I can't sleep =/

I can't sleep, and therefore, y'all get a second post today.
(I kind of miss updating my livejournal.)

So I was thinking- Inquiring minds want to know! What is a Killer Queen?

Being a child of parents who have fabulous taste in music, I grew up listening to a good deal of Queen, and they remain to this day my soulmate band. (i.e., we were made for each other.) I mean, who else could write a song about bicycles and have it be so god damn cool?
*ANYWAYS* The song Killer Queen, off of Sheer Heart Attack is meant to be about a high class call girl. But Freddie Mercury is such a nice guy, that he said he wanted people to interpret the song as they saw fit.

To me, the song is about a girl who is classy and "utterly fabulous, darling." She's someone who enjoys the finer things in life, and doesn't mind getting a little dirty if it will benefit her in the end. A Killer Queen is someone who is intriguing and charming, and captures the hearts of men (and women!) everywhere. The spotlight is always on her, and she is always more than willing to oblige the prying eyes. But don't fuck with her, because she is "dynamite with a laser beam."

I chose it for the theme of this blog because I think the women I write about are true Killer Queens. Not necessarily in the glamourous, high-end kind of way, but they certainly didn't sit around waiting for someone to live their lives for them! These women are Killer Queens because they have the initiative to take what they want, act on their inspiration, and they never say sorry for being who they are.

She keeps Moet et Chandon, in her pretty cabinet
Let them eat cake she says, just like Marie Antoinette
A built in remedy, for Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation, you can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation, she spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China, went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally, if you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's a willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try



P.S: I think Freddie Mercury is one of those people who should've been immortal.
