You Sing It Big Red

Pauline said...: She thought she just looked "beautiful" and didn't "tear herself apart?"

So what? We should give her a round of applause for being born practically perfect looking and (big shock!)not being insecure? Give me a break!; February 18, 2010 at 7:32 AM
Thanatomaton said...: No, we should give her an award for not letting the New York Times' attempt at sabotage bring her down. We should give her an award for being able to be herself and for not worrying that she's somehow less than perfect for not being a double-0.
Don't get sour grapes just because she's absolutely gorgeous, and comfortable with herself.; February 18, 2010 at 10:57 AM
Leviathud said...: Pauline, you sound bitter.; February 18, 2010 at 3:28 PM
Nathan said...: So what did the New York Times say about her?; February 18, 2010 at 7:32 PM
Pauline said...: Well I haven't read the NY Times article so maybe they were harsh to her. But my point is that despite the odd, negative nitpicking, people who look like her KNOW they're physically beautiful and have millions of other people confirming that everyday.

Regular women like me who have these kind of unrealistic barbie dolls shoved down our throats everyday are the ones who really struggle with insecurity and appearance.

I am not bitter or jealous, I can appreciate an attractive man or woman. But when they make silly statements like these or like Jessica Biel ("Its so hard being beautiful!") it makes me want to gag!; February 19, 2010 at 7:46 AM
Nathan said...: I'm inclined to think that, for the most part, people who drool over pictures of celebrities realize it's all just fantasy. That said, I have heard that guys who look at a lot of models and such sometimes tend to find women they see in their daily lives less attractive, so I can see it both ways. Still, I doubt there are going to be that many situations where a guy has a chance with an actual woman, but rejects her because her boobs aren't as big as Christina's.

Nonetheless, if naturally beautiful people think they have a hard time of it, they should try being one of us not-so-attractive folks for a while. Maybe it is hard being beautiful, but I'll bet it's even harder NOT being beautiful.

I haven't read the NYT article either, but the impression I get is that Christina is responding to someone complaining that she ISN'T built like a Barbie doll. No, she isn't just a normal-looking person, but she's not a waif either.; February 19, 2010 at 7:21 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: Good points there everyone. The beautiful people do have it easier than those of us with more normal features and bodies but then again beauty is and will always be in th eye of the beholder. I doubt that anyone who has found love would trade the reality for fantasy. It's human nature to admire what we view of attractive. In my case the package can be pretty but if what is inside lacks substance then I quickly move away. For example Jessica Simpson - pretty but stupid and a bad actress and I hate the distraction of bad acting the most. Even in porn I would rather watch a Sasha Grey than a Jemma Jameson. Sasha at least can pretend that she is into it. Large fake breast are repulsive to me. Christina gets my attention because either by choice or fate she is not trying to be anything other than the real woman she is. Or maybe she is that good of an actress.; February 19, 2010 at 8:19 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
