the miley cyrus + brittany howard
& I'm gonna give you
MY TAKE
NOW
I'm gonna assume
TK doesn't know much about miley
I'm no expert
BUT
I DO know
she's KINDA into
OVER the TOP
RIGHT
BUT
I don't even think this was THAT
she's been playing around with
NONbinary
OR MAYBE now she's officially eNBIe
BUT
HOW I READ it
she was
PLAYING with GENDER
PLUS
SHE was trying to play
GENDER like
MUSICAL harmony
against brittany howard
I am not gonna say
it's my favorite
PERFORMANCE of hers
BUT
I thought
the HARNESS
of her
BODY
the angularity of her shoulders
the over the topness
of the dress
the makeup over the top
BUT
NOT
HIGH FEMME
NOT DRAG inspired
HARD WOMAN
& that slit in the body of the dress
ALMOST like a
WOUND
WHERE is the LINE
it seemed to say
BETWEEN
what you call feminine and masculine
SOMEWHERE in the HARDNESS
REFUSING to
CURVE
it was
AFTERALL
in the spirit of
SINADE who famously sang it
& the artist formerly known
as PRINCE
who wrote it
