Amanda Lepore is back with a gorgeous technicolor ode to old school diva glamour in which she struts down Hollywood Boulevard (lingering at Marilyn’s star), poses in a white Cadillac, rolls around a heart-shaped bath tub, talks dirty to a john, sings on a piano, reads tabloid trash about herself, and “shows off ‘the most expensive body on Earth.'” Buckle up, indeed, darlings, because you are going on the ride of your life!
via PAPER:
“Buckle Up” is a joyful celebration of the carnivalesque, campy divahood that has defined Lepore’s brand and life. “It’s time to get a bit vulgar,” she sings unapologetically, reclaiming the word others would use to smear her. The viewer has no choice but to give in, and worship Lepore as the self-made sex icon she is. The video’s shameless audacity will feel classic to longtime fans, but for those less familiar, “Buckle Up” is a crash course in Amanda Lepore.
Says director Josef Jasso (who created the film with artist Zaebear):
“Amanda Lepore truly is the epitome of glamour and her dedication to it is utterly astounding.” says director Josef Jasso. “This film Zaebear and I created together, is a hyper stylized visual statement of the sensational life that she actually leads, over-the-top and wildly entertaining to watch. Collaborating with Zaebear was fantastic. He is an artist whose work I have admired for a long time. We have different aesthetics but our tastes are similar and I feel ‘Buckle Up’ is an excellent blend of those two signature styles to create one magical film.”
