(59) I’m Macho
(59) I’m Macho. As waiter and flirt, in the music video for “I’m Macho” by The Meek.
In this lively dose of musical fun and gender-political mayhem, I caper and slink around as a leopardskin-clad nightclub waiter. Cast by Meredith Jacobson Marciano of Ameriflilm Casting, we filmed on far West 14th Street in the Meatpacking District, in a club called Mother—a transgender-beautified cocktail-quaffing venue at that time. My favourite rhyming couplet in the song’s lyrics is probably “I’m macho, I’m macho. / I’m cold, like gazpacho.” I’m sure straight male machismo will continue being just as ripe and comedic a target as it’s remained ever since this video.
