<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#800000;">La France : une alternative à la domination de la chanson anglo-saxonne</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Les hit-parades et les saisons sont complètement décalés cette année : alors que toute l&#8217;Allemagne se gèle, <em>Aserejè</em>, le tube de l&#8217;été, continue imperturbablement à caracoler en tête des classements des ventes, et des hordes d&#8217;individus bleus de froid s&#8217;efforcent toujours en claquant des dents d&#8217;en chanter le refrain <em>(&#8220;Aserejè ja de jè de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva majavi an de bugui an de budidipi&#8221;)</em> sans se tromper &#8211; ce qui devrait encore les occuper jusqu&#8217;à Noël.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;"><!--more--><em>Novembre toute l&#8217;année</em>, qui ouvre l&#8217;album <em>Rose Kennedy</em> (Virgin), est davantage de saison. A 29 ans, <strong>Benjamin Biolay</strong> a déclenché avec ce titre une sorte d&#8217;hystérie collective en France. Il est désormais considéré comme le nouveau <strong>Serge Gainsbourg</strong>, ce qui dans ce pays représente sans aucun doute le plus grand des compliments, et passe pour le sauveur de la chanson française, bien qu&#8217;il déclare lui-même ne rien avoir en commun avec <em>&#8220;la daube à la Jacques Brel&#8221;</em>.<br />
Malgré son manque de respect pour ses ancêtres musicaux, Biolay confère un nouvel éclat à un art qui menaçait de disparaître chez les chanteuses de cabaret fumeuses de Gitanes &#8211; la chanson française. Son album marque la renaissance de cette France brillante, ultrasophistiquée, qui associe un proaméricanisme hystérique à un antiaméricanisme étudié et que nul n&#8217;a aussi bien représentée que Serge Gainsbourg avec ses <em>Bonnie and Clyde</em>, <em>Love on the Beach</em> ou <em>Harley-Davidson</em>. Comme lui, Biolay est ouvert au monde entier et sa musique mixe toutes les influences.<br />
L&#8217;Allemagne est à son tour en train de découvrir Biolay et, avec lui, les représentants d&#8217;un nouveau mouvement musical comme on n&#8217;en a pas vu depuis longtemps. Oliver Fröschke et Rolf Witteler viennent de réaliser une compilation des meilleures sorties françaises intitulée <em>Le pop &#8211; Les chansons de la nouvelle scène française.</em><br />
Tout est parti de Nantes en 1992, avec la sortie du premier album de <strong>Katerine</strong> et <strong>Dominique A.</strong> On a ensuite vu se multiplier les groupes et les artistes qui, contrairement aux produits de disco-pop comme Alizée, écrivent et jouent eux-mêmes leur musique. Dominique A. est devenu le parrain de cette nouvelle scène : il écrit des textes pour son ex-compagne <strong>Françoiz Breut</strong>. On retrouve dans les titres de cette artiste les grandes envolées qui existent déjà chez Biolay, avec violons et pathos orchestral. Françoiz Breut est aux années 2000 ce que Françoise Hardy était aux années 1960.<br />
Voilà longtemps qu&#8217;on n&#8217;avait pas expérimenté, cité et mélangé diverses influences avec autant de tempérament que la <em>nouvelle scène*</em>. Ce mouvement, mais aussi <strong>Air</strong>, <strong>Daft Punk</strong> et <strong>Alizée</strong>, <strong>Manu Chao</strong> et le groupe plus ancien <strong>Noir Désir</strong> &#8211; dont <em>Le vent nous portera</em> résonne également sur les radios allemandes &#8211; donnent à la scène musicale française un rôle central comparable à ce qui se passe en littérature avec <strong>Michel Houellebecq</strong> et <strong>Frédéric Beigbeder</strong>, ou au cinéma avec <em><strong>Le Fabuleux Destin d&#8217;Amélie Poulain</strong>.</em><br />
