Simone said no to Playboy :)

Quote :

Whiplash!: Recently, former EPICA (SAHARA DUST) singer Helena Iren Michaelsen was on the the cover of the Greek Penthouse magazine. Is this something you can say you will never do? What do you think about that?

Simone Simons: "I was asked [to appear in] the Dutch Playboy, but I said no. I don’t sell myself to anyone. This is something private and not for everybody to see. My singing is also very intimate; I don’t go further than that. If she wants to present herself like that, I won’t stop her."

Thank goodness for that!

Completly agree!

I just read that recently and planned to pot is here too,but oh well .I admire her for being such a decent person and I imagine that the TDC cover never existed

Well TDC cover was art and it has concept behind it

True ...but still

Good for Simone.

Of course Simone said no! And I admire her because of that decision even more.

Good girl =]

Thanks akjua, but i ment the interview where she tells about that Playboy thing

Oh sorry..thought you were talking about this one

Thanks for the intervie!really interesting one

Well, as she said, I am not going to stop anyone else from doing it. I personally think women should be allowed to express their sexuality without condemnation, as it is one of the feminine powers and is one of the strongest. However, using one's sexuality in this way, as to be photographed by a men's magazine, could be considered by some as an abuse of power. That I could easily agree with. Also, In a perfect world, women could do things like this without being objectified, but unfortunately in this world, once a woman does something like that, she becomes a sexual object. Simone already attracts men to the band because of her looks. I am sure the last thing she wants is attention from more perverts.

BUT...what she said about her singing being very intimate...its really true. In its very nature, music is sexual, intimate. I totally understand that.
