Paloma Faith finds burlesque clubs empowering

Paloma Faith has admitted that she visits burlesque clubs to celebrate the female body, however she finds porn ‘unrealistic’. <br /> Speaking to The Independent, she admitted, “I'll go to burlesque clubs, but to me that is empowering. It's a celebration of the female body as a natural form, whereas [pornography] is a completely objectifying, unrealistic, plastic version. <br /> “I believe in sensuality and have a strong sense of my own sexual desire – by no means am I a prude – but it's a celebratory thing, not just geared toward the male gaze. It's got to be mutual between the genders.<br /> “Pornography gives men an unrealistic idea of what a woman should be I'm surprised by how many young men think women should be hairless, because that's not the way the cookie crumbles...”<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSd3cOfEHvUGvh1OpIXfFpeMBGjTP6_W3boA7Ll2Rd6rYdajM_eqwm1LDP3c8TBmabk-wVtmCpnzAky3r1E6pSYoJ1hESdWRxagBUT4SAMW-emPZpMpK_X-mJZop31ndaa-JZ3HtNqLQE/s1600/palomafaith.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSd3cOfEHvUGvh1OpIXfFpeMBGjTP6_W3boA7Ll2Rd6rYdajM_eqwm1LDP3c8TBmabk-wVtmCpnzAky3r1E6pSYoJ1hESdWRxagBUT4SAMW-emPZpMpK_X-mJZop31ndaa-JZ3HtNqLQE/s1600/palomafaith.jpg" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Paloma also admitted to not being as ‘well informed’ on political matters as she’d like to be because she doesn’t have a TV (she’s missing out on so much: TOWIE, MIC… Big Brother!). She explained, “I am socially political but I'm not as well informed as I should be, or as I was brought up to be. I don't have a television and I don't buy newspapers or read magazines because I try not to be influenced by those things, but I've cut out a lot information as a result.<br /> “The government is focused too much on academia. I think that there should be options available, quite early on, that if someone is recognised as a disruptive child for them to be trained vocationally.<br /> “Maybe if those kids were given the option to learn how to contribute to society on a practical level they wouldn't get into trouble. But there is this right-wing idea that academia is superior.”<br /> <br />
