Katy Perry A Doll, But Not In Hannah Montana Way |

Many have said that Katy Perry is a doll, and now she literally Is a doll. Perry collaborated with fashion designer Jason Wu for creation of a 12 inch-tall doll, which will be sold worldwide in a limited edition likeness retailing for $49.99 from Integrity Toys. Fans can pre-order it from integritytoys.com. Katys image will be from the "I Kissed A Girl" video, attired with her belted gold mini dress with accordion-pleated skirt.
This isn't what she had in mind when she talked about being a role model for girls. She talked about being looked upon to set an example.
"I do music not to be a poster child for what's good, or 'follow me.' I just do music because it's in me. As far as being a role model, I'm probably not the best one, but I think the sexual tone just comes from the confidence I have in music, and confidence is sexy. I think it's sexy to confident about who you are and what you believe and how your look is on life. I don't want really all that responsibility. That's not my life goal with my music. I just want to tell stories. I do miss the true rock stars of the world. You hear all these stories about bands of the eighties, bands in the seventies, like Stevie Nicks. I don't want to go down that path at all, but like 'rock and roll.' Sometimes I appreciate those girls that want to be role models, like Hannah Montana. That's awesome because the music industry needs that, especially for young, young girls. I'm kind of a bad, bad girl...but I'm not. I don't want to be that necessarily, but Cest La Vie."
Meanwhile, Katy Perry's latest album, One Of The Boys, has been certified gold for sales of over 500,000 copies by the Recording Industry Association of America. Her new single is "Hot N Cold".

She can play guitar by the way. Anyways, who says guitar is just for rock?
Her songs are pretty catchy. And she's fit.

I agree, man. I mean...Katy Perry doesn't even KNOW how to play guitar. And guitar shouldn't be for Pop Music even if Katy Perry plays guitar. Look how low Hannah Montana is putting guitars and making them look so bad when she holds them. And don't get me started on that disney channel horror movie "Camp Rock."POSTED: 10/07/2008 - 02:44 pm / quote |

two things to say to this:
She can play guitar, I know I've seen her do it.
As for the pop music comment, two words: The Beatles.
Guitar is an important part of pop music, get used to it.POSTED: 10/07/2008 - 03:51 pm / quote |

No, Katy Perry, the sexual tone comes from you singing a song about kissing a girl. Are you completely retarded?POSTED: 10/07/2008 - 06:35 pm / quote |

: I'd be justified in deleting every comment made so far but I won't.
If you don't like this artist, don't read the article.
she can play guitar, it's used in her music. stop being so close minded.
any more comments bashing this artist/pop in general will receive a warning.

: =/ You guys disappoint me. You seem to have forgotten guitars are used more than just ROCK. Jeez, I may be about classic rock but I admire Katy Perry. She's not "selling out" as you say. She got dropped by a record twice but she still went on. You guys are being prejudiced. She knows how to play guitar. Go look it up. She writes meaningful stuff but not like you guys will take the time to listen to it. So take your trolling and go somewhere else. "LET'S ALL JOIN THE BANDWAGON!"POSTED: 03/15/2009 - 09:40 pm / quote |
