And Kristy Is The Bimbo!
2003-03-07

here's some advice. if you're feeling a tad fragile, a double feature of the "alex is dead/aliens vs. humans schism" episode of roswell, and the second season premiere of felicity where everything is awkward and they all yell at each other because felicity chose ben is probably not recommended.

at least, i was able to follow this emotional rollercoaster with some prime time flipping between the e! true hollywood story of ginger lynn (i love how even though we all just call them porn stars, they are billed as adult film actresses) and the secret of my success, which is straight-up sex farce.

now, we don't get much sex farce in the states. it's a french thing primarily. hollywood sucks all the fun out of it and calls it "romantic comedy". but, the sequence in the back of the limo where michael j. fox's aunt touches up her lipstick and seductively applies perfume to her calves, all to the strains of yello's "oh yeah"? pure unadulterated camp. brilliant. and the bed-swapping denouement? a classic. chick...chicka-chick-ahhh.

yes, THIS is what i have been reduced to.
