I'm in a funky way.

I woke up to a massive sneezing allergy attack and also to the news that a $200 check cleared unexpectedly yesterday (I thought they were going to wait until the date of my residency to cash that down payment). But! Its my birthday and I'm not really all that bothered by these things. I'm going to go to the store to buy cream for coffee, and probably some dessert-like treats, and then JT is coming over at lunchtime to play guitar with me.

In honor of the day, please watch this video which was very formative to my pop culture aesthetic on many levels: choreographed group dancing, women in drag, dominatrix chic, awkward chanting, sexist media fallout the next day (c'mon! her thighs look so hot!), shameless enthusiasm, and, of course, horny horns.

Happy Birthday my Friend!!!!

I'll dance like that for you next time I see you. K.

Okay maybe I'll just march in place. But only if I have to go to the bathroom.

But happy birthday anyway!

omg!! weirdly the person i was reminded most of here was britney -- something about how all the confidence is in the dancing, and a little lost girl about so much of the rest.

i totally do not remember all the girl dancers in drag, OMG!

i remembered that paula was in drag, but totally forgot that they ALL were and i totally gasped a little this morning when they stripped down. if i wasn't watching a crappy copy of a copy, i would have noticed sooner, but i sort of liked that i could still be surprised.

Happy Birthday! I am going to sing karaoke tonight and think of you. Hope you have something equally as fun to do. I feel pretty certain you will. ;)

Happy Birthday Ray. I used to be a huge P.A. fan but oddly do not remember this video.

[raybear.livejournal.com]

thanks!!

this is not the official video (which that is typical P.A. style with lots of monochromatic black and white silhouettes and a fan blowing her hair around), but instead a live performance at the MTV awards. i still remembering watching it at my friend's house! the next day, everyone was hating on her outfit and calling her chunky. i'm still angry.
