Fame and Fortune


Fame and fortune. Is anybody ever really happy? Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence? What, if you get there only to discover that it's just another ugly, overgrown lawn waiting to be mowed? I'm refering to people other than the lovely Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, of course.


Imagine not being able to buy tampons without being photographed. Does any rate of pay compensate for one's lack of anonymity? Like I wrote in an older post, it's natural to be famous. Jesus was famous. Talent makes us famous (so does crime for that matter). But Jesus wasn't on camera everytime he stepped outside.


What about the psycho-maniacs who scream and cry or even (heaven forbid) don't think you should live without them. I'm not sure about this phenomena... Sure, I could handle the constant stream of interesting work, travelling, adoration, hotels and functions. But to lose your privacy? And when you get dumped by a man, your heartbreak is pasted on newspaper stands everywhere for any strangers amusement.


Well, I've covered the down-side. I think I'm going to have to post an entry to the up-side of fame and fortune! Now let me see...

Lights, camera, action

Last week, I audtitioned for a part in a theatre company and got in. Bombshells like the limelight, even us shy kittens. When we shine brightly we can be blinding, but when we flickers to a dim glow, well... you'd probably prefer not to know about it. We are used to people paying attention to us. It's our part in life to be admired. It is a reason very few people see us "sans make-up"! It's a famous bombshell tradition to always receive a bouquet of flowers after the first and last show in a season. I look forward to it so much! Bombshells, if nobody is giving/sending you bouquets, send them to yourself. You deserve it. Courtsey, take the compliments and sign your autograph with finesse!

Louis Vuitton Barbie

This is gorgeous. Just gorgeous with a '70's style thing going on here. And I have to admit I am rather ever so slightly envious of her abundance of accessories. Lucky plasticated bombshell... A Barbie for grown up girls? I think so. Though I have a feeling my little girl would confiscate it from me. I, kittens, am confined to the boudoir today as I suffer from consumption. Ok, not quite consumption. A case of hypochondria perhaps. And a post-nasal drip. Though I might just roll out of bed for one of these beauties. I don't know what one of these gems would cost. Anyone? Are they still available? Who knows..  But for now, I shall just roll over and get back to Club Duvet.

No More For Vanessa And Johnnie

After 14 years as a couple, raising their two children 12 year old Lily-Rose and 9 year old Jack, actor Johnny Depp and his french girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have decided to go their separate ways. I thought it was so romantic for him to buy a private island for them to share together.  These things remind us that nothing lasts forever. Separation.  Was it clash of ego? Was it addiction difficulties?  Confusion of priorities?  What a crying shame and such a common thing to happen, especially for celebrities.
