Question
Do you know who styled the video for Babooshka and Breathing?  
Apparently this lady is the best friend of my coworker, and he
has told me some stories about the video shoots.  I just wanted
to confirm her first name.

PS  I think I know a lot about Kate, but I am sure you have me
beat.  Is there any interesting, obscure tidbit you could give me
that I may not know?  

Also, has Kate ever spoken to the public about the new era of
female artists that are aping her sound?  Namely, Tori Amos?

Q: Do you know who styled the video for Babooshka and Breathing? Apparently this lady is the best friend of my coworker, and he has told me some stories about the video shoots. I just wanted to confirm her first name.

A: Well you got me there! I've been looking around everywhere but can't find a reference to the stylist of those videos (or any videos for that matter) on the web. So I'll have to disappoint you: I have no idea who it was.

Q: PS I think I know a lot about Kate, but I am sure you have me beat. Is there any interesting, obscure tidbit you could give me that I may not know?

A: Well apparently I don't have you beat LOL But maybe you don't know this bit of trivia yet, which is probably the most obscure Kate reference of all: in the late 70s there was a Valley of the Dolls TV adaptation, and in the title sequence there is a clip of a young woman cycling who looks the spit and image of Kate .... (Got this one from Peter Fitzgerald-Morris of Homeground magazine by the way)


Q: Also, has Kate ever spoken to the public about the new era of female artists that are aping her sound? Namely, Tori Amos?

A: No, it appears she's too polite to ever say what's really on her mind. Usually she'll something along the lines of "Oh I haven't heard much of her music but I really like her and think she's interesting".

Sorry I couldn't help you out on the videos!

Kind regards,
