Celebrity worship… nothing new I suppose. I chuckle at the thought of a guy walking past the forum and some guy saying, “Hey, you look just like Socrates!” and the other guy saying, “Really?” while saying to himself, “ALRIGHT!”
I’m not sure why a woman who gave much thought to it would want to look like a celeb. I mean really, who ever became famous for looking exactly like someone else who’s already famous? Typically, people become famous for a new look. Its something about them that’s decidedly different, if you want the ironic truth of it.
Okay, so she or he might want to be every man/woman’s fantasy and resemble a celeb. Isn’t that a little like shouting, “I want to be adored for who I faintly resemble! Use me!” And so the person starts mimicking the celeb’s fashions, ways, and whatnots.
I’m thinking a person loses himself in this process. The drive to be oneself is replaced with the drive to be someone else. In no way does this resemble the Asian philosophy of EVERYONE resembling everyone – there individualism is scorned as an evil in favor for unity – it instead replaces one unique person with another.
Unique? Well, “unique” insofar as they are the products of fifty makeup artists, 80 wardrobers, a handful of producers, a couple managers, and a label or guild of some sort. A pedestal is, after all, a prison.
I groan everytime my aol buddy window pops up with one of those celeb look-alike people. “Oh please vote for me and encourage me in this psychosis of mine!” I’m sure it cannot be healthy.
I’ve been told my some people I resemble a celeb or two in my time. Eh, it’s flattering I guess. But I really appreciate those grounders who tell me I in no way resemble them! That’s always nice.
