when women's autonomy is under serious threat we get her bland musing on plastic surgery and individuation. can we just get serious for a moment? huh? for one quick moment?
(erm, conversations about my bed and career are totally serious - good sleeping health and economic feasibility are good things.)
who can be surprised at the bland homogenized actresses around us? our culture has reached a point when difference (both at an ideological or physical level) needs to be erased so that our own puny identities can remain stable and strong. we are creating a cultural suburbia that will be harder and harder to escape. our celebrities morph into one another; our politicians slowly melt into indistinguishable parties; our citizens become more lumpish and silent.
tell us something we don't know, MoDo.
