Video: Sky Ferreira – "I Blame Myself"


Two days after debuting on VEVO, electro-indie-grunge-pop goddess Sky Ferreira's music video for "I Blame Myself" was finally made available on YouTube today. It is the second single from her awesome debut album, Night Time, My Time. Everyone should be checking it out, I love that album more than I can ever describe. Many of the songs are very relatable to me—they're so empowering and vulnerable at the same time.

The video was shot in Compton, California, and was inspired by early-'90s gangsta rap videos and Michael Jackson. Sky is seen rocking a grungy, punky look like a total badass with that bold red lipstick and cat-eye makeup. Although, as I've said before, I really do miss her long, luscious platinum blonde locks.

Now here's the fun part: The video, which premiered through Montreal-based online clothing retailer SSENSE, is sort of a "shoppable" music video, meaning you can shop the pieces Sky wears in the video from the SSENSE website! How fucking cool is that? Granted, I can't afford most of those pieces (at least not for now), but it's still a rad idea, especially for fashion aficionados like moi.

It's really sad, though, that some self-righteous whiners have accused the video of being racist and Sky of using black backup dancers as "props." Sigh. Honestly, fuck that noise. As Sky sings in her song, "You think you know me so well." Obviously they don't.


Anyway... Sky, if you're reading this (of course she is), I urge you to release a video for "24 Hours"! That song is way too fucking good to fly under the radar! I have some really good ideas, so if you want, I can totes write the treatment. Think about it, sis.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
