ashcan rantings: do you like my style? my sexy sexy sexy

I've been really slacking off today. I just realized I've spent over an hour putting celebrities' pictures into myheritage.com's face recognizer just to see if they look most like themselves (Sharon Tate looks most like Beyonce, only 76% like herself; Prince looks 55% like Jessica Simpson; and my personal favourite, Mary-Kate looking 97% like Ashley, 86% like herself)

Anyway, I'm really obsessed with Janet Jackson's new video for Feedback. I don't know why. I'm not a Janet fan, though I am a huge MJ fan. This video, though, is the best video since Ciara's Promise. I love how even though the song is fast, most of the video is in slow motion. The dancing is rad, as always with a Jackson. The space theme, you would think it would be played out, but this seems so innovative. I didn't like the song at first, but it's grown on me.
I allow myself one Youtube watching of this each day...it is the most sacred part of my day.
Watch it. Now!

My Sexy List Poll results are in and it was tight race between Alex Turner and Johnny Depp...but as of right this minute, the winner is Alex Turner with 13 votes to Johnny Depp's 12. In a surprisingly upset, Demetri Martin came in third. The only person with no votes?
My beloved Prince.

"Talk to the hand, you skinny fashion blogger bitches! You ain't ready for a man comfortable enough in his masculinity to wear heels, eyeliner and lots of purple"

aww stop, youre making me blush (but dont actually, i looove it): testimonials from other blogs:

"I read your whole page and thought what a great writer you are. So personal and smart. I loved the Bob Dylan piece. I went to see him in Santa Monica last month and thought the same thing. My generation were so badly behaved... surprisingly obnoxious really. Thank you again, you made my day..." -Catherine James

"Daily reader of the blog Ashcan Rantings? Yes? Then you know it's a blog which is very rare to find. A true gold mine in this blogosphere. If no? Then you have been missing out on a lot of incredible posts by the lovely, witty and brilliant Molly, creator behind the oh-so fantastic Ashcan Rantings. "-sunniva

"We all dream of finding the perfect vintage fashion, but Molly dreams of being Vintage. It's always refreshing in this copycat popculture of both Fergie and High School Musical to find a teen who is truly original in her interests. From Molly I've learned all sorts of randomosity about the 1960s, thanks for the education. But every so often, even Molly lets modern day popculture become her latest obsession, it's nice to have a fellow Arctic Junkie out there hehe"-jayne

"the always-awesome Molly just mentioned on her blog that he is, as the kids say, super-majorly-extremely-finger-lickin'-good-hot. Well, I think she used more normal words. But...word, Molly"
"the perennially fab Molly over at Ashcan Rantings"
-emma

"One of the funniest blogs and the future Mrs Artic Monkey." -coco

"You have the greatest taste in music. Your devotion to Prince, fashion and all things hippie caught my eye and I could never look away. Your blog always lifts my mood. I wish I could hang out with you and sing some Prince karaoke. " -pretty in black

"I noticed Molly from Ashcan Rantings has a thingy on her blog showing where people have mentioned her. Well, do you think it would be ok if I just mention her here? Or will she just tastefully pass over this post, pretending like it never happened? Well Molly, here goes. YOU ARE GREAT! I WISH I WAS AS WITTY AND FUN AS YOU! WHY ARE WE YELLING?"
"1. She's cool. No, not Keds cool. Like, future rockstar cool. The girl you see at the record store cool. The girl at the gym who listens to funk music cool. She's that kind of cool.
2. She knows who she is.
3. She has an excellent sense of humor.
4. She's an old soul, but not in a boring, geriatric way.
5. She has excellent (and accurate) pop culture references. "
"Molly is probably the coolest person you will ever meet. Not that you guys aren't cool...but she is going to a George Clinton and Parliment-Funkadelic concert. She's witty, interesting, and intelligent. Also, she is on vacation so won't re post this (now, anyway). But I feel she deserved some credit."
-sister libby

