If You're Feeling Sinister...

...Just run to the nearest video place and rent this movie!!! It's magical and I assure you it's fifteen hundred times better than prozac or any other drug you may ever find. It's like good booze, it gets you drunk but never sick.

It has everything: Jazz, Tango, mouth-dropping dance routines, clever humor, bitter sarchasm, showbiz self-depreciation, dumb shallow press, political critics - all them mixed with the best politically incorrect lines -, the corrupt lawyer and prision guard, the brunnette femme fatale and the witty falsely ambitious blonde!!! All of them in one film!! Isn't it a blast? Ohh... the name of it? C'mon, don't tell me you still don't know it!! Duuh... it's CHICAGO!!!!

Today ho and I were quoting Queen Latifah's genius musical number, When You're Good To Moma, and we realized how long we haven't seen Chicago. So I took the advice from the beginning of the post and got it. After I watched this cute film with brilliant Claire Danes and hot Billy Cudrop (Stage Beauty) I instantly put it on my DVD. This was the whatever-th time I watched it but everything felt fresh and exciting as if it was the very first time!!

My body hair bristled all over the Block Cell Tango (my favorite part) and the press conference scene; I came every time Latifah, Gere, Zeta-Jones and Zellweger were on screen (in other words: all the time); I laughed my ass off with all the puns and jokes. This time Roxie's numbers just blew me away more than before, especially the one they homage Monroe's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and I even loved the Mr. Cellophane number. And to top it all, right after it finished my dad wanted to watch... so I didn't resist and watched it all over again with him!! And had all the same sensations!! Uhg... it's perfect!!!

So motherfuckers, if you ever feel like trash like killing your insignificant drama-queened self, just watch Chicago and you'll feel as if life and Light had just knocked you over giving you happiness again, even if you never actually really felt that bad!!

[Song: Nowadays - Renée Zellweger]

Life is a mystery...

... lol, my post titles have been very Madonnized lately.

Anyways, the other day I was all crappy-mooded about college and friends and whatever but today I'm a bit better. Well, my friends are still boring even though I love them to death [what makes me the boring one], but today I had to bleed my brains to do a Brit Literature assignment and study for its exam. As I started my Googling on Irish poet Seamus Heaney my father's pc died with viruses. So while it was scanned I decided to not wast time and read stuff for the exam.

By the end of the day I wrote a quick but (imo) inspiring little essay about Heaney's poem "September Song" and managed to study most of the matters I was supposed to for the exam. When I read its first question and realized I could do it easily I had orgasms!! As I wrote more than ten lines for each question I reassured myself in my course and got a bit more optimist about it.

I still wanna desperately kiss someone, but I'm less bitter than yesterday! I love life!!

[Song: Dress You Up - Madonna]

Time Goes By So Slowly...

... for those without men!! LOL!!!

As I get bitter about my college and how annoyed about it I am, I get also awful news as the cherry of the top: Madonna ain't coming anymore. That evil whore!! But you see, I'm ok, 'cause since the beginning I decided to keep my two feet on the ground.

Putting Madonna aside, I'm excited about going to Bahia next weekend. The thing is [and I'm sorry to go drama-queening and being boring bitter again]: I'm bored of my friends!! (The flesh ones ho! Not the bytes ones like you!!)

It's all the same talk, the same laughs, the same... uhg!! I feel like knowing new people, connecting with new minds, hearing new and more exciting stories, instead of the next drama about the boyfriend that doesn't notice how pretty she is, or how many pages have I written for Brit Literature assignment.

Today, two of my friends were shit-chating after the English exam and they were telling these really funny anecdotes but those shallow smiles were all I could give. And I thought: what is wrong with me? Maybe it's because I often get this way at this time of the year. But maybe - and this is definintely the option - I'm just upset with the way I'm carrying my life: lazily around, postponing the things that would do me good or make changes.

"Lucas you stupid!! You want a man? Go out and get one!! Do what Kabbalah tells you to and stop sabotaging yourself like an Alanis Morissette angst Jagged Little Pill poem," says M. Alexander Dantas.

