So in my bid to make it through an entire day staying triumvirate free, I was digging for something to write about and really didn't want to write about Madonna and her publicity stunt gone bad or Brett Ratner getting his first bj from a guy and how he claims it was a transvestite. I'm wondering what his excuse was for the 2nd 3rd and 4th timesSo instead I thought I would talk about this.
“I dress for men. I dress for men and myself. If I am dressing for men, then I know it’s good for myself!”
Now I'm a dirty old man and so if Jessica Simpson wants to dress for me or undress for me or wear next to nothing while she jumps and giggles and pretends she can sing and act, then I'm okay with that as a dirty old man. The problem is that I hate Pimpa Joe and I know that he's probably been telling Jessica her whole life that she needs to show what she's got and to look like a classy whore. He probably said don't completely slut out until your career is down the drain and you need a little boost.
I'm sure as her "manager" that he likes to be there as she decides what and what not to wear and what will make men happy. When she wore something skimpy or was running around half naked Pimpa was probably grinning from ear to ear and so Jessica realized she was making him happy dressing like a whore and she wanted to make Daddy really happy so she kept doing it and doing it.
The problem is now she has a million kids looking up to her and she's spouting off that crap and so the cycle is going to continue. Again as a perv, I'm okay with it, but there just seems something inherently wrong with it. If you have some time this afternoon or this evening you need to read this article about what people like Jessica are doing to the girls of the world.
All I can say is I'm so happy you're not jaded, EL, and can see the damage done by objectifying women. The past twenty years of MTV videos, skanky retail ads, and fashion trends has erased much of the good done by the women's liberation movement. We've gone from padding our bra's to burning them, back to padding them, only now females are starting at a much younger age. I live in a wealthy area where teens are having their noses and boobs done for their 16th birthday. I think their children will all have complexes and eating disorders. It's pretty sad.
ReplyDeleteIt's up to the parents to put behaviour like Jessica's and Lindsay's and Britney's in context.... moms who thinking nothing of forking out hundreds of dollars a week for their kids' beauty treatments are doing way more harm than those celebs ever could...
ReplyDeleteyou know, i wanted to do all sorts of stupid stuff when i was a kid, but i never managed to get my parents to pay for any of it.
ReplyDelete2 notes: 1) all those 16 yr olds w/ boob and nose jobs will keep me prosperous in the mental health field [kidding that it's a good thing for job security, serious that those will be who I will most likely be working with in about 10 years] 2) Mr. Army-guy in the 2nd photo is either seriously packing, or is enjoying Jess dressing for him.
ReplyDeleteYuk!
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with those parents?? When I was 15, I wanted to dress provocatively to fit in, but you know what my parents said? "Hell no!" What parent in their right mind pays for waxing, highlighting, manicures, etc. for a 9 year old?
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with women wanting to look good, but these are children, not grown women! When I was their age, I was climbing trees and skinning my knees! That whole article was so disturbing...
Only a dumb insecure female would dress for men.
