You know I have to say this because it is just one of the many things I respect about Lindsey Stirling. Something that so many other young female performers in Hollywood feel the need to do, but shouldn't because it isn't necessary.
Lindsey, Thank you for keeping your clothes on.
Now don't misunderstand me. I have the greatest respect for women and especially women of singing, dancing and performing talent. Over the last 20 years there have been some absolutely phenomenal female performers and women with extraordinary music skills. Be it Singing or dancing or playing a instrument or all 3. But I'm just tired of seeing so many young women feeling the need to expose themselves when it really isn't needed. There are some truly, amazing, talented and inspiring young women today. People of exquisite musical skill and beauty. Why do they take their clothes off? Why do they bring themselves to this level of exposure?
They say it's them expressing themselves and their talent or breaking out of their shell into womanhood. I can understand wanting to do something that allows them to "Stand-Out" among the other talented women in Hollywood. Also I have no delusions of how difficult it is to succeed in that world.
Lindsey Stirling has shown over the last 3 years that it isn't necessary to dress in skimpy outfits and exposing parts of her womanly body to be successful, talented and skilled. She hasn't swung naked on ball or worn a bikini out on stage or "Twerked" at all in her performances. She hasn't done acts of debauchery or talked down on other performers. Yet she fills venues and sells out ticket offices every time she performs.
I truly respect Lindsey for showing real character and dignity in the entertainment world, by not stooping to the level some celebrities do. This is the kind of celebrity that kids can look up to and learn from. I as a parent can feel safe knowing that there are celebrities out in the world that aren't exposing my son to things he doesn't need to know about yet. Parents like me can point her out to our kids and say,"That is a super star."
Thank you Lindsey.
