Former Pussycat Doll member Nicole Scherzinger recently said in an interview that she wishes she were more slutty. What? Nicole goes on to say that she would have had a more successful career and may have even won awards. I really have to disagree with her. I understand that sex sells but it doesn’t make you successful. Look at Adele or even Barbra Streisand, they didn’t/don’t prance around half naked and have received loads of awards and accolades. I think as women we need to get the idea that sexy or slutty is something that determines our worth to the world and men. We need to realize we are so much more than sexual objects. Nicole Scherzinger rose to fame in her lingerie, but if she’d shown a little more skin, she might be better off today. Well, at least that’s what the former Pussycat Dolls member thinks about her career. In a new interview with The Independent, Nicole explains why sometimes she wishes she were “more slutty.” “I come from the most religious family—my grandfather is a priest—and if they support me in all this, and they do, then I’m OK,” the 34-year-old singer says. “I’m being sassy and classy; I’m having fun. I’m not coming from a dark place.” But, according to Nicole, there’s a downside to having a mom-approved wardrobe. “To be honest with you, I sometimes wish I were more slutty,” she says. “I’d probably be a lot more successful if I were. “This is such a tough industry, you know,” she adds. “To make it, you really have to sell your soul to the devil.” So, has she sold out to Satan? “No, I haven’t,” she says. “That’s probably why I haven’t quite reached the top of my mountain. I mean, where’s my Tony Award, my Grammy, my Oscar? Why don’t I have any of those things yet?” Huh.