[Song: Forbidden Love - Madonna]

Kabbalah and Alcohol

When I read my "kabbalist weekly astrology" four days ago, it told me to go out on Friday no matter how much I felt like staying at home. So after being dumped by my friends that decided to sleep early on weekend eve even though they had nothing to do the other day [I at least have Spanish class], I made my family take me out.

A Sminorff Ice and a glass of Marguerita later there was tipsy me having high class and intelectual conversations, as always, with my father, laughing my ass off with Zenaide and my sister while we sang crappy Brazillian music between a sip and another, watching Sheryl Crowl's DVD that played on the bar and secretly drooling on the cute boys that passed by and giggling inside for the dubious fashionable girls with them.

By the end of the night, as I write, I think: kabbalists do it better!!

[Song: Message Personnel - Françoise Hardy]

SHE'LL COME!!!

OMG!! OMG!!! I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T EVEN TAKE THE CAPS LOCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT!! I'LL DIE!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M DYING!!!!!!!!!
I'M DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!

BRAZILLIAN PRESS HAS CONFIRMED: MADONNA IS COMING IN OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WILL I GO?!?!??!?! OF COURSE I WILL!! I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD AND HERE I AM!!!

BRAZIL, ARE YOU READY TO JUMP?!

[SONG: JUMP - MADONNA]

Movie Life

As nothing else interesting goes on in my life I sink myself in movies and French music.

Yay to the Ho I'm all into this French chick called Alizée: Moi... Lolita is my new favorite song. Along with her, the whole 8 Femmes soundtrack's been more than enough on my playlist. To listen to Isabelle Huppert singing Françoise Hardy's Message Personnel is like having a "duet" of g-ds, even though they don't sing together.

This weekend I also watched it again. Uhg, what is that movie? It's like having 8 orgasms in two hours. Everything about it is perfect, since the colors till of course the music!! And rewatching it made me see how flawless it is, every part of the plot fits perfectly and I haven't seen any holes so far. Every time it ends I feel like watching it again and again!!! Ludivine Sagnier makes me wanna dance cutly. Isabelle Huppert and Firminie Richard make me cry. Fanny Ardant is a goddess!! Virginie Ledoyen is beyond lovely!! Emmanuele Béart thrills me with her Madonna-esque performance. Catherine Deneuve makes me cum. And Danielle Darrieux final act makes me want more.

I finally watched La Marche de L'Empereur: the cutest movie about human beings without human beings. It's so tender how they humanized the little birds, but I think that my urge for romance didn't let me feel the romance of the movie. I just watched it as I would watch an everyday Discovery Channel show and probably lost its magic. I came with the cinematography though...

Errrm... what else? Well, I feel really bored and uninterested about everything lately. I'm horny as a dog but too chicken-shit to go out and get men. The only thing I REALLY wanna do is getting drunk. I think I'll just be at home organize my mp3 folders, have several glasses of wine and dream I'm Bree Van De Kamp.

[Song: Moi... Lolita - Alizee]

Je Suis Un Vampire

I shouldn't be all alarmed about this but I've realized I'm still the kind of person who has no decent personal (aka sex) life and live from the other's!! \o/ yaaaaay... how marvelous!!!

Here I am in front of my computer in a shiny, bright and dull holiday in Marilia when I should be reading something for school, or out bathing myself with the light. In addition all that makes me wanna leave the house is the perspective of going to the front supermarket and getting the highest fat chocolate ice cream I can find!!! \o/ Unfortunatelly my dad doesn't have money to give me. u_u

So, since I don't have "personal" life I live from my friends'!! Last night I went out to celebrate my driver license that I finally got!!! Nathalia, Juliana and Filipe went with me and it was a cute night. I fell in love with the waiter and came everytime he passed us by. But all very stupidly discreet and only Nathalia was aware. u_u

Then today, as I enjoyed my boredom Nathalia logs on the MSN and OH MY G-D!!! She started braging about what happened in the party she went after she left us last night. This thin but hot guy took her from the waistline, threw her against the wall and gave her this motherfucking hot kiss!! And they hooked up the whole night and made out and uhg... I had orgasms as she told!!! Especially on the part she said she had her hand into his pockets ALL THE TIME"!!!! Ö

That's why I came to the conclusion that the highlights of my life are the highlights of my friends' lives!!! \o/ Yaaaaaay...

