Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.
This clip from the MTV Vault is so cute that it makes Teletubbies look like a horror movie and Macaulay Culkin look like Angela Lansbury. Oh wait, Angela Lansbury is actually super cute. Never mind that one.
In what I assume is an impromptu ad for a 1983 Become-An-MTV-VJ-Contest, human bunny rabbit / kitty cat Martha Quinn interviews a chubby-mini-naughty-baby Drew Barrymore, who is appropriately dressed in polka dots and prom hair. Quinn -- in her pixie cut, button nose and cardigan -- out-adorables Mr. Rogers' whole Neighborhood Of Make-Believe. Drew Barrymore is actually a Peep that came to life. Oh, and she's a Duran Duran fan.
Seriously, get ready to mush your cheeks, half-cover your eyes and say "eeeeeeeee." This is insane. It's too much. That Downy Bear better start looking for a new job.
Pre-gaming or whatever this gorgeous Friday eve? Before you black out, flash back to the glory days of awesome crap!... Way back to MTV Spring Break 1986 with Martha Quinn, who mixed stripes and a something-or-other-print with reckless abandon. What happened next was that Starship landed, and the power mullets took over and performed "We Built This City" -- Blender (RIP!) named it the worst song ever written, and not for nothin' -- and rest was rock history (probably best left forgotten...)
Also, I think that's Grace Slick in the rolled-up blazer (I'm too afraid to look any closer), and in what's perhaps an ironic harbinger to come, s/he sorta looks like Gabe Saporta in drag! Starship = Cobra Starship connection!
