Television and all its perks!

Girls flashing their boobs, their g strings, swearing like warfies, boozily sucking the faces guys. This is what I was confronted with while watching the British program “Ladettes to lady”. I won’t lie, I definitely was amused by the girls’ antics, but at the same time I wondered how these girls weren’t embarrassed. I may sound a little like a prude, but I just don’t understand how these girls can look at themselves in the mirror, and be proud of what they see.

I think the same thing when I watch a show like Big Brother. A contestant would be running around, screaming profanities, cheapening themselves by their actions and simply looking like an idiot in front of the nation. But when they are evicted, a parent or sibling would say how proud they were of them. I simply just don’t understand this!

If my brother was in the Big Brother house, and I saw him acting like a buffoon, I would not praise him, I would say, “My brother’s an idiot and he should be ashamed of himself!” Or if my sister ever acted like the girls do on Laddettes to lady, I would give her such a slap that she would NEVER behave like that again.

Unfortunately though, it seems no one really thinks the way I do, and this sickening glorification of idiots has become extremely common in our society. It’s just sad. Society has become definitely become a mess. I heard the other night, someone say that ‘we are in an age where a home made sex tape of an heiress barely raises an eye brow.’ This is the truth, and I think certain morals and values need to come back into mainstream society.

I know when I am older and I have settled down and have kids, I don’t want them to think that it is okay to act in a way that cheapens their self worth, but I’m afraid that if I am only one in their life saying this behaviour is not acceptable, my voice will be drowned out by the rest of society saying it is.

N.B Just to clarify, I know I've had a go at these two shows, but only because I hate the way they glorify trashy and foolish behaviour. They are still amusing to watch!

Time to grow up.

One day, my boyfriend and I were at Highpoint shopping centre enjoying a relaxing coffee at an outdoor café. It was virtually empty, with the exception of a few passers-by’s coming and going from the centre. It was wonderfully peaceful.

Then out of nowhere came two screaming bells, running as fast as they could. As they passed us we heard them scream something about security being after them. Luca rolled his eyes at me as I shook my head, and then we then got back to our conversation. A minute later however, a swarm of fluro-clad teenagers appeared out of nowhere. Girls that looked like they were 12 were smoking, had what looked to be a make up factory on their faces, had barely any clothes on and were making sure the guys were noticing this. The boys were fighting with security, and every second word was “bro” or “fuckin’”. Every person that walked pass would shake their head at the group.

Now, my question is, do these little kids think they are cool? Do they think their tough? Unfortunately, the answer is obvious – yes they do. They think that everyone is envious of them. But do I have news for them! No one wants to be them. No one is impressed by the fact that these girls look like they could easily fit in down at St Kilda, or that the guys look exactly like those 20-something-year-old station bums asking for smokes off strangers.

These kids need to wake up and see that no one worships them like they think. Whether its kids their age or an adult passing by – they all laugh and smirk at them. Because they are jokes.

Hollywood Glam, What happened?

1950's Hollywood: A time where everything had class, sophistication and real glamour. A time when even affairs and scandals were done in style. Leading me and woman had real talent. Not only could they act, but they could sing AND dance. They were real stars.

These days, anyone who stars in a home sex tape is considered to be a star, an 'it' girl. People become famous not because they are gifted, but because of their ability to create gossip. Girls such as Paris HIlton and Lindsay Lohan, who have not one shred of decency or sophistication, are glorified. It is mind goggling to believe that the 'it' girls of Hollywood are ones that:

Have starred in their own sex tape - Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian
Have been arrested - Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton
Have gone to jail - Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie
Have been to Rehab - Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan
And have simply proven themselves to be morons who don't have real respect for anything; just watch 5 minutes from ANY episode of the simple life if you don't believe me.

Compare this to the like of those such as Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Katherine Hepburn and even Doris Day. Even if these woman had scandals in their personal life, for example Sophia Loren being barred from ITaly for her marriage to Carlo Ponti, they still worked hard for their place in the lime light. More importantly they possessed something that is rarely seen today, a little something called talent.

These woman carried themselves with sophistication and class. Today, actresses such as Sandra Bullock, Sally Field and Cate Blanchet, echo this. They are talented, they are smart, they clearly respect themselves and make sure that others respect them. This is a dying breed of woman.
You can imitate old Hollywood glamour by putting on a dress, but you can't imitate class.

Welcome all =)

The purpose of this blog is simple - I am going to be bitching and moaning about the trashy way people are living their lives. No one is safe.

Yes I will take on an air of superiority, but only because I can.
Yes I will be judgemental, but I will judge fairly.
Yes I will be annoying to most, but I don't really care.

=)

Love me, hate me, I am still going to be writing my opinion, even if no one ever reads this.

take it easy everyone
