OMG I love the pictures here! Nice sunglasses too

I just saw pictures of Mika with a beautiful looking white cake that was so huge and it had piano keys on it with lollipop girl on the side and a piano man on top on the "Send a message to Mika thread" and I didn't want to make a nusance of myself there so does anyone know of the thread where I can find/see those pictures or possibly read about it?

Those are moments when I wish I worked at a hotel

+100

Here's the same one but bigger and another one

 

 

I'm finding out so much from this thread!

Not looking for a thread or picture or anything, I'm actually just asking a question and don't know where else to pose it:

What is a tour book? You know the one that someone won during the MFC spring cleanup?

I think the same deal is possibly the one Mika obtained from Kanye West where he found Es Devlin had worked on his glow in the dark show.

Sorry for being a noob (after 3 and a half years)

I miss seeing your face and hearing about you and talking with your fans every day.

He fits in well..

Yes he does! I just never found a way of getting photos of Mika up here that fitted in with the thread until recently. I love seeing pictures and realising all over again how wonderful and cute and gorgeous Mika really is!

"Oh and I'm woma-I'm also wearing women's underwear!"

It looked like he was going to get up and show us his frilly knickers but I saw other videos from that ball (am I allowed to talk about that?) and there was a laptop and a camera and you give your confession and then press the button to stop the video and he pushed that button like he wasn't sorry for stealing that "incestuously stolen" jewelery one little bit!

How adorable is Mika?

:wub2:

I saw Kick Ass on C4 in the hols!

I was watching "What's the theme?: Hits from the flicks" and it was not in the top 5 I don't think But it was ON!

Last night I watched LiveICM and PDP in a row and I've been listening to my special edition TBWKTM album lots and LICM as well. I feel really out of touch with Mika. Sometimes I feel like all I do is watch live vids and look at pics. I want to look at/hear interviews too but haven't got the time now as I don't get lots of time at my friend's and school is a nono (I'm pulling a nono right now ).

But do you know what? Watching LiveICM for the first time in ages (and a long way from home, the doco), I realised that Mika has really grown (as has the ability of the camera people who shoot his shows ) and I love how when he said all the stuff about going on tour in the ICM doc, it really related to me at the time when I got it, but now, it's PDP's doc that gives me more to think about. Designing sets and taking something existing and applying a bigger dome to it (like adding more money and a bigger place and more time).

I'm making lots of cartoons ATM. Mika ones and a Greg Wells peice and lots of ones about a certain gtalk stalker

I hope you're all well, remember I'm always available on Facebook, and moreso than MFC so if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here (er.. There :Pp)

They played kick ass on c4?

Sorry I haven't been on! I still love you all and still love Mika of course. I haven't had internet in a long time. I'm on at this rediculous and terrible of destinations (please don't let me get caught) and I'm telling you I love you all and miss you like crazy!

I hope you're all well but am not reading the whole lot of posts that have piled up in my absense that I've yet to read.

Be well Mika friends

*Smug look*

Guess who got a happy birthday wish from Motzart at a computer.....

Oh wow, a meet up would be fun!

 

I would have some trouble convincing my parents...but if i have until october it should work.

 

I would really like to meet all of you...my friends are sick of me talking about Mika 24/7.

LOL yeah my friends are over it. But they know it's better Mika than some of the friends I have BESIDES my usual friends. Those ones that everyone thinks are creepy.

My poor friends. I feel sorry for them because they're not creepy, they're just very... very very... very disturbed

Yeah I usually just sai "I REALLY want to go to Armageddon espo in Auckland because THIS CELEBRITY ARTIST will be there. If I can make the money up, can I go? PEEEEEASE???

Do you think that they are actually letters written though? Some of them feel to me like they've been translated or really dramatised to be artistic more than serious. But tragic at the same time. Like a sad mine rather than a sad man in the rain. If that makes sense?

Maybe he's being clever about the numbers. Is there something like a 96th platform? Or somethingfor the station to do with the numbers 6 and 9 possibly?

IDK, it's so much less obvious than LICM isn't it?!

 

As in from One Foot Boy? Yes, I think so. But he did say he disliked it ("makes me seasick")... I always thought that meant that he hated it when people went out with him just for the status... like seeing someone on 13 February just for the card the next day. Or maybe he got the feeling that people went out with him as an experiment, to see how weird he was. I hate how people do that...

