I just had to share this interview because it was doubly refreshing to hear true wisdom and common sense coming from such a young and undeniably talented lady. Generally speaking, I found her comments to be authentic, encouraging and inspiring. I am sharing this in the hope that something she says is beneficial to you too. Personally speaking (as a singer who also has no desire to crawl across a stage buck-naked or pseudo-buck-naked), I am grateful for her courage and boldness because (whether she realizes it or not) she is pioneering.
"Exploiting yourself sexually is not a good look." <----- THAT is my favorite thing she said.
Usually, it's Adele's vocals that dominate conversation about the British singer. But the 23-year-old's physique became Topic A when Karl Lagerfeld told Metro newspaper: "She is a little too fat." The comment sparked outrage and an apology from Lagerfeld. "With high-profile critics like this, how does Adele herself feel about her figure? When Anderson Cooper recently interviewed the star for a "60 Minutes" profile, Adele said she rarely thinks about her body image and feels no pressure to be a "skinny-mini" or wear revealing, hyper-sexual clothing. "Even if I did have, you know, a 'Sports Illustrated' body, I'd still wear elegant clothes," she said. "I ain't lookin' like no 'slapper' (slang for a promiscuous woman)." -excerpt from CBS NEWS
THIS: I ain't looking like no slapper...
has become my favourite* phrase.
Don't you be looking like no slappa' either! OK?

*for Adele and Brits everywhere ;D
