Katy Perry

I really don't like her. I had a mild appreciation for her danceable and sing-along-able when your drunk songs but now she's dead to me.

So the song "California Girls." I hadn't heard it until I saw some beautiful drag queens dancing to it at the Gay Pride Festival in DC last weekend. Since then I've taken part in a parody version and seen the music video.

Ok lets just start by saying she's in league with the disgusting ass hole Snoop Dogg. So in case you didn't catch the porn he produced "Diary of a Pimp," he displays a perverted desire to turn women into sex slaves. He also seems to have the deluded idea that he could do it. What the hell? Ew.

The video is disgusting. She actively turns women in candy. I mean what? We have been reduced to snack food to be consumed. And what the hell is up with the back-up girls trapped in a bubble, jell-o and body bag (ok a wrapper but she seemed deceased to me!)

I just love how at the very end she throws sand in Snoops face for blowing a kiss at her breasts but she had no problem lying on a cloud with only cotton candy covering her ass crack. Now i really do hesitate to talk about her perceived promiscuity because i'd hate to slut shame anyone, but seriously. You do a music video, the most mainstream kind of porn there is, be naked and include Snoop Dogg. I say you get whatever anyone throws at you. I mean that's just gross.

So there. I'm conflicted about what this means for my third wave feminist ideals that say you can do whatever the fuck you want as long as you understand why you do it and that you really want to. But I know that she has done nothing in this video to empower women. So she deserves a what the hell?
