This is completely daft, but I love it.

Um, yeah…

Last night I was inspired to revisit some of my favourite Kylie Minogue songs, and realised how many great songs she’s made over the years. Here’s a selection.

1. Confide in Me
2. Can’t Get You Out of My Head
3. Put Yourself in My Place
4. In Your Eyes
5. Kids (feat. Robbie Williams)
6. Come into My World
7. Love at First Sight
8. Spinning Around
9. Red Blooded Woman
10. Better the Devil You Know
11. Chocolate
12. Slow

As a bonus, here are some more excellent Kylie tracks, a couple of sexy ads featuring the pop princess, plus some of my favourite tracks sung by her sister Dannii.

Playlist:

1. Agent Provocateur ad (banned in some places)
2. H&M Love Kylie ad
3. 2 Hearts (her current single)
4. Physical (a live cover of Olivia Newton-John’s hit)
5. Where the Wild Roses Grow (with Nick Cage)
6. Breathe
7. All I Wanna Do by Dannii Minogue (I actually saw her perform this song in G.A.Y. at the London Astoria in 1998. Her voice was really strong and clear.
8. Put the Needle On it by Dannii Minogue
9. I Begin to Wonder by Dannii Minogue

I love this ad, though it’s reminding me that I need to prepare for the Christmas party at work this Thursday. It feels like the fates have been conspiring to make me attend it this year, but if I must go, I’m going to look gorgeous.

Two years ago I was having a hard time at the evil university. Some of my friends in another department decided to go to the Staff Xmas Party and dragged me along. I scrubbed up nicely in sparkly green eyeshadow and a low-cut red dress, and surprised some of my colleagues with my sexy dance moves. It was nice to be someone else for the night.

I doubt it will be the same at this forthcoming work party though, it’s being held at the counselling centre itself and I don’t think that wanton dancing will be encouraged. Anyway the plan is to pass through briefly, look gorgeous, and then disappear into the ether after a short time; Cinderella-stylee (but with both shoes still attached).

Video: Ladies Night by Kool and The Gang

Sing it with me: This is your night tonight/Everything’s gonna be all right!

I think it would be interesting to live in a bartering society, but of course the real reason I’m posting this video is due to the monkey.
