Fergie From The Block
I am experiencing a massively delayed reaction vis-à-vis the output of Stacy Ferguson.
The woman is a spectacular inventress.
First, she invented herself a killer rack (see above), after having invented herself a credible music career, by way of Black Eyed Peas and a hilarious stint on 'Kids Inc.' as a child (with Martika!).
Then she seized the moniker Fergie from someone who already existed. Seizing things that already exist would later become a hobby (see below).
Her greatest creation is obviously that recent, rich contribution to linguistics 'Fergalicious', a word she was forced to coin after a slagfight with Nelly F and Beyoncé which revealed she was neither bootylicious nor promiscuous but still a coke-snorting bitch.
It's an infectious, shouty slice of feisty pop brilliance which also reveals Stacy'slazy songwriting keen ear for existing good tunes: the song borrows HEAVILY from "Supersonic" by J.J. Fad, an excellent song (with a gloriously 80s video) that is frankly screaming to be copied (cf. Sarah Ferguson). Its catchy 4-syllable hook fits 'Fergalicious' perfectly, and in turn spawned 'Condilicious', which is about exactly who it sounds like it's about. Please witness both gems below and thank me later.
Continuing Stacy's fascination with adjectives, 'Glamorous' is her current single, the obligatory 'I was once poor but, although now famous, am still me' rubbish that successful singer-actresses with guilt complexes feel the need to enunciate to the world.
It's a corker of a tune, hauntingly informing us that being rich and fergalicious has not changed Stace as a person and that she is still, in fact, a coke-snorting bitch.
Yes, she copped out and borrowed an existing word for the title of this song, but the song's lyrics contain a further startling invention. Please inspect the following video at 3:24, 3:16, 3:09, 2:25, 2:18, 2:11, 1:12, 1:05 and 0:57 and tell me what the fuck she is saying.
She appears to be talking about Flopsy and Mopsy, fuck buddies of Cottontail in the Peter Rabbit stories.
If it is not "Flopsy, Mopsy..." that she singing, is it perhaps "flossy, flossy..."? If so, surely dental floss is an affordable grocery item no matter what your level of wealth or fergaliciousness? Please tell me, in the comments, if you know what the fuck this means, or I will be forever condemned to sing along in the car with "Flopsy, Mopsy" in my head on loop.

I think she's flossing, but not in a dental kinda way:
"FLOSS: To flaunt expensive merchadise such as Iced-out rollies, Jaguars on Triple Golds, Gem-encrusted Pimp goblets, Huge whops of dank hydro, etc."

Excellent. Much better than the next best interpretation, which involves flossing with her g-string. This obviously brings an unpleasant vagina wedgie situation to mind, a disaster for us all.

Apparently vagina flossing can be quite liberating...apparently

It is a little known - though unsurprising - fact that vagina flossing is actually quite glamorous.
It's impossible to thread a stylish piece of material back and forth, friction-burn-style, through your privates without looking a tad pretentious.

If you ask me, 'Floss' should be defined as "I'm a talentless ugmo who completely ruined the Black Eyed Peas for evs."

CSH, have you even seen Stacy Ferguson on a pair of rollerskates? Bitch knew her way around a stage when she was 12 --> breathtaking.
As for talent, I long ago dispensed with it as a measure for success, and agree that BEP were probably better without her. But she made them multi-millionaires. Plus, she used to be on a brilliantly kitsch children's show. These are definite pluses.

Hmm, I do love a bit of hawt roller-derby action.... but my bitter attitude still stands.
She's a ruiner.

she is a skank and probably needs a good vagina floss, or the "Oh Flossy Flossy" as she likes to sing it.
Perhaps that was what was going on in that photo of her.. ah.. wet patch that was doing the rounds a couple of years ago.
here is a link to refresh your memory (you may want to cover atleast one eye)

I belive it is "FLOUNCE, FLOUNCE".
As in to prance or strut.

Though rabbits do enjoy incest, Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail (and Peter for that matter) were all siblings.

You're quite right. But you never know, particularly under the sordid influence of that vixen Jemima Puddle-duck.

I am most certainly alone then in thinking they were pretty shit to start off with, and only marginally improved when they become a novelty pop act. The only song from their pre-Fergie back catalog that I like is "Request Line", and that's simply because of the odd Macy Gray vocals, and the fact that I was obsessed with the song when it came out for about 6 months.
Other than that, before Fergie, they were just another group that shouted over some terrible music with some help from a few guests now and then. I tried giving their earlier stuff a go late last year but it only made me feel like having a nap.
You know that Fergie's in the new Tarantino/Rodriguez flick Grindhouse yes my dear Scott?

"Weekend" is freakin' brilliant though in their pre-Fergie days. Their Elephunk album was pretty decent (but she had minimal involvement with that actually), but dear god Monkey Business (or whatever it was called) was dreadful. "My Humps" is one of the worst songs ever.
I did actually really like "Fergalicious" though that's probably because of the JJ Fad reworking. "Glamourous" isn't half as bad as some other stuff though. Meh. I still don't like HER though.

Fergie (former Duchess of York) should reclaim what is hers... fergalicious could be an excellent name for a new Weight Watchers recipe book or somesuch.

She should stick to the killer rack.
