It Begins Again

[poliphilo]

And it seems only yesterday we were all worrying about the Millennium bug.

We don't usually stay up for the New Year but we did this time. We were watching a show about the 100 most annoying people of 2008. The winner- if that's the right word- beating the likes of Peaches Geldorf, Calum Best and Heather Mills McCartney- talentless nobodies with a link to a deservedly famous person- was a woman I'd never heard of called Agyness Deyn. She's a model. Apart from the name (which was constructed for her by a numerologist- apparently the two y's are really, really lucky) she seems entirely blameless. Ailz suggested women hate her for being beautiful.



There were drunks on the street in the small hours, venting and lamenting. They went on and on and on. Do drunks not feel the cold? 
 
My New year's resolution (no-one actually expects you to keep these things, do they?) is to take up painting again.

Funnily enough, I don't think she (if that is her) is remotely beautiful, but then I have never gone for the androgynous look anyway. If anything, it is the silly name that is a turn-off for me. And no, drunks do not feel the cold, but that also leads to a lot of them meeting their end here in Sweden due to hypothermia.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because I sure don't think she is beautiful. She DOES remind me a bit of a Hemingway, though. (Margaux or Marielle).

I didn't know that you had painted. I'd love to see some of your work.

Doesn't antifreeze...

Contain alcohol?

In fairness to Heather Mills, she did do SOMETHING before she met Paul, helping amputees and getting involved in landmine charities. She may not be all that likeable, but going by some of the shit that's been thrown at her you would swear she barbecued babies for breakfast.

I think it's the Beatle Wife Syndrome myself. One joke used to go: Q: What do you call a cow with wings? A. Linda McCartney

It might be beauty, but she is certainly not making the most of it. Also, I do not understand why a (beautiful) woman would want to be a "boy".
As a gay male friend of mine maintains: "Why would I want to be with a female impersonator when it is males I like? If I wanted a woman I would be with women!" I believe that same idea holds true for the female.
My idea of gay female beauty is the TV star Ellen DeGeneres - she is always herself, does not attempt to be anything else, and she is truly a beautiful person, inside and out. I told one of my gay male friends that if I were a lesbian, Ellen would be my ideal. Since I am not, handsome Harrison Ford is my film hero.
And yes, please please do start painting again!

She smokes... that annoys me. *L*

Sounds almost like Agnus Dei, but somehow the angry countenance and the cigarette don't fit well with that name.

Drunks do not seem to feel the cold. That's why you get sports fans in December and January with their shirts off and their torsos painted in their team's colours. It's "liquid courage".
