Last night, during a performance at New York City’s Highline Ballroom, the female lead singer of indie dance party staple Brazilian Girls had what appeared to be her period onstage and just, like, rocked it out, man. Was it fake? Probably. You don’t wear an all white skintight jumpsuit in front of a gathered crowd if you’re within a a few days of Shark Week, even if you’re in the most audacious of tampon commercials. But that didn’t stop one disgusted male journalist in attendance from 1- thinking it was real and 2- writing a review about how grossed out he was.
Without getting all Pitchfork on you, the concert began with the band’s lead singer in a pristine white skintight jumpsuit. As if cued by a Trauma Rama column, she began to menstruate early in the show, but unlike Trauma Rama, her crush did not walk by; she used the blood as a sort of punky prop. Think Lady Gaga with a gender studies degree and without a record label telling her not to involve mock menstrual blood in her act.
