Sorry, Pink and Christina are NOT skanks and never can be – they have far too much actual talent. I think Britney Spears qualifies as a non-skank on these grounds as well. Part of being a skank is thinking you have talent but having none. Missy Elliott does not qualify on these grounds, more so than anybody else, and frankly, I see almost nothing skanky about her. You have WONDER about someone who thinks Missy Elliott is skanky. Nah, Courtney and the Hilton sisters have the Queens of Skankitude title all to themselves out of this group. (I am not qualified to sit in judgement on Lil Kim, never having heard her stuff that I know of. ---

So Britney Spears is talented now? 😕 Christina and Pink both have gotten skankier since they first started, but I don’t think Pink should be in the running for Queen of Skankified Sluttiness. I don’t see why anyone would think Missy Elliot is skanky either. I’ve always thought she looked like a really nice person actually. The Hilton Sisters though…I have to use about a gallon of brain bleach whenever I see them on TV. ---

Can’t you get arrested for that in public? ---

I think Britney Spears qualifies as a non-skank on these grounds as well. Part of being a skank is thinking you have talent but having none.** Exactly my thoughts and so using this criterium I believe we have a winner!

The irony is, you can see more of Jennifer Lopez’s breasts in that picture than you can in _Gigli_ (which was R-rated). ---

Pink? Lil’Kim? Aguilera? Spears? Hilton? Come _On_. Those are just poseurs. The same way your 13 year old daughter is a poseur because she wants a crop tee that says “pornstar” in pink glitter paint: because all the 16 year old girls are wearing them to church nowadays. Of the names mentioned, only Courtney is even in the ranking, and then because of what she used to do on stage… as in going “commando” under a miniskirt and then spending the entire show with one high-heel-clad foot hiked up on a monitor at the front of the stage. Why do you think the band was called “Hole” anyway? Even Madonna is barely more than a poseur. To really find the queen of skank, you have to visit the little room in the back of the mom’n’pop video rental store. Lemme throw out one name: Mila. (And I ain’t talking Jovovich.) No? Don’t recognize that one? How about Tiffany Mynx? Thought so. /skankophile ---

I remember years ago, a friend who now likes her, said of Madonna, “She looks like she would _smell._” This was during her “Lucky Star” years, when she was still wearing all those rubber bracelets and torn-up lace with a gazillion crucifixes used as belts. Now, she’s got a store-bought English accent and an air of royal haughteur. Let’s see any of the previously mentioned skanks get rehabilitated as much as Maddy did. ---

She squatted in The Music Building in NYC with her friends, and bathed herself in the bathroom sinks there. Her fashion choices at the time reflected her poverty. I’m with you on the accent. It has _got_ to go. I mean, I know she spends half of her life in England now, but come on. God, I love her to pieces, but sometimes I think that woman needs a smack upside the head.
