Oh. My. Word.
We at Dolores Delargo Towers always love discovering a new, and especially camp, wannabee diva from foreign climes!
And here's another one from that eternal melting-pot of pop-kitsch (think Svetlana Loboda, Asiya Akhat, Kamaliya (also here) or indeed the marvellous Kazaky) - the Ukraine.
She's blonde, she's brassy, she's completely and utterly bonkers - laydeez'n'gentlemen, here's Miss Olya Polyakova!!
In Russian Style, she gets her boys to show us how to keep warm in mid-winter - with lots of baby oil...
For some reason she was not picked to represent the Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 with Petal. Heaven knows why not...
She takes cartoon life to a level not seen since the heady days of Aqua with Shlepki:
And here is her newest single, Lioli, Lioli:
Which you must agree is classy.
Well, maybe not - but Miss Polyakova knocks loads of the other attitude-laden pop trash that haunts our charts into a cocked hat, as far as I am concerned!
Her country may have a terrible gay rights record (that Mr Elton John spoke out against) almost as bad as its neighbour Russia, but it seems the Ukraine is unbeatable for tackiness at the moment.
