Thought I'd try breathing some life into this forum again.
Now obviously the girls in both the music videos for Queer and TMWIH are Shirley Manson, but I wanted to ask you guys whether not you think they are the same character.
Here's my theory. you be the judge of whether it seems legit:
The "Tell Me Where It Hurts" music video is a prequel to the "Queer" music video. Our heroine, played by Shirley, is a regular escort in this video and finds a client in a restaurant; A rather pretty, young adult male. They go to her hotel room but something goes wrong and he beats her. In retaliation, our heroine murders her client. At the end of the video we can see her suggestively, even slyly posing with the disguised corpse of her attacker.
This encounter has lead to our heroine becoming sadistic and deranged. She begins to find joy in deceiving young men with the false promise of a "good time" and then proceeding to humiliate and overpower them.
Here we reach the "Queer" music video, some time later. Our heroine has found a victim, entices him back to her place like an escort, and proceeds to tear his clothes, push him around, wrestle him to the floor, and shave his head. Victim has been successfully violated.
Note how her target both times are rather pretty, preppy young men. She is going after targets similar to her initial attacker. The reason I consider Tell Me Where It Hurts as the prequel despite it being made much later than Queer is because our heroine appears relatively normal, even somewhat innocent at the start of the video. The incident in the Tell Me Where It Hurts video is the one that changes her and twists her.
So what do you guys think?

I like your theory! Its feasible although the characters Shirley plays seem very different to me, although perhaps thats just because theres 12 years between them and the video aesthetic different.
Its a shame that even with the anniversary and 6th album next year that this forums so dead. The BeautifulGarbage forum was amazing, hundreds of regular users. Maybe itd help if the official website had a forum again. You going to any of the live shows in October?

I'd like to go see the one in Toronto, but i think it's in the middle of my midterms and I live in NS :\ I may be able to go if I do some serious string pulling.
