PERMANENT LIPSTCIK by Ginger Knoxx
It's Tuesday night. I'm past deadline (not uncommon) and am attempting to pull this particular piece of written entertainment out of my, ahem, diary between watching the Video Music Awards on MTV and Storm Large on tonight's episode of "Rock Star: Supernova." (She was kicked off last night.) It dawns on me that I have been sharing parts of my life and the lives of others (regrettably sometimes) with Weekly Volcano readers for a little over two years. In that time, many things have changed - that I can't write my column on time is not one of them. What I spew out each week for the lovely, patient Weekly Volcano editors is drawn from hungover, cranky, foggy memories. I try to get it right. If not, I hope at least I've been doing an admirable job of faking it. What I am baffled by is this - Beyoncé Knowles' performance on the VMAs was rehearsed, choreographed, planned, paid for, tested, airbrushed, (obviously) digitally altered, and still sounded and looked like crap. Truly baffling. Storm did a so-so performance of David Bowie's "Suffragette City" and then followed up with a chic friendly power rock anthem. Did anyone else notice how the fun bags were a bobbing? How about the quick lipsmack with brunette stunner Brooke Burke? Not a bad stint of television there.  Read the rest here.
