This is why we must keep the commoners and famous people separated. We do not play by the same rules. Us poor plebes, the really clueless uncouth ones such as this woman & myself, are really not impressed. We don't care who you are. We wear "fvck you", no, "fvck you, you fvcking f*ck" tshirts...
every fvcking day. I worked in a restaurant where if you got bad service, you were invited by the waitress to take it outside to the parking lot...and they would! And everybody loved it! And would come back next week, all black eyes and fat lips, for more pizza and beer! And ask for the same waitress!
Really, when was the last time anybody famous b*tch-slapped or slagged-off some other famous person
vez a vez? They don't, because they've got to stroke, stroke, stroke, be all sociable, civil and nice, to build the kind of consensus, mutual admiration and power that an entity such as Marc Jacobs requires. Else you don't get invited back to the right parties, you're like Courtney Love, you know, or poor old Capote: your honesty is refreshing for awhile--but soon you just can't be trusted, because you're too damned literal, too real.
The famous work hard to become this monstrous thing that can only be friends with other, similar monstrous things, because the little people, like my hero in this MJ story, are incorrigible and untamed. Else they're paid assistants, or a temporary amusement. Mutual flattery, strutting and cleverness at their dull events, and work hard at staying famous.
They make their gritty, realistic movies of a life no one actually leads, especially not them; they make music about things that used to move them, and might move you, too, but sing it 10,000 times and see if it still feels the same; they design and model clothes that could possibly remind someone of desire. Then they live off the mass-market patronage of millions of plebes who want life to have that movie magic, who want someone to love recognize and love them just for who they are, a soundtrack for an otherwise routine life, clothes to make them fit the current mold of desire.
It's not a bad thing, I like their products, too. I just don't care for them, personally, as they don't care for me, personally. Because I don't know them, and they don't know me. This never was part of the celebrity bargain. However, do not pollute my dive bars, my plebe streets, my low-rent neighborhoods, my underground parties, oh rich & famous ones, looking for the new sound, the new look, the film rights, for you to coopt to keep your bloated empire floating, and expect us to fawn over you and kiss your ***es. Stay in your faux-polite safe world and flatter each other.
