@alexis Isn't it? So many things going on here -- great concept; ace costuming; sweet dance moves; not to mention all the lovely 50s typography + product design... I love it when designers can do a retro aesthetic throwback in a new / interesting way instead of just recreating what has already been done.
@Han This was stunning. I have never heard of Temi Dollface until now, but this track rocks! And, to top it off, there's a fat dude laying down some funky moves!
Thanks for this. And by the way, I have been a TIMJ member since I saw your site profiled on BBC World ages and ages ago (when there were bugger all members) - and it just gets better and better.

This music video is great, and makes up for the last cruddy 20 or so I've seen.
