You're So Vain
As the famous Carly Simon song could have said:
"You probably think this thread is about you!"
The world at present seems hugely overpowered by incredibly immature vanity obsessed people.
Whether it's Essex boys and girls all parading around like sheep with the same copycat look, or celebs with boob and ass jobs or just the myriad of fitness freaks desperate to flaunt their (frankly absurd looking) bodies in gyms across the country.
What has suddenly turned this nation into a land of moronic sheep all obsessed with how they look?
One can not walk down a high street without seeing young girls following the defacto "dummies guide to being a mindless moronic sheep" visage . . . .
Pair of tight jeans. . . tick
Jeans purposefully ripped at knees . . . tick
Ridiculous fake eyelashes installed . . . tick
Ridiculous long fake nails installed . . . tick
Obligatory fake spray tan . . . tick
Obligatory tatoo on feet . . . tick
Obligatory tatoo on arms and neck . . . tick
Smart phone protruding from back pocket . . . tick
I do wonder what these fools think they look like
Similarly the fitness freaks. Obligatory lycra vests covering as little as possible to expose the monstrosity of the body they have created. Everything out of proportion, little more than a circus sideshow. Really what on earth do they think they look like.
Joggers in tight lycra with huge smart phones strapped to their arms as if to say, "no I just can't manage to just go out and simply run, I have to have stats and readouts otherwise it just isn't fun or worth it!"
You look at people like poor Carol Vorderman, once a hugely popular, beautiful and attractive woman, now reduced to little more than a fake bimbo freakshow. So hugely sad to see.
Did all these people miss the simple lessons of life? Have they been so badly brought up that they really do think that life is all about them? Are they so hopelessly shallow that they think how they look is all that matters? It's like they never grew up from teenage life in many cases, never progressed mentally, never matured.
Some of the sad fails imo:
Felicity Kendall, former British sex symbol, had her own unique allure in the 80s, now reduced to being a ripped jeans sheep:
Vorderman, just totally lost the plot:
Steroid &Synthol Freaks:
Maybe it's just me but I can't help but feel that these people all need a healthy dose of humility and realism.
