The latest in the department of Sex Sells comes from Russia with a group called: T.A.T.U.

Excuse me? None too eager? They are topping the charts EVERYWHERE! What’s not to like about teenage schoolgirl lesbian singers in a cage? I only wish I’d thought of it first…
Their music is actually pretty good. I’m getting the CD next week, I hope. 🙂
t.A.T.u. has been around for a while now…America is just now noticing them.
Isn’t that the way things always are?
Yep

Ameria catches up on pop-culture
Yes, if we don’t generate it, we tend not to popularize it until someone in the country figures out how to make money out of it. Thus my enjoyment of foreign media sources 🙂
I saw them on Leno.. They started making out and the camera guy panned to the guitarist and stayed there till they decided to come up for air ;).. Just seems like a publicity thing to me.. The entire video.. Girls in school girl uniforms.. in the rain.. and making out.. hmmm.. subtle.
