Miscellany: May 2006 Archives

Icelandic actress �gústa Eva Erlendsdóttir appears on TV as the narcissistic character Silvia Night; singing as Silvia, she entered a song in the annual Eurovision song contest, and keeping to her swaggering manner, the song proclaims that she's going to win.

The character is probably meant as a spoof of greed and vanity, but somehow she particularly reminds me of the image of the pop singer Madonna. And I thought she was beyond satire.

(Note to readers: the song contains a cuss-word.)
