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.

I'm OK with that.
By the way, is it cool that I use this as an icon, Momus?

I agree with Granola-Man. She's just borderline pretty plus her accent (confused wannabe American) and drinking antics are a huge turn off to me.

I just wonder if a lot of this isn't on the costume side of the costume/fashion divide though....(obvious comment). M.I.A. wears a similar look, but more predictably. Which is a generalization.

NU-RAVE OR NO-RAVE THAT IS THE QUESTION

Sure, it's not my painting, just a snap I took at Supreme Trading (http://imomus.livejournal.com/320945.html) in Billyburg.

If you like that Bjork interview, you'd love British breakfast television! Anyway, TV interviews are inherently demystifying and nobody should do them, ever. Apart from Lovefoxxx, so we can hear her talking voice and accent:

Which reminds me -- shit! -- I have one with Current TV this afternoon. Must start putting my make-up on...

Borderline pretty and explosively pretty. Takes all kinds, I guess.

Those photos make me want to get all jazzed up for the next dance party and dance after party. Thanks for the inspiration of perspiration.

she's the best(ish), but this all happened in new york 10 years ago and you were there and she was 12.

Thinking about it, Lovefoxxx and Karen O basically fill the same shoes. Momus should like Karen as well, she's half asian after all!

Both Bjork and Lovefoxxx are alcoholics

Why do people find drinking fun?
I still remember I found adults drinking some bitter stuff stupid when i was 4, and now i m 18 and people around me always say drinking is fun. fun my ass. they are just too pathetic and thinks that they have to drink to give them license to release their emotions. Drinking is such a worthless social construct.

Anyone shares my view?
