Old, old school!


This is a terrible video from the late 70's, you can blame the beauty company Lush for its apperance today. I was downtown when I came across 2 girls and a bunch of guys doing a choreographed routine to this song. At first I thought it was the worst flash mob ever, but it turns out it was promotion for a new shower gel call "it's raining men". I did get a full sized sample!


Now this is a much better version, but only because it's paying homage to 80's dance flicks. I do have to point out that the dancer at the begining is certainly not Geri Halliwell herself. Both of these videos actually show unhealthy extremes in body image. The original contains to ladies that are going to die young and have a lower quality of life due to the extent of their obesity. Geri Halliwell on the other hand looks disturbingly skinny, especially compared to her former weight. Besides the constant obsession it takes to maintain that kind of body on a person who's not natureally skinny, all sorts of problems come with being underweight. She also makes her self a complete FASO in this video.
