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.

another friend told me it was like Duran Duran or A-Ha.

*Blink* Er, no, neither Wham or A-Ha sprang to my mind either. The song was...sort of forgettable, really. Or maybe I was too distracted by The Pretty.

*g*

BTW, I see from your LJ that you're a student in Nottingham. You're not at Nottingham Uni (as opposed to Trent), are you? 'Cos if so, my comment about the Union still going on about Nestle resonates even more strongly... (why, yes, I am a Nottingham University graduate).

Oh yes, that's the one. Incidentally, the results of the vote just came back: The offical count was YES: 1304 / NO: 559 / SPOILS: 217.

But they didn't get the required 5000 voters. Ha ha!
