TSB I think you're way off base.  Kate's first promo may have been
successful becos of the breast poster but how do you explain the
last 6 CD'S????? Sex might have sold at first unfortunately that's
the way it is but Kate has proven time and again she's not a bimbo
who has to sell her looks to get people to listen to her music.
Alanis does not even compare she doesn't have the vocal range Kate
does (not really the looks either - that grunge look is pretty 
unappealing).  But maybe some guys like that.  Boobs are not everything.
Kate has the "everything"
