P.Y.T.?

This month Janet "Ms. Jackson if your nasty" Jackson and that bodacious body of hers graces the cover of FHM magazine. Similar to the photo spread in the current issue of Vibe magazine, Janet's in a bikini, covering her breasts, flashing the abs, and looking seductive, and stating how she's never been this semi nude for a shoot for quite some time or something like that. [I beg to differ. Isn't she just draped in a sheet or bed comforter for the All For You album jacket?]FHM also goes a step further and places Janet in a sexy lingerie number on her stomach, looking up at the camera and giving us viewers a glimpse of everything from her head right on down to her toes. It's a sight many of us not named Rene, El, or Jermaine have ever laid our eyes on: Janet's legs.

Think about that for a minute. When I saw these photos the first thought that came to mind was 'damn, still looking good, still showing off.' And then when it was brought to my attention that Janet's legs don't get much exposure I thought about it and you know what it's kind of true. We all know baby's got back and strength down there cause 1)she tells us in songs and 2)she dances like nobody's business, but 9 times out of 10 the bottom half of her body plays second fiddle to the breastesses and those abs. But why Janet? Why? From the outside looking in it's all to the good and we all know you ain't one to not shake/show what your mama gave ya.

Now normally we can place insecurities and the like on society, high expectations, parents, friends, tv, Abercrombie and Fitch, etc, but today we learn that the finger should be pointed at the king of confidence, big brother Michael Jackson. According to Janet, Michael loved to tease Janet when they were younger about her "fat butt" and it seems such comments still plague her to this day:

"I was made to feel like I was a fat kid by Michael. It really affected me, even as an adult."

And all this time I thought Janet's changing styles, fluctuations in weight, and desire to look good at all times were her own doing and deeply internal. Nope. It's all Michael Jackson's fault. That's just wrong Mike. She's your little sister. Why you wanna be starting something?
