Sleater-Kinney : Get up
They like you! Well done, subtly kinky [a]Sleater-Kinney[/a]!
Susan Sontag once famously said American women are "the
third
sex". She might have added that American women who dress like Doris Day's mad sister, play itchy punk rock and sing like herniating hamsters are pan-sexual goddesses who should have great golden statues raised to them in every town square.
The crocs are all grinning and swaying slowly from side to side - the reptilian equivalent of waving lighters in the air. They like you! Well done, subtly kinky Sleater-Kinney!