Is my life lame?
Yeaaaah!!!
Am I desperate about it?
Noooooooooooo!!!! \o/

*no sarchasm this time*

[Song: Papa T'es Plus Dans L'coup - Ludivine Sagnier]

BORED AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!

My life's a bore lately! I'll get drunk and smoke pot to see what happens.

[Song: A Perfect Sonnet - Bright Eyes]

Je vous présente...

... Monsier Alexander Dantas (aka M. DeLarge).

Il est en partie français en partie russe en partie brésilien et un poète. Il aime soi-même violence particulièrement quand l'amour est à l'intérieur. Sa poèmes sont agressifs mais principalement sarcastiques si vous regardez soigneusement. Il déteste l'amour et sentimentalisme mais il ne peut pas éviter d'écrire submergé dans tels sentiments. Il hait aussi les français mais aime leur langue, parce qu'il est toujours en ecrivant et en parlant le français. Mais je sais que il va me tuer pour vous dire son secret. Alexander adore aussi le Nadsat, son argot.

---------------------------------------

Alanis once talked about the falacy of writing only when depression mode is on. Well, I agree with her, but I'm sure that the best poems are produced when that mode is on. Here I am trying to get over someone but in the meantime I've been writing these cool pieces of verses and stanzas. Actually not me, my alter-ego M. Alexander Dantas.

He's so cool that I don't feel like healing anymore!!! lol... Just kidding guys! For those who didn't understand a shit about the M. DeLarge's introduction, I'll translate it to English... someday.

For now, I'll post one of his poems, Letting Go Crap:

What is this fear of letting go?
What is this hesitation?
I feel ashamed to admit that
I still feel the same
So, when will I jump
And face the unknown
Embrace the untold
And kiss the unfolded
My sisters and me have said
We'd be able to deal with everything
I guess we never counted heartbreak
Here I go once again
Drama-queening once again
That's my job
That's my life
Yuck… I gotta move the line
Adios amigo…

erotica_you_thrill_me__confessions_tour_studio_version_.html

Here's the link to dld Erotica's remix dear. I cut it in two so it wouldn't spoil the layout of the blog, but copy the parts and past them all in one line on a browser and then scroll down, dld it and have fun! \o/ Be prepared to become an additced! ^^

This post is for lovely Marcela ok, if you all the rest wanna know about my lame life read bellow.

Where Does The Good Go?

Uhg, why's it so hard to let go? I mean, probably it's not a bit hard but we're all so drenched in our dramas that we amplify the shit making it too important to be let go. It's even worst when you know you must let go and you prefer not to, and spill out that famous and stupid line: "I don't know how".

Last night I had a dream and today I woke up thinking about HIM, worst: daydreaming. And there goes my heartbeat racing, my brain trying to figure out a way of stop feeling that way. I'm sorry, but I can't help hoping he'll SMS me saying things didn't work out with that other dude and that he's willing to try me. You know, I have no pride and am so ego-free...

Perhaps, however, if I stop trying to figure out a way of quitting such ideas and letting them be, one day I'll wake up and notice that I didn't have any of them in the previous day.

Soooooooooooooooo... changing the subjet to a more pleasant mood: OHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY G------------------D!!!!! It feels so good to be hung up on something you usually love but in a different and reinvented way!!! Madonna's tour is out right? And one of the things that were exciting me the most was the new version of Erotica as I posted the other day. I finally got the studio version of the remix. OMG it's genius!! Jose and I listened to it all day long yesterday and every Madge fan that was on my MSN list was doing it too. Except this stupid bump that insisted she lip-synched it on the tour so I had to block him ok! u.u

I'm still addicted to it but I finally let it go for a while. lol

[Song: Don't Hang Up - Britney Spears... phoned-sex! uhhh luv it! hehehe]

She Thrills Me

First of all I'm ok!!!

