Sinister: *dank little cave*
by Newth, Tom 28 Jun '99

Without wishing to belittle a serious discussion, I personally find hairy pits very sexy and it says in the Joy of Sex that you should not shave any body hair for the amazing natural-odour-retainng abilities it possesses which help even the measliest specimen of humanity capture the person of their desires. Provided they smell nice. And the whole farrago about Julia Roberts' not shaving her pits before the Notting Hill premiere was pretty disgusting and made me stop watching the Big Breakfast. Not that I go for her, but nuff respect, I say. Does anyone know if Isobel shaves? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: girls with guitars and hairy arms........sexy!

Genevevie: >The reason Angry-Woman singers make me cringe is beacuse they perpetuate (is that the right word) their own stereotype, the whole Lilith Fair `I don`t shave my armpits therefore I am Woman` thing going on. It makes the good angry women to be lumped in with them. I prefer male voices anyways, I dunno..i just do..we all have our preferences you know.I like a nice female now you bring up preference, i'll admit i *generally* prefer female voices, i think they sound prettier most of the time, i tend to be more picky about the sound of a male voice for some reason, which doesn't mean i dont' like any of them. just that if you took my musick collection and percented it, there would probably be more women voices in there. >that the right word) their own stereotype, the whole Lilith Fair `I don`t >shave my armpits therefore I am Woman` thing going on. It makes the good >angry women to be lumped in with them there is so much wrong with this statement i don't know where to start. perpetuating your own stereotype is an entirely different thing than being generalized against their will. Lilith Fair is decidedly *not* the epitomy of Womanhood, it's a stereotype in itself, what with the Jewels and what not, i think that's a kind of poor comparison to "angry" women in music. If i were truly angry and wanted to cause a fuss, i would definitely steer clear of the whiny mentality of lilith fair, "we're girly and some of us dont' shave our legs, but most of us are backed up by all-male bands anyway but let's all dance and sing about feminine hygiene". that's a joke. AND let me vent a little bit. it really irks me when people have the impression that the only thing qualifying you as a "woman" or "feminist" is not to shave your armpits. or that if you like to wear dresses or something, you can't be a "real" woman. the whole point of the feminist movement was so that women could CHOOSE the way they want to be, and men too, so anyone who wants to can wear a dress, or choose not to shave their legs or whatever. i just don't understand why people can't get over it already know what i mean? i'm coming from the standpoint of recognizing women have been locked into stereotypes for centuries (and thus men as well have been prisoners of gender roles) but i don't go around trying to tell anyone how to dress or act. maybe sometimes i am not absolutely prompt about shaving my legs, but i also like wearing dresses, and lacy lingerie, and metallic green lipstick and carrying hello kitty bags. does that make me a sell-out?? i dont' think so. if any feminist type woman told me so, i'd tell them to fuck off, cos it's my choice. things like that are so shallow and inconsequential. Just cos a few women are out there not shaving their armpits doesn't mean they are forcing you to do so. but i think it's nice we have the freedom to act the way we want these days. I jsut don't understand why anyone would get all up in arms about "angry women" anyway. if you dont' like the music, just say so. no need to be trivializing about a massive group of (totally unrelated, btw) musical performers in an imaginary category. And yes. sorry for going out on a limb, and genevieve you know i love you :o) I just tend ot have really strong opinions, which makes me a loud angry WOMAN!!!! woo-hoo. the very fact that we would think to say Angry Women, just tells us we have a little ways to go before the social playing field is totally wiped clean. isn't it ironic? dont'cha think? Another puzzling conundrum: bel-bashing!! wherefore, and why?? who could be more innocuous, sweet and harmony-inducing?? not exactly the type to cause raging riots of bloody hatred. i just dinna underrrstaahhndit. those must be the same type of ppl who kick over little kids sand castles on teh beach, jsut to be nasty!!! cos their days of innocence are gone. *sigh* i never went to prom. i didnt have a date. but i would totally go to prom with artgirl if it were possible. after all, i have just now learnt the art of slowdancing and moving cheek to cheek with your beloved in quivery disco-ball fever, your hands slick with sweat and tentatively moving closer closer.......it would be easy to add the ruffle of organdy and taffeta to that image, and mayb ea bunch of frat boys drunk on spiked punch, drooling over the hormone-inducing spectacle of me and my beloved. but i'm getting away from myself now. Prom would only be nice if you had someone special to go with. as a ritual, a legislated passage in which you spend much much money on a bad dress and then go get totally bored to death while preppies and jocks feel each other up to a Boyz2 Men song, i would say it's highly over rated, and that's why i chose not to go, i had not found a beloved yet. and i dont' regret not going. it would have meant nothing to me. maybe it would have seemed more exciting if there was a girl/girl prom, but there wasn't. which is why i'm glad i'm older now, and i can dance with girls if i choose to. THAT's what women's lib was all about, my friends, my glorious friends. i pity the fool what don't understand THAT. i think i remember a time when amanda artgirl hadn't shaved under her arms. at least i'd like to think so. i find that sexy for some reason. i guess i'm just a nature kind of girl. *ummm...shiver* like isobel's sweat stains. tres sexy, no? okay, just me. sorry, i'm grossing everybody out now. *goes back to her dank little cave* (ah blimey, i just realized how freudian that was....) hello kitty is very girly, but i like her a lot. i just dont' like her teddy bear. i REFUSE to buy a hello kitty item that has the teddy bear on it. the rabbit is fine, the birds are great, but no fucking teddy bears!!! okay!!!! Badtz maru is just the best. the colors......the sanrio design ethic fascinates me. i just love it. i dont' like some of the keroppi design, but badtz-maru is ALWAYS looking fab. i also like the angel hello kitty!!! oui oui!!! there should be sanrio versions of b/s. oh a little hello isobel!!!! and Beanz-Maru!!!! Kerokerostuartmurdoch!!!!!! Allen, your Liza is looking dreamy as usual......*swoon* i have to go take my medication now. sorry for posting so much this weekend, i'll refrain for a while. let's have a groovy time, LJ http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange they were like those gauche youths who turn up to house parties only to cling to the dark corners in chaste disdain, driven by the naive, vaguely inhuman conviction that all merriment is a lie.

