While awaiting the results of the MRI of my lower back, I shall cheer myself up with the lovably likeable ladies of K3. The Belgian beauties must not be confused with the Hungarian band K3. I don’t know who had the name first, but I know who should stop using it.
Studio 100 has done very well with Free Souffriau as Mega Mindy, so it only makes sense they’d give Karen, Kristel and Kathleen a shot at playing superheroes.
… and here’s a featurette about the making of a K3 video. I don’t have to tell you that’s Kristel Verbeke on the left, Kathleen Aerts in the middle and Karen Damen on the right… do I?
(Does Karen have a tongue stud? Yikes! That’s hard core. Well, I guess I can deal with it.)
Being a fan of the Monkees — a topic I leave open for D.F. Rogers to indulge online someday — I’m intrigued by the idea that a Pop group can be assembled by audition, and achieve a synergy that’s as compelling as any ‘organically’ formed quartet or trio.
Because I don’t understand Flemish, I have to appreciate K3 for everything else they do well. Precisely because I don’t understand the words they’re almost abstract sounds, and they take on their own appealing quality.
K3 have been at this for ten years, and Kristel is married and has two children, yet they keep going, being silly into their 30’s. Perhaps that’s one of the benefits of being in Belgium, where their audience is relatively small, but loyal.
Note: I may have deleted a couple of comments by mistake when clearing out spam today. Keep in mind that if you post multiple comments in a row, the spam filter sometimes grabs one and I have to go fish it out of the pile. Today the pile has been very big, and if you’re not seeing a comment you wrote, I apologize.
My impression is that McCain gave it everything he had. He needed an opening round knockout, and didn’t get it. He had to resort to calling Obama naive. All Obama had to do in response was prove he knows his stuff, and he did that.
I think Obama held back and he gave McCain nothing that can be used against him in the next debate, but McCain provided plenty of ammo to his opponent. I predict Obama will hit harder next time and he will KO McCain.
Got back a while ago from my back’s MRI. Films won’t be read until Monday. I can’t keep up with everybody’s comments, other than to approve them, because I’m about to plop myself down in front of MSNBC and wait for the debate to start.
Here in Massachusetts there’s a test all high school kids have to pass in order to graduate. It’s called the MCAS, for Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System.
The final test is given in the 10th grade, so that kids who fail it have two more chances to pass. The results have just arrived in the mail, for the tests Eric took last spring, and he placed advanced in all three categories — Math, Science, and English! Needless to say we are very proud of him.
