Here are a few images from the preview video released by Capitol, watch it here [doesn't show her as a playing card, I will probably post this video at it's release in a few days]. Starting off with some checkerboard floor symbolism then some good old fashioned Vegas casino occultism (777 being the "lucky/winning number").
She wears Pink + leopard-print bikini.
The V doesn't only stand for/mean Vegas ;)
The main image I wanted to capture is the butterfly hair-band thing (any butterfly on the head is absolute MK [popped up a lot in recent posts here and here]), I'll look for a DVD Rip or something and post some good screencaps from what I assume will be a video full of symbolism (haven't pictured everything symbolic from the preview).
Here are the official merchandise from this 'Hello Katy' tour, obviously no one (who isn't totally ignorant) should be shocked by the Lolita themes on these. The top official alternative poster (main one is also symbolic watermelon piece + mouth covered) obviously features clear sex-kitten programming with the mask (masked/lost/altered identity, replaced by the manufactured/programmed one [i.e. sex-kitten mask] that covers your actual face/identity) and Katy looking seductive over a leopard-print background.
Fresh Cherries = pedophilia ["Harvesting (cherries) since 1984" (taking little girls virginity [cherry = the hymen], they pay a shitload for virgins at sex-slave auctions)], fruits are again all about sex (in MK programming, programs [i.e. a specific perverse sexual act] are seen as fruits in some internal structures [so used as triggers]) and more associated with pedophilia as I think they regard children as 'forbidden fruit'. This kind of symbolism is seen in the bible where Eve's innocence is lost by the slimy snake (phallus) offering her the 'forbidden fruit' (sex[ual abuse]); you can hopefully interpret the obvious metaphor for yourself!
A few more images from said tour:
"Koons is my Kunst!" Anyone care to explain (typical Disney dehumanization aside)? Sounds German and Nazi-like however, Kunst means 'art' in Germany (easily mispronounced into something dirty; Koons is apparently an art designer [possibly made the inflatable stage props], a fashion site [note Mickey Mouse and usual themes in fashion] says it is a reference to Nazi propaganda's "entartete Kunst"). Like other outfits Katy has worn they've also featured on the catwalk (so did her Obama dress and others).
In the German leg of the tour she wore interesting imagery such as a winking eye (not the first time her breasts have been used as symbolic eyes [image further down in link]).
In Munich she wore just a black cat.
But probably the most interesting of the bunch is her trousersuit covered in all sorts of symbols, lots of butterflies, a yin-yang (duality), sun symbolism, a Geisha, birds and lots more (can't make out most of it admittedly).
The set was designed by Madonna's (another kitten, check out these images I posted a while back at this post taken in 1979 [as well as a Katy kitten one from an older Katy post], here are a few more from it as well as the couple I posted [tried to put in symbolic order, ritual poses and whatnot]) set designer according to wiki, so all these big cat heads/fruits/wieners/etc and Katy's various symbolic costumes make more sense.
In the 'Hello Katy' tour, Madonna was invoked with her image on her top as Minnie Mouse, then in a later Disney 'Grad Nite' event in the past few days she herself wore the MM ears (good ol' wholesome Disney, note her leopard-print short dress also ). [Lady Gaga is constantly invoking MM/Hello Kitty hair bow]
Edit: Throwing in this image from an older post (+ have put another few images in).
[Edit: Added better view of more recent shoot wearing the above top, note below leopard-print finger nails as well]
I didn't make the connection at the time but her dark Hello Kitty outfit she wore at The Brit Awards was in reference to her Hello Katy tour (was unaware that was the name of it at the time) and I posted images of her wearing them all in a post, using the obvious title 'Hello Katy' (you've got to check out the video for the dark Hello Kitty MAC line she was promoting there too if you haven't already).
The below 2 interesting images are not Katy, just to clarify.
Nazi lipstick chic! Shhhhh...
The obvious phallic significance of lipsticks is shown in Salon Kitty (interesting movie btw I've posted on it in relation to Katy before a few times [some more symbolic posters above, a kitten covering her 'pussy'/kitty and such], standard themes [lots of mirrors, duality, androgyny and such, not sure if people are interested in write-ups of films like that]), remember Salon Kitty was of course an actual place where kittens were programmed/housed in WW2 for espionage purposes. The below image , which I've linked to the video of before but worth picturing here again to show the clear comparison.
