Christina Aguilera – Your Body

“Your Body” is the first single off Christina Aguilera’s seventh album Lotus. Directed by Melina Matsoukas, the video features the singer as a “playful, tongue in cheek” version of a black widow who seduces then kills men in a variety of different ways. I’ll admit the video, which certainly plays up the singer’s sex appeal with a variety of costumes including skintight dresses, corsets, fishnet stockings, and high heels, works better for me than the song itself which is the type of droning club music that doesn’t always best lend itself to the singer’s strong voice.

adventures-of-ichabod-and-mr-toadThere are numerous holiday specials, mostly Christmas inspired, but a small collection of really good Halloween cartoons. Many fondly remember It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown from their childhood, which I’ll admit also has a fond place in my heart, but my favorite Halloween cartoon was a Disney short that was inspired by Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

As our story opens the nerdy new school teacher, Ichabod Crane, arrives in the small New England town. Although Ichabod is soon popular with the ladies for his manners, training, and knowledge of books, even catching the eye of town beauty Katrina Van Tassel, he’s far less liked by the town’s rough-and-tumble man’s man Brom Bones. 

Not willing lose a girl like Katrina to a man like Ichabod Crane, Bones decides to prove Crane’s cowardice and scare him by telling the story of the Headless Horseman who haunts the local woods looking for a new head. Ichabod is thoroughly frightened and his night horse ride home has him seeing ghosts and specters at every bend and turn.
