General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vanessa's Image
« on: March 22, 2006, 11:41:28 pm »
I was looking through an old magazine when I found an article from '03 with a small reference to Vanessa, which reads:
According to Vanessa Carlton, many fans are sick of seeing female artists half naked, and now want something different. "That's tired, that marketing of girls in a way to make young people drool. I can wear clothing on every part of my body and feel just as sexy as if i was wearing a bra and panties."
Vicki Gordon, Vanessa's marketing director, believes truly talented artists will always make it- regardless of how much flesh they choose to display. "Vanessa's market is very much the Avril Lavigne market," Vicki says. "She's not a manufactured artist; she has an extrodinary gift. Vanessa is also an artist who presents herself as she is. She's not someone who sells herself through sex, she sells herself through her talent."
I am interested to know what you think Vanessa's image is, and how this relates to her career, and her forthcoming album's success...
