My Favorite Thing Today: Pink & Channing Tatum Dance In Drag "Beautiful Trauma"

Channing Tatum and Pink

Easily my favorite thing today, Pink's new music video, "Beautiful Trauma," co-starring Channing Tatum is just about everything you could want in a video.

Framed in candy-colored fifties flair, the duo play a married couple who break into Fred & Ginger dance with ease, and all seems to be suburban perfection.

But what lies underneath reveals much more as Pink finds Channing experimenting with some cross-dressing fun.

Fearlessly challenging gender-norms, Channing twirls in a gorgeous gown as Pink wears gangster like a champ. A touch of lipstick for Channing and the kids are ready to kick up their heels.

What follows it what usually happens with dress-up playtime, multiple martinis and a friendly leather-clad playmate (played by dancer Nikki Tuazon).

As I've written before, I'm a huge fan of Pink and the song, "Beautiful Trauma," is another richly-woven pop-song from one of our top talents in music today.

And seriously, who wouldn't want to frolic with the ever-game Channing Tatum?

Watch below. This definitely brightened my day :)

This new public service announcement serves as a touching blueprint for moms and dads who might feel concern as their kids go house to house on Halloween as, say, "Batman" and "Wonder Woman."

For those who get concerned about so-called "gender norms," just remember - the kids are pretending no matter who they choose to dress as.
