I’ve never been a fan of Christina Aguilera or her music. So, it took me a long time to decipher why her persona in the music video for Dirrty (2022) got so stuck in my head that I decided to portray her. Come to think of it, in Dirrty, my generation saw Christina in a way that I don’t think we had seen a pop star yet. We had seen pop stars being cute and even seductive or sexy, but not so overtly dirty or rough. The music video for Dirrty showed us Christina as an almost completely new and extremely bold character that was not just evidently sexually charged, but also presented in a way that, at least in that industry, was not associated with female sexuality—with her dirty-looking hair and skin, her unglamorous outfits and sets, and her aggressive singing and dancing and associations with boxing and fighting. Back when I was a teenager and this video came out, all of these things seemed jarring. Who would have known that, now that I’m an adult and with my current nightlife habits, Christina’s call to get hot and get dirty would seem so much closer to my tastes.
