Horny holidays

Reindeer favouritism engenders resentment during holiday season

By Michael Lyons • December 24, 2013 2:45 pm EDT

Sexy Seattle boylesque troupe Mod Carousel, made popular by their (way better than the original) cover of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” are homo for the holidays.

This time, Paris Original, The Trojan Original and The Luminous Pariah teamed up with singer Leeni (all pictured above) for an adorable parody of Lorde’s “Royals,” depicting the inter-reindeer drama that inevitably comes with the holidays. Talk about ho ho hos!
