Legends – and legendary ‘fits – never die.
Shania Twain crushes the maximalist fashion game anew in a re-launched version of her unforgettable flamboyant leopard print ensemble, which made its furious debut in 1997’s “That Don’t Impress Me Much.”
In a video released Thursday by masked minstrel Orville Peck, the 54-year-old queen of pop country posed the scene – quite consciously – in a head-to-toe couscous bag, complete with gold fringe and a glittery cowboy hat.
The empowering national anthem, called “Legends Never Die,” appears on Peck’s brand new EP “Show Pony,” now available on streaming platforms.
Recently filmed during the pandemic, the video is set in a socially distant theater, and has come from a number of other “cowfolx” – a euphemism for queer country folk – including “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Jaida Essence Hall, drag bodybuilder Miss Toto , fashion influencers Rebecca Brosnan and model Zachariah Shaw. There’s a “special vocal performance” by yet another showbiz legend, John Waters, who plays a radio DJ in the video.
Fans praised the over-the-top country crowns forever remained true to form.
“Legends are apparently not getting old. Shania is STUNNING, ”said one viewer.
“The look of sheer joy on Orville’s face when Shania introduces the song,” said another.
For some, the collaboration was a match made in early-aughts gay heaven.
“My first love as a young gay man was Shania,” said one admirer. “Seeing these two together ignites just such joy for me!”
“Well, this is officially marked that 2020 is turning around!”, Added another.
Singing in front of an open movie screen, the landlord wore a silver mug wearing a silver-colored leather jacket with rainbow flames and his signature fringe face mask.
Peck’s age and origins have been largely kept secret by the apparently private musician, who told L’Officiel in 2019 that he was “born in the Southern Hemisphere” and lived there most of his life. before spending his “formative years between a few places in North America” and Europe. Despite his life-rotting lifestyle, he described his persona as “rooted in Americana.”
