The tables turn when the underdog Ngaiire gives her adversary a taste of her own medicine in the video for "Dirty Hercules," the first official single off her her debut album, Lamentations. Don't let the dress or lack of dress fool you, as Ngaiire says this was a video about taking back power, and not about sexuality. As she states:
" This clip is not supposed to be sexy. I wanted it to represent the struggle between two women and to the covetous aspect of human nature especially in regards to women and the need to be skinnier, taller, fitter, BETTER, more successful. The rope represents the tangled mind games we can play with each other and ourselves. My body is not conventional. I have a rather prominent scare [sic] across my stomach from cancer, I have thunder thighs, I have a booty, I have big tits. Stripping off next to a an extremely fit dancer was not only daunting but extremely empowering. I struggled alot with my body after I beat cancer and this clip also represents that journey to acceptance. My hope through this is that you are also empowered! "
Check under the cut and see for your self.