All the drama of being dumped still remains but in a less proportion than days before. I just gotta let ok... just let go bitch!!

So, the thing that makes me come here to post is the delicious performance of Madonna's Erotica on her Confessions Tour.

*turns janice voice on*

OHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY G--------------------------D!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who ever thought that the mysteriously haunting Erotica would turn into a fun, luminous and bright song? Its live disco version is beyond amazing, along with the sassy and cute routine plus the fact that it's totally LIVE!! (Who watched the Girlie Show knows why it's so thrilling.) Besides, instead of singing the originally released lyrics, it goes with the demo version's, You Thrill Me.

If you wanna see it, go here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRTSJ5bKogE

It's only 2 minutes, but the smile she gives to the camera in the begining makes you melt and wanting to see it again, again, again and again. ^^

MADONNA ROCKS MY WORLD!!

[Song: EROTICA - MADONNA... duuuuuh!!]

PS: Mr Anonymous, I love the fact that I have a stalker now. Makes my ego feel special ok. But I'm more curious than egocentric (uhg... this was egocentric... lol), so tell me who you are motherfucker!!!! A tip at least s'il vous plaît!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^^

The Closure

Well, after the big drama from the last 3 weeks I finally had the closure I was anticipating.

It was simple...

It was harsh...

It was refreshing...

Lucas now really feels he has to move on... and the faster the better. Even though boyish smiles insist to creep in.

Slutty comment of the morning: *imitates Norma Desmond* Uhg, where will I ever find such perfect dick?!

[Song: Say Hey - Kylie Minogue]

I don't feel like posting...

... so why do I post?

Maybe because I just need to let it written, to myself at least, that moving on is the best key. Closure won't happen if you don't open your heart carefully and try to see things without your pain and the drama created after that.

To be unsensitive is not the way to go, but to cease the drama is a duty.

Just call him and show the cards...

When?

I don't know, some time this week...

PS: At least I have Madonna to cheer me up. Confessions Tour kicked off and after seeing pictures and bootleg videos I already forgave her for not touring on South America.

[Song: Live To Tell - G-d]

Drunk

One moment you walk into my life, and now you're saying that we're through.

Maybe this is the drama-queenest line to begin a post with, but try to mix wine with heartache and you'll end up like moi. The bad part is that if you stop to analyze there was neevr something to be broken. Everything was so fresh and new and I (again) started to build myself on projections and suppositions from my long-time drunk mind. And the even worst part is that actually nothing is over. Nobody officially has dumped me or led me on. I'm still lost in limbo and that's all my fault.

I hate to write it, because I hate to addmit that I'm heartobroken over something that never really happened and still I insist to feel this way until I have a closure. But what the fuck is a closure? What if I had closure and preferred to carry on with this feeling that's slowing me? Well, I guess I'll be this way until I hear a word from him, who doesn't sound to be caring so much. Uhg, how do you miss someone you just met three times in your life?

[Song: Put Yourself In My Place - Kylie Minogue]

Just My Luck

The other day I had to fix Jose's blog, but I had the greatest fun while reading the latest post with this iPod game. Well, I may not be as fancy as that bitch I love but I decided to do the same game with my mp3 player and here are the results:

1. How does the world see you?

"One More Time" by Daft Punk

Ohh… a real surprise!........ Actually not that much, I’ve already heard from people I’m all upbeat and ready to “celebrate”. Maybe I really am, even through my dark times.

2. Will I have a happy life?

UHG!! My mp3 player just died!!!!!!!! Can you believe that? I’m doomed! OMG!! It must mean……………… Jesus! I mean… LOL!!! Spooky!! Well… lemme restart it.

