The video for "Blurred Lines", Robin Thicke, never stops to talk to him. Mod Carousel, a male neo-burlesque troupe, has released its own version where men and women switch roles. Funny and clever.
If "Blurred Lines" is undoubtedly one of the summer hits, its success has been accompanied by heated debate on the image of women conveyed by the clip (including the uncensored version), or some bad words that would make the rape (the myth of the girl who said no but think so).
Rather than scream wolf with the pack, you can also use humor to mock the trip macho singer Robin Thicke. This was done Mod Carousel , a troupe based in Seattle who practices boylesque , male version of neo-burlesque, the famous dance-based stripping sexy but not vulgar is back in fashion in recent years .
In this alternative version, the three boys Mod Carousel therefore take the place of girls (including the now unavoidable Emily Ratajkowski ), fluttering almost naked and perched on high heels. Robin Thicke, Pharrell and TI are replaced by their daughters (local singer Caela Bailey) dressed in costumes and strutting among these men objects. Note that the lyrics of the song was re-recorded and also adapted to this kind of inversion.
Mod Carousel explains the meaning of his approach with a very interesting perspective:
" We believe that most attempts to show objetisation of women in the media by reversing the roles is more to ridicule the human body to illustrate the excess of the objetisation women, which ultimately does a disservice to anyone. We made this video specifically to show a spectrum of sexuality and to have both women and men in a positive light, one day to the man an object is normal, and where a woman can be strong and sexy without negative repercussions .
