Brenda Dickson's Second Act: Part One Of A Popsucker Special Report

Well hello! And welcome to my first PopSucker entry.

Since you're reading this, you're probably a web-savvy young culture vulture, and so you may well have already seen the video I'm about to share, Brenda Dickson's Welcome to My Home. But if you haven't... be prepared to discover your true reason for living, as washed-up 80's soap star (are there five sadder words in the English language?) Brenda Dickson presents her tips on how to dress, do your makeup, eat and exercise like--well, like a washed-up 80's soap star.

Ostrich feathers, anyone?

All right, make the jump, watch the clip, and then let's discuss.

Camp-tastic! Right down to the JonBenet glamor shots and canned soundtrack. But it takes a few viewings to realize just how amazing this shoddily produced, clumsily narrated little cry for help really is. Did you see how much makeup she's wearing before she puts on her makeup? Did you notice that she owns more red leather boots than anybody?

The second half of the video isn't quite as spectacular, although we are introduced to an amazing workout costume, some very unhappy-looking pets, and of course, some more breathtaking abuses of the English language ("The equipment at the gym is far more superior than anything I have in my home!"). Let's watch it anyway, just for closure, and then my next entry can tackle the best part of the Brenda Dickson phenomenon: the YouTube spoofs.
