Popping Culture: Ab Soto channels Toddlers & Tiaras

By Simon Thibault • April 23, 2012 3:12 am EDT

A little under two years ago, I came across this video:

“Banjee Power” by Ab Soto was fun and funky, a little bit DIY and a little bit street and very queer. This weekend, I came across a recent release by the artist, this time riffing and paying a little homage to Toddlers & Tiaras’ Alana, who is known for her catchphrase-worthy “Honey Boo BooChild” and her “Go Go Juice.”

I think this is a good way to start your Monday, don’t you?
