Getting a little tired of all those dark snoods
and suicide bomb belts? Ebru Gundes,
stunningly gorgeous pop-star from Turkey.
Now that's culture-war.
Check out those album covers. I saw
one of her videos once. Man, it defined
transgressive.
The woman can really sing, too, that's the
best part. And look how globalized and sophisticated her image handlers have
gotten in just ten years. You can even
buy Ebru Gundes ringtones. In Holland.
