We love Katy Perry’s music. She’s one of our favorite pop icons at the moment. She got with Snoop and Diesel on her “California Gurls,” track. It doesn’t get much realer than that. Hard not to think of the irony with her recent photo shoot for Esquire Magazine though. She flaunts her natural boobs (nope, they’re not fake) and the leather outfit complete with cross in a way that any pastor’s daughter should.

One of our readers, Erin, decided to dress up as Kermit the Frog and submit her outfit. No prince necessary.

P.S. Erin’s outfit totally beats that hack of an attempt by Lady Gaga. Sorry Gaga.

KATY PERRY MAKES DIESEL DAISY-DUKES UNFORGETTABLE

Diesel and Katy Perry have teamed up on her forthcoming “California Gurls” music video, to unveil the hottest custom made daisy-dukes the golden coast has ever seen!

The “California Gurls” track finds Perry – who has just been named #1 in Maxim’s 2010 Hot 100 List – raving about Jeeps, gin and juice, bikini-tops and daisy-dukes. The crystal-encrusted daisy-dukes she sings of and wears throughout the video are none other than Diesel’s “Mintha 8B3” denim shorts, specially customized for the artist’s highly anticipated video. With the help of Perry’s personal wardrobe designer and stylist, Johnny Wujek, the 8B3 distressed indigo-blue wash was layered with more than 7,000 two-tone jewels, creating a one-of-a-kind daisy-duke masterpiece perfectly suited for the pop princess.

The provocative songbird, who sings about love, sex, Vegas, and making out with girls, flawlessly embodies the Diesel brand spirit – bravery and innovation, with a hint of defiance. Tune into the “California Gurls” televised video premiere tonight at 8PM EST / PST to MTV, VH1, MTV TR3s, and also at 8PM EST / 5PM PST on Logo and Teen Nick to see it on TV!

Once you see Diesel’s custom Mintha 8B3, you’ll be falling in love! Do it yourself, by crystallizing your very own Mintha 8B3, $160, available at Diesel stores nationwide. For Diesel locations and retailers call 1-877-433-4373 or visit diesel.com.