Sinister: Did I say that?
by McQuain, Chris 28 Jun '99

28 Jun '99

Genevieve wrote the hilarious story below, which I think should be promptly performed in a sketch on Saturday Night Live. It'd be the funniest thing they've had on in years and years. It would be Xtra funny if Genevieve played Isobel AND herself, a la Mike Myers. :) Did I, in a fit of Bel defensiveness, call Gen-V a mean, nasty girl? I'm afraid I did. It was a joke about the jealousy, though. What I should have said is that I felt her COMMENTS were mean and nasty, and I still can't imagine anybody not thinking Isobel is pretty. As if Isobel even cares or needs us to come o her defense, but we do it 'cos we love her. I'm sure Genevieve is a lovely girl. I find nothing wrong with going to the prom; it may have sounded otherwise, but I couldn't recall the name of the person who wrote that Bel had bad hair, I only remembered she had a story about going to her prom. Regardless of our difference in opinion about the bewitching Isobel C., Genevieve has the ability to make me laugh out loud (read the story below and just TRY not laughing, no matter how much you love 'Bel!) and I'm sure she's a kick to have around, not mean or nasty at all. In fact, it makes the story even FUNNIER because everybody (myself included) leapt to Bel's defense so seriously, and here comes Genevieve back, worried expression on her face. She's on a mission; to save her reputation from being that of a mean, nasty prom girl, she must whisper in our ears the deep, dark secret of WHY she has an aversion to I. Campbell. It's shocking! Titillating! Horrifying! !!!! I expect to see Genevieve writing Simpsons episodes within a fortnight. Of course Isobel would never behave as she does in the story, but that just adds the delightful sacrilege... Viva irreverence, read on.... -Two or Three Things I Know About Chris ************************************************************* >>>>>>Cold fish...gosh,I suppose I stepped over the line with that one.Hit me with that ruler please! whack whack whack, I apologize Isobel lovers.You can make fun of Stuarts all you want to balance it out.I won`t mind. But let me explain, you know how some people may look beautiful to you,but then you get to know them,and they have an ugly heart,and the aura makes them look bad too? Well,let me tell you a little story.Many moons ago,I was in Scotland with my father on a buisness trip.Now,I`m a little embarassed to say this,but I went Stuart Murdoch hunting..and yes,I did find him! (with Isobel) I`m terrible hideous shy dork though,so I couldn`t bring myself to talk to him...my tongue felt heavy,my knees weak! so..I just followed him (yes,a stalker I know) through the forest,where I witnessed Struan`s Beautiful Heart...the little angel,do you know what he does? He stops to pick up injured little critters...frogs,butterflies, wounded chipmunks. He even makes minature leg plasters for the frogs. Anyways,while Stuart would tenderly pick the wounded little creatures Isobel (on a drug induced fury,I`m sure) would jump on them and throw their limp bodies into the ditch. Shivering behind the tree,I saw saw Stuart shout out `Stop it Isobel! Please...they aren`t hurting you!` and she responded by punching him in the face. Stuart then collapsed to the ground and pleaded `Please don`t! I bruise easy!` and then Isobel went `Shut it,bitch` and kicked him in the nads.I tried to help Struan but Isobel threw rocks and sticks at me,so I had to run away,fearing my life.<<<<<<<<< +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: "Pink, it's like red but not quite"
by angel 28 Jun '99

