what are some people thinking??!




i won't lie and say i've never wished i had bigger boobs. not only do they help certain articles of clothing like lowcut shirts and strapless dresses look acceptable (speaking of which although objectively i like her clothes, nicole richie shouldn't be permitted to dress the way she does being so meagerly endowed (or anorexic, or whatever she is)), i'm also conditioned to think large breasts are a key component of sexiness. (although, by comparison, please note gwen stefani, my favorite petite breasted celebrity -- and one of my favorites in general. flat, and hot. of course it's possible, of course. just not how nicole does it.)

but to actually do the deed and have someone cut you open and violently fill you with silicone? it's so disgusting, it looks like shit, and how the hell can you ever admit to yourself or anyone else that you voluntarily had a surgery because you were yielding to society's dictates of what is attractive? don't people want to be classy? principled? i swear i don't understand it.

another thing i don't understand:
trying to be a totally shitty pop artist, but thinking you're really good.
i recently had dinner with my soon to be former roommate and a friend of his (i dislike both of them) and this chick is trying to start out her career as a pop star. okay, okay, you wanna make lots of money and be ogled and loved...if untolerable, i can at least understand this. but what i can't understand about this particular would-be pop idol is that she doesn't have even an ounce of self-reflection to see how absolutely, utterly and completely lame she is. and if you think that being a sell-out pop star automatically entails a certain amount of self-delusion, you'd be surprised by how many shitty musicians are aware that their actions are commensurate with destroying art (which, admittedly, may be worse than doing it unknowingly).

for your edification, i'm placing a snippet from this singer's forthcoming album below. the song this comes from is called "ladrona," which is the spanish feminine for thief, ladron. [actually, i can't figure out how to place sound in here (unsurprising). here are some lyrics, but you gotta hear this to understand what i'm talking about]

i saw her struttin' my look with my own two eyes
i can't believe her guts although i'm not surprised
down to her via spiga heels and a fake gucci
this girl has no imagination, she's just a copy
i guess that i'm that great, that you would feel the need
to go and imitate, my style in vintage tweed
i guess that i'm like you, that you would feel the urge
to tuck your jeans in boots, my look you love to scourge

[chorus]

la, la, la ladrona
you little crook
la, la, la ladrona
you stole my look

la, la, la ladrona
you little crook
la, la, la ladrona
you stole my look


i mean, she's so uncool it just makes me want to cry.
