I’m on a rant now!

I was watching this flick the other day en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_kong which was hysterical, but also deeply disturbing. It’s a doco & in it you hear a toddler crying in the background ”Daddy, Daddy , stop playing Donkey Kong.” He’s begging for his Dad’s attention - which Dad ignores as he obsesses over the machine….Sign of the times.

Just to be clear, we do talk about other things, but somehow all conversational roads lead back to Madonna.

Funny how EVERYTHING reminds you of that particular comment, Anne.



Elysse, what you should do is become a Even bigger fan of Madonna than him. Like top him with it at every opportunity, everything he knows, says, thinks, gets, and buys regarding her you do it bigger and better. You could even just kick it up a notch and actually stalk her physically and then show him the resulting restraining order and be "In your face!" about it. then sit back, and watch the magic happen.



Wait, you want him to stop liking Madonna...

Hmm... no I shan't change my advice on this. This is good advice and I recommend you take it and follow it to the letter.

That is funny, Anne!

After checking out of Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre (named after Robert Johnson's deal with the devil) Britney Spears walked into Esther's Hair Salon and said, "I want my hair shaved off." "While I was talking to her body guard," hair-stylist, Esther Tognozzi said, "she grabbed the buzzer and started buzzing her own hair off. … She buzzed off all her own hair and I just cleaned it up when she was done with it." Spears showed little emotion as she chopped off her brunette locks.

After leaving the salon, Spears headed to the Body & Soul tattoo parlor in nearby Sherman Oaks, Calif. She got two tattoos there, a black, white and pink cross on her hip and "cute little lips on her wrist".

When a Body & Soul employee looked at the pop star in disbelief and asked why she shaved her head, Spears said, "I don't want anyone touching me. I'm tired of everybody touching me,"

"The hair represents the stylists, the handlers, people who are in control of her life and manage her looks,"

My Secular Theory (extract from Chapter on Douglas/Zeta-Jones V’s Hello! Magazine for Breach of Privacy)

These efforts at control are necessary, according to Zeta-Jones, ‘so that we felt comfortable enough to let our hair down and enjoy the wedding the way we wanted to enjoy it’ (The Courier Mail, 12 Feb. 2003, 9). The control is presented here as a prerequisite to relaxation. I think ‘let our hair down’ is a particularly revealing metaphor, in this instance, as hair is a site of intense labour for a celebrity. Labour that the actress had hoped a respite from on this particular day. Zeta-Jones’ ‘raven locks’ are a distinguishing feature on her part and in the reporting she is referred to as having had her start as ‘the raven haired girl’ in The Darling Buds of May (Lampert 2003, 31). Hair, then, is a powerful signifier in this context of labour and capital. Her hair is a site of labour and a form of capital. Labour she was taking a break from and Capital she was protecting. She is reported as saying: ‘Our peace and happiness evaporated. I felt violated -- that something precious had been stolen from us.’ This ‘violation’ is of her security and the ‘precious’ thing that had been stolen was precisely her Capital --she was shown letting her hair down. The consequence of this, ‘a few unflattering pictures,’ according to her own written testimony, could be the end of her career! Zeta-Jones explains:

'Michael and I are in the business of ‘name and likeness’. Any photographs published are important to us, not just personally but professionally. People go to see movies specifically because either Michael or I are in them and they have expectations of the way we will look' (Lampert 2003, 31).

Here is an admission, that despite what she says, and what she may even think, it is about money, or at the very least cannot be divorced from it. The control of their image and reputation, what the couple call ‘privacy’, is their Capital!

madonna is the imperial-girl ? lol... yup, she is now british, isnt she... ha.

(off to go get some food - im getting light-headed... "light-headed !! check it and see... light-headed - do you know what you need? light-headed - you cant get up to dance... light-headed ! youre light-headed..." thank you to the foreigner 4somes... rofl)

I remembered another verse.
---------------------------------

you know I am a Dark Lord's daughter
we're all family
the rebellion gets my Dad's attention
better them than me-e

-------------------
Thanks for the "time machine." I haven't accessed that memory in eons. I thought it would be cool to perform it with light sabers and dancing. That never manifested. Note that this Imperial Girl is a fictional character, and not representative of any movie characters.

Elaine, you would be doing that but you'd also be partaking in cocktails with me & Wild<<<

And then when I had had a few of those cocktails,I could do my impression of Madonna writhing around pretending to be a virgin.

Glad you're over it and moving on.
Healthiest thing you can do I guess.

" I initially tried reaching into his mind as Master Qui-Gon, explained to him that I had uncovered a ‘great disturbance in the force,’ & that I had tracked it to Madonna!"

LMAO - this is such a refreshingly funny thread. Elyssa, once you find yourself being predictably and continually bored out of your mind by a friend who gets stuck somewhere and happily stays, IMO there's nothing wrong with saying so long. By giving your ultimatum, you let him make that choice,actually. Sure the length of the relationship and its bonds tugs at your heart and makes you wish you could change him somehow, but you could take that energy and go find new, interesting friends. You were content enough with all this for a long time, but (some) people change, and this time it looks like that would be you. No blame! Life is too short to hear the same crap over and over and over.
