Lovefoxxx: Inca-Lycra queen of the 00s

imomusRainbows, stripes, gold lamé, animal prints, nu-rave, new wave, thrift leotards stretched over generous curves, all-over face paint, mid-song costume changes, clouds, toilet seats, scrawled thunderbolt letters on arms and legs, yellow nail varnish, stagediving, drawn-on specs, Inca zig zags, black metal, lycra, sexxx appeal, death from above, shopping on the road...
Does anyone now doubt it? Luísa Hanaê Matsushita -- the carnal carnie and one-woman carnival float familiar to millions as Lovefoxxx -- is this decade's key dresser, standing to the wilder, hipper, wider, hippier side of the noughties as Björk Guðmundsdóttir did to the nineties. Quite frankly, nobody does it better because nobody else, this decade, has really been trying. Let it be entered in the annals of style in gold-ink roller biro -- this may not be what we looked like in 2008 (we didn't really dare!), but it's how we'll be remembered and revived.

Date: 2008-01-21 02:49 pm (UTC)I don't know anyone who actually lives there anymore... the outer limits of Greenpoint, Bushwick, Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy, South Slope, Sunset Park, even Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, it's like a hipster diaspora.
It's funny that if something seems to be artistic or creative it gets this huuuge premium slapped on it, even though the people paying those premiums don't create anything (or even have that weird imagination to appreciate it). I'm sure there's been a million analyses of it.
