"Katy Perry gave an NPR interview on Saturday that included this perplexed little gem: &amp;quot;Everybody&amp;amp;#8217;s getting naked...I mean, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been naked before, but I don&amp;amp;#8217;t feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed.&amp;quot; And I can understand her frustration. Would you want your coworkers to get naked? Yeah, I said &amp;quot;coworkers.&amp;quot; I mean, we work in offices and restaurants and public facilities. Katy Perry works in music. So people like Miley Cyrus and Kesha and Rihanna are her colleagues&amp;amp;#8212;and how would you like it if everyone you work with started showing up &amp;quot;dressed&amp;quot; like this? And this. And this. I mean, OK, I&amp;#x27;m obviously being a little facetious here. But here&amp;#x27;s what I love about Katy&amp;#x27;s simple point: We spend so much time analyzing what it means when a famous female, you know, Instagrams 70 percent of her butt, or appears in public in some sort of Dali/S&amp;amp;M mash-up. Is it empowering? Is it a cry for help? Is it feminist, antifeminist, or postfeminist? Is it art, or is it porn? But Katy&amp;#x27;s sentiment strips away all the thinky stuff and points to a gut reaction that doesn&amp;#x27;t get as much press: For crying out loud, sometimes we just don&amp;#x27;t FEEL LIKE LOOKING AT THIS. Would it kill certain celebrities to mix in some coverage? Or, as Katy went on to put it: &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s like, put it away. We know you&amp;#x27;ve got it. I got it too... I&amp;#x27;ve taken it out here and there. And I&amp;#x27;m not necessarily judging. I&amp;#x27;m just saying sometimes it&amp;#x27;s nice to play that card, but also it&amp;#x27;s nice to play other cards.&amp;quot; Exactly. And while we&amp;#x27;re all here in this de facto Famous Person HR meeting, I think it would be fantastic if everyone could stop grabbing, pointing to, and/or rubbing their crotch in public. I don&amp;#x27;t think gender equality is being advanced by 20-years-late appropriations of Marky Mark&amp;#x27;s techniques. OK? I&amp;#x27;m glad we all had this talk. Back to work. Let&amp;#x27;s have a great day, everybody. BTW, you should listen to the whole NPR interview with Katy...it&amp;#x27;s really a good one."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
