There’s a video of me dancing to the Spice Girls with one of those toy microphones when I was, like, four, maybe younger. It’s a classic home video – my dad comes into the frame, and he’s doing high kicks and stuff. It still exists, but nowhere online, thankfully.

charli-xcx-complex-coverCharli is profiled for the cover of the October/November Complex. As a female pop star:

I wish I could say yes, but I don’t think so. Maybe it is just a pop music thing, but I don’t feel like it’s changed.
