Cindy, from Brighton's Mama San, said one of her style icons is Karen O, which reawakened my own love for her and her insanely good band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Let the homage commence!
FEVER TO TELL - 2003
I remember being 12 when my brother started uni and staying up late to watch Later...with Jools Holland while he was visiting. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs came on and they just sounded like a bunch of crazy people making noise, and it was brilliant.
Plus my dad hated it which made it even better.
Even if you don't like the punky songs, which pretty much is the entirety of Fever to Tell, I defy anyone to dislike Maps. It's such a gorgeous song.
SHOW YOUR BONES - 2006
Look at this video with all Yeah Yeah Yeahs' fans in it...makes you feel fuzzy inside doesn't it.
IT'S BLITZ - 2009
Now, in 2009 they decided to go all electro on us...damn. No wait, this is brilliant too! Hurray!
Now for a few pictures on Karen O, because this woman can pull off anything. Mainly because she doesn't seem to give a flying rat's arse about what people think about her. Nice!

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE - 2009
Karen O composed almost all of the songs on the soundtrack to this film in collaboration with Carter Burwell. The film was directed by her former boyfriend Spike Jonze. Bandmate Nick Zinner co-wrote "All is Love", which was nominated for the "Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media", a songwriter's award, at the 2010 Grammy Awards.
I love this film! Everyone has to see it, big person or small.
The song on this trailer is by Arcade Fire...We won't discuss them today, that's opening up a whole other barrel of fanaticism...
