Good! I was actually trying to imitate the attitude of those 12 year olds that I was talking about. Think of this from their perspective. They all have crushes on Gabe, or Pete or William or whatever. And they are, naturally, jealous of Vicky-T. Because she's older and prettier(bad word to use; can't think of a better one now) than they are at the moment. Plus, she's closer to all those OMG so hawt!!!! dudes. The number of fan girls that like her or even look up to her is much, much smaller than the number of those that are jealous of her.(And at that age, it's perfectly understandable). They are aware that their fanbase is quite young.(Ryland, I believe, said that in a recent interview). It's kind of a bit contradictory. And contradiction doesn't go with good marketing.
Random comment off Buzznet, from one of the Maxim pics: she's gorgeous it's not fair D=
I honestly fear for her safety if she and Patrick ever hook up :-s /marketer's point of view
Personally, I would have done the same things, had I been in that situation. Though I don't really like the pictures. Or her for that matter. Something about her just doesn't add up. I could be relying too much on my intuition. Or maybe I'm just jealous :))
Cobra Starship needs to grow out of the FBR fanbase. And I think they will, pretty soon. A bunch of my friends, that aren't into 'that indie, emo, whatever shit' I listen to, totally loved their songs. They're gonna be huge one day.
