Girls Aloud - Love Machine
Check out this great Brit-pop video (first found via Beautiful Atrocities):
Instead of a Sci Fi babes poll, let's have us a "Girls Aloud" poll. Watch the video and vote Green (my favorite), Blue, Pink, Yellow, or White.

All of those great dresses are available for purchase online from gorgeouscouture.com.
Who knew that Mr. Grok was such a style maven?
Uh...
I can't believe that I just watched that...
For shame! For shame!
(But I've got to say, Yellow.)
And CHECK OUT that bartender's juggling moves...!

Don, It's got a catchy beat and melody, doesn't it? [Yellow was a *close* second to green, btw]. Congrats on graduating and on your pending nuptials.
Love to read those silly fashion rags. But sadly dealing with Valentino taste on a Wal-Mart budget. The Girls Aloud video is brilliant advertising for those smokin' gowns. Wealthy teenager watches the Girls Aloud video on VH1, tells daddy "Buy me that dress for prom!" And daddy says "Anything you want, pumpkin." Ka-ching, another sale. Don't need to remind you that most of the dresses will be sold to gals who probably are delusional. Frau Grok, on the other hand, is one of the select few who could actually wear couture a la Audrey Hepburn. Yes, it is an unjust universe.
Posted by: Beth A. at June 21, 2006 04:05 PMFrau Grok and I are taking a cruise in September, and I half-jokingly told her I was going to get her one of those gorgeouscouture dresses for evening wear. She demurred, stating that she's "too old." Now I'm going to make sure she reads your comment so that she knows an unbiased observer [you] concurs with me that she could pull it off.
