Alter-Egomaniacs: Tori Amos

Tori Amos aka The American Doll Posse

Leave it to Tori Amos turn this whole alter ego thing into a half-assed graduate thesis. For her 2007 'American Doll Posse' album and tour, the singer took on five distinct personas -- Isabel, Clyde, Pip, Santa and Tori -- each based around archetypes from Greek mythology. But Tori's not a total egghead; at least she gave each personality its very own blog.

I love Tori Amos. I think this is along the lines of what David Bowie was doing with Ziggy Stardust just multiplied. I'm sure we'd all love to be someone else sometimes..

Hello Tori Amos,

Blogs are not as group oriented as Org. Soon the dolls will no

say sick in the car and a doll gets sick. Save the blog report for glamor. Now tell the dresser that they had a real moderen vision in those clothes. Did other fashion templates give in for the photo?

How does that make her a nut job? It's not like she tried to change her name. She created characters for her album.

Uhhhh, thats not something an 'egghead' would do. 'Nut job' is more like it!

Why, that's not crazy at all... Can we say 'multiple personality disorder', much?
