What I’m loving this week.

George Michael.  That’s right.  George Michael. Not that I ever don’t love George, I’m just loving him a lot this week.  I tend to go through phases when I will listen to one band/singer non-stop and nothing else.  I won’t even get started on my E.L.O. month.  My roommate only once commented on it.  Ok, maybe twice. But he was still very pleasant about it.  But tell me, is there anything more mood boosting than a little George?

This is so saucy.  I want to drink a glass of something fruity and head to the club.  Ok, that’s a lie.  I don’t go clubbing.  But if I did, this is what I would listen to as I got ready.

 

This is one of my favorite videos of all time.  These are also my favorite supermodels of all-time.  They just don’t make them like this anymore.  They aren’t emaciated like the majority of the models today.  I love you Evangelista. You too Naomi. I don’t care that you are bat-shit crazy.  Who isn’t a little bit crazy? And Christy and Cindy look exactly the same.  I actually almost bought a skin-care line off of an infomercial this morning this morning because Cindy endorsed it. My phone was literally in my hand when my husband walked downstairs.  The one morning he gets up early and I almost get busted doing something ridiculous.  So I just smiled and emailed the website to myself instead.  It was a steal at $39.95 people!

 

This is probably my favorite song.  I will sing so loud no matter who is around.  Although it’s generally in the privacy of my own car. What I would give to go back in time and go to this concert in the video.  So much twirling. So much hair.  So much fabulous.

 

And of course, Faith. This is pretty much a no-brainer. Does anyone not like this song? He kind of looks like Sexy Rexy is this video. Well, the actor at least.

Oh, my God I’m going to throw a Rex Manning Day party.  INSPIRED.

 

 

Ho Ho Ho

Thanksgiving has come and gone, so I am ready to embark on the holiday season in all its sparkly glory. I ventured into our scary attic and pulled everything out, so the decorations are up. Last week I was grumbling about Christmas music being played too early this year, but I successfully avoided it and am now listening to pretty much these three songs on repeat.  So while I’m at it, I’d like to talk about how amazing these videos are (well, two out of three anyway:)

There are so many awesome happenings in this video.  The first one is obvious: NICE SWEATERS. My favorite part is the epic 80s dinner party.  These people have sparklers in the cake and its not the 4th of July.  Genius!  I love when George Michael’s ex-girlfriend casually brushes her hand across the brooch on her jacket, foreshadowing the the upcoming flashback scene.  Because ten seconds later  they flashback to last Christmas when he gives her his heart….and that fabulous flower brooch.  For those of you that may have wondered how anyone could possibly not know that George Michael was gay, take a second look.  They ALL look like him.   Also, if you skip to 2:18, you may agree with me when I say that I think those girls are like 16. I think the one on the right may have braces.

*If anyone is able to replicate that brooch, or know someone who has, please let me know ASAP.  This is very important.

Ok, so this video is clearly the one that I was referring to that does not classify as amazing.  Everything Mariah does is pretty cheesy (or just bad) but this video is less brutal than usual. It’s probably the puppies.  Or maybe it’s because she’s actually wearing a fair amount of clothing.  But I think it’s actually because the song is so good.  As soon as I hear this song every year I get so excited.  Ava loves it now too.

And my personal favorite:

Forget super committees.  Let’s get back to charity super-groups instead. And look – its George Michael again! The best thing in this video is obviously the hair.  There are some serious haircuts in here.  Bono’s haircut alone makes me stop and stare. He looks like he’s got some sort of animal in there.  And if you skip ahead (you know you love this song too much to skip ahead) to 3:38 why don’t you hit pause and take a gander at the skunk-like number that guy is sporting.

And look at Sting.  Just look at him.  There is nothing in this world hotter than 1984 Sting.  Not sure if I could deal with current Sting (too much talk about tantric sex,) but I would go back in time in a heartbeat for that. He is just so cool.  But poor Paul Weller must have been in a bad mood.  He was the only one that looked like he wasn’t having any fun.  Perhaps he was pissed Simon LeBon got a solo and he didn’t. Now, if anyone can tell me who the guy with the really cool braid is in the back, I would greatly appreciate it.
