I’m always pretty skeptical about Rolling Stone, especially when it comes to the cover story.
I think Shakira’s time has passed. What was the hit? “Hips Don’t Lie” or something like that? How long ago was it?
It’s been too long since hips started speaking truth again. I think the novelty has worn off. Am I out of touch? The whole latin-infused-cliched-innuendo pop thing comes in waves. It won’t go away completely, but I get the impression that it’s a flavor-of-the-month ordeal.
She Wolf? Really? She’s all about the women, all about being a feminist, yet her image is solely based on sex appeal? Not to mention her last English album was titled Oral Fixation, Vol. 2.
It reminds me of the Rolling Stone’s Sasha Grey story–a piece about a porn star who portrays a high class escort in Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience. She says she does porn to send a message to women, to inspire liberation. How many women are getting that message?
