Whoa. I accidentally put on UKTV Style this morning and got ‘A Listers Unzipped’
With Myleen Klaas. 5 people getting off criticising how other people look. Spending time using computers to ‘re-dress’ stupid Hollywood stars who have committed fashion crimes. Oh, don’t worry. It’s balanced. They have a part of the show called ‘They got it right’ – dedicated to stars who have got it wrong in the past. That’s alright, then.
This, Wall-E fans, is why we don’t talk to each other and why we’re destroying our planet.
What?
Yes. This inner unhappiness that craves putting other people down in order to feel good. It’s so ingrained in our culture (you know, the one where every TV show or film is based on conflict?) that most of us don’t even notice it.
What I did notice was the 5 people on this show’s body language. They’re all sitting with legs crossed and arms crossed with their hands forward over their knees to protect themselves.
Why wouldn’t they? That’s what struck me as Myleen looked into the camera and said
“Now, when I go out to an event that’s being watched by 80 million people, I like to make sure I look good…”
How awful, how vulnerable she must feel every second she’s judging other women on the way they look.
