The "clothes line" attempt lasted a while and it luckily seems to be over now. It was pretty obvious they were saving on materials, since most garments had the same newspaper print on it, as if they bought this roll of fabric they were trying to use up in any possible way. And despite this, the prices were pretty damn high! The only two pieces left for sale are currently tagged at 150 euros for a mini skirt and 100 for a sleeveless top (no, actually a "urban camo dimensional dress"...). What they did with the rest is a mistery: that ugly dress really got sold out? And what about the crazily priced "coat"? (Two new accessories, a bag and a "helmet" are more reasonably priced, but not less ugly) Despite the bad turnout, these three girls are not yet about to give up. Sadly. This year they presented their new "marvel": It's a project by Chicks on Speed, which should be an art edition of sort, but in reailty is an expensive piece of junk. Even retailers do not really know how to identify the nature of this...thing, for lack of a better word. 100 euros (but already half price on Amazon) for a pretentious book (each page is a handwriting gibrish of sort, the content quite too thin to be called a book) put into a simple cloth bag, a poster, CD with live tracks, "unisex shift dress" (so many men I can imagine wearing this...) and a pattern for overalls which the band originally intended as a "paper dress": basically another piece of DIY shit... What about consider yourself already very lucky since your music is being sold and you are given the chance to tour the world? Making clothes is not mandatory in the music world, you know?? Especially if you are just not able to make them... P.S. I have not even mentioned pop divas making their own clothes. Not worth the time. But for Madonna one word must be spent: does she really need the extra 5 millions (totally arbitrary guess here) to accept to put her name on the H&M Madonna & Crew line? Get this: H&M official annoucement itself states clearly Madame will only wear high design clothes (by one of the golden French designers) during the tour these clothes are meant for. And this is no surprise really: she is too filthy rich to wear cheap H&M! Therefore these clothes will only be worn by her staff of dancers, press agents and what not. And this operation resembles an old regal habit: the leftovers being thrown to the dogs, this time by the superb queen of pop.. « Collapse

The ad itself has everything you would imagine the 80s to be: ugly flashy clothes, retarded dance moves, the mandatory checked floor. The only thing they have spared us is the big, exagerate hairdo (I am afraid for that there will never be a comeback). But for the rest is all there. These once-celebrities, today monikers of themselves are sort of pathetic and if it was not for Kelly LeBrock (which is the only one I can identify clearly in the bunch) still looking amazingly sexy, it would be pretty cringible to look these people act as if it was still 1984. And if this was not bad enough, Cindi Lauper has also recorded the song for the commercial, a vague reminder of her "Girls just wanna have fun" with much less interesting lyrics: she repeats endlessly "Trivial Pursuit, totally 80s!!!". I wonder how far the once-celebrities are able to go to get five more minutes of fame. Or five more millions. Funny to see Cindi morphing into a "material girl"... « Collapse

I didn't actually despise Pretty Ricky until seeing them interviewed on an episode of Weekend Vibe, where each member was given their chance to shine. These kids are dumb even for their age, and every word that came out of their mouths was some cookie-cutter wannabe gangsta shit. I'd like to take a moment to quote my man Louis Logic: "Whatcha think cause ya neck and ya wrist go bling that ya shit don't stink? Faggot asses doin' the Sisqo thing in a thong, y'all ain't never had a inkling of thinkin' of bringin' it on. Take my advice shorty, before I make your life story the same shit R&B bitches sing in a song... (chorus) You need street smarts for retards, Cause y'all ain't thugs y'all sweethearts. So ya better not come around these parts, Ya hear three barks and then see dark...." « Collapse