2nd attempt: “Only One Too” by Jewel

Yaaay!! It means I’ll spend my life chasing after boys who don’t want me!! AWESOME!! \o/ My mp3 player dies and then this!
But seeing from another point of view: this song is from Jewel’s newest album, Goodbye Alice In Wonderland, which I firstly rejected badly and now I love it, and this is one of my favorite songs. I love the power of renewal.

3. What do my friends think of me?

“Angels” by Robbie Williams

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww… I mean, I NEVER listen to this song and today out of nowhere I decided to add it on the thing. That’s really sweet.

4. Do people secretly lust after me?

“Time Will Pass You By” by Kylie Minogue

OMG!! Look at this:

"Life is just a precious minute baby
Open up your eyes and see it baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you
Right on by (right on by)"

Yeah Jaú Boy!! You better hurry up ‘cause I’m not hoping to be thinking about you all my life! LOL! Okay, that was corny, but I LOVE this song!

5. How can I make myself happy?

“Maneater” by Nelly Furtado

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! That’s why I’m always telling people life is much better and funnier when we are careless SLUTS!! My new motto:

"Come on everybody whatchu here for?
Move your body around like a nympho”

7. Will I ever have children?

Boo hoo… it died again!! Prolly means I won’t …… Well, lemme do it again.

2nd attempt: “So Nice (Summer Samba)” by Bebel Gilberto

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm… okay! Well, this song was in the soundtrack from an old Brazilian soap opera. In the end of EVERY Brazilian soap opera there’s always a kid popping out a woman, it probably means I will have them then.

8. What is some good advice for me?

“Don’t Stop (Funkin’ For Jamaica)” by Mariah Carey featuring Mystical

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

“There ain't nothing you can do with the man
Except for shake yo ass and clap yo hands”

Maybe that’s my advice…………………… u.u

9. How will I be remembered?

“Sorry (Pet Shop Boys Remix)” by Madonna

Ohh… first time in my life that this song doesn’t sound good to me.
Boo… who cares? I’ll live my life and dance to it cos the beat is genius! \o/

10. What's my signature dance song?

“Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles” by Françoise Hardy

I LOVE this song! But wasn’t honestly expecting it to be my dance song. Well, the weird part is that a slow song also came to Jose. Awww… we’re twins hosinho!

11. What's my current theme song?

“Hung Up” by Madonna

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BITCH!!! So fucking true!! And I’m so fucking dancing right noooow… brb……………………
Well, back from my performance to the walls of my bedroom. Well people, time does go by SO slowly for those who wait. Through the last 2 weeks, I’ve waited the phone to ring, I’ve waited it to be picked up, I’ve waited the days to fly by………… damn, get over Lucas!

12. What do others think my current theme song is?

“My Innocence” by Lindsay Lohan

“I was born a fighter
I was born on a rainy day
I've had my share of pain”

Hmm… kind of unexpected. Maybe people think I’m that celebration guy from the first question but deep down inside I hide some kind of disappointment. Yeah, maybe on the Academy for giving Crash the Oscar, or even Brokeback Mountain not being as marvelous as everybody pictured it! Lol…kidding, just drama-queening… but whatever then.

13. What shall they play at my funeral?

“Low” by Kelly Clarkson

Ewww! I love the song and I love Clarkson, but I don’t want this song to be played at my funeral!! Maybe in a parallel universe fate selected “Into The Groove” or “Holiday” instead of it.

14. What type of men do I like?

“Koocachoo” by Kylie Minogue

YEEEEEEEEEES!! So true!!

“Even at night when I'm sleeping
You are all I'm ever dreaming of”

Well, that’s exactly what’s going on lately… u.u

"Do we hate romance? Yeaaaahhh.........

Can we live without it? Nooooooooo........."

\o/

Before I start my periodic whining I learned last week that I have another reader. Hehehehe... Marcela is friend of my Hosinho and she finally commented on the last post. Yaaaaay! I already love her, even not knowing her! ^^ Thanks Marcela, you rock! I hope you'll warm my blog's cold nights when that evil ho go back to San Jose and desert me.

