mean, have you heard his song 'Yellow'? It is so moving I cry into my new Goldspank sequinned tissue every time I hear it. These tissues are available on www.goop.com for $110 a packet in case you were wondering.

Let's watch one of his amazing music videos. Most of them are of him performing at sell-out gigs and I know you have been to all of those so I've picked one that is especially touching and ALWAYS elicits a tear from yours truly.

It's backwards because he wants to go back in time to a the time when his girlfriend wasn't dead due to his careless driving.* Isn't that clever and emotionally advanced? I was asked to be in the video but I had to decline because I was visiting Mexico at the time and nourishing my inner Aztec.

Gee! I have to go and do my goop. It's been a pleasure!

love
Gwyneth

*I would like to point out that Chrisopher neither drinks nor smokes.

my nan is better than nicki minaj

i've not been well this week. i've been coughing, sneezing and aching all over. want to know how sick i was?

i had a fever dream that my body was a factory and i didn't need to get a job because my body was my livelihood. i'm telling you, freud would have a field day with me.

so i've been languishing in bed and hacking up my sexy innards. thank god for my nan. after swearing at me quite vehemently regarding my new hair cut, she materialized like a fairy godmother on my doorstep bearing all the essentials for when you're sick.

lemons - for hot toddy assembly

oranges - for vitamins

(cooked)sausages - unsure. whatever. i had a nice sandwich

yoghurt - for "good" bacteria. but it wasn't yakult so it's less wanky

whiskey - for fun!

it was a lot like this video:

yes, my nan is the old white catholic version of nicki minaj. i'm going to languish in bed some more and watch boxsets.

lessons: it's ok to like ke$ha

first of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

second of all, there was no post last week because i was in berlin. if you've not been then i suggest you go and have a beer or two because it is very, very good. amongst other activities i got to:

- sing to my hearts content in monster ronson's ichiban kareoke: here.

- learn all i could about that pesky hitler bloke: here.

- pick up the latest copy of exberliner: here.

- and watch my friend conspicuously throw up on a table in a cool bar: here.

all in all, there was a good time had...by all. now to business.

i used to majorly slag off ke$ha for spelling her name with a dollar sign. I WAS WRONG. my time in uber liberal and sexy berlin taught me the error of my judgeMENTAL ways.

here's her alternative video for 'take it off'

here's why i like this video:

1. ke$ha

you show me the last young pop singer to have the balls to dress as trashy as she does. plus in this video she's half animal and stuff. she's like a were-cat only with more glitter and an army of gays. 10 POINTS

2. colour - fuck what you heard about being all dark and grey this winter. on planet pop EVERYTHING MUST BE BRIGHT AND FuCKING COLOurFUL.

3. jeffree star

i forgot this fag even existed. remember when he was the uber queer of myspace? remember when you cared? now he just shows up only to get annihilated by ke$ha's slut voodoo. bet you he wishes he'd spelt HIS name with a dollar sign.

4. animism

anything that suggests you have an inner animal totem is evidence that ke$ha is, you know, well meta and not a total slag wagon at all.

5. ke$ha

because she's not katy fucking perry.
