Thoroughly Modern Milli Vanilli

Well, Thoroughly Modern Millie is on TCM tonight, and after all the publicity for Beyoncé’s “Lip-synch-gate”, I was hoping some snarky reporter would write the headline “Thoroughly Modern Milli Vanilli” due to the lip-synching “scandal”. No dice, though, at least as far as I’ve seen.

But there is a feminist blog called Thoroughly Modern Millie Vanilli. But with such a name, I have to wonder if they’re just pretending to be feminists, and it’s all written by men. That way, the name would at least make sense, what with the whole Milli-Vanilli-not-really-singing-the-songs thing. (I wonder if these blog people have thought of that? Cute name, though.)

This is Milli Vanilli, for you young ’uns who might not get the reference:
