Yes, she's an attractive artist. But that doesn't mean that doing "semi-nude/soft-porn" should be standard promotional procedure for a female musician, no matter how good they look. Doesn't anyone recall the recent disgust on this list toward Sheryl Crow for posing half-naked in a men's magazine and then criticizing Britney and other musical acts like her for presenting themselves in a sexually provocative manner? Endorsing the Gap and taking soft-porn pictures are definitely not the same thing. Whatever Liz chooses to do to promote herself is her decision, but it would be extremely distasteful for her to feel forced to pose for men's magazines in order to sell her music.

Of course I like Liz because of her songs, but I also like her because of her body, so I'm not completely out of line here (I don't think).
