Manila Luzon Wants You To Take In All That Body

Let's be real. Who doesn't love Manila Luzon. If that person is you get the hell out of here because I talk about her literally all the time. She's the best queen from the RPDR girls period, and she's got a new video. So again, if you don't like her, you're gonna hate this video. Check out "This Body" by Manila Luzon.






This is the perfect example of me not digging a song too much until I got to see the video. When I first heard this track, it really didn't stand out to me. It was a bit overshadowed by some of Eternal Queen's other marvelous vocal stylings. Thankfully Manila has shown me the light, and has given us all this sexy and hilarious music video for us all to enjoy.

Manila has always been pushing the boundaries, and I really think that the video's body-positive message is great. Sure there were a lot of sexy men in undies dancing around, but here were also big girls, tattooed men, fem boys, and  gender blurrs. "This Body" features a lot of different, well, bodies. I think it sends a great message to her fans that everyone can be in love with their body, and there's gonna be someone out there who's just as in love with it too.

The camp factor helps get this point across pretty well. For most of the video, Manila is dressed as an old woman, and she makes it sexy. Manila has always been the perfect mix of sex appeal and camp, and she's never proven that moreso than with this video. Real-life bestie Raja makes an appearance in the video too, reminding us all that a TV show brought together two great friends who have stood the test of time.
