Rihanna’s S&M Music Video & The Futuristic Feminist

1 Comment
Rihanna's music video for S&M hit the web today, and I have to say, for someone, who's not a huge RiRi fan, I am really diggin' this jam. And by dig I mean I've already watched the video at least a dozen times, hoping that the replays of the kinktastic video wouldn't deter my coworkers from being my friends! This video is hot, it was shot by Melina Matsoukas, who also directed Rihanna's Rude Boy video. This chorus just melts me,
Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it Sticks and stones may break my bones But chains and whips excite me
The music video depicts Rihanna, in all sorts of colorful getups, involved in a sadomasochistic relationship with the media. And as in any good S&M relationship, the couple that is Rihanna and the media hounds switch up the role play; in one scene, Rihanna is bound in cellophane at a press conference, in the next she's taking her gagged pet, blogger Perez Hilton, out for a walk. In an interview with MTV's Sway, Rihanna talks about her the song and says it's not about sex, it's a metaphor. From the looks of her video I'm assuming she's calling the relationship between celebrity and media sadomasochistic. She describes the song as rebellious, in-your-face, and unapologetic, and that is exactly how I would describe The Futuristic Feminist. [vodpod id=Video.5484919&w=425&h=350&fv=] What is the Futuristic Feminist? I'm glad you asked! The Futuristic Feminist, is a a trend, a new wave of female artist (mostly scene in popular music) that is overly sexual, ostentatious, witty, shocking and statement making. We've seen this trend is several female artists; Lady Gaga is probably the most direct in her approach, Nicki Minaj introduced the Hip Hop community into the future, Christina Aguilera tried to with Bionic (but she's too old), even Ke$ha (with her We R Who We R music video) and Katy Perry (with her California Gurls style) have dabbled in Futuristic Feminism. As we continue along the path of technology = life, we see this idea reflected in the styling of popular artists. We believe we are in the future, so the Futuristic Feminist styles herself as she would envision her futuristic form. Part feminist, part robot, she uses her sexuality as a means to gain attention for her cause; she is the literal definition of a Fembot. No doubt, this trend will continue, and I'm not going to talk about who started it (I know all the Little Monsters out there will swear it was Lady Gaga) but there were innovative female artists before her and there will be innovative female artists after her. The important thing is that these female artists will continue to try and one-up one another, which is really just a great thing for everybody. The drooling sperm-producers of the world will get to stare with open mouths and trousers at the hotness that is the Futuristic Feminist, and she'll get to subtly implant her message across the globe! I love it when we're sneaky! This video is so gorgeous, of course it would have it's own gallery!

Best Of RadCooks 2010

Leave a comment
What a year it's been! 2010 was Radioactive Cookies' inaugural year and I think we did a pretty great job! Since it's inception on February 24, 2010, RadCooks has received almost 30,000 hits and I couldn't be happier! In honor of the New Year, we of course need to recap all the amazingness of 2010. So here's a best of list that'll make you laugh, cry and probably cringe. 5 Most Visited Posts 1. PHAT GIRLS: 25 Hot Full Figured Women In Hollywood: All you skinny bitches can move aside because 2010 was the year of the big girl! As a proud curvaceous woman myself, I am so happy that the chubby chasers of the world have made Phat Girls my #1 most visited post the year! 2. RadFem To Watch: Jaclyn Santos: Thanks to a Tweet from the RedFem herself, Jaclyn Santos, this post received 2nd honors! Thanks Jaclyn, we hope to see more of you in 2010! 3. HAPPY MILF DAY: 40 Hot Hollywood Moms: Mother's Day 2010 was my busiest day of the year. With the most posts I've ever done, I also received the most viewership. Shame on you all for reading my glob instead of spending quality time with your mommy! 4. THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE: A Look At Ass-To-Mouth Surgery: The Human Centipede, what can I say? Those of you that read this post along with honorable mention THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE Review I just want to let you know that you are all very sick and you are not alone! 5. VAJAZZLE With A "J" & VAGAZZLED aka Swarovski Pubes: Let's not forget my Vajazzled posts! The pair, tied for 5th place were some of my very first posts! Though I can't take all the credit, I have to give a shout out to Bryce Gruber who took one for the team and had her lady garden bedazzeled on camera! MissBleecker's Top 5 Posts 1. KATY PERRY: The Ironic Feminist: Who could forget my massive and incredibly late Katy Perry post? Not only was this one of my most extensive posts but it was also one of the funnest. Let's not forget it introduced Prof.PurplePants! 2. CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S "NOT MYSELF TONIGHT": A Lesson In Radical Feminism: One of my top rated posts, NMT was a great song that I felt was seriously underrated. And of course, I'll always have a spot in my heart and on my glob for my #1 girl Christina Aguilera! 3. AUTO-FELLATIO: Sampling Your Own Pancakes: Oh auto-fellatio, you almost made it into the top 5! What can I say, it was a simpler time when I could write about a man pleasuring himself orally, though I have heard of a slight demand for an autolingus post... 4. The No Makeup Week Series: A great week of my life was spent au natural for you good people. It was a really great experience and hopefully the first of more to come in personal experiments! 5.

