don't tell me the time

Don't tell me the time you spend with her. Because I am here. Pining in a suit. With a neon clock. For you. Will you bring back some Twizzlers when you get home? Thanks.

Oh, christ! You hit me right in my 1980's androgynous soft spot!
Give me a moment.
I'm almost better.
(I think I wore that outfit more than once myself?)
Just a second.
Almost.
And it's 2010 and I'm not 27 any more.

Forget the neon clock; I'm morbidly fascinated with the neon base trim. I know it was the 80s, but even the most coked-up queen of an interior decorator would've been all, "Oh, honey, no." Like, you're kind of restricted to never being able to rearrange your furniture.

omg, thanks for that! I *love* Martha Davis! I'm fondling my Policy album right now (yes, VINYL LP! lol). Must get onto iPod ...

There are four problems here.

1. Seems to me like it's not all that hard to find out the time. Especially not when you have a clock just next to you and a watch on your hand.
2. Have you seen those hands. Talk about yeast infection waiting to happen.
3. It's only eight minutes past eleven. That's quite early really.
4. I dunno how short she is, but she really needs to get those trousers taken up/in.

Also, I'm glad that guitar stepped in, because I was getting gender confused there for a minute. Mind you, I have a bit of a hairy tummy button landing patch too (wait, does anyone actually land there?).

Just goes to show, total control was a mistake. Not the song, the selling of soul for it.

Sandy, my darling, I think you need some time with your ladyfriend.

Did you run home and dress up in a suit? :)

I remember seeing this when it first came out...I was in some gay bar, in Jersey somewhere, and was absolutely MESMERIZED.

Hahahahaha! Oh, you have no idea what style atrocities were committed in the 80s.

Vinyl! You are old school, homes. :)

I was listening to some Motels yesterday & thought, "I wonder if I can find that Martha Davis video that so enthralled me when I was but a wee baby dyke"...and lo! The internets come through again.

Not quite sure what you're on about, but it sure sounds good. :)

I loved Martha with The Motels too.

Oh, I should have guessed!

According to Wikipedia "Total Control" was a bigger hit in Australia than anywhere else. Also, I friended Martha Davis on Facebook.

Lucky you! I'm glad Martha is still out there performing.