La France est, politiquement autant qu&#8217;esthétiquement, en passe de présenter un contre-projet à l&#8217;omniprésence si souvent invoquée d&#8217;une culture populaire marquée par l&#8217;Amérique &#8211; ce qui va d&#8217;ailleurs au-delà d&#8217;une attaque confuse du néolibéralisme américain. L&#8217;une des meilleures chansons de Françoiz Breut s&#8217;appelle <em>Portsmouth </em>et Biolay en chante une intitulée <em>Los Angeles</em>. Et c&#8217;est justement dans ces morceaux, où le rêve américain trouve une résonance dans la langue française &#8211; s&#8217;effondrant en miettes pour être ensuite rassemblé -, qu&#8217;on entend le meilleur de la modernité.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">These days I&#8217;m trying a different approach to dressing and to style:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Simple, minimal, pure&#8211; these are the kinds of descriptions</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I&#8217;m going for.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Also, I&#8217;ve noticed that I never blog about</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">inspirations from the past- I&#8217;m always caught up in what&#8217;s the <em>now</em> and</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">that I can learn from.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Ако не си опитвал екзотичната напитка <em>Horchata</em>, то <strong>Vampire Weekend</strong> я поднасят с новия си сингъл <a href="http://bit.ly/JZ65J">Horchata</a>. Декемврийската песен на нюйоркчаните се закача със зимата и съобщава  за реализирането на втория им албум <em>CONTRA</em>. Датата е <strong>12 януари</strong>, а бандитите обещават познатия меланж на закачлив инди-поп с оптимиситични африкански мотиви. Припомняме, че дебютният им албум беше вървежен за хипстърите по цял свят и се надяваме, новата хава да не е суха едноднвка.<img class="alignnone" src="http://thinkcontra.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/vampire-weekend-banner_contra.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="285" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Брменната <strong>Roisin Murphy</strong>, освен първото си бебе, носи в утробата на 2009 три нови сингъла. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/audio/2009/nov/10/download-roisin-murphy-orally-fixated"><strong>Orally fixated</strong></a> гръмна с нетипичния за Roisin саунд, с което разочаорва доста заклети молоковци, привикнали на ортодоксалното трип-хоп звучене.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://audioporncentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/roisin.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="470" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Robert Pattinson</strong> стои безупречно в образа на Салвадор Дали във филма <strong><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104083/">Little Ashes</a></strong>, което потвърждава становището, че всеки добър актьор непременно трябва да се снима в размътена боза като Twilight, за да бъде признат световно. Little Ashes не е само сюрреалистична картина, а пресъздава криволичещата любов между Дали и испанския поет и драматург Федерико Лорка.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://web.orange.co.uk/images/ice/film/little_ashes.jpg" alt="" width="484" height="273" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Вдъхновението, било то през Дали, Ройшин или Патинсън, е зареждащо и значимо. <em>Маргиналите</em> в изкуството и шоубизнеса са най-запомнящи се, поради безбариерността си. За липсата на граници, за съзнанието, творчеството и мозъка &#8211; една интересна <a href="http://www.sthapatyaveda-bg.com/video/lynch_en_01oct2005_125.wmv">видео-презентация</a> от турнето на Дейвид Линч във водещи университети в САЩ.За край &#8211; един френски славей, чиято музика звучи модерно дори излезнала от плочите.</p>

<description><![CDATA[A few paragraphs in her enthralling autobiography (Le Désespoir des Singes et autres Bagatelles, Edi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><!-- 		@page { margin: 2cm } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->A few paragraphs in her enthralling autobiography (<em>Le Désespoir des Singes et autres Bagatelles</em>, Editions Robert Laffont 2008) reveal Françoise Hardy&#8217;s admiration for late English singer/songwriter, Nick Drake. Since his first album, she tells us, she&#8217;d loved his work. An unusually kind and generous soul, Françoise seized every opportunity to enthuse about Nick&#8217;s music to every journalist, promoter or associated decision-former she encountered.</p>
