Great thread and pictures! I have been listening to Tori since I was around 14 and adore her.. in the past few years, I sort of drifted away from her music, but very recently have got back into it, and it is pretty much all I have been listening to the past week- heh. There are so many of her songs that I love- Crucify, Playboy Mommy, Winter, Jackie's Strength, Raspberry Swirl, Suede..I could go on and on. I saw her once in concert (in 2003) and she was amazing!

Today I just got "American Doll Posse" and it is taking some getting used to for me (since it's different from her older songs)... but I like it.
 
I dont care for Tori's music anymore (havent since before Choirgirl) but now that she is slowly turning into Cher with the wigs and plastic surgery I love her for her image again. She'll be on What Perez Says tonight on Vh1.

The wigs are funny but I think they sorta of work. :flower:

Are you serious honey? She's talked openly about getting plastic surgery. She's had a brow lift and TONS of Botox. I dont care that she has, but she's certainly not looking this great from staying out of the sun and good genes.
 
* Tori talks about botox...

"Lines for men as they get older, it becomes very much a turn-on, but lines for women, as we age, has not been associated with 'wisdom is sexy.' And women that are running that side of the fashion or the music or whatever it is hasn't supported this either."

That's right. They get into the botox thing.

"Yeah, well..."

But it's what the industry demands. And how do you reconcile? I mean, you are you -- you're not a product. How do you deal with the productization? How you deal with that?

"I think you have to know -- I think you have to kind of decide what kind of artist you want to be. And you make peace with that. And some people have become sex symbols in their careers, and that's a very different road to take than if you're talking about the heart. That doesn't mean I won't get my botox shots. I don't know what I'm going to do because that's between you and your dermatologist." [A Conversation with Ann Powers - January 12, 2002
 
And Botox doesnt raise your eyes. Your forehead and eye area begin to FALL as you age and she doesnt have that whatsoever. Everything is very high from the eyes up, she's had her eyes tilted and her brow lifted. You can see in some photos without the heavy bangs how her forehead is higher too.
But-Tori has had major eye work done. Not just Botox. Just look at some pictures from 1996 or 1998, even 1999. Loss of facial fat and change of facial structure as you get older can be pretty dramatic. But Tori's entire brow area is different, her entire eye shape is different, her lids are dramatically different. Her eyes look 1/4 inch bigger than they did 10 years ago. She always has a wide eyed look, makes her always look awake (which is actually the point of the surgery) Her eye area is very tight (not in a freakish way) It cracks me up that anyone could deny her surgery. if you can watch the John Stewart interview from Comedy Central or even the Rosie O'Donnell interview- both from 1999- A time of great stress for Tori and right before she has something done.
Loss of facial fat definitely changes your appearance. And Tori has definitely gotten more chiseled looking through natural aging.

And I am NOT putting down Tori at all. I believe in doing whatever you want to feel good..
 
thanks for posting the interview quotes to back up your claim :flower:

i hadn't read anything about it before, but i haven't really been on top of her press and appearances..

if it makes her happy then who cares, right?
 
she looks a bit like ron howard's daughter (the one who was in the village) in those 2007 photos..
definitely sporting a fresher faced look..

*what's going on with her music-wise?
we don't want to focus too much on plastic surgery talk :p

she looks better in the scruffy brown wig than the weird orange version.
 
Ahhh, that hair.

I still love Tori's "A Sorta Fairytale" after all this time. :blush:
 
apparently there is another video that was on a dvd..
very different from the arm and leg bodies in the other video..

i think she looks lovely in it :heart:
there's something really natural about her here i think..
she sort of reminds me of cate blanchett..
she's got that great sort of odd face ^_^

"you thought that you were the bomb, yes, well, so did I"

I got into her because people kept telling me that I looked like her, and I thought that I should find out how she sounded. I instantly fell in love. That was about ten years ago (I have since stopped coloring my hair red, so I don't really look like her any longer).

I think my favorite song, if I had to pick one (and it's really difficult to pick just one), is Jackie's Strength. I love the shift in that song - praying for Jackie to have strength, and then praying to have the strength that Jackie had. The link post #65 leads to a few really great clips, one of which is Tori's thoughts on Jackie's Strength, and I just love what she says about it.

The video is awesome, too. I taught writing and analysis to college freshman for a few semesters, and finding and following and understanding details was one of the big things I was meant to teach. So in part of a class session, I would play them that video twice - the first time without giving them the lyrics, the second time with the lyrics. It was great because a lot of them couldn't quite understand what she was saying (and, sadly, few of them were into her enough to know the song before hand) and so they'd really have to focus on the visuals. That would begin to spark some ideas and thoughts about what she was saying. But every single time, when I replayed it after I gave them the lyrics, they would suddenly get it and see so much in the song and in the lyrics and in the video. It was really cool. I loved it, even if they didn't, because it always gave me a greater appreciation for the song. I think they left with something, too - the ideas behind and within that video and song are rich and deep.

It's also just a really beautiful song.
