The Bootay Chronicles

–Batty Swan

I dunno? Maybe it’s because I have a British sensibility, maybe it’s because I watched far too much 'Fantasy Island' as a child, or maybe it’s just because I love beautiful things?  But I gotta tell ya; I think the Latina lady’s dance moves, in the video below, are a logistical blockbuster buttbuster. Not only that, I don't think there's anything smutty about her performance. It struck me, once I lifted my jaw off the floor, her leviathan-like derrière was/is/should be a cultural phenomenon. – Whack some bananas on her head and you’ve got yourself a 21st century Carmen Miranda, whack some bananas on her chest and you’ve got a perfect reason to share sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, and whack a banana in her mouth and you got yourself a kick-ass weight-loss programme. You gotta love culture, right?

Enjoy…



The first time I saw this vid, I cried with laughter. It was the shoes – she reminded me of a dressage pony. But, having watched the video a good fifteen times, I think she’s brilliant. She might be less 'Black Swan' and more Batty Swan, but I loves her. I wish I could get my batty-crease to do that. Truth is, I couldn’t get my bottom to be that pneumatic even if I lubed it up and sat on the washing machine during the spin cycle while blending 69 frozen bananas in a second-hand liquidiser and humming 'God Save the Queen'.

Oh well, never mind, I wonder if cankles will become the next big thing? Cos I tell you what, I’m well canklelicious. I can see it now…

…if you liked it then you shoulda forced an anklet on it

  6. @margg: The big cock thing confuses me even more! ((((♥))))

    @eccentricity: Ha! You're brilliant. I can't believe it - you sound so HUHMERICAN (hehehehehe). I luurrrrrrve Tracey Chapman. My goodness, you didn't have to do that. I smiled all the way through it. Thank you for sharing a song.

    Additionally, great to hear you might start utilising your blogger account. I tried to add you to my 'choice blogs' (located in the sidebar) the other day, but there was issues with Friendburst's feed. You belong in my 'choice blogs', girl.

    Talking of blogs, I was on yours yesterday and I have to say, I found the responses to your recent post dead interesting. I'll write my own post regarding the topic eventually, but kudos on the piece.

    Anyway, I gotta go. I'm gonna go and listen to my cover of Tracey Chapman again :P

  7. Really? I love Tracy Chapman, too--see? Now we finally have a musical taste in common besides that one Vampire Weekend song. lol! My partner saw her in concert a long time ago and by long time ago, she said Give Me One Reason had not yet been released and she sang it to the appreciative audience as "new" in the concert. Tracy's hot, too; put her right in the list with everyone I think is hot. ;-) <3 So I said to hunny while she was listening to my 'lil recording for you "If Tracy Chapman were standing in front of us right now, I'd tell her you sing her song better than she does." She shook her head and was like "Oh Lord...oh God" and I was like WHAT? I would! You know what she said and to me this goes down as an all-time best compliment "I'm shaking my head 'cause I KNOW you would." LMAO! (So if you got something that needs saying...I mean really? What can anyone do? heheh)

    Which one you like best Cheyelle? I have the cd's Matters of the Heart, Let it Rain, Where You Live, and something that came out just a couple years ago.

  8. Speaking of, how is it that Tracy never got properly outed yet? What's it been? Like 20+ odd years since her first album? All these years and no ex ever got that pissed? I mean I know the politically correct folks are like "None of your business!" but I'm a nosy American and I want to know if I'm fantasizing correctly when she shows up behind Eminem in my afternoon nap. lol!

    I've always liked her self-titled debut album 'Tracy Chapman', best. I tell you who I like even more than Tracy…Joan Armatrading. 'Love and Affection' is the izzle.

    Hehe, I wouldn't let Ms. Chapman's sexuality derail your fantasies. I've fantasised about many a gay man and a fair few drag queens, too. When it comes to fantasising - all bets are off! :-O

  10. Ima tell you a story about Tracy Chapman--I know, you're shocked I have one right? lol! It wasn't me personally--this was told to me and my partner by one of our gay guy friends when we were sitting around swapping San Francisco stories since we've all lived there at some point. What's funny about that is none of us knew each other when we lived their, even though our times overlapped.

    We got on the subject of Tracy Chapman somehow and our friend was all like OMG she is rude! Apparently he'd been working in a record store back in SF (I think it was Amoeba, but now I've forgot) and when they saw her shopping in there one day, he'd discreetly approached and asked her if she'd come in back and sign a poster; he said they would do that when they spotted a musician in the store, but never in a way that would make a scene. At that point she said "I'm not Tracy Chapman." I asked him "You think she was playing with you? Like did she smile?" He told me no, she said it in the slightly irritated tone of "Thanks for the flattery and all, but if you keep harassing me ima call the manager." lol! So, it was awkward and also he knew better.

    But, what could he do? So, she got up to the counter and paid with her own name bearing Amex card. lol! (That's kind of like "Fuck you but have a nice day")

    He said after that they used to play songs they felt would annoy her when she came in. I wondered what would annoy her and he was like "Oh you know, that one rap song that remixed Fast Car without her permission. That's about all we could come up with so we just played it every time." lmao!

  11. Ha! Hell hath no fury like a homo scorned.

    One of the things I noticed when I was a cigar girl at Cafe de Paris was: the bigger the “star” the better the manners. For example, Vivienne Westwood and Chaka Khan were lovely and yet many of the so-called “soap stars" were complete and utter wankers. But don't worry 'bout me though, I got the rude ones back – I put a little Cheyelle pee-pee on the heads of their Cohibas (AFTER I CLIPPED THEM). Nah, just joking, I never really did that (I’m sure you know where I got the idea from though). 8-/

  12. That's funny, because hunny met Chaka Khan as well, during the time she worked at this hotel in San Francisco and also said she was very friendly. :-)

    LOL @ where you wanna put pee--yeah I know where you got that idea but I was about to ask how you intended to get it on their cigar. lol! But...you already know whose girlfriend she was rumored to be, right? Tracy Chapman. Hunny even saw them together once when she was at a Sweet Honey in the Rock concert in the Bay Area. She said there was definitely a date-like vibe about the 2 of them.

    I never met ANYone famous. :-(