Anyways, today I watched How To Steal A Million (1966); don't need to say how marvelous my dear Audrey was with her Givenchy suits and charming acting. And Peter O'Tootle with his charming and dangerously mesmerizing blue eyes just took my breath away during 123 minutes. But the meaning of this Classic movie raving is that I never get tired of how they are able to conquer and make us melt with its romantic plots and beautiful locations. I mean, how can you resist Audrey Hepburn tucked in a museum brooms' cupboard?

While eveything is just too flat and cliché, those filmmakers absolutely knew how to make us believe in the powers of romance and casuality. When it's over you end up wishing an art burglar in your household as well, instead of cold and distant replies on a phone call you waited a whole week to make!! u.u

Last night I called this guy I'm into and guess what... I think I'll have to propose myself to get over, again, from something that never actually started... except of course in my romantic alcoholic drunk mind that was already daydreaming situations and *shrugs* making plans.

So, by knowing that I had just watched a Hepburn romantic comedy and now I'm listening to the brokenhearted-drama queen combo, Kylie Minogue's Put Yourself In My Place + Dangerous Game, you can figure how's my actual mood.

Well kiddos... that's all for now... au revoir...

[Song(s): The Brokenhearted/Drama Queen Combo]

Mistakes I'm allowed to make...

1 - Be wrong;

2 - To fall in love with known strangers;

3 - To be desperately wanting to call, SMS, email, scrap or what-the-fuck-ever modern technology allows me to do;

4 - To control myself for the sake of self-protection or any other name used to disguise ego;

5 - To feel like investing when the stakes seem high and the possibility to lose is dang real;

6 - To daydream...........................................

But you know, I'm not gonna let myself be broken. The best way of fixing previous holes is living today and filling the present baskets with Light. I'm done with my ego ways! If people want to lose their passwords to happiness due to so-called self-protection that's their call. I prefer to do it differently, doesn't matter if it'll make me vulnerable... after all, who's not vulnerable?

That's why I'll try until I know and feel I've done my best. I don't want and won't be a quitter.

[Song: Satellite - Jewel]

[Quit Session: The Pope can't fix my broken heart/ Rock 'n' Roll can't fix my broken heart/ Valium can't fix my broken heart/ Miss Cleo can'tfix my broken heart/ But will you............/ Fix my broken heart/ Will you fix my broken heart/ And I'm gonna give you/ Satellite/ Satellite tonight!!]

It's a question of obession! Isn't it?

It's just start and it already sucks!!!!

First, I'm sick!! I got a cold.

Second, who was supposed to call didn't call. So, I called, right? After all a 6 days is enough to show you care but not that much... or that you're not obsessed. He's back in his town, that's okay. But since he's not gonna read this blog I don't need to pretend I'm not pissed about it. I even bought a thong!!!! hehehehehehe... kidding.

But taking from that, am I getting obsessed? Well, maybe I'm falling in love (which I still don't believe I am) or maybe I'm just letting things go. Truth to be told, I'm being careful and I like it. I no longer feel like a stupid teenager running about like a drunken fly. I'm absolutely not the stupid moth drowned to the light, only to find death when I touch it, and I really feel that ego is the pet now (uh Kabbalah + Therapy do work!!).

So when do I know I'm really falling?

Well... I guess I'll know when it happens, rite?

[Song: I Don't Need Anyone Kylie Minogue]

Go-Go Kylie!!

Kylie Minogue proved herself one of the greatest show-women of our times (mine at least) in 1998 with her Intimate and Live tour. In a two-hour concert that felt like a small live gig, Kylie sang amazingly (for those who say she can't sing), danced freely and crazilly (for those who only know the stiff moves from the Fever Era) and dazed the crowed with her charisma and charms.

