Do you want to touch? Yeah!!!

Sex sex sex. I’m afraid to admit it, but I am oddly and sexually attracted to Gary Glitter. Maybe not the real-world-child-molesting-Paul Francis Gadd, but the 1970s stage persona of Gary Glitter. He was so hot and scary, a sublime combination. He might as well be Lady Gaga’s dead-beat dad.

This song recently came to my attention when I re-watched The Runaways. It comes on when you first meet Dakota Fanning’s stage presence at an LA club, ”Pretending that you’re oh so shy”. The whole soundtrack was actually pretty fitting. I especially loved the use of the Stooges’ “I wanna be your dog” during the Cherie Currie and Joan Jett kissing scene. It was so stylized. loved it! I was actually really impressed with Kristen Stewart’s performance, while I was not-so-impressed by Dakota Fanning playing a really cracked-out-whore???

Anyway, this song is sex! And it’s when he asks the obvious, ‘do you want to touch’ that I’m with the whole crowd, and I’m like, oh well I’m going to hell, so “yeah!”

“Hello Daddy, Hello MAWM” …Cherry Bomb

Listen to Dakota Fanning–and Kristen Stewart, who has got her angst-act DOWN to the point of parody–do the Runaway’s “Cherry Bomb”. It’s for their new movie, also starring Alia Shawkat.

As I’ve been saying for a little while now, just not on here: I think Dakota Fanning is shaping up to be a sort of gay icon. She still has a little more work to do, but I am predicting it right now!! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!! She’s had her precious/precocious past, and is an actual respected actor last time I checked–and it’s been a WHILE since the last time I checked. I’ve always considered her to be like a fierce poodle/pitbull mix. You can see it in her teeth. And I loved her 5-seconds appearance in “New Moon”. Don’t want to use the word “fierce”, but I think I just did.

I love that Dakota Fanning is making the transition from child star to… a… teenage star. More sexualized, and a little more audacious. I love it when actors take the risks! Like when I heard Heath Ledger was going to play the Joker, I was like.. oh helllll no. But I remember seeing him in “Lords of Dogtown” and it was really good! And then he won that Oscar. And then he died! But not in that order. So I’m hoping “Runaways” is Dakota Fanning’s Lords of Dogtown moment. Because when I first heard she was taking on this role, I was like, oh nooooo.

Anyway, I think it was GENIUS move for her to be in the Twilight franchise, so I’m pretty excited for this career change. OH WHY do I even care about the career developments of these beautifully manufactured stars??? It just comes so natural to me!! To quote my one of my friends, “I am unabashed!”
