Guess What? Nicky Astria

Marking her comeback, female rocker Nicky Astria has decided that it is time to change her stage costume.

At her recent show at the News Cafe in Kuningan, South Jakarta, she was clad in an elegant transparent blouse, which showed off her star-shaped tattoo on her navel, along with a matching long skirt and, of course, high heels.

Unfortunately, she was not comfortable with her new style. In the middle of the show, she had to take off her shoes, which were causing her feet terrible pain.

"Sorry people, I don't mean to disrespect you all," said Nicky, whose real name is Nicky Nastitie Karya Dewi. "Yeah, I think it's more comfortable to be myself."

A mother of Zana Chobita Aratusa and Bhatari Hana Amadea said it was her designer's idea to change her previous rocker style to a more feminine one.

At the concert, Nicky belted out several songs from her newly released album Samar Bayangan (Shadowy Image) as well as her old hits Negeri Khayalan (Imaginary Land), Matahari dan Rembulan (The Sun and The Moon), Uang (Money) and Bias Sinar (A Ray of Light). (Sri Ramadani)
