Or, should there be another price created for me since I belong to a different category than is listed on the price sheet?

Costa's grooves celebrate empowerment

Kenn Rodrguez | February 28

Nikka Costa doesn't consider herself a sex symbol. If you've seen any of Costa's videos, such as the sassy one for her tasty breakthrough single "Like a Feather" or her publicity photos - the one featuring the top of her derriere peaking above her low-rise jeans is an Internet favorite - you're probably thinking to yourself, "Yeah, right."
