...then the "In Your Dreams" award of the week goes to Paris Hilton for making
the following absurd statement:
"There's nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has
an iconic blonde like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana and right now, I'm that icon."
Little-Miss-CAN-Be-Wrong told the Times of London.
Look honey, you may be thin, rich, and by some people's standards, beautiful, but here's
what separates the blondes from the iconic blondes:
A) Talent. Marilyn Monroe actually could act. Goodness knows, she would never
have stooped to staging a "reality" show where a lack of tact, good manners
and common sense would be so glaringly in evidence. The same principles
would almost certainly have applied to any propositions she received to
record a sex video. Do I need to go on?
B) Grace and Compassion. Princess Di crusaded for worthy causes, globe-trotting from
hospital to hospital, not only visiting sick children or land mine victims, but embracing them
... and I don't mean in the figurative sense alone. (And by the way, "figurative" doesn't
have anything to do with the female form, Paris.) And heavens knows, it takes a massive
measure of grace to live inside a royal cocoon, mother two boys also constrained inside it,
and figure out how to navigate life when your every word and deed is microscopically examined,
then re-broadcast to the world. (Especially, when that macro-publication is not your choice.)
C) Intelligence. Dear me, where do I start on this one? You know what, never mind. [Sigh.]
Blonde, you most definitely are Paris. I'll give ya that one. But iconic??!
Oy vey. Not in the way you're thinkin', honey.
Life in the ReD Zone is definitely unique! Read reflections on living near my favorite lake, musings on movies, music, friends, family, and faith, with the occasional controversy or creative contemplation sprinkled in for good measure. Oh, and don't forget the ice cream.
