who the hell is bertine?

bertine.jpgfrankly, i have no idea. but from the looks of this photo, it appears that she is about to slip something into someone’s drink.

bertine zetlitz is, naturally, a euro-trash pop star (and i’m quite certain she would hurt me for that ‘trash’ part). apparently she is about to release her fifth album, brilliantly titled my italian greyhound. bertine herself said, “[it] is like the dog: elegant, humorous, fit and well scented. With a charming hint of neurosis.” i couldn’t have put it any better.

of course, there’s a creepy chic video for the disc’s lead single, “500.” i have no idea what’s going on there - give it a look and you’ll know what i mean! regardless, i presume you will adore it.

much thanks to popjustice for turning me on to bertine. she definitely makes my current pop mix more foreboding.