<p>Nick heard of this, and turned up at the London recording studio where Françoise was working on a new record. There he spent hours sitting on the floor watching, listening, without uttering a word.  The language barrier proved <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1255" title="Nick Drake" src="http://minniebeaniste.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nick-drake.jpg" alt="Nick Drake" width="369" height="369" />insuperable so little progress was made in forging a new friendship. At least apparently &#8211; for late in 1972 Nick &#8216;phoned Françoise: he was passing through Paris and would like to see her.  That evening Françoise was due to attend a cabaret presented by a fellow singer, among a noisily cheerful, Champagne-swilling crowd of mutual acquaintances. Hardly Nick Drake&#8217;s scene. He maintained an impenetrable &#8211; although far from either hostile or sulky &#8211; silence throughout. An essentially shy and reserved person herself, Françoise was concerned for Nick. But she felt it best to respect his wish to be left alone -  and also feared that it might be insensitive to break through his mute barrier.</p>
<p>Françoise couldn&#8217;t fathom why Nick had visited her. What did he want? It only occurred to her decades later that Nick might have had a more personal interest in <em>her</em>.  But less than two years after his visit to Paris Nick&#8217;s mother &#8216;phoned Françoise: Nick had died, aged 26.  Despite the shock the sudden death of a young person always inflicts, Françoise&#8217;s conclusion was that Nick&#8217;s growing despondency could only have had one outcome. And, whether his death was a result of accident or suicide,  so it sadly proved.</p>
<p>Françoise wonders whether success might have reversed his progress towards oblivion, while simultaneously entertaining a suspicion that there might have been something within Nick which insisted upon denying him the recognition he so clearly deserved. Briefly, she considers a form of autism as an explanation for Nick&#8217;s excessive introversion. Then, perhaps more realistically, opts for a vulnerability based on sensitivity so extreme that even the slightest most casual discourtesy could cause him pain. Author <a href="http://www.philrickman.com/" target="_blank">Phil Rickman</a>, magical weaver of mysterious patterns combining harsh contemporary realities with ancient truths,  features Nick and the songs as a constant reference point and near-presence in his Merrily Watkins series of &#8217;spiritual procedurals&#8217;.  In a private message to me Phil offered his own view that Nick suffered from an unusually extreme form of shyness.</p>
<p>None of us will ever know, so it&#8217;s pointless to speculate. Perhaps one of Françoise Hardy&#8217;s most haunting and poignantly beautiful songs might serve as a tribute to the impulse that compelled Nick to contact her.  <em>Fais moi une place</em> was written for that handsome exponent of passionate intensity, Julien Clerc, for whom it was a deserved success. Yet for me his version &#8211; however good &#8211; somehow doesn&#8217;t sound <em>right</em>.  It doesn&#8217;t exactly <em>cloche</em>; but it definitely <em>sonne faux</em>. So I was delighted to discover, thanks to YouTube, that Françoise recorded her own version. The orchestration may be a touch overpowering, but the melody and lyrics really do come into their own.<em> Merci infiniment, Françoise</em> &#8211; and here&#8217;s to the memory of Nick Drake:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>On Woman&#8217;s Hour they are talking about Coco Chanel and now Francoise Hardy is singing about<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQGNpRnFNgM"> her friend the rose</a> and also, I imagine, about withering away, decay and death (must learn French) and I’d like to be in Paris right now, more precisely with the cherubs and the nymphs on Pont Alexandre III, because over-the-top art nouveau is the perfect antidote to dreary autumn weather and that vacant feeling left by the long-gone melancholy glamour of the 60’s. And in Paris quality red wine is mandatory. Steel constructions and stone ornaments filtered through a red-wine haze is what makes it so beautiful.</p>
