Dykons: T.A.T.U.
With last week’s news that Tatu might be on the verge of splitting up after a bitter power struggle, we thought it was time to remember why we fell in love with girls in the first place.
Name:
T.A.T.U.
Also known as:
Lena Katina and Julia Volkova, those Russian babes, lesbian Lolitas, Sapphic schoolgirls, etc
Not to be confused with:
Any other girl band you`ve ever known.
Last seen:
Snogging through an artfully arranged chainlink fence on a soundstage whilst recording their video for the single "All The Things She Said`.
Best feature:
Their look: pouty baby-dyke nymphette in faux school uniform (although no educational establishment worth their salt would allow mini-skirts that short).
Candy Bar or Kenric?
These chicks were made for the Candy Bar, in fact it`s only a matter of time until the Candy bar has a T.A.T.U. theme night.
Most likely to say:
Something coy in Russian whenever they are asked if they really are lesbians.
Least likely to say:
"The majestic and understated abstract minimalism of Philip Glass` orchestral filmscores, though widely imitated, never fails to float my boat."
Are they sistas?
They do a lot of snogging, hand-holding and swooning for the cameras, but some people think that this might be - gasp! - a publicity stunt. Who knows what they get up to behind closed doors? They`re only nippers after all. Both Lena and Julia sang in a group called Neposedy but Julia had to leave after she was accused of “obscene behaviour and corrupting other singers”. Oh yes, and Lena has a dog called Blankeria.
Do mention:
Their meteoric rise to fame. 1999 seems like only yesterday when Lena and Julia were auditioning alongside 500 other T.A.T.U. hopefuls on a chilly street in Moscow. Now they`re on magazine covers, they`re being gossiped about all over the place, and their new CD is likely to be a huge hit.
Don't mention:
The fact that 15 minutes of fame whizzes by mighty quickly these days.

The truth that could set souls free
Is buried within sweet pandemonium
Concealed by disbelief
The riddle stays veiled in sweet pandemonium
