Do Talkin' is into Britpop'n

I know you English hate when people use the term Britpop - sorry I am using it. I would refer to it as something else, but this is what I was brought up on calling it...so britpop britpop britpop.

Anyway, I can't believe that its been a few months of this blog and I have left out some very important songs/bands that helped me in my transition from grungy high schooler - to whatever the hell I turned into in college into what I am now.

Here they are:

Pulp - Jarvis Cocker is a god amongst all gods. He is like 40 or something now but he is perfect in every way. Here is the Common People video which made many nights dancing at Sorted worthwhile. Check out his perfection from head to toe:



Another song that was popular back in the Sorted days is:

Blur - Boys & Girls - I saw Damon Albarn once in the flesh after his show in the city when I was 20 and literally gasped at the sight of him - he was so tall and lanky and had this awesome do. Here is this video:



Lastly good ol' Primal Scream - Bobby G. was a big favorite for one of my friends who told me a story about how she stalked in him in NYC and he turned around and said something to her and she freaked and ran away. Oh well. (She also stalked Jarvis at an afterparty when she was underage and she got to hang out with him. JEALOUS!)

Here is the video for Rocks:



Enjoy! Music is just as important if not more important than hair (yea maybe I said that and maybe I am lying! Flip your hair bitch!)

Just Sayin'

Dear Suze Orman,

I hope you are "DO"ing well. I love your show, your sassy persona, and your great financial advice. What I don't love however, is, you guessed it, your do. Why do you choose this as your quaf of choice? It does nothing for you and if you'll note the previous post on Ms. Sally Jessie, you'll clearly realize what a typical mom do it is. I understand you are a lesbian, and you want a no-nonsense easy to maintain, possibly cheap and economic do... but hair is nothing to be thrifty about. It's a frame for your face and this particular do is a bad frame for yours. I suggest growing it out chin length and into a blunt bob with bang. If you must have a shorter do try emulating the modernized version of this do a-la Jenny McCarthy or even Vickie Becks. I personally hate Vicki's do but it would be a great improvement to your current parted mall mom sensible look. We love you Suze. Help us love you more by getting a new do.

Love,

Do Talkin'

Sally Jesse

I am not going to lie.  I have always been a fan of Sally Jesse Raphael.  She maybe didn't have the craziest shows ever.  But I always found them entertaining.  Plus her signature red hair and matching red rimmed glasses really did suit her.  Many of you may look at this photo and just think "typical mom do" - but I feel if anyone could sport this, and still look decent, it was Sally Jesse.  However, this do should not be on any other woman.  It isn't a good do.  Its a curling iron catastrophe mixed with Aqua Net hairspray and maybe an Aussie 3 minute mud mask.   What I ask you women who are aging, is to find a short do that suits you, but doesn't age you as this surely will.

I am not saying I am against short hair.  I am all for short hair.  But I find that after many mom's reach a certain age, they just cut it all off and add a big poof.  I don't understand this concept and I do not want to understand it.  Question your stylist when you want a new look, and if she/he suggests this, please find a new one.

Jim Sturgess

Ever since I saw Jim Sturgess in Across the Universe, I can't help but miss how every man I found attractive, looked like he did in that movie, only what seems like a few years ago. 

Now most men have the unwashed, bearded look that has become the staple for men these days.  Not saying I am against it totally, but he woke a feeling in me that has long seemed to pass.

Now I guess my point is to only comment on his hair, but every aspect of this man is perfect, that he really deserves a mention on the entire look.

I don't really have any other words for him, other than job well done, Mr. Sturgess.
