I think that this is a really good direction for Emilie to take! I don't really understand why people are saying it is changing her or whatever. It is one of the best photos of Emilie yet! I will be buying this!
Is it an issue that her lyrics contradict her persona? Does it really matter at the end of the day? I've always thought that this was what she was about. The whole Victorian influence - The victorians were a very straight-laced society, AND although this did appear to be the facade many see and continue to see, they had a really dark, perverted side too. There were a great amount of brothels and whore houses, there was the pornography - and Victorian Porn is quite explicit, even against toadays standards! Emilie even discusses this whole idea of the perversion of the camera etc, in an interview on youtube!. How as soon as technology is created like a camera, porn is the first thing we do - it is natural. Also this ties in with the whole Victorian thing again as they were concerned all about appearance as representative of morality. So is Emilie not, to try and justify in a way that explains her steampunk/violindustrial/victorian influence, subverting these ideas/ideals? Living the double life of having two personas? Laced and unlaced?
I don't know if anyone will agree with what I am saying. But I have said it anyway.
I think this is just natural; not pornographic. And from what I have said above, I don't think it "lessens" her position as an artist but increases it. Pehaps look at the preface of Wilde's The Portrait of Dorian Grey I cant be bothered to write it all, but this about sums it all up form me:
"DIVERSITY OF OPINION ABOUT A WORK OF ART SHOWS THAT THE WORK IS NEW, COMPLEX, AND VITAL."
I shall end my ramble there.

That's a great point, I totally agree with you!

. Finally someome who doesn't find strange not being the same forever. The best part of EA is that she does whatever she wants, whether the public is going to like it or not. I think it is a huge virtue, at least she's doing what she feels like doing, and no what is supposed to be doing.

For Christ's sake,

Does anyone not realize that Emilie can do whatever the hell she likes? She lives in America! She can pose butt naked for all I care, so long as she keeps writing good music. Posing for photos, however erotic/provocative, has no bearing on the truth that Emilie is a god damned talented musician. For all the fandom you guys display for her music, a lot of which is about freedom from society's judgement of you, you guys impose more judgement on her than society does.

Grow up kids.

Excuse me, but...the word fascist you used is very rude and hurtful...
Let's just unite that Emilie Autumn can do what she want to do, if we like it or not is indifferent for her because she's doing this to express herself, but if we like it she's glad, she said this herself, so why should we begin to argue because of this? :blush:

Let's just calm down and have fun here

No, it's not really. I was being an imperialistic fascist.

He was just being cynical.

I like her music, actually I love her music, but I am entitled to disregard some of her actions. And I really can't understand why she would pose for magazine like this. When I looked at their homepage it really looked like a Suicide Girl copy. Only that some places it was even more nipples showing...
And I'm just wondering why she would sing about not wanting to be a "fucking suicide girl" if she does this... I in my opinion, this kind of turns her into one...

Do you really think you was? Why? 8-O

Well, like I said before, let's just have fun here, I think it really should be fun here, right?

That cover pic is gorgeous. I'll have to get that mag off the interwebs, being a UK person and such...

She also sings about having a husband with bad breath and rotten teeth. Slitting her innermost thigh so she can pretend she's not available.

She also sings about being a complete bitch (Opheliac). Let's not forget about taking blood and putting it in the ground (pretty sure it's illegal to do it the way she sung about), and swallowing and making the sea level go down (FUCK YES! THE CURE FOR GLOBAL WARMING!).

Expression in art is not gospel. She isn't obliged to follow them. It's also crazy to expect her to.

People have taken the "Suicide Girl"-quote completely out of context..

And I wonder - if just the cover makes such a fuzz, I wonder what people will say after the rest of the photos and not to mention the show.

but she DOESN'T look like one of those "fucking suicide girl" at all.
just because she's wearing pasties + corset doesn't suddenly make her one
plus, the picture is way more artistic than most of those sucide girl pictures.
