Winehouse Wannabe
Spotted this Amy Winehouse wannabe at Greenwich on Saturday complete with the beehive hair, cat's eye make-up and vintage wear. It was bizarre. Couldn't really take a better shop as she was literally just in front of me and I couldn't make it too obvious that I was photographing her!
The Brits have a really unhealthy and disturbing obsession with their celebs. Every day in the free tabloids, I'll be reading about Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty (the loser that Kate Moss dated), Mischa Barton (so bland and boring), Sienna Miller (whose claim to fame is probably only by dating famous men - she looks so ordinary!), and Posh & Becks who are possibly the most annoying ones of all. Like can't Posh stop pouting for once?
And oh, there's also the never ending reality series Big Brother which is so dumb. It's the first time I've ever watched it, and one episode was more than enough for me. It's ridiculous and downright boring watching all these dumb contestants. One of them fashions herself after - of all the people in the world to choose from - Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice. This contestant is the most earnest wannabe I've ever seen. So earnest that it comes across at pathetic with her attempts to emulate her idol in everything from her looks, hairstyle, clothes and accessories. Very disturbing.
But hey, it makes for interesting fodder and sights for the rest of us.