28 Jun '99

Arantxa, after her wimbledon tennis defeat*, commented: "It is amazing to my eyes how Brazilians as Gabriela or Ivo, who has become a lurker or quitted straight away, can feel close to their songs." where is Ivo? does anybody know? Ivo, are you there? and do you still love Orlando as much? i too feel that B&S' music has a grey, wintery quality to it, but perhaps that is because it is always grey and wintery when i am listening to them. i was just thinking this morning how i wouldn't like to live anywhere where there wasn't as much rain as in Yorkshire. i love rain so much, it makes me feel happy inside. the only problem with the rain is that i have to liberate a mouse today, and that means getting very wet, as i have to go far enough away from my house to ensure my cats won't bring the mouse back. Lesley Jo's wallet has Badtz-Maru on it.. so does mine, and so does my (male) best friend's. there is a little stall of cute Japanese goodies in the corn exchange in Leeds, and my friend and i fell in love with the same wallet, so we had to buy one each. Hello Kitty is a little TOO cutesy and girly and clichéd for me, but i am a wee bit cutesy and girlie (and maybe clichéd too, who am i to say?) so Badtz-Maru was perfect. he is cartoony cute, but he has an evil streak. my friend's a bit girlie too, and he revels in it. the wallets are plastic, and mine is already falling apart.. *sigh* but it's okay cos we're going back to Leeds to shop in preparation for Breeze free festival which is a week from today, and will be featuring the lovely Rosita. is this the right list for being obsessed with an ex-member of Kenickie? no? okay then i won't go on about it. oh, i have to go now, it's stopped raining. i need to find the rodent-carrying device. love abi, who could broadcast Animal Hospital live from her own house, if only she had the obligatory australian celebrity. *please excuse wilful confusing of listmember with tennis star, it is my favourite pastime. next week: Tim Hopkins or is it Tim Henman, in "hilarious" similar name fun. or maybe not. i think probably not. sorry, i'll go now. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Get Me Away from Here, I'm Drying
by Lana622＠aol.com 28 Jun '99

28 Jun '99

Hello all! I'm so happy that there's a fellow legion of Bad Badtz Maru fans out there! With the wallets and everything! Some of my friends went to the website and found out that there are actually two amusement parks in Japan completely devoted to Hello Kitty and co., and they have parades and special rides and anything else you could ever want. I agree, Hello Kitty is sort of uber-girly, but Bad Badtz is, well, he's kind of special. Do you think that he could be the official Belle and Sebastian Sanrio character? I can't think of a better guy (or should I say, penguin [that's what he is, right?]) to represent B+S. Anyway, after my major "so, who is Dylan anyhow?" faux pas, I hesitate to ask another question and would like to begin with a disclaimer: Please don't kill me if someone has asked this before. My humblest apologies beforehand. Has anyone ever *seriously* misheard a B+S lyric? Yes, yes, I know that the lyrics come with the CD, and I plead ignorance and laziness, but for the longest time I thought that the line in "Get Me Away from Here, I'm Dying" was "Well, I've fucked up, Janet you know" instead of the correct "Well, we're photogenic, you know." I went around singing that for awhile, wondering who Janet was exactly. Has anyone else ever made similar errors in listening? Come on, you know you're out there...don't make me feel like I'm the only one. Before I go, I'm glad Mean Nasty Prom Girl (just kidding, Genevieve) had a good time at prom. I'm glad she got to go to prom. My 22 year-old "date" turned out to be a psychopath and compulsive liar who told me he was in the air force and lived in Egypt and all sorts of good stuff when he's probably never been outside of Pittsburgh. I had to cancel; I became quite frightened of him. Sigh....I'm quite bitter toward all things prom now.

