Ke$ha Covers V Americana Issue: I’m Like A Pop Star’s Dirty Little Sister
May 2, 2012 by Hollywoodite
Ke$ha covers V Magazine’s Americana Issue, wearing smeared American flag face paint and a chainmail flag dress by Dsquared. Thus labouring the point more literally than is really necessary. But it still works.
The last time Ke$ha was really heard from was on Twitter, sharing a photo of herself peeing in the street because that’s easier than releasing a new single (little did she know, Kanye West, Pink and Jaime Pressly made urinating in the street passe). And now Ke$ha is on the cover of V Magazine #77, which includes an interview declaring herself like every other pop star’s “dirty little sister.”
On comparisons to other pop stars: “I do feel like there are the pop stars of the world and then I’m like their dirty little sister, running around with shit on my face in combat boots because I can’t walk in heels.”
On connecting with her fans: “I try to include my fans in my message. I do feel like there is an element of what I’m doing that is about where I come from, which is working-class. I was never the cool kid, I was never hot in high school. I was never popular. You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to be rich and you can still be successful.”
On dealing with paparazzi intrusion: “When paparazzi showed up at my house, it was really mind-boggling. I’ve found ways to do exactly what I want, but in the privacy of my own sanctuaries. I have wild, wild nights [in the woods], but my friends and I are all really private. We get f–king crazy, but you’re not going to see me stumbling out of nightclubs.” – via V Magazine.
