Freakaholic
not just an addiction
I wasnt gonna call this thread that, until I saw the genre wars, thought it would be witty.
What prompted this is the following blog article:
http://savemanny.blogspot.com/2005/12/sexiest-female-djs-in-world.html
Now, I cant say that this sort of mentality is holding female djs back, because I think this sort of thing would happen in any field or area of interest. I can almost blame them for not including people like Dj Rap, or Sage (one of my favorites for musical style and looks) since every single one of these djs has at least pictures of them half naked (all but one with them on her website).
But like I said, I think this is a natural occurrence, perpetuated by social values, and quite possibly the very urge to reproduce that keeps humanity alive and overpopulated.
So, do other people think this sort of crass debasement of djing is inevitable? and if so, does it matter, especially if its pervasive everywhere?
women nowadays are more prevalent in dj culture than ever, but for every one that has mastered her skills, put her time in at small clubs and underground parties, there is one that is willing to take off her top and mix cheesey house or hip hop and get paid big bucks for it. Djing, after all, is now a capitalist thing.
