Björk on VH1's Best Dressed 2000 Björk was featured on VH1's show Best Dressed 2000. As desribed by member Miss Bjorky: "Basically it talked about her evolving style and then small snippets of her saying that she is aware of how fashion can be used for many statements."

VH1 thinks Björk is oddly pleasurable - As relayed by member hyperb0mb: "i saw something on vh1 about that björk thing. They had sexiest popstar, which she wasn't in, and then right after that they had "most oddly pleasurable" in a sexual way... She got second place cause beck got first, but she was real close."
