I become a sex object. And it's wonderful.

One of the summer's oddest developments is the emergence of a LiveJournal community in which women in their teens and twenties (some of them raised in Mormon households) celebrate -- both ironically and unironically -- a certain 47 year-old "musician, blogger, columnist, all around Renaissance man" in a spirit defiantly at odds with his own self-mediations. While Momus discusses Uzbek teahouses, the LOLZ girls are busy making stickers saying "I wish I was Asian so I could have his babies!" and "I sometimes wish that he would keep me in his secret death chamber". While Momus delivers a lecture on the Straubs and boringness, the LOLZGIRLZ are showing a Momus pumpkin they made as a church activity, or indoctrinating their little brothers into Momuslove, or writing slash porn in which Momus makes out with the drummer from McFly. Their latest effort is a series of MS Paint pictures which, with the girlz' permission, I'd like to share with you today.



The cribbage joke is a reference to "pegging", a phrase the girlz used. When I looked it up I learned that pegging is "the act of penetrating a person's anus with a strap-on dildo" and "in cribbage, the use of pegs to keep score".

Cribbage...

..."Summer Holiday 1999" now has a far different connotation in the comments than I had originally thought!

[ishinagami.livejournal.com]

You know your popular with the ladies when they write slash fiction about you.

[blackmoth.livejournal.com]

I will never again doubt your blogging prowess. This is the top!

LAAAHHHHVVE!

[womanonfire.livejournal.com]

"travestied with love"

[rhodri.livejournal.com]

Is it not just a load of blokes taking the piss?

[imomus.livejournal.com]

They'll be along in a minute to answer that, Rhodri.

NOOOOOO

[electricwitch.livejournal.com]

YOU HAVE UNCOVERED MY SECRET

When I was a teenager, you and your music meant a lot to me, Momus. There was this sense of of mystique and glamour and I used to get terribly excited when you had a new album out. Fifteen years later, I see you've become just another nerd with a blog, probably more invested in momus_lolz than making music. Moral of the tale: you should never meet your heroes or read their blogs.

LOL WAY TO NOT INCLUDE MY DRAWING

DADDY DOESNT LOVE ME ANYMOOOOOREEEEE!!! *CRIES*

[imomus.livejournal.com]

Nooooooo, it was just because it had a different texture from the others -- used photos, had a white background, and so on. I wanted it to look totally MSPainty.

[electricwitch.livejournal.com]

LOL
"in a spirit defiantly at odds with his own self-mediations."

ILU BB.

[councilestate.livejournal.com]

oh my god. this is definitely going into my memories.

[imomus.livejournal.com]

Tell Rhodri you're a girl, girl!

[beketaten.livejournal.com]

That is truly splendid that you would choose to showcase this bizarre underside of your cult of postmodernity.
Something tells me electricwitch is twitching with ecstasy right now ! (as am i :P)

But MCFLY??...Really, now, that's going far too low. I'd have at least chosen Neil Hannon.

[electricwitch.livejournal.com]

Hey mcfly are sexy ok.

I don´t have the energy to twitch, trying to reach the end of my Frankenstein chapter so I can go out to buy booze and then collapse in a drunken stupor at our flat party.

what is the cultural meaning of penetrating a person's anus with a strap-on dildo

[kalafa.livejournal.com]

um, it's hot

[kalafa.livejournal.com]

there's a pretty good jarvis cocker one my ex-girlfriend started as well as one devoted to pretty much all of post-punk that had blown pretty big as well. i don't know if either of those could bring me the pleasure experienced today upon discovering momus_lolz considering my personal infatuation with you.

i'm pretty jealous. i DID write a pretty good song about/for you at one point and never got a post. not that that was my intention. these girls can only mess around with MS paint and photoshop. excuse me, blingee. i guess i sort of surrender to those skillz.

in the making:

Very cute. How envious I am!

Just for old time's sake, here's my own Momus fan art:

That was epic. Thanks for sharing it again.

[cap-scaleman.livejournal.com]

I like the community, but why not use this photo as a background (http://imomus.com/dailyphoto280403.html) instead ladies?

[electricwitch.livejournal.com]

i think weve had that one before... anyway we all have it taped to the bedroom ceiling already we dont also need to see it online...

*snore* This blog has officially jumped the shark.

[imomus.livejournal.com]

What was your favourite entry, while it was still good?

[microworlds.livejournal.com]

You never did answer my question.

Would you let me peg you?

[lord-whimsy.livejournal.com]

Not to disrupt an intimate moment, but I have to say this (http://microworlds.livejournal.com/) is genius, and adorably funny. Keep it up.

Good to know...

[saint-claws.livejournal.com]

I really feel like I have made it as an artist now. I look forward to the admiration of my peers until I slowly succumb to alcoholism and the dark side of my own self-satisfaction. If anyone wants to have a torrid love affair with me before my untimely death on the floor of a hotel bathroom, feel free to ask.

[iampixiedust.livejournal.com]

What a truly revealing post this was about everyone, and amazing too.

I feel totally anonymous and excluded for not havin participated in the least.
