Hmmm..I think that this sexy image has a purpose. I think it's more in the sense of self-acceptation because most of the songs are implying that we should start accomplishing the things we want by taking action but with the condition of staying true to ourselves (eg. rollin). So, I don't think it's like this just to be because in the first place she doesn't have this kind of overall image, or not until 2009.
