Lip Service at MTV VMA Michael Jackson Tribute – American Idol’s Adam Lambert – Tap into Lip Service
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 by TheWebMistress
Countless millions watched Janet Jackson celebrate the musical legacy of her brother, Michael, at the MTV Video Music Awards this year. So, you can only imagine how proud we were to be a part of this special moment. Check out the sexy dancing stylings of the back-up dancers in our classic vinyl pants going through their paces with some cool-ass pop dance moves.
I know, I know … most of us are used to seeing Lip Service, especially vinyl, on bad-ass rock-n-rollers. But Lippy gear finds its way onto lots of musicians in a variety of genres. Who says slick, black vinyl can’t be pop delish? Apparently not Janet (actually, Miss Jackson, because we are nasty, thank you).
Check out the full performance on video (Thanks to the nice folks at MTV).
Still not convinced about Lip Service’s pop chops? Well, he may be the “wild gothy rocker” on American Idol, but über-adorable Idol Adam Lambert brought Lip Service straight to the mainstream. Check him out in his Psycho Circus jeans:
Well, now back to rockers, in a sense. They may have started as a fictional band, but there’s nothing imaginary about the kick-ass mock-rock of the Tap. Two classics … Lip Service Stretch Fuck’n Jeans and Spinal Tap. This year, they came together for the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien and the guys’ European tour. With Conan, Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) is in Lip Service jeans – yes, those are Kill City jeans on David St. Hubbens (Michael Mc Kean) and Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest). Their drummer, apparently, had once again spontaneously combusted or met with some -no doubt- ignoble end. Then, check out Nigel in some Lip Service Stretch Fuck’n Jeans doing the classic, Stonehenge, at Wembley. At least this time, the Stonehenge is taller than the little people dancers.
Come back next week for some awesome flashback celebrity Lip Service sightings (hint – one of them is Brad Pitt’s equally hot other half)
