I'm watching Top of the Pops for the first time in...I don't how long, years, probably. Actually, it's more accurate to say that I can't be bothered to turn over the channel and ToTP is just on.

And I caught one of the latest British boy bands, called Phixx (who have come about as a result of a TV programme called 'Popstars: the Rivals'). So, totally manufactured, like all boybands come to that. But gosh, they're pretty.

The look is post-apocalyptic distressed, all (artfully) spiky hair, artistic tattoos and strategically ripped clothing. Song was called something like 'Hold Onto Me' and featured five (one for each band member, of course) gorgeous female doms adorned with PVC miniskirts, chains and whips.

So, I was quite enjoying the scenery (song was crap, but, really, who cares) when, whoa! Three of the doms ripped off their boys' t-shirts exposing really rather lovely and well-muscled chests. All of the boys were then wrapped in chains, and dragged backwards and chained to the doms' chairs.

All I can say is that the audience appeared to be enjoying it. I was too. Why weren't boybands like that in my day?

Oh yeah, Shane Ritchie (WTF!) has just come on and sung a 'Wham' song. Guess most of the audience are too young to remember the Wham boys singing the original with shuttlecocks stuffed down their shorts... Ah, happy memories.

*g* Oh I get the boybands=pretty. It's just that I like a bit of depth of character and experience together with the pretty. Boyband members are usually lacking in this for me, precisely because they're boys.

OTOH, when I read HP stuff I like Harry/Draco, and they're not exactly at the plucking out the grey hairs stage just yet.

I don't think of the corresponding female thing as being silly, in that it was obviously a bit of fun and just 'cos he's gay doesn't mean that he should be excluded from the whole dom/sub thing. *g*

Awww, I know a couple of boybands with depth, honest. And being young and pretty helps too.

lol you make a fair point, he shouldn't be excluded 'cause he's gay. Kind of exactly not the point really lol
