I'm sure all of you, if you have a blog, have at some time experienced the urge to write after reading someone else's blog. Not a reactionary post, not a linked post, but rather, you feel inspired by their capacity to voice things, and feel pushed to do better, write better, think clearer, project quicker.
There's this 'band' out at the moment, really a troupe, I'd say: the Pussycat Dolls. Now, I'm all for pop - I totally owned Outkast and have a secret favourite Britney song - but this lot really just make me want to sigh. This might be a sign of the approaching TWO THREE but I don't care if I sound like a bally - I am really irritated by this lot.
This lot, of toit ass 19-year olds. I have nothing against the fact that they dress like ten-dollar hookers whose clothes have been aesthetically ripped (as though they'd just come through some Hollywood version of Katrina). I also don't mind their song - I don't like it but it's not ear-shattering.
But it's the lip-synching, mouth-licking, back-arching nature of them that gets to me. There's this poster of them in the tube stations - all five, in this vaguely lesbian pose, hands on, come-hither gazes. I saw them on TOTP - two of them weren't even SINGING. The redhead kept looking at the camera with what I guess she thought was a teasing, challenging gaze; when in truth I swear she actually channeled the antichrist. Those eyebrows *shudder*. And the lead, this poor lead singer girl, who clearly has a bit of a voice at least, is she so boring that the record company had to team her up with this pack of bland bitches?
I hate how homogenised it's becoming. People would say it happened a long time ago, but this 'band' have really opened my eyes to it. They are HORRIBLE. And it's all, "I'm the redhead, I'm the black one, I'm the youngest". NO YOU ARE NOT YOU ARE TALENTLESS and you all look like variantly pigmented versions of one another.
I remember in 4th year, one of our lecturers talking to us, and him saying, 'All these ads about girls getting straight hair and flat non-frizzy hair, how boring! Who wants to all have the same hair? Who wants to have flat uninteresting hair?'
I really respected him and I really felt... I dunno, almost hurt? at that point... I had been straightening my hair all year and you know, I still do?
Maybe fuzzy haired people are more interesting.
Okay, don't really know where this is going so I'll stop now. In the meantime I found a picture of these heathens - you can see the redhead summoning the dark lord in the middle there.
