As a laugh a few weeks ago I signed up to be one of the 16 contestants for an underground DISCO ROBOT dancing competition. Little did I know professional robots will be there with actual dance skills. Will I walk away without my diginity (I didn't have too much left anyway) OR with a $500 cash prize?!
I'm sure I need gimmicks to dangle off my flailing limbs - LED lights etc... hmmm it's going to be a busy morning of construction...any decent ideas are welcome.
Zandor was a little PR shy but here's a secret link for the event.
It's not easy being a struggling artist and Z list celebrity. Your lesser known work can easily be stolen by higher profile artists to be championed as their own. It's known to happen but I never thought Nicki Minaj would stoop so low as to my YouTube Channel for inspiration.
Fans familiar with my body of work will recall my 2010 cult classic music video hit, 'People from the Third World are Hot (that's why we screw them)'.
Initially performed in a corner of the Lord Raglan Hotel in Surry Hills the song slowly worked it's way into the worst Comedy Revue Macquarie University has ever seen. The entire cast were gowned in hessian sacks and blackface (this was before Hey Hey It's Saturday made blackface completely inappropriate here in Australia and well before Chris Lilley made it OK again). To my credit, only a small portion of the audience walked out during that number. I then retired the tune exclusively to YouTube. Once I saw Nicki Minaj's visual effort for 'Starships' the similarities between my 2010 video and her latest were uncanny. I wasn't alone. The SMS came flooding in. (I'm not sure of the correct spelling for SMS in the plural but in this case I am using it in the singular.)
Thank you Colin, I emphatically agree. Let's run through it: 1. BOTH VIDEOS ARE SET ON THE BEACH. Yes a lot of videos are set on the beach - but not all are facing the south side? With a cliff?!! Outrageous copying. 2. WE BOTH STAND ON A ROCK.My butt is smaller than Nicki's here but I've been gradually catching up over the last 20 months. Cheesecake, yum. 2. WE BOTH LOVE A KALEIDOSCOPE FILTER ON OUR FACE 3. AND OUR ARMS. Ok the beach alone wouldn't have been worthy of a blog post but cutting it with the same Final Cut Express kaleidoscope trickery? This pink lady is worse than Rizzo. 4. VOLCANIC ENDING? YEP. WE BOTH HAVE THAT TOO. Give me a break Minaj. I'm not some naive Sophia Grace and Rosie you can milk for free. I want a shopping spree for books and book bags too. In fact, I want a book wardrobe for my book bags. Hell, I want a book house for my book wardrobe.
If there are any procrastinating kids reading this from a law firm please get in touch ASAP re lawsuit. My starship has arrived.
Who doesn't love a tipple before a movie? Who doesn't love a tipple after a movie? (Personally I also like a tipple during a film but this post ain't about hip flasks).
