Sainthood...



Erm, OK. Army Of Lovers have published an open letter to group member La Camilla, thanking her for her services through the years and announcing that she will no longer be a part of the comeback, which started with their performance at Melodifestivalen last weekend. She will be replaced by Dominika, who is of course well known to fans of the group. Here is the letter:



"Army Of Lovers declare Sainthood for Santa Camilla - and welcome La Dominika to center stage!

Our Dearest Beloved Sister Camilla, Our Hundreds of Thousands of Fabulous Loyal Fans, and The Chosen Few of the Rest of You Out There in This Cold Cold World who dare to care
Please accept our sincerest and most heartfelt gratitude for the hilarious months of joy and happiness we have shared with You, Our Beloved Sister, during studio recordings, rehearsals, therapy sessions, interviews, and performances in connection to The Original Army Of Lovers’ participation at Melodifestivalen 2013. You are dearest to our hearts, You are forever Our Beloved Sister, You are the undisputed People’s Queen of Army Of Lovers. For all this, we are to You forever grateful.

Your performance at Melodifestivalen in Malmö - from Your fabulous entrance to Your royally ignorant attitude towards even hitting the lipsynching right - make Yours quite possibly the ultimate Army Of Lovers performance ever. Who cares about rehearsing properly in advance, or hitting the right notes, when the world really revolves around the Art of Entries and Exits? And since You practice this Art with the ultimate superiority, how could Your performance possibly be improved upon in any way whatsoever? It was flawless. You are flawless.

Our Beloved Sister, what was Your Melodifestivalen performance if not the quintessential celebration of the Talented Untalented, the Victory of Charisma over Substance, the Glamorous Amateur set against the Boring Professional, the Good Bad Taste against the Bad Good Taste, the Ethic of Anybody with an Attitude is born to be a Star? You personify all these qualities better than anybody else on this planet. You are the proudest Ambassador of the Heritage of Milli Vanilli, and for this we herald You as Our Eternal Queen of Punk!


However, the show must go on! There are wars to battle and win. Army Of Lovers have a huge task ahead of them, fighting hatred and intolerance everywhere until everybody on the planet can have sex with everybody else all of the time. In this year of The Reformation of Army Of Lovers - in all its various incarnations - it is time to take the next step. Just as generously as Dominika stepped aside to let You, La Camilla, and the boys reunite as The Original Army Of Lovers for Melodifestivalen, we now thank You for stepping aside to let Dominika take center stage in the next reincarnation of Army Of Lovers in this Golden Year of 2013.

We therefore today proudly declare Dominika to be La Dominika, and in return we award You the Ascension from La Camilla to Santa Camilla, The Enlightened Global Consciousness of Femme Fatale Hysteria, Our Living Saint! We will always kneel before Your Altar on every stage we enter. You will always be with us in our hearts. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, for Everything!

The Committee for The Continuation of The Reformation of Army Of Lovers"

What do you expect? they are total bitches just like me :) hahahaha

I have been waiting for about a million years for De La Cour to come back with her gorgeous blond hair and big boobies :)


at least we are getting a new compilation with a few new songs.


btw. sweety we had a brilliant time in California and I brought back Truth Or Dare blu-ray for myself :)

Barbarella's Galaxy said...

Welcome back home sweetie! Glad you guys had a great time! But can you even watch the Blu-Ray? I thought it was locked?

Yes, great to have the Army back! And what bitches ;)

Thunderbitch said...

I can watch it but only because my amazing husband gave me a new blu-ray player while we were in the Region A country :) so now I can by any disk I want. so I got Rosemary's Baby, Cronos, Videodrome and Scream collection + a few more.

I know I said that I wouldn't give in to pressure but I gave up on waiting for them to release Truth or Dare. I mean how is anyone suppose to live without it in you blu-ray collection :)

you can borrow the player and disc anytime you want so you can have a look at the transfer :)

hugs

Barbarella's Galaxy said...

Hehe, of course you just got another player ;) Thanks so much sweetie, I saw a tiny clip of "Express Yourself" from the BR and it looked fantastic!!!

I might have to buy a R1 player myself, although I have to say that we have hardly watched any films yet on BR - I have been so damn busy with school! But I am still very much looking forward to watch films like Evita, Barbarella and Suspiria on Blu-Ray! And I agree, I can't see how anyone could live without Truth or Dare in their Blu-Ray collection!

Hugs back sweetie!!!