With three volumes down, I hope to keep you updated on the awfully bad attempts made at yours truly. 2. The 2010 Oscar Predictions and Outcomes Posts: I really cannot believe that there were so few readers of my 2010 Oscar posts. Not only did I predict nearly all the winners (yeah, you could have cleaned up in your office pool) but I analyzed the Oscars through a feminist and political lens. Let's not have the same fate for Oscar Watch 2011! 3. MissBleecker Goes To Washington: I was on a bus for 10 hours in one day, I missed all of my friends, I wore cookies on my breasts, and I came home to keep the party going for Halloween as Ke$ha and you still didn't read my post?! 4. The Theory of Sexual Economics Pt. 1 & Pt. 2: I have to admit these posts were a bit off collar for RadCooks but interesting nonetheless. Check them out to see what personality type is your best match according to me! 5. “THE RUNAWAYS” REVIEW: Men, You Can’t Stomach This Kind Of Gore: Now I will admit, having seen The Runaways, it was not the best movie of the year, it wasn't the worst either. It just didn't get much recognition either way, as my review did. However, I attended a screening with Joan Jett and she had some insider scoop that any rock 'n roller would love to read! Well there you have it, the Best Of RadCooks Lists 2010! I hope you all had a great year! I can't wait for 2011, I'm sure it'll be as disastrous a year in pop culture as 2010 was!

S Club 7 Member Comes Out
If someone had said ’are you gay?’ I would have said yes, but no-one ever did. I’ve never felt the need to leap out of the closet singing and dancing about it. I’ve always known I was gay, from a very young age.

BURLESQUE aka Showgirls 2

2 Comments
Academy Members, get your Oscar ballots ready, because Burlesque is going to hit the big screens on November 24! The trailer premiered yesterday, and in the fashionably late scene (of which I am now a part, because, you know, I have more important shit to do than blog all day long) I am posting about this now! Side Note: I know I promised a Katy Perry Retrospective last weekend... that was a lie. But do expect it soon. I'm not going to say when, for fear of lying again and then having some crazed reader (show of hands for all the sane people who read RadCooks) show up in the morning, hovering over my futon begging me to stay in, not shower and write, just for them. So instead of having the possibility of that happen, I'm going to leave you guessing... but don't worry, you'll know it when it comes! Anyway... The Burlesque casting director went to Heaven and picked the brightest stars for the film. Who you ask? Well... Veronica Mars, evil man-vampire from Twilight, the child rapist/murderer from Lovely Bones, Emcee, McSteamy, Eyebrows, some blonde-ho from DWTS, Cher (is there any other name for her?), and RadCook's original RadFem, Lady Marmalade herself! Burlesque, like the Kla$$ act that came before it, Showgirls, tells the tale of a bright-eyed, cutey from a small town, who buys a one-way ticket to LA, hoping to make it big as a dancer! But Cher, the casting director for the burlesque club where Aguilera waitresses (sad face emoticon), is like, "Listen bitch, there's only room in this movie for one diva... and my wigs need your dressing room!" But then Christina's like, "Eat this! Whooooaaaaahhh-eeeeee-ooooooohhh!" And then everybody's like, "Damn she can sing! She's almost as good as that old ass pop singer. What was her name again? Where the hell is she? Oh right, she's starring in this shitty movie!" Love you Christina! You can get back on top, but just like Michael Jordan wasn't cut out for baseball... do I need to finish the analogy?

