Female Celebrity Pictures And Our Love/ Hate For Them
November 28th, 2009 by Jeremy Carden
How do you respond looking at female celebrity pictures, especially if you are female? What is your favourite part, the dress she is wearing or is it the plastic surgery she may have gotten recently and the fact that her obvious breast enhancement were on the cover of a local magazine?
It seems we use these so-called ‘Icons’ as a strange mix, as a source of information on, for lack of a better term, the latest fashions and all the details this entails; and as a source of criticism that reassures us that the subjects of these pictures are human beings like us.
If they are known and remembered, then it is also possible for us to to be. One could say it is a bizarre sort of ‘God complex’ for the masses struggling to find purpose and meaning in their lives. A strange, superficial way to try fill the emptiness.
One can even think of it as the poor man’s form of psycho-analysis and this is his or rather her way of transferring a need or weakness onto the celebrity in any given picture and the story behind that particular picture or group of pictures. Thus he/she sees their weaknesses in the subject and in return can reverse transfer the strengths of the subject in the picture onto him/herself.
What is it saying about us in we look and criticize the above average achievements of a human being like us. A human being who despite having weaknesses like ours they were still able to achieve some pretty great things. For the sake of argument, let us just ignore ‘pop-culture’ frauds shall we.
If we are honest with ourselves than we have to accept our own ‘failures’ and ‘inadequacies’ and this is when things can get really interesting, for the good or for the better for all and for ourselves, once again depending on what kind of person we are or what kind of attitude we subscribe to.
We can basically make one of two choices. We can look at the ‘icon’ and find flaws and things to criticize, always following the lives of the subject of the photo in the hope that we will see them fall so we can feel better about our own failures. As it has been said, ‘We put our idols on a pedestal in order to see them fall of.’ One must admit that this is truly the easiest way to go. We don’t have to take any responsibility for our live at all, but on the downside it is, in fact the coward’s way out.
Then there is another way, the way that sees that we are just like the subject of the picture, flawed and plagued with problems. But the fact that they were able to still achieve something with their lives, to have overcome so to speak and this should serve as an inspiration for our own lives. To remind us of how much there is to do and to never give up. This is the way of the ‘better angels’ of our nature, this is the way of love.
