Hey kids, the music video lesson for today is how to glam it up for the camera when you are really just having a breakdown. Both of these videos were directed by Earle Sebastian, who is cleary a god.
First up: Hey Jupiter by Tori Amos.
The best part of the video is the make-up. It’s courtesy of Kevyn Aucoin, genius of make-up artistry. She looks broken and fabulous. I couldn’t find a video clip so here’s just a still of Miss Tori In Full Glory.
Next up: I Want You by Madonna.
It’s one of her least known videos and was never released with a single, but it’s one of my faves. Madonna is in full B&W magic here. It’s slow, angsty, sultry and melancholic. Her look is so… Euro blousy? That’s it, bitch is euro blousin’ for her black man! I have no idea what that means but it sounds good drunk. Enjoy.
its a good thing I’m reading this drunk then… god I love a good spicy mary… they make me feel so euro-blousy! but that’s another suitcase in another hall.
