Pole-Dancing Tee: Billy Elliot Lives!

SimchaJune 2, 2008 //

Pole dancing is all the rage with suburban housewives or as we like to call them, “Stellas gettin’ their groove back.” But America isn’t the only pole-lovin’ motherland; the U.K.’s got a case of stripper fever too. Although earlier in the season, a 40-year-old mom slid down Britain’s Got More Talent, but her skills don’t even compare to the technique of the living Billy Elliot. After lifting himself up out of the ghetto and up onto the side of a street lamp pole, the 14-year-old boy break-danced his way to the top. Last season, he was told he wasn’t good enough, but George “Comeback Kid” Sampson picked himself up and practiced to make it perfect.

    An Open Letter To American Idol

    Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 20, 2008 //

    Dear Randy, Paula, and Simon,
    Seriously, how dumb are you guys to give up on Josiah Leming, a guy who actually writes his own (amazing) songs, sings Mika’s “Grace Kelly” as an audition song, has the adorable look that teens (and, um, women) will go crazy for, and has a voice that channels some of the most popular bands making money today? And you actually let through that kid with the hair-band highlights? Out. Of. Touch.
    Love,
    The Frisky