<p>But I’m not in Paris. I am sitting at home, eating lunch consisting of chai tea and riesen chocolate while wrestling with Mikhail Bakhtin. Actually it’s a bit of a triangle drama between me, Bakhtin and Milan Kundera. Francoise is cheerleading, although it’s not clear whose side she is on. Possibly on Dostoevsky’s. He is also here, standing in the corner, with his polyphonic novel, looking terribly misunderstood.</p>
<p>Milan Kundera says “The novelist is neither historian nor prophet: he is an explorer of existence” and “existence is not what has occurred, existence is the realm of human possibilities, everything that man can become, everything he is capable of.”</p>
<p>And I think, really, are we not all explorers of existence? At least our own existence. I think I’m going to put that on my business card either way. <em>Explorer of existence and gratifier of human mankind. Charges on a pro rata basis. </em>And Francoise sings<em> j&#8217;ai besoin d&#8217;espoir sinon je ne suis rien</em> which I think I will use as an advertising slogan (really, must learn French).</p>
<p>I clearly have nothing of importance to talk about. So bye. <em>Au revoir, a bientot mes amis.</em></p>
<p>ps.<em> </em>If you google &#8220;I&#8217;m not in Paris&#8221;the first hit is <em>Paris Hilton: </em><em>I&#8217;m Not Stupid and </em><em>I&#8217;m Not a Slut. </em>My first thought is &#8220;what a strange world we live in&#8221; because you would think that Paris-the-city would be of higher importance than Paris-the-whateveritisthatsheis. And my second thought is &#8220;how lucky I am that I don&#8217;t have to point out the fact that I&#8217;m not stupid nor a slut to anyone.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GCBBBm-ik7Q/RsIpJ6pPfmI/AAAAAAAAAEI/rA1CxMqWVEY/s320/FrontBlog.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Naar aanleiding van het stuk over <a title="Five Leaves Left" href="http://peerke3.wordpress.com/2009/10/09/nick-drake-five-leaves-left/">Five Leaves Left </a>vroeg Mie me: “Drake zou songs geschreven hebben voor Françoise Hardy? Weet jij daar meer over Peerke?” </p>
<p>Zoals met zovele dingen in het leven van Nick Drake is de informatie schaars. Naar gelang de bron lopen de verhalen sterk uiteen. Volgens sommigen hadden Nick en Françoise een relatie en woonden ze maandenlang samen. Anderen menen dan weer dat hij enkel – net als zovele jongens in de jaren zestig – verliefd was op de mooie zangeres. Vast staat dat ze mekaar een paar keer hebben ontmoet.</p>
<p>De eerste keer was in het begin van de jaren zeventig. Producer Joe Boyd wou de acts op zijn label Witchseason wat meer bekendheid bezorgen door te trachten wat covers van hun songs te laten opnemen door bekende artiesten. Mogelijk om contractuele redenen koos hij er niet voor om simpelweg wat nummers van Fairport Convention, The Incredible String Band en Nick Drake op één elpee bij elkaar te persen. In plaats daarvan boekte hij, in juli 1970, wat studiotijd en huurde een paar sessiezangers in. Een daarvan zijn eigen vriendin, Linda Peters – die later bekend zou worden als de vrouw van Richard Thompson &#8211; en de ander Reginald Dwight. Die stond pas aan het begin van zijn carrière als Elton John en overleefde in de tussentijd door het coveren van succesvolle songs voor goedkope verzamelaars.</p>
