I suppose that twerking in itself is nothing shocking or new - Itās that Cyrus is just so damn DULL, and apparently canāt come up with anything other than lame shock tactics to keep her lame ass in the news. (She did a ārootsā album a few years ago, performed by the cream of the crop of Nashville alt-country pros. It got decent reviews, and it didnāt sell for shit - So, twerking is her next best idea. Sad.)
lol, Steamtwerk.
Although Asta Nielsen appears to have sufficient booty to effectively twerk (which Miley does not), twerking is a long long way from what she is doing. To twerk you gotta get low and shake it so that your buttcheeks slap together. She appears to be doing some kind of emo butt rub dance with the tied up guyā¦
To quote Nicky Da B: āā¦spread your legs, arch your back, go up and down and make it clapā
Yowza. But does she like her guys tied up, or is she rescuing him by secretly freeing his hands while she distracts the guards?
Yes.
Ohhhh. See, I thought she said āStand there and Iāll work your bonds loose.ā
Accidental crotch grab around 1:08.
I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE cough cough I mean, my, what an attractive young lady, and the disparity in the time periods dismays me.
I havenāt seen the Miley Cyrus twerking video
Why would you start with this?
Clearly youāve heard about her performance, and see fit to comment on the hubbub thatās followed it, but why make a point to wear this statement like a badge?
Maybe Iām making a mountain out of a molehill, but that really came off to me like āwell, IāM a little too hip to have watched that trash, but for the rest of youā¦ā
Because if not, I assume the thought process would either go āI guess I should take one minute to watch something Iām referencingā or āI probably shouldnāt make a point to emphasize that Iām not going to.ā
I was thinking the same thing. Then I thought, maybe itās a normal reaction to slow down and stare at car crashes, but actually going out and looking for them is a bit perverse. Maybe Mark felt lucky that he was somehow able to avoid this particular crack-up, and in the interest of preserving a small portion of his humanity, dignity, good taste, andāyesāsanity, he now prefers to travel (cognitively) in the opposite direction. On the other hand, as the curator of a site devoted to cultural odds and ends, many topical and quite a few downright bizarre, maybe heās more like a paramedic or doctor, a trained professional who has a real obligation to rush to the accident scene and do his best to triage the victims. But then again, even doctors get day off. Unless theyāre on call. Personally, I think Mark should be on call for this type of stuff, but I completely understand if he needs a break and wants to relax by watching Asta Nielsenās erotic āGauchoā dance. Miley will still be around for a while and he can catch up when heās ready to work again.
You are making a mountain out of a molehill.
Youāre right comparing M.C.'s performance to a car crash because thatās exactly what it was and some people prefer to look the other way in the face of such intimate disasters. I havenāt watched the video either. Just seeing her over the top tongue gyrations and her face that oddly lacked any life or hint of real raunchiness was enough phoniness. That said, thereās no reason why after being bombarded by her act which seemed more important than an impending war, an informed person canāt make connections with similar āshockingā performances of the past.
There was some mighty fine twerking to be seen in Mumbai in 1968.
This is not twerking.
If you canāt bring yourself to watch the referenced bad example OR the referenced better examples, you might want to at least look up the term before using it incorrectly.
Unless you really enjoy having net-rocks thrown at you. But I assume that you arenāt trolling deliberately.
Sounds more like heās simply stating that he has not seen it and acknowledging the subjective and speculative nature of his statement that the one he is linking to is better. I havenāt seem it either- not because I am too hip but because I am too cheap to spend money on a television set.
OK, but without a TV how did you watch this 1910 videoā½
Touching your dance partner? Obscene.
What, you are using a TI-99 to read this blog on your TV?
