And its about FREAKIN’ time, I know 
And the funny thing is–Playboy Mommy really needs no explanation or interpretation. The song hits you in the gut like a ton of bricks with its obviousness. But, hey, it have me a chance to say my 500-word piece on one of my favorite Tori Amos songs (shout out to the A Piano version though. Geez…what a powerful three minutes!).
Like Spark, whenever I hear Playboy Mommy it takes me back in time to when I first purchased Choirgirl (the day it came out) and listened to the album from beginning to end 10 times in a row. The excitement of a new Read more »

(The ADP tour being long-over is hardly an excuse to stop blogging about our fave red-headed songstress. But, hey, its the only one I’ve got. Sorry, folks 
Let me give this another shot!)
While most of us have Legs & Boots albums to inject into our veins, others of us are still jonesing for what used to be a constant supply of Tori Amos news. Yeah, we’ve had Perez Hilton appearances, talk about the musical, this comic book thang, and random magazine articles, but nothing compares to Pip’s Me and a Gun performance, Santa’s onstage antics, or the palpatation-inducing frenzies we all experience upon the receipt of the nightly setlist.
In a vein attempt to assuage my aching heart, I’ve been checking YouTube daily for lost concert footage or perhaps another camera angle of the MAAG w/a band performance. But, alas, what do I see (when I sort by “date” anyway)? Talented young folks Read more »

Hey everyone!
I’m still travelin’ the United States on internship interviews, but I found myself near a computer and wanted to say hello.
I want to thank Kelli for the wonderful series of Legs & Boots reviews that appeared last week. This has been one of my more successful categories…hopefully it made everyone better prepared for their boot purchase experience.
There are things going on in the Tori Amos world since Read more »

Featured Dolls: Santa AND Isabel!
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 wigs
San D, CA. Again one of the top three boots, just for controversial reasons. And you get two dolls! Woohoo! Santa and Isabel! They only do one ‘original’ each the rest is like the best of the tour. You get some funky Dan Phelps bass on She’s Your Cocaine, it is so fricken’ hot, my god! Get this boot! The performances are absolutely superb.
Matt Chamberlain’s improv. at the beginning of Hootchie Woman is amazing. I love that man and I want to have his children. And I love the fact that Tori allows the band to improvise and add to her Read more »

Featured Doll: Santa
Rating: 4 “Sweet the Sting” wigs outta 5
Santa in a Cowboys Guernsey. Ok, well yeah, it’s hot. Santa does Sugar, Secret Spell, Cocaine and Swirl. And at times like these, you thank the good lord that Tori decided to bring the band on tour again. Because, Sweet the Sting with the band is all kinds of hot! Seriously. I love this song! You can’t go wrong with a song about two pianos getting it on! Tori is talkative in this one, with a lot of energy, and we get some Father Lucifer, some Tear in Your Hand, some Lust, some liquid diamonds, some Jackie, and an improv. about ‘remembering 44 years ago maybe your mothers were there and a bird that got a wing caught and something about a stop sign’ – of course, Tori is talking about the assassination of JFK in 1963. Beulah Land? It’s yummy. Not just because Tori mentions Read more »
