The One Where I Pimp Lesbian Hillary Love
In this instance, I happen to be talking about the people's power to mock, ogle, citicize, rib and obsess over pop culture, and more recently, the political process.
To be still more specific, my newest obsession of the minute is Taryn Southern's very fabulous and spoofy Hott 4 Hill! video that is making the pop culture rounds. My love for this video knows no bounds: for its queerness, for its satire, for its brass. I just love it. The Obama Girl vid may have started it, but Taryn Southern has taken it to a whole new level.
Here's the vid. Be sure and scroll down to check out her introduction to the video, aptly titled A Letter To My Fellow Americans, which is also found on her website hott4hill.blogspot.com (where the vid can also be seen, if it's loading too slow here.)
A letter to my fellow Americans:
On June 13, 2007, the face of the 2008 presidential campaign was forever changed with the release of a provocative video known as "Obama-Girl."
It was all there - a passionate statement of love and partisan politics - thoughtfully packaged into a catchy pop song.
In less than a week, the Obama-Girl tribute to Democratic candidate Barrack Obama earned several million online hits and played on primetime news stations across the country.
Now let me preface my announcement by saying that I am no stranger to politics. I ran for Student Council President in the 7th grade. I attended the 2004 presidential debates in Miami. I even met Bob Dole this year in the Las Vegas airport.
Following the release of the Obama-Girl video, I felt that it was my social responsibility to provide America with a fair and balanced view of the 2008 Democratic campaign by showing my love and support for my own favorite candidate - Ms. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
