Trivialities

[katranna]

It's a shame that I spent most of today stuck inside a car. The weather in DC was gorgeous, especially in the park by my house. I always forget until I go back in the spring how beautiful the neighborhood is. No other place I've seen has sky that's as blue as the sky there, or grass that's as green. There are cloudy and gray days, of course,

My dear, you probably know this but Mika is not British at all, he is in fact from one of those countries we NEVER see popstars emerging from, but I forget its name, now. Which leads us neatly into the question of exoticism and sexual ambiguity, esp when it comes to Eastern exoticism.

I really want to write a book about Orientalism, sexual ambiguity and rock n roll one of these days.

Yeah, half-Lebanese, half-American by birth. He doesn't actually even have a British accent, but I thought I'd classify him by his country of origin in terms of where his music's coming from. :-D

So, uh, yeah. I have a thing for curly haired Semitic boys. Is it too painfully obvious?

That's another way he follows Freddie, though: British-but-really-from-the-Other.

[electricwitch]

Yes, I think that´s why people keep comparing him to Freddie, really. I don´t know, I rather like his music but not ENOUGH, you know. He is camp, but not ENOUGH. Yet I don´t feel he´s too subtle for me. It is rather insane-making.

Hee! One day you and I will find our swarthy curly-haired butt-boys and be happy.

Well, there's that one I know who's totally cute, but, you know, gay. As it goes.

Maybe you and I should go on holiday to Israel.

[katranna]

I could go for free! The only thing is, they're likely to be Zionists there. I need secular non-Zionist Jewish boys. :-P

But we should go on holiday to Ireland. I am told that both JRM and Cillian Murphy have a look that is "typical" in Cork.