 

Maybe he did try "Empty loving" and then felt bad? On a side note, there is the train ticket from Valentine's Day '96?

Wait, I was away a few days and got to thinking: Mubbina's being the mubbin form of GGG would explain her absence in the "Beautiful Freaks" picture!

All the mubbins, BG, LPG, BB, Dr John and even Mika make appearances but she's not there...

And nor is Toy Boy BTW...

The song is unappologetic about being different and wanting to go places (or do things that people might think are a bit wack) and I think maybe he says "Empty loving makes me seasick" because, as you said, he did it but didn't feel good about it. He went through a very dark time I think and maybe HE was the one experimenting (with sexuality, identity and trying on different things to learn what he liked and what he didn't like so he knew whether to do it more or not at all) and so yeah... But he got asked about the V-day ticket and he didn't really answer it did he?

Once again, I heard about this from OMM and he sort of just said something about the date and made it seem like it didn't mean so much to him because how old was he in 96? (his words, not mine. I also remember he tried to add it up and then gave up trying the mental maths ) so I'm not really sure. But isn't it on the same page as those mean letters?

I'm a little rusty on it all seeing as I don't actually have the album near me. I haven't seen it since I handed it over to a trusted friend, along with all the contense of my Mika-box because I was fearing for its safety. That was around february or late january

Thank you for bumping this thread! I've been on a low of material for the last little while and you are it's saviour

Thanks!

 

"Famous or in prison", haha that's brilliant! I think a lot of celebrities, especially musicians/artists are like that (Lady Gaga?)... "Too weird for the real world!"

 

I got the impression that Rain was a breakup letter from the TBWKTM years, which he sent and only remembered when it came to writing TBWKTM...? Idk

Maybe. But wasn't he quite frivolous in his teen years when it came to... Um... "Empty loving?"

Ha, now I'm going to obsess over Astor's "psychological handicap". From the look of the second school photo, he's the tallest of the Mubbins...

 

Yes, I read the OMM article. I think I've at least got an idea as to why Mubbina would want to run away.

 

In picture ten, where Mubbina is crying in the forest, she is next to a Missing poster asking about Good Gone Girl, who REALLY resembles her.

 

In a Radio 1 Live Lounge interview from when TBWKTM came out, MIKA said GGG was about a (small-town?) girl who made it big.

 

SO I was thinking Mubbina was the GGG who got tired of her non-stop lifestyle, paparazzi, etc., and ran away.

 

BUT then they drink the rainbow water, and she can't go back, and regrets it?

 

Coming back to the "Why did MIKA run away?", I'm not sure. It seems to me that, from interviews and songs, we've got a pretty good idea of his childhood, but he's nowhere near as open about the TBWKTM years. I think if he DID run away, it might just be because he had an argument with a family member and stormed off. Mind you, I think he must have made up, as he now lives in his parents' house

 

Ooh! New thought: given that Rain's lyrics are taken from a break-up letter, maybe it was just lots of things at once: bad time at school, arguments at home, AND a breakup... I think most teenagers would run away, if only for a few days. I'm probably wrong by miles, though.

OMG you are a jenious about Mubbina-vs-GGG!

I thought Rain was written more recently than his TBWKTM years. Possibly he may have had a hard time with his family for a while?

Like how his mother knew more about his secret life than he knew at the time. And how she said he was either going to end up famous or in prison (I think?). And then there was school which we all know was less than perfect... Yeah...

Yes... in

MIKA says the idea for the video is that he's run away from home - hence the Missing milk carton at the beginning. I think he also says that the Mubbins have run away from home before the start of the book, as we see it...

 

This is my theory on the story:

 

Four teenage friends/acquaintances want to, for various teenager-y reasons, leave home. They start to "stray from the beaten track" and *ahem* experiment I got this from Drinky saying on picture five "We should have stuck to cider".

 

...

 

Somewhere along the line (later than this, as the water gives them a Mubbin-not-teenager appearance) Mubbina regrets leaving and misses her life back home (picture ten). She "cried, and cried..."

 

...

 

Also along the line, probably around the same time in the story, Drinky starts blaming other people for what happens to him - "his mother... his father... anyone but himself" - picture six.

 

...

