Cute as a Button

I can't quite pinpoint what it was about Björk, but from the moment I first saw her in a music video on MTV in the 80s, she captivated me. Though I don't recall the specific video—this wasn't the one—I remember feeling rather drawn to her. Maybe it was her quirkiness, or perhaps the contrast between her innocent demeanor and the undercurrent of untamed sensuality that intrigued me. I found myself utterly fascinated by her. Her voice, her distinct style, the raw emotion she poured into every performance. It just worked for me. Björk's music was also right up my alley. It came across as bold, unconventional, and entirely out of the mainstream, which I loved. Each song was like an adventure, like riding on a magic musical carousel where every turn took me somewhere new, unexpected and exciting. I know Björk isn't everyone's cup of tea—whether musically or otherwise—but I've always thought she was cute as a button. And dare I say, strikingly attractive in her own wonderfully unconventional way. She's truly one a kind. What do you think of Björk? Have you ever heard her music before?

Yes, I've heard her but I can't say that she captivates me.

@Danielclark691 Hey, how could I miss her? I think she's a cutie. In her own way of course. But she definitely strikes my fancy, although this is a picture of her when she was much younger.

Hers is a face I have always been quite familiar with.

I will admit, I thought she was cute in her own weird way. And as far as her music goes, I didn't hate it, but didn't love it either.

@moffittjc As they say, there's a match for everyone and everyone has different tastes.

For some reason I always found her kind of hot. But "in a weird way" is a good way of putting it. Not like Kristen Bell hot. But still hot. Maybe I am simply weird, who knows? lol. Either way, I do like her look and of course, also her music. But I also have rather eclectic taste in music, and even my own original music is not at all in the mainstream, so I guess it fits for me.

I can't say I know anything about her but I wonder where the saying 'cute as a button' came from. I'll have to go down the rabbit-hole I guess.

That's a good question, and good fodder for a post when you find the origin of that. It is a weird thing to say, though. I mean, have you ever encountered a cute button? I haven't. lol

@porwest Exactly. So I wonder how it came about. I'll add it to my list of possible topics! lol

@JudyEv Sometimes phrases just make sense to say them, even if they don't make sense when you say them. lol

I don’t know if this photo is current or old but if it’s current she doesn’t age. I know of the singer but can’t recall any of her songs for some reason.

This is definitely an older photo of her. She's 59 now. But I'd say she still looks good for her age, although not as young and vibrant. I put a YouTube link to one of her songs when she was part of The Sugarcubes.

@lovebuglena It was a huge hit in the 80s, but of course, had a particular audience. I don't remember if it got a lot of radio airplay, but it certainly got a lot of attention on MTV. She's extremely popular, having an estimated net worth of $215 million, so she definitely sells records.

She's definitely got her own thing going. She's done pretty well for herself too, having a net worth of over $215 million. Not a bad gig.

Björk is quirky, and definitely cute. But is she as cute as Noosha Fox? Hmmmm

She still performs and is quite active, although she did pull back from extensive touring some years back, but still records music.
