Kylie is back and in November prior to her concert to our Australia’s competitive magazine culture featured the pop princess. Both Marie Claire and Vogue featured Kylie front page but there were two Kylies.
For the keen observer many things show our pop princess has undergone a change and this is reflected in the different faces of Kylie in both Vogue and Marie Claire covers. Marie Claire shows the Bubbling Brook© Kylie using INSIDE STORY’s Marketing Somatic Identity framework (Water People©). As a Bubbling Brook© she is bright, literally sparkling on the cover and shining in pink.
Kylie looks decidedly out of sorts on the cover of Vogue in her black lace dress and her black eye makeup – looking quite out of sorts and much more like a Still Waters© goth than a princess. For those who have experienced deep feelings of loss, near loss or grief it is hard to resist the dark side.Her latest album Body Language video also reflects a shift. This time a more towards the Flowing Stream© identity is emerging. The colour and glamour is still there but no dancing queen now. She lies on the towel languidly, seductively going through the moves fluidly to the music among a mass of bodies and no longer up there as the single bright star.
We all wish you the best Kylie as you work through your inner transformations.
