Mary Martha said...: I miss when she only wore black and white.

It's interesting to see how a talented artist goes from being very serious to just crassly sexual. It seems backwards somehow.; 4/11/18, 8:34 AM
rhhardin said...: They do much better with cameltoes. The gynocologist representation isn't such a great turn-on.; 4/11/18, 8:36 AM

mccullough said...: It was funny. Nice parody of the average hip hop video.; 4/11/18, 8:39 AM
Professional lady said...: I did see a woman wearing a pussy hat last week at the local Hallmark store. She was an older lady (maybe 70s) and I don't think that mentally she was all there.; 4/11/18, 8:43 AM

robother said...: Call me old-fashioned, but I much prefer these to the (admittedly tighter-fitting) asshole pants.; 4/11/18, 9:31 AM
Amadeus 48 said...: Now I can't unsee that. Oh, well...; 4/11/18, 9:41 AM
jwl said...: I thought vagina pants were going to be skin tone yoga pants with vagina drawn on so it would look like woman was naked. I did not at all expect what vagina pants actually are.; 4/11/18, 9:49 AM
mezzrow said...: It's good that you can read the comments without watching the video. It is an unknown world to me, and will remain so.; 4/11/18, 10:47 AM
pacwest said...: They couldn't have done this naked? That would have been better.; 4/11/18, 11:20 AM
YoungHegelian said...: Well, I mean, this was fun & all, but, in terms of aesthetic profundity, it just doesn't rank up there with Mayberry Meets Peaches.; 4/11/18, 12:32 PM

Darrell said...: If Taylor Swift made a music video with the same lack of diversity, she'd have to go on a five-year apology tour.; 4/11/18, 12:37 PM
mikee said...: And in the 1920s, Josephine Baker danced in a costume consisting of a halter top and a belt made of bejeweled bananas. Truly there is nothing new under the sun, or on a singer wanting publicity and using sex to sell.; 4/11/18, 1:47 PM

MaxedOutMama said...: How can you celebrate women's sexuality without men? What is this thing even about? I can't see that it would be attractive to men, and it certainly isn't for women, so whatever it's about, it's not about sex.; 4/11/18, 7:13 PM
D 2 said...: ... And with that series of wrongthought, MaxedOutMama was immediately moved up the (long & growing) list of those who evidently need to be sent to re-education camps ...

How many spots MoM jumped, ..well, no one really knows: such a determination was not left to human hands - the Zuck algorithm scraped and processed the data. But that first Q ....... My Oh my. 10,000 spots at least.

See you at the singalongs!; 4/11/18, 7:49 PM
MaxedOutMama said...: D - I tunneled under the fence and am currently living on the lam. I don't have a Facebook account.; 4/11/18, 8:02 PM

Cadbury G. Moneyfeathers said...: Janelle Monae is one of the most interesting and thought provoking artists in the world. This is her third single off of her fourth album. All three of her previous albums were critically acclaimed, and both previous singles from her forthcoming album garnered great popular and critical interest. She's garnered six Grammy nominations to date, along with many other awards. She is also a remarkably gifted actress who earned great reviews for her work in Moonlight (Best Picture) and Hidden Figures (Best Picture nominee), among other films. She's received a Screen Actors Guild Award and a second nomination, along with many other accolades for her acting.

This appears to be the first time you have chosen to write about her. Your trenchant analysis of the song and video consists entirely of, "Janelle Monae would like you to see her vagina pants. And don't miss the pussy grabbing at 2:07."

This is my long way of asking, why did you post this? Because it certainly seems like an attempt to mock and dismiss her.; 4/12/18, 1:30 PM
