When Spears talks about the South Asian musical influences on "In the Zone," she says she's "been into a lot of Indian spiritual religions." When asked if one of them is Hinduism, she says, "What's that? Is it like abbalah?"

Shakira, discussing her recent album "Oral Fixation, Vol. 2", in the New York Times, Sunday, Nov. 13, 2005:
"I've always felt that I've been a very oral person. It's my biggest source of pleasure. From a psychoanalytical point of view, we start discovering the world through our mouths in the very first stage of our lives, when we're just born. The first album cover is more Freudian, and the second one more resembles Jung, because Eve is a universal archetype. I tried to keep a unity between the two album covers, and I chose to use some Renaissance iconography. Mother and child and original sin are recurrent concepts of the Renaissance period, and I wanted the historical character."

I especially found the use of the "42% off" icon very jungian.
No wonder Shakira's CD is 42% off. It appeals to that vast swath of highly literate people who appreciate cheesy non-retro dance-pop -- or whatever kind of music she actually makes, I admit my ignorance -- combined with intelligently designed album art.
Brit 4EVAH YEAAAAAAAAH!
How can we get them to make out?
string some christmas lights up in the basement, maybe set up some collapsible aluminum chairs, invite them in, say "this is the MTV music awards; this is frank, your choreographer". i think at that point you're in control.
The choreographer would be probably be named Frank anyway. So you're totally in.
this is the MTV music awards; this is frank, your choreographer
I think you nailed the caption to this photo.
Congratulations for the feminine sex!
Good plan. But is the choreographer 'the' Frank?
