Such an underrated artist...she's got the voice of an angel and writes such smart and meaningful lyrics...her mix of techno/dance/pop/rock/punk is always interesting and, believe it or not, she's currently unsigned(!)
I saw her years ago here in Detroit with Shakespeare's Sister and happened to be standing next to her family...they were so proud and her brother was telling me how hard she worked to get where she's been. I just think she's so overlooked (and not just because she's from Motown and once played the angel of God on an Ab Fab episode )...


Check her out!

I LOVE those scenes.

Saffy: What did you talk about?

Edina: Well...shopping mostly.

GangstaFam said:

wasn't marianne faithfull god in that?

i think marcella detroit was the singer at saffy's wedding in the church

or was she someone else?

(for flowers, mow the netherlands)

love, love LOVE Marcella!

IstenSzek said:

Yup, she was God. She and Marcella were in 2 scenes - the one where Edina blacks out at the edge of that cliff while she's skiing and during Saffy's wedding.

Possibly my favorite line from that whole show comes right after she wakes up from her 'religious' experience and has that massive fight with Saffy.

"Heal! Heal. Go peacefully amongst the things."

i love her clownesque lip stick stigmata


you are NOT jesus christ!

IstenSzek said:

I miss that show...




One of my favorite episodes is the one when they go to Morocco.




Now back to Marcella...

applekisses said:

Pop specs, darling. These are them!

GangstaFam said:

OMG...the pop specs

Is that the episode when Patsy eats the potpourri?

applekisses said:

No, I don't think so. The pop specs are right before they go to Morocco. I think she actually wears them by the pool.

"You know...I'm just going to be some lovely, gorgeous things!"



Sorry to derail your thread!

Marcella's great. I haven't listened in quite some time, but I like her.

YES! MOROCCO!


"look...schizophrenia"


"well let her go to marrakesh
we'll go to morocco"


"quite big tits"


"well, have you eaten anything?
"no, not since 1974"



"it's my turn on the donkey now!


"just go pats! my god, if you can do it in the gutter
in london you can do it out here in a ditch too"



"2000 dirham for one sour faced rat"



i love that episode!

IstenSzek said:

What's the quote about the sideburns on the insides of Saffy's thighs?

applekisses said:

yes, i was thinking about that one too.

i might have to watch it again tonight,
and let you know tomorrow

IstenSzek said:

Thanks I still haven't gotten the DVD set...that's on my list.

applekisses said:

i have all seasons on dvd, plus the "gay" special and the two
christmas specials.

the only thing i can't get on dvd is "the last shout" which i
really want!

i had it on vhs though. but the tape got erased

Siobhan Fahey is better!

MikeMatronik said:

Not!

applekisses said:

I'm more fond of her. Especially the vastly underrated Shakespear's Sister's "#3" album...

But it's matter of taste.

IstenSzek said:

"I need...the loo."

"It's Friday. You've been unconscious for 3 days!"

IstenSzek said:

I've got most of them too. I had "The Last Shout" VHS as well, but I think my friend 'borrowed' it like 8 years ago and never returned it.

"Stay" by Shakespear's Sister was awesome.

talking about shakespear sister and ab fab,
check this out.

OMG...Dawn French is hysterical!

Marcella is brilliant. I saw her live in a club in Birmingham years back, bizarely she was supporting that guy from Spandau Ballet. She has the most amazing voice live. I was a fan of Shakespeare's sister but she was the stand out member for me.

(Love Ab Fab also, as it happens).