But now, leaving the journalist affection behind, just let me say: WHAT A WOMAN!!! As I watched the DVD I could not be more stunned by her stage control in a show with a simple and intimate concept. Here there were not big screen projections, mesmerizing wardrobe or hot dancers. All the attention was focused on Kylie and her band, except in Dancing Queen, when the scary/queeny combo of dancers showed up for the first time with their hot pink peacock suits.

Since I&L was the tour for the Impossible Princess album, this show contains some of my favorite songs by Kylie. She starts off with self-deprecating Too Far. The song has an ironically organized stream-of-consciousness mood, filled with delusional thoughts and ravings. This set is visually simple (Minogue's wearing a neutral black wardrobe) but musically charming. Right after "Too Far" we meet a genius rock version of disco-anthem What Do I Have To Do? and my big-time favorite Some Kind Of Bliss. The set ends with the beautiful and haunting ballad Take Me With You, with its delicious percussions and addictive chorus, besides of being one of Kylie's best compositions.

Then I Should Be So Lucky is showed with a charming sepia cinematography that it kinds of shake away the fact that the song became dang boring with the new arrangement (piano+vocals). Then comes the queer dancers and "Dancing Queen". Dude, I'm definitely pro-gay, duuh I'm one of them myself and here I am raving on Kylie Minogue's work! But those guys were scary! The moves, the faces, the feathers... kind of disturbing, especially because for the first time audience's attention is taken from Kylie. But by the middle of the performance, all of that gets a jocose meaning, and their glances and stares become funny. Then we have my beloved Dangerous Game (dancers-less) pretty and simple, but I could not forget to comment.

Next set is initialized with genius Cowboy Style. Here again we meet the dancers stuck on weird and striptease-esque galoshes. This is the moment we note the Go-Go dancing mood of the show's choreography. "Cowboy Style" is followed by Step Back In Time which should be hailed as a masterpiece after the arrangement and dance-routine it got. Mixing Saturday Night Fever's 70's moves with the go-go knack this is the single moment the dancers become more easy to the eyes than spooky gay.

Free is a previously unreleased track and another Minogue jem, proof of her geniusness. The friendly synthesizer's chords starts off as she croons "It's night time/We're driving". Then, the music and the lyrics become bigger and bigger, faster and faster, as if a zoom-in is being given into her mind, until reaches the climax, with Kylie screaming my new motto "This is the feeling I want for always/Free".

Right after it, never giving us the time to recuperate from an extravaganza to another, she drops us Drunk. Another stream-of-consciousness track, she goes about being drunk on love with someone. But the best of it is the fact that the melody and the lyrics really transmits the idea of drunkenness. That raises Minogue as one of the most underrated songwriters of Pop Music. That theory is once again proved when later on she performs Limbo. How to describe "Limbo"? Especially this live version... Okay, firstly, the dancers are back here, but they're really invisible when we have a perky and saltatory Kylie waving and shaking her hair extensions combined with an attractive dark man beating his drum in one of the most involving percussion sets ever heard!!

After it the only worth mentioning performances are The Clash's Should I Stay Or Should I Go? when once again Kylie throws her hair and body, runs through the stage like in a marathon and still sings perfectly, leaving us all breathless just by watching. And then in the very finale the reprise of that year Australian Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras' perfomance of Better The Devil You Know, with the familiar dancing couple, plus more than a dozen hot men tucked in red zipped underwears and glittering devil horns adorning their heads. That's why this bitch is the queen of campy!! She makes it funny and glamourous!

The best thing about Minogue's Intimate And Live is that it proves a Pop Diva can still throw a show without the visual feast or big dramacity and it can be as enternaining and involving as it is simple. Kylie sings (LIVE!), dances, smiles, throws her hair and absolutelly amazes the watchers with her honest and charming performances. Even though the backstage footage is showed between the concert's tracks, it rarely breaks the mood and feelings of the sets. This show was also released in audio double-album, that contains all the concert's tracks and perfectly transfers the joy of the show without images. The woman can sing bitch!

[Song: Limbo Kylie Minogue]
