Curse of Popjustice

  • September 9, 2006
  • Popjustice

It seems like we have been meaning to do A Thing about Betty Curse for about eight years now. Today is the day, viewers. Betty Curse is a good thing. 

And literally everything about this pho­to­graph is just brilliant.

The whole thing is just ridicu­lously camp from beginning to end. Look a her website! It's hilarious! Did you see the video for 'Excuse All The Blood'? Brilliant! What about the whole 'she's not really goth' stuff? Who cares! What we really love is that all the 'rock' press have gone for it. It's not really a question of them having fallen for it, because the whole thing is just obviously what it is. But they have said nice things.

Betty's new single is called 'God This Hurts'. Is it about emotional pain when you are very upset about something. That is not her best song. Her best song is 'Girl With Yellow Hair'. We had to take it off the car stereo yesterday because it was making us drive too fast.
