If anyone really expected her to never change her look or personality/attitude, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

I mentioned something about people changing a few days ago, and have been thinking some more about it. I had said I wasn't the same person I had been in the past, but it's not a 100% difference. I have changed over time but my basic traits haven't. I suspect that though Alizée may not totally be the same person she was 12, 10, or 1 year(s) ago, what's inside her that influences her outlooks and how she treats others never changes and is the part we all perceive to be there, that draws us to be fans. Parts of her image may be manufactured, but I think it's been analyzed and scrutinized so much over the years that what we (I) think to be the 'real' Alizée is probably pretty close. Close enough for me.

As I've said before, she's a person too and has to deal with life like everyone, though her issues probably differ considerably from mine.

As far as the pictures we're discussing... I've never been a fan of what I call trying too hard. You see it all the time in our society, and many people may like it. I was not really impressed with the choice of the photo for the ACDLA single cover, I think she can stand on her natural looks just fine. As far as the 'picture on the right' goes, she doesn't need to be going with a 'bad girl', 'trailer park' or whatever it's called look. Sure, she can do whatever she wants and how she does her hair or makeup won't affect my sense of who she is. But it may give me ideas about how she perceives herself. But what do I know about what's popular?

Oops, this is a tattoo thread. Sorry. Seems I keep getting them mixed up.
