As the frontwoman of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O is an inferno of energy and gold lamé. Perhaps you have loved her since the early 2000s, but want to take your devotion to the next level. Here are the steps to direct your ablutions in honor of Karen O:
1. Turn on the taps, wearing a onesie (crushed velvet preferred) and leggings (metallic preferred). Rip your clothes to shreds while the tubs fills. Remember to hiss. (Fever to Tell should be playing in the background.)
2. Take a swig of beer, now spit it back at yourself in the bathroom mirror. (Queue up Show Your Bones start to finish.)
3. I hope you’ve brought grapes. Time to crush them with your teeth then spit them onto people out your third story balcony. Are you mostly naked because you tore up all your clothes? Good. (Is Is to play in its entirety.)
4. Add glitter. And face paint. To the water (which should be scalding) or your body or everywhere. (It’s Bliss)
5. But then, wait, the water cools. It’s pleasant even though you never forget the chaos lurking under the surface. Ease into the water. Be gentle. Imagine a child surrendering to a nap. (You dream of the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack.)
6. But really, you know what you have to do…
7. Clog the drain with electrical wires, smash all the glass you can find, crack every porcelain fixture. Roar.
