Few pop artists are into modesty, but I couldn't help but notice that there's at least one that stands out, by not trying to. Afterall, she's a musician and if a musician is any good, it's really about the music, right? I don't know a whole lot about this artist, but I looked her up when I heard one of her songs in the store and couldn't help but enjoy it. She reminds me of a female Elvis Costello, but smarter, with more accessible melodies, themes and lyrics. Anyway, I'm not really into pop, but she's still my favorite pop artist, especially after listening to this song and watching this video, "Laughing With". The skirt would have been prettier and modest with a mid-calf hem and a bit more coverage on the top, but compared to the norm in pop culture, this is a radical leap in the right direction:
I hope and pray that more artists come out dressing more dignfied, taking some *(albeit small cues) from Miss Spektor.
It's funny, but it seems that all that hype with the shocking outfits seems a little gimmicky and pretentious, and in that way alienates in the very people their acts should be building up, not taking down and exploiting to sexual objects.
And you're right, no one's laughing...
