Justify My Love



My father has been in town, so I haven't been spending much time thinking about what to put up in my little corner of the internet, but here we go again...

Madonna has always been a gender bending fag. In this video, she only play one gender, but she also brought some serious kinky gay genderfuck stuff to a mainstream audience. In case you weren't aware, this was the first video to ever be banned from MTV. And what did she do? She sold the damn thing on VHS as the first video single and made millions. Clever girl.

Below are a few examples of Madge playing a more dominant role, and also her love for top hats.

She's Madonna



I'm not really sure how I feel about this one. Opinions? I'm a rebellious Robbie Williams fan; ie: no one else I know really cares for him at all. I love this song, he made it with the Pet Shop Boys. The video, is somewhat enjoyable, and the idea of Robbie in bad drag is kinda interesting, but none the less nothing really happens.

What's exciting is the DL on the song, which is apparently this: Robbie wrote the song after a conversation he had with Guy Ritchie (Madonna's hubby) about how he left his then girlfriend Tania Strecker for Madonna. Robbie wanted Madonna to be in the video with him, and he played the song for her shortly after writing it, and the word is she even liked it. But when Guy figured out what the song was about, the project was dropped entirely. Shame, would have been fun.

Also of note, the video includes Alexis Arquette (of The Arquette's) who was born on my birthday, only in 1969. And finally, the video was made by none other than Johan Renck who also Madonna's "Nothing Really Matters" and "Hung Up." Everything is illuminated.

Who's That Girl



So apparently I'm on some sort of Gender Bender kick. While Annie's gender bending has ever been as extreme as what we saw in the last post, it's still sexy. I mean how often do we get to see pop stars making out with themselves while playing different genders? Not often enough, I'll tell you that!

You Spin Me Round



So, apparently in 2003 Dead Or Alive released a greatest hits cd (they had other hits?), and on it there was a remix of their most notable single, "You Spin Me Round." Also, since that song had originally been released, front man Pete Burns went about 3/4ths trans. He's spent a lot of time under the knife it seems, and I for one think he (I think that's still the right pronoun...it's only 3/4ths right?) looks fantastic. Rather Amanda Lepore, but I guess that's just kinda what happens when you explode your lips with collagen. Anyway, enjoy the 2003 remix video for "You Sping Me." Then watch the original, and be amused by what was cool in the 80's.

Lovers in Captivity



I know very little about this band (they're called Ima Robot) but this video is nothing short of fantastic. Gender bending at its finest. The sexiness of a man in makeup isn't at all like any other kind of sexy, but it sure is undeniable here. David Bowie would be proud...or perhaps jealous...or maybe even a bit put off but still think it was pretty groovy...
