JUSTIN VIVIAN BOND: AMERCIAN WEDDING

This gorgeous, trippy video is for the first single from Justin Vivian Bond's new album, Dendrophile. Nothing sells records like a little controversy, but at least Justin's spat is interesting. The cabaret powerhouse wasn't none too pleased by a recent New York magazine article which profiled the performer, formerly known as Kiki of Kiki and Herb fame. You see, Justin has officially announced that he is transitioning into Justin Vivian Bond and henceforward prefers being referred to as the pronoun V. Now it's hard to even change your name in show biz so in NY Mag's defense, the development of a new pronoun may be as tough to digest as Prince's symbol phase, but nothing justifies their listing of Justin's address! You tell 'em, gal!
