Dysfunction and Beauty
When a celebrity who is my age (well close enough, I’ll be 39 in 3 months) dies, like everyone else, I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the media blitz and online articles that flooded the Internet as the world reported her death and tried to figure out what made us care so much about Anna Nicole Smith?
Just what was Anna Nicole Smith? Actress? Model? Reality star? Rich Widow?
“I don’t know exactly what she did.” "The View co-host Joy Behar said trying to figure out why we watched this strange woman over the years, she came up with two things: Dysfunction. And beauty."
“No question, she was beautiful,” Behar said. “We know people like to watch dysfunction. But beauty gives you something extra to look at. Dysfunction and beauty: Now that’s something to watch.”
Dysfunction and beauty! This description fascinated me.
No question Anna Nicole Smith was beautiful! No question that her life was tragically dysfunctional and on display in the tabloids.
Dysfunction and beauty. Two things the world lusts for and obsesses over.
Dysfunction and beauty. It’s that crazy mix that makes us date attractive people with drama filled lives. You just want to fix them, change them, make them into the perfect person that you envision yourself being with. But no matter how hard you try to fix them, you still end up with that crazy mix of dysfunction and beauty. And we stay with that dysfunctional beautiful person until we can’t take the drama anymore and then we go find someone more compatible to date.
But why are we drawn to dysfunction and beauty?
It was Anna Nicole Smith’s dysfunction and beauty that made her the perfect pop culture icon. It was hard to watch her. And, harder not to.
She was someone that was LOST her whole life! And she had so many YES people that she could do whatever she wanted and nobody would dare to say NO to her. She had her drug issues,,just look at the video of her the day before she died. I am deaf and I can tell she is slurring and not making sense. She was irrational too. Its just sad. She proves money doesn't = happiness. I think part of her just died when her son did,and she never recovered.
Wow. I was truly shocked by her death. But we shouldn't be. I mean when your diet includes methadone and slim fast your body has got to give up after a while.
