The Pussy Cat Dolls
Carmit, Jessica, Ashley, Nicole, Kimberly, Melody

Unit 11: Journal Entry Question

The image of the Pussy Cat Dolls could generally be seen as being a bit too provocative. Their attire and costumes are quite revealing and does promote a sexual image. As seen in their videos, the Pussy Cat Dolls are seen dressing quite revealing, which is common among female artists in the music industry. The Pussy Cat Dolls each could be described as being quite slim which again is quite common with female artists in the music industry. It should be noted that when the Pussy Cat Doll’s Search For the next Doll was released, one of the contestants felt pressure to be thin so that they could fit in with the members of PCD. Each member of the Pussy Cat Doll have attributes that make up the group such as their built confidence, persona and individual style. These attributes are what make up Pussy Cat Dolls image. The group tends to go by the slogan "classy not trashy", which promotes a so called "class" for the group. The image of PCD could be seen as being generic as they could be strongly compared to the girl group, Spice Girls, who also targeted the same target market and encourage female empowerment. It also seems as though that the image of PCD is not as unique as their image can be compared can to other females in the entertainment industry.
The Pussy Cat Doll has a target market of young females, starting from preteens up to young female adults. Their fan base is generally made up of females but does consist of some males. Since the group promotes girl power and such, it is evident that they would appeal to a more female target market. It is apparent that females would be their main target market as they promote girl power through their music, such as "I don’t need a man".
The Pussy Cat Dolls convey the message of female empowerment. They represent the modeling of encouraging female empowerment through their music. The Pussy Cat Dolls has the main purpose of empowering the encouragement of women to be openly expressive and take control. The group promotes girl power among females and females to gain self-confidence. The group is able to do so through their music as they some of their songs include strong encouraging lyrics. Also, the group has created a what seems to be a national anthem to females, their song "Don’t Cha". However, some question rises as to how the girl group could possibly promote female empowerment when they can be considered as dressing provocatively.

  • Your a little repetitive in this entry. Needs some editing, but interesting topic on female empowerment. Spice Girls has a similar mantra, but I personally feel that it was just a gimmick. What do you think?
