Why don't we have anything as cool in America as the Eurovision contest?
There's some seriously cool music here - at least conceptually. I mean, who says you can't combine traditional costume with club beats? And I bet none of the Balkan Girls are shaving their heads and trashing their ex's SUV with an umbrella after a nervous breakdown.
Dude- this stuff is just too cool.
Make me sing like Gypsy, my little Czech Freddie Mercury!
And actually, Peter - doesn't the Inga and Anush video (center) look just a little too uncomfortably like the performance art piece that is in our heads and no one understands but us? It's like if we took "It's Kabuki, bitches!" to Armenia.
Quickly, get me some eyeliner and some carpeting - and a video camera!!!!
Some cool vids below - linkie to the others here.
OMG. How cool is Armenia with those balloons everywhere and random interactive DNA helixes?!? And they are all so happy!! Must go!!
And I swear I had the following Nelly video in a recent dream - right down to spinning on the front porch of my Moldovan cabin in a brocade vest and woolen skirt. But I promised the young men dancing I'd never tell what happened after. (Nelly is pretty foxy though, right?) Shhh.

Big hi from UK, sweetie, love your blog. You're soooo right about the Eurovision, it's the campest weekend of the year over here. Now if you're ever in the UK for Eurovision I want you to drop me a line and come along to one of my Eurovision parties. Think Oscars meets X Factor with a hint of Betty Ford reunion event.
Big hugs,
Bette Noir.
Ooh, Bette - that sounds divine! (squeals a bit)
And thanks for the kind words - just read through your blog and back atcha, girl.
We'll watch the calendar for Eurovision next time 'round and see if we can't make magic happen.
Cheers
xoxo

Because America is a really tacky place without style and imagination don’t get me wrong I love America but it’s tacky.
