So yesterday I partied like it was 1999. Meaning, of course, I went to Lilith Fair. The show was great. The artists were great. There was such a great number of lesbians I thought maybe I got my dates wrong and stumbled on the Dyke March again instead. But no, it was just a bunch of amazing, amazing female performers who also happen to look amazing, amazing in tank tops. That is what I call a twofer. Though the one thing I did learn, I can’t bounce back from partying like it’s 1999 like I used to be able to in 1999. Hence, the lateness of my post. Please forgive me and my tired little brain.Sarah McLachlan
Oh, Sarah. Even though every time you sing these days I have to fight the urge to adopt a stray puppy, I still love you. You, in your tank top, is better than ice cream.
The Bangles
As a teen I wasn’t sure who it liked more – delicate, doe-eyed Susanna Hoffs or tough, guitar-slinging Vicki Peterson? Now, as an adult, I know – why choose?
Miranda Lambert
FYI, country music girls do not look bad in a tank top. Not at all.
Colbie Caillat
Well, something starts in my toes when I look at Colbie.
Heart
So, um, Fergie is wearing the tank top here. Proximity counts.
A Fine Frenzy
Red hair, everywhere.
And here are a few I wish were in my lineup.
Brandi Carlile
Metric
Janelle Monae
Yeah, I know this isn’t a tank top. But it’s only two days until Thursday. So consider Janelle a preview.
p.s. I think bikini tops should count as quasi tank tops. So now it’s a rule.
[Look for my full review of the showtomorrow this week on AfterEllen.com.]

Alright, you're forgiven. But only because there were so.many.tank tops. ;)
ReplyDeletei am thrilled to finally see someone write a post about Lilith Fair 2010! Feminist recording artists by and large (from my own perspective) don't seem to get the amount of coverage they are due. It's wonderful that you were there and had a great time. I loved so many of the artists from the last Lilith Fair. The photos are great! i love Sarah McLachlan, Susanna Hoffs, and OMG - Heart? i like Tegan and Sara and listening to Susanne Vega. Are Shawn Colvin (loved "When You know" and Mary Chapin Carpenter "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" not playing this year? Though like to wear really girly things myself, i agree completely that the women in the photos you posted really do look fabulous in their tank tops.
