Kinderwhore

'Kinderwhore' was an image used by a handful of American female punk rock bands in the early to mid-1990s.


The kinderwhore look consisted of torn, ripped babydoll dresses or nighties, heavy makeup, leather boots, and crucially, patent leather "Mary-Jane" shoes (the kind favored by 3- to 10-year-old girls) of various colors, and exposed cleavage. Exactly who invented the kinderwhore image is up for debate, though it is widely accepted that Kat Bjelland of Babes in Toyland was the first to define it and Courtney Love of Hole was the first to popularize it.Christina Amphlett of Divinyls can clearly be seen sporting the image on the cover of her band's 1983 album;[3] Love declared that she took the style from Amphlett in an interview in the Los Angeles fanzine Ben Is Dead.

Origem:
Kinderwhore ficou conhecido com a fama de Courtney Love e Kat Bjelland, ambas reivindicam ter inventado o estilo.
Kat diz ter sido inspirada por Carroll Baker no filme “Baby Doll”, 1956, assim como Kim Gordon e Christina Amphlett.
Christina Amphlett, vocalista da banda do anos 80, Divinyls, foi a inspiração de Courtney, como ela mesmo disse em uma entrevista ao Fanzine "Ben is Dead".


... Lembrando que independente do estilo musical,o Kinderwhore é uma maneira de se vestir.
