Pop star Kate Nash won’t bow to the pressure to sell with sex.

Kate Nash doesn’t startle easily. As a pop star, she’s accustomed to tabloid speculation and inappropriate queries. One particular journo, however, made the 23-year-old Londoner squirm.

“I was asked about why I don’t care about being sexual,” Nash says. “About why I haven’t used my body to further my career. Maybe something was lost in translation, because he was in Austria, but he said: ‘Being naked and getting your body out is a cool and fun and easy way to further your career, so why don’t you do this?’

“There is pressure for women. If you’re female, sex sells. You probably will get more attention if you have a sexier image but it’s just not who I am.”