<p>Er werden een honderdtal acetaten geperst en naar potentiële klanten gestuurd. Een van de weinigen die reageerden was de Franse zangeres Françoise Hardy. Ze liet Boyd weten dat ze de songs van Nick Drake prachtig vond en dat ze graag wou dat hij wat nummers voor haar zou schrijven. Er werd afgesproken dat ze haar zouden komen opzoeken in Parijs. Dat bezoek verliep echter in mineur. Aangekomen in het appartement op het Ile St. Louis trok Drake zich terug in zijn schulp. &#8220;Hij zei geen woord,” verklaart Hardy in de documentaire A Skin Too Few.<br />
“Het was uiterst pijnlijk,” bevestigt Boyd in zijn boek White Bicycles. “Nick zat daar, met het hoofd naar beneden. Hij sipte aan zijn thee en sprak geen woord. Ik moest de pijnlijke stilte opvullen.”<br />
Uiteindelijk werd toch overeengekomen dat hij enkele songs voor haar zou schrijven en dat ze die dan in Londen zou komen opnemen. Er werd alvast tijd geboekt in Studio Sound Techniques (de studio van geluidstechnicus John Wood, waar alle platen van Nick zijn opgenomen).</p>
<p>Maar dan kreeg Boyd een aanbod om voor Warner Brothers te gaan werken in Californië. Het aanbod was te mooi om te laten schieten. Hij verkocht Witchseason aan Island Records, maar liet wel uitdrukkelijk in het contract opnemen dat de platen van Nick Drake nooit uit omloop mogen worden genomen.</p>
<p>Een van de muzikanten die zijn ingehuurd voor de opname van de elpee van Françoise is Jerry Donahue, de gitarist bij de band van Sandy Denny, Fotheringay. Hij bevestigt dat Nick een keer naar de opnamen kwam kijken: &#8220;Toen we Françoise’s plaat aan het opnemen waren, kwam Nick Drake langs. Hij zat naast me in de controlekamer. Ik probeerde een beetje met hem te babbelen, maar de conversatie viel telkens stil. Elke keer ik hem een vraag stelde trok hij zijn wenkbrauwen op. Zijn ogen werden groter en het was alsof hij zich inspande om gepast te reageren. In de aard van &#8216;Ik moet hier iets doen – iemand heeft me aangesproken en een vraag gesteld. Ik zal mijn best doen om iets te antwoorden.&#8217;<br />
Als hij dan een antwoord had gegeven, hulde hij zich terug in stilte, zodat ik me weer verplicht voelde om weer een vraag te stellen. En dan begon het weer van voor af aan. Het was bizar. Ik heb nooit iemand anders zo weten reageren. Het was niet dat hij onvriendelijk was. Je voelde gewoon dat je de man voor een probleem stelde door hem een vraag te stellen. Ik vond dat hij het erg moeilijk had met zichzelf. Je kon hem onmogelijk doorgronden, zeker bij zo een korte ontmoeting.”<br />
Wanneer de Engelstalige plaat If You Listen begin 1972 verscheen, stonden er geen nummers op van Nick Drake. Al hangt zijn geest wel duidelijk merkbaar over de plaat, die covers bevat van Beverley Martin, Buffy Ste Marie, Randy Newman en Neil Young).</p>
<p>Als hij al songs voor haar had geschreven, dan had hij die zeker voor zichzelf gehouden, want in oktober 1971 nam hij zijn derde en laatste elpee op: Pink Moon. Toen ook die geruisloos verdween zakte de jongeman helemaal weg in een depressie. Hij overwoog om iets anders te gaan doen: misschien het leger of iets in computers … Uiteindelijk keerde hij terug naar het ouderlijk huis, al voelde hij zich zelfs daar een buitenstaander.</p>
<p>In 1974 leek het wat beter met hem te gaan. In februari en juni nam hij een handvol songs op. Al ging het nog erg moeizaam. Hij slaagde er niet meer in om tegelijkertijd te zingen en gitaar te spelen.<br />
Begin oktober ging hij in op een uitnodiging van enkele vrienden om bij hen in Parijs te komen wonen, in een boot op de Seine.<br />
Wanneer hij daar een paar weken was, besloot hij Françoise Hardy te gaan opzoeken. Misschien omdat zij een van de weinigen was die ooit haar waardering voor hem had uitgesproken. Maar wanneer hij aanbelde aan haar appartement herkende hij de stem aan de parlofoon niet. Hij stamelde: “Het is Nick… Nick…” en keerde op zijn stappen terug.</p>
<p>Begin november keerde hij terug naar huis. Hij wou er zijn Frans verbeteren en dan terugkeren. Vier weken later echter, op 24 november 1974, trof zijn moeder zijn levensloze lichaam aan, op het bed in zijn kamer. Hij is overleden aan een overdosis slaaptabletten.</p>