RadFem Of The Week: Christina Aguilera

Leave a comment
This is something I've been wanting to do for a little while and thanks to the great traffic on my last Christina Aguilera post, I'm introducing a new series to the RadCooks Glob! Every week I'll go through posts, history and news and pick a Radical (or radioactive) Feminist and crown them RadFem of the Week! Name: Christina Maria Aguilera Alias: X-Tina, Chrissy, Baby Jane, Candy Birthday: December 18, 1980 Claim to Fame: A little diddy called Genie in a Bottle. RadFem Worthy: With songs like, Fighter, Can't Hold Us Down and now Not Myself Tonight, Aguilera empowers women through music while reminding them that they can still be sexy women! Fun Fact: Bitch was so talented when she was little other kids would withdraw when they heard they'd be up against her talented ass. The backlash continued with vandalism to her family's house and Christina getting attacked in gym class. The family had to move and keep Christina's golden pipes a secret. Damn bitches are crazy in the suburbs! Here's baby Christina belting it.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA’S “NOT MYSELF TONIGHT”: A Lesson In Radical Feminism

3 Comments
Cover art for Aguilera's upcoming album, Bionic.
Okay kids this is an educational post so Miss Bleecker is going to use her impending college degree to do a super, special, fancy post. Get ready to get schooled! Smarty pants language starting in... 3... 2... There is a strongly held belief that to be a radical feminist one must contradict all traditional aspects of feminitiy. In the Bleecker's opinion, the strongest feminist embraces her femininity. If you know mah homegirl Christina Aguilera, you know she feels the same way. There's been a lot of controversy surrounding the release of Christina Aguilera's latest music video, Not Myself Tonight. The main arguments involving the video are: that Aguilera is selling her sexuality for shock value and that Aguilera is copying other female artists. Both of these statements are true, but not for the reasons the online media explains them to be. Introduction: Aguilera's Feminist Manifesto Chapter 1: Aguilera's Music Video Anthology Chapter 2: Analysis Of The Not Myself Tonight Lyrics Chapter 3: Madonna: Holding Out vs. Putting Out Chapter 4: Freedom 90: Musical Bondage & Breaking Free Chapter 5: Sex and the City: When Is Sexuality Acceptable? Chapter 6: Beyonce: Getting Out Of Relationships Chapter 7: Lady Gaga: The Line Between Benefits & Heartbreak Conclusion: Getting The Mixed Message If you haven't seen the video don't even bother reading this post. But you really should watch the video. Probably the uncensored version too.

Christina Aguilera Releases First Music Video In 47 Years

Leave a comment
It's been a while, hasn't it? Christina Aguilera released her latest single off her new album, Bionic, it's called "Not Myself Tonight" and it tells the story of a young girl, trying to make it in the big city, so she goes out for the night, gets drunk and soon is overcome by the powerful urge to dance and wear rhinestone encrusted gag pieces. Fortunately the song seems to imply that she returnes to her normal self in the morning, after all nothing is Klassier than a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets... and product placement. The video is a mish-mosh of Madonna, Lady Gaga, Single Ladies, Sex and the City, and an all drag revue. Here's a gallery of stills from the video!
