"We can't help the DJ starification. If I'm against it, because we are basically 'record pushers', people always needed icons. As a woman, I'm proud to be in the minority. I can't say I was a direct macho-victim but it's true, we mostly earn less than men, and I saddly think you rarely succeed if you are fat and uggly. It's a common fact.

As we can consider the 'groupie effect' as a girl thing, men may fantasm on us, they mostly are too scared to approach us, and it's really fine for me!!!" – from miss kittin's biography (via euroranch).
