In the mean time, this music video TERRIFIES me. I mean it's probably good, but god damn. O_O

Wow. Uh, no, I think you're right. That's really disturbing and the opposite of good.

Why does she keep humping everything? Usually, I do not have a problem with seeing such imagery, but the whole thing was so off-putting. I just wanted to put some jeans on the poor girl.

The make up is CREEPY, but well done, and the use of color is interesting? It just--squicks. In a Clockwork Orange Visuals sort of way?

YIKES.

Well, what I got from that video was: "FEMALE GENITALIA: I HAS THEM. And no eyes, and sometimes no face." Which is a message I find unsettling. I mean, here it seems to be coming from a female perspective, or I guess that's the idea? But the vagina-but-no-face thing is so linked with male-gaze exploitation, especially of the horror-movie kind, that I was seriously waiting the entire time for the chainsaws or whatever to arrive. :/ I don't know, maybe that's the point they were trying to make.

Hey, maybe it's the new I Kissed A Girl. :p

And it was INTENSELY unsettling, in that horror-movie sort of way? Again, I'd say good make up skills, interesting color, STRONG and VISCERAL imagery, but lacking in that essayistic drive to link this content and push it towards any particular narrative end?
