Hilary Duff is Edgy, Erotic. Depeche Mode remain so.

What's with Hilary Duff all of a sudden? She went from the slightly pudgy Disney star to getting film clips banned from television. She's 'growing up' which is Music Industry code for when teen stars reduce their waistlines, clothing and pose naked at some point. What is it with the Disney kids, who hit about 17 and then break out in leather and smudged black eyeshadow? Much like Mandy Moore before her, you can't layer on the necklaces and convince me you've all of a sudden become edgy and cool. Wasn't she in Lizzie Maguire? and A Cinderella Story? Didn't she release a cover version of 'Our Lips are sealed' with her sister? And now she's prancing around a big house, decked out in clothes i would wear out, blindfolded and biting guys hands? What the hell, Hilary.
As for the banning/re-editing of the video, i'm not sure it was all that entirely out there. Violet Blue, my favourite sex blogger, calls it 'eroto-pop') Sure, if it were me, it's not something i'd want my grandmother watching, but, admittedly, she is an elderly conservative woman who would have a heart attack at what i get up to on a regular Saturday night, so there we go. It's actually not a bad song, if you take into account the fact that millions of teenagers are going to think the sample of Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus' is a new song (see: Rhianna with 'SOS') And we all should be happy that slightly offbeat fashion such as lace gloves and top hats are becoming more mainstream styles (I long for the day men stroll down the street in gray suits, lilac handkerchiefs tucked into their pockets) but i'd rather it be from a better artist than Lizzie Maguire herself.
