Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

"Music Minute" - Candy Yum (Cum) Yum?

This one hit me hard, and by hard I mean there was a chance of me getting hard, if you know what I mean. This time Music Minute will have the (diabetes creating) pleasure to give you all my thought on the music video to Kevin Mikals "Candy Yum Yum".

 


Lets cut the crap! That video could be so many things: a boxer brief ad, a candy ad, an ad for Grindr, could be gay porn or even just a music video. But with all the oiled up men, the twerking, Willam Belli and Honey Mahagony this video just screams SEX! And if you havet seen it yet, watch it!


The song is kinda very simple, the lyrics are generic but in this sense we all already know that this is just a club tune to get us on the floor and loose our shit. And you can definitely imagine some guy blowing someone in a gay club to this tune. The video is so super sexy, and über candy filled, that one could even argue that it gives a bad stereotypical representation of the gay community. I mean the words "sex obsessed" and "porno-chic" might come up in the discussion. And yet again this is the gay couterpart to Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and really gets it going. Willam is just super funny and Honey Mahagony has appearently gotten rid of the kaftan collection.  Whatsoever, thing is that this one, allthough clearly not intended to be so, is hot material for discussing representations of the gay community and if they are either in the favour of the cause or not. But I am still to bothered with the question of wether to say its softporn or a music video. Decide on ya own, I got some "WTF" going on.
