Have you guys seen JLo's 'Get Right' video? It stars about 50 Jennifer Lopezes.

Here's the list and character analysis:

1. DJ Lo: We don't know it's her until the end, but you can tell it's her. She has to bring her kid to the club and expose her to the pack of other Lo's.

2. Baby Lo: Is the little girl a Lo? Could be.

3. Star Waitress Lo: Really bad blonde wig with star earrings and lightning bolt shirt. We really feel for this Lo because she's working so hard at this club yet she's so sympathetic towards her customers. What a girl. Spills drinks.

4. Sparkle Bar Dancer Hooker Lo: Hangs out in the bathroom putting on lip gloss and sparkly eye shadow. Hangs out at gay clubs. A possible fag hag. May even be a Man Lo in Drag Lo.

5. Eyebrow Pencil Lo: Can be seen hanging out with Gangsta Lo. Has a really bad boyfriend who works out. He likes Sparkle Bar Dancer Hooker Lo, EP Lo doesn't like that. They have huge fight in middle of the club. EP Lo breaks up with boyfriend possibly to end her days with Gangsta Lo who is just as manly as her ex.

6. Gangsta Lo: Hangs with Eyebrow Pencil Lo. Possibly a lesbian and attracted to EP Lo.

7. Video Fur Collar Jacket Dancer Lo: Wears assorted costumes and wishes she could dance like Janet. Fur is murder dumb Lo.

8. Video Dances with Cane Lo: A dancer but uses a cane. Shows us that even people who need walking assistance can dance.

9. Movie Star Lo: Dark but popular. Moody. Bored with life wishes she was Nerd Lo. Biggest hair of all the Lo's.

10. Nerd Lo: Sits in the corner by herself. Possibly Star Waitress Lo's sister. Wants to be Movie Star Lo. Gets her groove back during the last section of the song. Becomes a whore like Movie Star Lo.

11. Annie Hall Vest Lo: AHV Lo appears during the song's breakdown. She looks like a latina Diane Keaton and dances like one. We don't know much about her except that her dancers and she buy their clothes from Goodwill. The most shallow Lo.


Noteworthy moments:

1. Towards the end of the song, DJ Lo starts the infamous Crazy Sign Dance. Extend your arm over your head, point with your pointer finger and make huge circles in the sky. That's the Crazy Sign Dance. For some reason, the CSD becomes an all encompassing theme through the end section of the song. As if DJ Lo, Sparkle Bar Dancer Hooker Lo and Video Fur Collar Jacket Dancer Lo have all had it with their mundane existences and decide to tell the world that they're crazy. They do this rhythmic dance to shake of the frustrations of being a Lo and ensures to the viewer that someday they will grow up to be Senator Lo or Supreme Court Justice Lo or even President Lo...

2. The end reveals DJ Lo's identity by the DJ showing us her face. Surprise it's Jennifer Lopez. However, it's a weird looking green makeup Lo. I dub her Alien Lo.

3. We realize in the end that DJ Lo's daughter is also a Jennifer Lopez. But the best part is that this Lo can actually sing and therefore is head and shoulders above the other Lo's. You go Baby Lo.


Well that's it folks. A Cliffs Notes of sorts for 'Get Right' by Jennifer Lopez. If you get a chance to see it, do.

Yo ho ho! Land of Lo (for KIDS):

1. Which Lo are you and why? Write an essay about it and hand it in to teacher.

2. With crayon, draw your favorite Lo on a piece of contruction paper and show it to Daddy at his workplace.

3. Out of clothes from the Salvation Army, construct your own 'Get Right' Lo costume. Enact your own version of the video as a school play. Lo and behold, you too may be a Lo.


:D

Hahaha!! So many "Lo's"! :D Sparkle Bar Dancer Hooker Lo is my favorite (although all of them are wonderfully clever), because it sounds just like the name of a Barbie Doll. A Barbie Doll definitely for grown-up girls!

While Claire is writing her essay, I have my collection of colored pencils sharpened and ready (I might need glittery eye lining pencils for this.) I just hope my Daddy's mind isn't boggled when he receives the picture! :p

Major snaps, Gemini Cricket!! :snap: :snap: :snap: :snap:

This video just cracks me up every time I see it. She's trying to do all these different characters but she's not a good enough actress to pull them all off. Funny stuff. A new wig maketh not a new character... Ha! The song does get stuck in my head though.

That was so rock!


Since I don't have time to make it all the way downtown today to the Salvation Army...I'm just going to go down to the corner and steal the homeless guys clothes. I think they'll do nicely!

Homeless Lo! That be me!