"Good lord but Molly is funny. And also possessing of impressive musical taste. Her blogger profile alleges that she's from Fiji. If this is true Molly, please email me so we can talk about Levuka. Then again, Molly is also listed as 252 years old, so I have my doubts as to her Fijian citizenship."
-Sarah Von

"one of my new favourite blogs, it is always full of fun and interesting posts and the creator is cool as fuck"
-miss maybel

"Molly is a very witty blogger. Her blog covers music, film, fashion & so much more. I always get a kick out of her latest blogs on whatever topic. She covers everything from the 60's and 70's to today's entertainment world."
-Keith

"The ten best things about Molly:
1- you are rarely embarrassed
2- you are strange beyond belief
3- you have level 57 stalking powers
4- You pick every last detail apart
5- you are good at making plans
6-you cried at Arlo Guthrie
7- you're dancing, i like to sit back an interpret it..
8-you can put up with demons (children) so i don't have to
9- i once saw you punch a tiger in the face
10- you can get along with pretty much everyone."
-Michele

"Molly has been my blogging buddy since the invention of the wheel and will continue to be my luscious buddy until we can email hologram kisses to each other. Molly is a fellow music junkie and has convinced me to listen to artists I would've otherwise dismissed. Molly has more WIT in her pinky nail than most do throughout their entire body. Every visit is a stimulating experience... BOW DOWN BISHES."
-Crazy Eddie

"This girly...Molly...is more than half my age and she opened my eyes to some music I never would have heard without her!"
-Jill

"I love you and your blog was the first blog I ever fell in love with. Can i be in your side bar now?" -maya

And I laughed out loud at your Prince quote, haha. You crack me up.; January 23, 2008 12:58 p.m.
Anonymous said...: Ehehehe...as much as I like Prince's voice, Alex is Alex and my Alex comes in first place....ohhhhh skinny! I WISH :P; January 23, 2008 2:52 p.m.
Mónica said...: poor Prince! hihi; January 23, 2008 3:25 p.m.
hannah said...: ok. im a little upset, but alex is a fierce competitor to johnny.

peace; January 23, 2008 3:39 p.m.
A. said...: I remember my little fourth grade heart just falling head over heels for that man after seeing The Patriot, and especially A Knight's Tale. I remember thinking he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. I know this is silly of me, that I didn't know him or anything...but it's really making me sad! I'm not sure why.

I sound like some ridiculous fangirl!; January 23, 2008 4:32 p.m.

LDF said...: Prince is all sexy and everything but you just KNOW that he is a bit of an ass to his wives. That's why they always leave him.; January 23, 2008 5:01 p.m.
Jaclyn said...: Loving the video! Your post lable amuses me, You tube is your friend. lol. I finally posted!; January 23, 2008 5:08 p.m.
TheClocktowerForest said...: Thanks Molly! I felt like I needed something fresh for the new year. Whats more punk rock than going the opposite? Black and white are both very strong colors so it seemed fitting to make a polar transition. Plus, this time of year I break out my ghostly white nail polish.

BTW
Like a true music junkie I'll check out Harma White.; January 23, 2008 5:14 p.m.

Miss Zoe said...: dammit Molly! if only I had been more consistent in my reading I would have voted for Prince and given him one, measly yet well deserved vote... boooo although I could also have voted either Lenny, Mick or Johnny a close second...; January 24, 2008 1:59 a.m.
Cate said...: yay i voted for alex! and i HAVE to confessed i'm not a digger for prince... not sure if i am a fashion blogger or something-else-blogger though.. ^^
i like janet jackson's video, but I'm not a big fan of michael jackson!
the skinny blogger bitch

WAT said...: I like the Janet vid/song, although I read she was struggling on the charts. She's just not as powerful on the scene as she used to be I suppose?

Ok, so Matt Helders (whatever) is a Brit, but he looks all-American to me! SO THERE!

As for Prince not getting votes, well...he has such a unique look ya know? I guess most of us just see him as a brilliant songwriting musician and not sexually I guess.; January 26, 2008 4:20 p.m.
SICK. said...: myheritage.com told me that i looked like helena christensen.
riight...
