Madonna and Katy Perry raunch it up, dominatrix style

I rarely post about the celebrity obsessed side of the media, as to be honest, it mostly bores me.  It either builds them up or tears them down, and that’s pathetically predictable and predictably boring.

Another predictable story angle is when a celebrity does a raunchy photo shoot or video, the more culturally conservative elements, will go batty over the raunchiness, and hyper-criticise the shoot.

So, when we had the raunchy shoot that involved Madonna and Katy Perry in lots of leather and thigh high boots, we got it all.

Personally, I believe in artistic freedom, and that means doing things that maybe aren’t quite so family friendly, alongside the more family friendly material.  Adults are fans of these singers, as well as kids, so they should be allowed to do something that is designed to appeal to their more adult fans.  Besides, there’s something really refreshing about seeing Madonna being dominated by Katy Perry in a few of those shots.

Katie Couric, a coat, a cold night, and channeling Dan Rather!

WTOP, the Washington DC all news radio station is reporting that Katie Couric has been caught on video channeling Dan Rather, when he spent half an hour discussing whether his coat should be open or closed, and his collar up or down.

The video is here, and from my expert eye, it looks like the camera is the one that was assigned to her by CBS. So, the video must have come from CBS News, or at least someone within CBS News.

Have to say though, having viewed the video, it does show Katie in a good light. She is light hearted, not over serious. It's clear she enjoys her work and the team who work with her. They're having fun during rehearsals and during the breaks in the live transmission.

I think leather gloves are very definitely Katie, and the leather boots she was wearing too. I wonder if gloves could be the new fashion trend for news anchors?!?!?

Putting the BOOT in!

I love reading Teri's Booted Up blog which is part of the Bootlovers.com site. I love boots, and gloves, the longer, the better in my book, and Teri is great for all my favourite pictures, but this time, I actually agree with her on something she says.

She posted a real vintage picture and then actually went off on a tangent about Rush Limbaugh and other "...dickless wonders..." who go off on one about "...femi-nazis..." as they call them, but comes the Universal Translator as fetishists.

I support every word she says. Read and inwardly digest.