 

After a while, most of the group adapt to their new world. Astor, with his Napoleon Complex (shall we call this NC?), tries to solve the mystery, and help them. I think Mubbina looks a little sad in picture twelve - maybe she's smiling through her tears; "grin and bear it" etc...?

Narco just... sleeps, and Drinky stays bitter and hurtful (he's stabbing a voodoo pin into the doll [Toy Boy?] at the end).

 

Also, here is MIKA's "Behind The Artwork" video, which has quite a bit about Mubbins. I can't remember how much, as my computer won't play it, but it's really interesting anyway...

 

I've kind of made this up as I've gone along, so please let me know what you think...

Yeah, that sounds right. Something about a rainbow waterfall and teens running away from school because they hate it.

Why did Mika want to run away? He said the Mubbins were like versions of himself (I think in the Observer Music Monthly last year). I mean, we know he didn't have a good school life but what about his family?

Hey, random fact: Napolion complex isn't what it's actually called. It's one term used because Napolion was a short man who conquered places to make up for what height he lacked. But truthfully, Napolian was average height for a man back in his day. His guard happened to be very tall, thus, making him look short.

That's what I heard anyway

hey guys!

hows your holidays going?

 

 

so i thought id move conversations back here for a second

so this weekend I met Khayla (lollipop_girl) and oh wow it was so amazing

so we decided we definately needed a meetup

 

we also had an idea to cosplay as mikas characters!

 

Armageddon is in auckland on labour weekend later this year for three days and only 2 days in wellington 2011. (khayla its not usually on easter weekend. this year was the first time)

 

might start another thread and a facebook for it!

 

 

I had an idea. because we want the ausies involved us kiwis could hire costumes for the cosplay parade in auckland and then make our own costumes for competiton wellington 2011.

 

if we are a group we can all help eachother out with costumes!

 

that way we get the kiwis together and we have played around with the idea of dressing up first!

and of course...got to know eachother! because although ive met two of you there are still some of you I havent met and none of you have met eachother (unless you knew them already)

 

anywho...I for one would love to have a meet up in october and then again in another 6 months time! a meetup every 6 months would be wicked!

 

and of course we would be going up to visit charlie in her part of the country!!!

Perfect Ro!

If we're ok with that plan, I want to go as Jessica Rabbit in Oct

I did bad things this week.

Baaaaad things.

:roftl:

I posted this on the Beautiful Freak thread but thought i'd pop it in here too...

 

I met a man today.

A nice man.

A nice man who told me I can be who I want

I don’t have to follow the crowd

I’m not a sheep

Baaaaa…

I’m actually quite unique you see

He told me not to be afraid

Of being turned down

Or making mistakes

Because one day

We’ll get the thumbs up

And we’ll learn from our mistakes

Dress as brightly

Or as darkly as you want

But don’t judge others

Who are different to you

Just because they don’t like the same music

Doesn’t mean they’re not nice people

It just means they won’t go to the same shows as you

But you can still be friends

This nice man also told me

To love who you want to

Just because your love happens to have the same bra size as you

Or none at all

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hold hands with them while walking down the street

Love is my religion

The nice man told me

To remember to smile

And maybe hug the one you love

Everyday

Just to remind them

That you love them

Also, brains aren’t everything

The cleverest person in the world

May have no imagination

Which I find sad

While the person who did badly at school

Could change the world

The nice man said I was lucky

To be able to dream of impossible situations

And my future

Hopefully, I may change the world

One day

Or if not

Just make someone happy

Because life’s too short to be cool

Forever isn’t long enough

To show someone you care

There are not enough hours in the day

The nice man said

So don’t waste them

You can always sleep when you’re dead

We’re just tiny pieces in the universe

The nice man looked up at the stars

But the smallest things can make

The biggest impact

Look at the tiny ant

But don’t look too close

It might crawl up your nose

I looked into the nice man’s eyes

The same colour as my own

You can’t have a rainbow

Without a little rain

So dance in it

Make it into something precious

What am I? I asked

You are a Beautiful Freak, he replied

Eyes full of happiness and wisdom

But you’re not the only lonely one

Come with me

The nice man put his arm around my shoulders

And led me to an imaginary paradise

The Home of the Beautiful Freaks

You might meet the nice man one day

Then again, you might not like the same music as I do

Ah! that's incredible!

I have never seen "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".

*Points finger* CONDEEEEEEMNED!
