It's a Pussy Riot Christmas Eve - The Protest Continues

Pussy Riot, specifically Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, announced today the band will continue and, by the way, thanks for all the new material as they have plenty to say about the miserable state of women in Russian prisons.  (CNN:  Freed Pussy Riot rockers say they will continue to rock Russian system)

These are the finest kind of females as they're hot, smart and very dangerous.  These girls have huge courage and I have boundless respect for them.



This is Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and the only way you can stop this girl is to kill her.  Those are the eyes of Russian protest and that look of defiance is a magnificent thing.  Everywhere else people have rolled over but this girl never will.


Play it Pussy Riot!





Maybe you say you don't like it but you're not supposed to like it.  Performance art is something to appreciate rather than consider as you would a candy bar or some such.

They've been members of kind of an art commune in Moscow and Pussy Riot is one manifestation of it.  There has been lots of support from various Western artists but Pussy Riot rejects them too as they're part of what they call a 'capitalistic model of music' which they find unacceptable.  The band has given away everything it has ever done.  (Wiki:  Pussy Riot)


It's an excellent Christmas gift to see the girls all dolled-up and drinking coffee together rather than seeing them in a jail cell.  I don't thank Putin but rather I thank the girls for being tough to enough to withstand Putin.  It was great to see them released from prison and it's even better to see they are undeterred.  I'm immensely impressed.
