The Met Punk Couture Pop Culture Music Loud Fast Rules In Her Own Words flashback fashion Debbie Harry This ensemble worn by Debbie Harry in 1976 is included in the Met’s Punk Couture show. The Blondie doll herself explains its provenance: “That was a T-shirt that was given to us by an old friend of Chris’s from when he was a kid. It was very, very old and tattered. And then there was a bikini bottom that was black leather. It belonged to my landlord Benton. He was a leather queen, and he said, ‘Here, you should wear this.’ I think the studded belt belonged to Handsome Dick Manitoba [of the Dictators]. I just put it together and made this little pinup outfit.” (Photo by Chris Stein)

Multiple Evan MacIsaacs perform Estelle’s “Do My Thing” featuring Janelle Monae, while done up in simple colored-paper costumes based on characters from the anime Sailor Moon. Yes, but it’s all too fabulous and you’ll like it. Really. It’s not a Tune for Today for nothing. It’s said to have taken two packs of paper and a giant roll of duct tape to make this video. And Janelle Monae herself tweeted that she liked it.

Satire Music Don Knotts david bowie Aladdon Sane

The nervous man on The Steve Allen Show, the Incredible Mr Limpet, and the unforgettable Barney Fife, of course, but Don Knotts was also, briefly, this funny David Bowie parody appearing on the sleeve of the now-impossible-to-find Aladdon Sane album. We’re guessing it died at Kmart. Has anyone out there heard it? Is there Life on Knotts? (t/y Louis)

JLS Band Disbanding

Shirtlessness Music JLS Britain Boybands

A British boyband you might not have heard of here in the States, calling themselves JLS, have just announced they’re breaking up after five years. The group, made up of four often shirtless blokes who became stars in the UK after coming in second on The X Factor back in 2008, will end their togetherness after a greatest-hits tour in December and a final single and album. So, relax, the breakup is not as imminent as threatened. (During the course of their tenure, by the way, the band had five number-one hits in the UK and earned two Brit awards.) If, like us, you were scratching your head over what JLS might stand for, we looked it up. It’s an initialization of the English expression Jack the Lad, and the boys added the S for swing. So it’s Jack the Lad Swing. In a message on their website they wrote, ”We will always remain brothers and friends and we will always be your boys.” Pass the hanky and enjoy the eye candy while you can.

Taylor Swift Rhode Island Real Estate Music Harkness House celebrity Big Houses

Not sure if Taylor Swift still owns that big house in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, that one that neighbored on the house of her temporary boyfriend, Conor Kennedy. (Yes, OK, they’re all temporary.) But just recently she’s been spending a lot of time examining the rooms in this 11,000-square-foot property in Rhode Island, the famous Harkness House that sits on 5.3 acres of impressive land. TMZ reports that she brought her family and real estate agent to the house on Monday to explore the mansion – “and really dug it.” If she ends up buying it, and she can definitely afford its $20 million pricetag, she should invite all her old exes to an extravagant blow-out party there. Because they were, after all, responsible for – and as good as wrote – those break-up songs that made her rich. (via TMZ)
