'I Look Fuckin Cool' is basically an empowerment anthem about loving who you are. Even if you're a ratchet couture mess like Adore, you're special. The video for the song takes place in 2080 after a coup has overthrown RuPaul's third term in office. A "Big Brother" government takes over, stifling freedom of expression, and so Adore creates an underground resistance movement through the gay hook-up app, Jack'D.
Drag queens at their finest, right? Well the video, directed by Ben Simkins, is this awesome post-apocalyptic narrative with Adore and Alaska bringing out their craziest drag and standing up to the ever-present militia. Alaska gets beaten up and dies, and then the video ends with Adore, Nina, and other queens in a stand-off with the militia.
It's crazy fun that only drag queens can provide, but in actuality it has a great message and is conveniently timed with Facebook's "real name" policy. What is Adore gonna do next?
