[2010-01-05] Alizée in TECHNIKART Magazine

[lefty12357]

Yeah, it wouldn't serve Alizée's goals very well to come out with a new album and simply copy another artist's previous look. While this is a great cover photo for a magazine and it pays homage to an artist she has always been a fan of, it is not very original. I would bet she will present us with something more unique to define the "Alizée look" for the new album.

As I said, I'm looking forward to it. I hope it won't be too long before we get the first single. And I have to say it again, she looks absolutely beautiful !

Yes, to be honest I'm not too enthused by the image for this reason. I mean yeah she looks great, but there's not much reading into it. Like the "boy toy" belt that Deep pointed out doesn't mean much because it's just copying Madonna. I wonder what the inside images will be like. More Madonna copies? Totally original? Homages to different artists? The later would be interesting, the fact that she's someone else in every photo having it's own meaning.

according to this its out tomorrow?

Quelques twit’ de monsieur earlybird2001 m’ont mis la puce à l’oreille dans la journée. Ce petit teasing me laissait présagé un truc atypique, mais je dois dire que je ne m’attendais pas à voir Alizée déguisée en Madonna version eighties en couverture du Hors-Serie Musique. Apparemment il sortirait demain en kiosques, on en reparle après.

A few [tweets?] from mister earlybird2001 put a bug in my ear [during the course of the day?]. This little teasing foreshadowed something unusual, but I must say that I did not expect to see Alizée disguised as an eighties version of Madonna on the cover of Hors-Serie Musique. Apparently, it should come out tomorrow in the kiosks, we'll talk more about that afterward.

Dude, this is genius. I agree, that she does pull it off a whole lot better than Madonna does. It's such a tease.

I want to dance around to Vogue, now.

And I want some scans, STAT. XD

I think I might disagree here. I think she's doing more than copying Madonna. I think this might convey a number of subtle messages.

First, as I said, the title. Madonna wrote a song called "Who's That Girl?" in 1986. It appeared on the soundtrack of the movie with the same name. BUT -- this picture was not for that song. It was for a different Madonna song, "Like A Virgin." Why the mix and match of photo and title? I think Alizée is saying: don't assume you know me, just because you know my past. Who's that girl? Wait and see.

Second, the general tone of the picture, complete with "Boy Toy" belt -- very sexy, even a bit sluttish. If there is one thing about her image in the Psychédélices era that lagged, it was the (apparently deliberate) dampening of sex appeal. But then, the Mylène years saw Alizée perhaps overplaying that aspect (under Mylène's tutelage), complete with hints of pederasty. (In both Moi . . . Lolita and Gourmandises. Less so with the second album, but still pronounced sexuality.)

So with Psych she went full-throttle the other direction. Now this teaser, which seems to suggest that she is well aware of what a hot little number she is, and is not ashamed of it. But this is a Madonna mock-up, not an original Alizée. And Madonna, of course, is famous for scorching sexuality in performance and photos. So here she's saying, "Yes, I can do this, too. But in the end, I will have my own style. So don't necessarily expect this kind of thing, which is not that different from what I did for JEAM in its suggestiveness. This shows you that I won't hide my sexiness or run from it. But who's that girl? Again, don't assume you already know!" This because it IS a Madonna mock-up, not an original Alizée. Not real -- yet suggesting what the reality might be.

I realize that's a lot to take away from one photo, but I do see all of that suggested in it. I imagine the interview will clarify a lot of things.

I know this will rile up the purists, but man alive, one word and one word only decribes this picture. MILF! Jeez Us H, I'm speechless

Now before you start throwing tomato's, I gotta say in my defense, since she started her family and during the whole Psych era, I really never saw any pics or video that screamed MILF, nor did I want to see her that way. I respect that fact that she is a wife and a mom. But this pic....man I'm sorry. (proceeds to duck)

Nobody can be a MILF at age 25 even if she is a mom. She can't be that until she's in her 30s at least.