Sinister: Everything I Do, I Do For You
by Genevieve Wesley 27 Jun '99

27 Jun '99

Dear Sinister List, Cold fish...gosh,I suppose I stepped over the line with that one.Hit me with that ruler please! whack whack whack, I apologize Isobel lovers.You can make fun of Stuarts all you want to balance it out.I won`t mind. But let me explain, you know how some people may look beautiful to you,but then you get to know them,and they have an ugly heart,and the aura makes them look bad too? Well,let me tell you a little story.Many moons ago,I was in Scotland with my father on a buisness trip.Now,I`m a little embarassed to say this,but I went Stuart Murdoch hunting..and yes,I did find him! (with Isobel) I`m terrible hideous shy dork though,so I couldn`t bring myself to talk to him...my tongue felt heavy,my knees weak! so..I just followed him (yes,a stalker I know) through the forest,where I witnessed Struan`s Beautiful Heart...the little angel,do you know what he does?

Fluffy Sarah..I sense we will get beat up in the playground later today,prisoners of our beliefs,but dammit,the truth is out there. Also: Just because a female doesn`t like another female doesn`t mean they are jealous. Did any of you accuse Tim Hopkins of being jealous of that Gracie woman? If I`m going to be jealous of someone,it would be Natalie Portman,come on, grant me some dignity! No hard feelings eh chaps? the ruler again,alright. i do it to myself,i do. The reason Angry-Woman singers make me cringe is beacuse they perpetuate (is that the right word) their own stereotype, the whole Lilith Fair `I don`t shave my armpits therefore I am Woman` thing going on. It makes the good angry women to be lumped in with them. I prefer male voices anyways, I dunno..i just do..we all have our preferences you know.I like a nice female voice in the background though, the way Hefner do a lot of their songs. We are speaking current music here, I love the female dominated voices of Motown though. Prom is beautiful...it`s gorgeous..ahh...I swear it, you guys have your picnics,can you make a Sinister Ball or something? PLEASE? Warrander John can dress up up like James Bond. Men in tuxedos, Women in ball gowns...ohhhh..I wish I wish I could relive that night over again. Isn`t Time an awful thing. You spend months preparing for something,then in a few hours it`s all over.I guess since I never get to be a princess I savour those moments that slip through your fingers! Ahhh,the best was getting there...I was late so my mom had to floor it to the city,and the horse-and-wagon had left without me,so hitching up my skirt, overstuffed purse and camera in hand I ran down the street and took a flying leap onto the wagon,but I made it!! geeky slow dance moments? bien oui! Bryan Adams and Lady In Red aplenty (ha ha..i was wearing red too) Dressing up is too much fun. mmmmmm... heavenly sigh of remembrance Lots Of Love, Mean Nasty Prom Girl ********************************************************************** www.droolz.ukf.net You Know It`s The Right Thing To Do, They Make You Feel Alright ********************************************************************** ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: it's educational.
by Sean de Vega 27 Jun '99

hello my dear morsels of sinister, it's been weeks since i've been able to post anything, so here you are. i bought the gentle waves disc, and *must* side with the vehemently pro-bel side of the house. "tree lullaby" and "emanuelle, skating on thin ice" are positively lovely, and "evensong" is just the greatest waker-upper tune ever to alight upon human ears. well, last night i went to the "university of houston honors college fall semester kick-off party and farewell to the old academic advisor", where i did behold such wonderful atrocities as keg stands and the beastie boys being cranked to a loud, shrieking and booming din. it's amazing how people approach you when you're dressed in khaki and plaid. funny, four years ago, when i wore vintage stuff, i'd have never been afforded the opportunity to be that much of a social butterfly. i met lots of people, including one guy who wants to, get this, quit school and join ... the marines (!) he's doing fine, he just "wants to fight". he is a rather big and angry bloke, and speaks in staccato puffs of hot air. nice chap, though, for all that... well, i'll sign off now. off to eat alsatian food with the maternal one! sean! _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!