<p>Françoise Hardy sprak voor het eerst over Nick Drake met Patrick Humphries. Die citeert haar in het artikel Brief Encounter in Mojo 39 (februari 1997) “Wat mij betreft behoorde hij niet tot een bepaalde Britse strekking: zijn stijl was heel anders dan die van The Beatles, the Stones en al die andere groepen waar ik toen naar luisterde. Het is zijn ziel die spreekt in zijn song die me zo diep weet te raken – romantisch, poetisch… maar ook die verfijnde melodieën. En dan is er ook nog dat zeer speciale timbre in zijn stem, die nog meer de melancholie accentueert. Nick scheen verlegen – hij was het ook ongetwijfeld. Hij was zo in zichzelf gekeerd dat het mij achteraf enorm verbaast dat hij me twee, drie keer is komen opzoeken. Zelfs al wist hij hoe zeer ik zijn enorme talent waardeerde. Er was nooit veel communicatie tussen ons, maar ik had de indruk dat het besef dat hij werd geapprecieerd, bewonderd, hem vertrouwen gaf. En dat het gevoel dat zijn zwijgzame aanwezigheid geaccepteerd werd, was genoeg voor hem.”</p>

Desde a primeira vez que vi Kim Gordon, ela era só atitude, não no sentido pejorativo que às vezes essa plaavra apresenta, mas sim atitude como a palavra que atualiza uma outra: elegância. Sempre vestindo comprimentos curtíssimos de saia e empunhado o baixo do Sonic Youth, banda fundamental da década de 80 e 90, ela era um contrapeso contra ou a virilidade excessiva (meio básica demais, meio cafona de menos) de certas bandas de rock da época ou o estilo não-estou-nem-aí-pro-que-visto e sujinho, que resultaria no look grunge, e disseminado em muitas bandas importantes da época.<br />
Seu potencial fashion a levou a uma amizade importante com Marc Jacobs. No auge do grunge (é importante resaltar que Sonic Youth apesar de relações estreitas com diversas bandas de Seattle, entre elas, o Nirvana, eles nunca foram grunge), <a href="http://dusinfernus.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/ainda-marc-jacobs/">a banda grava o clipe &#8220;Sugar Kane&#8221; tocando na loja do estilista, com Chloë Sevigny como protagonista</a>. Sem falar que o próprio estilista a convidou para estrelar uma de suas campanhas sempre fotografadas por  Juergen Teller.<br />

No ano passado, ela lançou uma grife para mães ou mulheres mais velhas que não queriam roupas muito clássicas. A <a href="http://www.mirrordash.com/index.html">Mirror/Dash</a> (nome também de um dos inúmeros projetos paralelos de Kim) foi criada em parceria com os amigos Melinda Wansbrough e Jeffrey Monterio. Sua primeira criação foi o uma jaqueta de lã estilo militar inspirado em Françoise Hardy. Ela mesma foi a maior garota propaganda da peça.<br />

Sua marca vai bem obrigada, já para o verão 2009 criou peças para a Urban Outfitters, mas essa não é natureza desse post <a href="http://www.style.com/video/fashion-moments/fashion-moments/1896809784/kim-gordon/25320495001">e sim tentar desenhar a sua postura, muito através do estilo e da moda</a>, na cena rock sempre tão machista. Contra a lógica de que para ocupar terrenos masculinos, as mulheres tem que ter comportamentos masculinos (no rock, muito bem representado pelas Riot Grrrls e Courtneys da vida), Kim nunca deixa sua feminilidade de lado, mesmo quando tem que gritar e esbravejar.<br />

E não tenho dúvidas que a questão moda + atitude agem de maneira positiva para sua afirmação como legítima persona rock&#8217;n roll em um terreno tipicamente comandado pelos homens.<br />
Penso em <a href="http://rraurl.com/blogs/the_clash/1460/Entrevista_Christian_Joy">Karen O.</a>, mas não sei se ela usa seus figurinos de palco ousados, femininos, abusados no dia-a-dia, assim como fazem os nossos abravanados que não diferenciam a roupa para cada ocasião ou papel social. Mas penso ainda mais em Lovefoxxx. Ela eu sei que como Kim, o que veste é tanto na vida real como no palco. Não quero dizer que a transfiguração ou a criação de um figurino tenha menor valor do que um look mais orgânico, mas na questão das mulheres no rock, com certeza esse é um valor em si para imprimir a feminilidade em um primeiro plano (longe das groupies) em um ambiente totalmente masculino.<br />
