World Famous In San Francisco

This post is follow up to our August post about vanity jams. The video for Kid Sister's Pro Nails finally came out today. I'm really disappointed that Memphis Tennessee's Project Pat wasn't featured in the video as the hook does come from the first verse of his fairly recent song Good Googly Moogly. It would have been cool to have him in the video, I hope they invited him.

As for the video, I'm not that impressed. It's kind of what you'd expect. It features all the coolest people from Chicago wearing ironic early 90s clothes. Take a look for yourself:

Gaze love songs where girls talk about how pretty they are. Here is a quick overview of some recent vanity jams:

So there is this girl from Chicago, Kid Sister, who has this song called "Pro Nails." It's about how her nails are really pro or something. She played on Minna St. behind the Mezzanine some weeks ago. I didn't have a chance to go, but it looks like plenty of gaze showed up to represent.



In case you haven't been keeping up with the top 40, there is a song by 17 year old Brooklyn native Lil Mama called "Lip Gloss." It's about how lip gloss can make your outfit, even if your clothes aren't that cute.



A couple years ago there was a great song by Princess and Diamond of Crime Mob featuring Miss Aisha called "Stilettos (Pumps)." It's about how surprising it is that girls can get crunk.



And, for old time's sake, here is Divine with "I'm So Beautiful."
