His wicked sense of humour
Suggests exciting sex
His fingers focus on her
Touches, he's Venus as a boy

He believes in beauty
He's Venus as a boy

He's exploring
The taste of her
Arousal
So accurate
He sets off
The beauty in her
He's Venus as a boy

He believes in beauty

He's Venus as a boy

Between Natalie M, Bjork or Deloris O, who should be kept FARTHER away from a microphone?

This movie made me cry buckets.  Jean Reno was awesome in it.  And didn't Luc Besson direct it?

 
Yup, Luc Besson, he of the bruce willis "The fifth element" fame.  The Professional was a great movie, Gary Oldman deserved an Oscar for his cray guy performance.

I've always been fascinated by Björk. I love her music, her quirk acting style (Dancer in the Dark is highly recommended) and she has such a great face.

This is easily my personal favourite pencil drawing. It combines a portrait & hands - my two fave things.

Hope you like. :)


  I really love this pencil drawing - it reveals a vulnerability not easily discerned from her music. Those nibbled fingernails, and freckles! I think BikerScout's rendition humanizes what might be to some people an intimidating powerhouse of a woman.  Thank you, Calypsus_1.  Sometimes a picture is worth far more than a thousand words.

One of the best, original female singers over the past 20 years or so.  This Debut album was a delight following her Sugarcube days, of which I was a rabid fan.
 
And the album was absolutely brilliant and fresh.  Although Post was where she really knocked my socks off.  She never really made another album that moved me as much as that one.

Ok, I know it's old.  But I still think it's funny.

I have an instinctual negative reaction to Bjork and am surprised when I almost always enjoy her music.

Byork = Most-overrated-artist-that-isn't-so-commercial-in-U.S-yet-she-is-fairly-well-known.

You know, after listening to the song I can say that her vocals on the song do show some slight bit of strength and quality that many mainstream singers today would be either too scared too attempt or too insecure to do without hiding behind the curtain of pitch correction.

This is great, love hearing it on RP. I think of the scene in Leon: The Professional when I hear this. Awesome.

And she's an original. Plus, I believe she's the only female Icelandic artist played on RP.

Oh yes, I certainly do.
Particularily the extended version that contained the 23 minutes of story that the yank preview audience found too morally challenging to stomach. ;)

Always loved this song and this album got a lot of play by me in about 1997.

I like the joke! Wished I had more time to read the other comments and try to figure out where this is all coming from.

Listen to "Where Is The Line" from her album Medulla and tell me if you think she is still cute. Better yet, watch the video at the same time.

Skinhead O' Connor ;). I never really know what to think of Björk. I like her person, her personality. I think she has some really strong stuff in her music and the way she uses her voice, but I'd never put it on, at home. I think I have respect for Björk, but that's not particularly because I like her music that much.
