It's been a while between drinks. I was supposed to do a part 2 of my last post but hindsight is a beautiful thing. Realise now it wasn't blog worthy.
HECKLER: 'Just like the rest of your posts!'
*badum tish*
ANYWAY, just decided to pop in, make an appearance, you know. That sort of thing.
Between thesis, interning, failing my driving test and becoming a regular at certain take out spots, I have been busy dear readers! Also, re-evaluating my wardrobe as well (that is a must at this point. UGH). AND, starting to look at job prospects for next year. So, no wonder I've neglected you. Take this post as an official I'm sorry. I'll bring chocolates next time, ok?
Something that's also been attracting a lot of my attention has been the Kristen Stewart scandal. My thesis is on online fan culture, focusing on 'Twilight' fans. As you can imagine, the last two months have been rather eye opening. For those of you unfamiliar with the scandal, let me bring you up to speed:
- Stewart presumably is in a long term relationship with on-screen boyfriend Robert Pattinson
- She is photographed making out with the director of her last film, Snow White and the Huntsmen and oh yes, the star of this film is the Evil Queen
- Said director is married to a semi famous model, Liberty Ross, with whom he has two kids. Stewart is fully aware of these facts
- Photos get published, Stewart and director publicly apologise. Amazingly, this is the first time in 4 years Stewart refers to Pattinson as her boyfriend.
- Twi-hards go into meltdown. Not all of them though. But it's caused a bit of a mess
- Pattinson shows up for his promotional duties for 'Cosmopolis' 3 weeks later looking fine, fresh, fierce and is inundated with questions such as 'How are you?', 'how are you doing?', 'what's the status of your personal life?' and 'no, seriously, are you ok?'. Some shade is thrown e.g. 'people should stop hiding behind their publicists', a fictitious story about dogging, break up ice cream with Jon Stewart, and 'people who like kittens are sociopaths'

- Stewart makes an organised paparazzi photo op with cheap coffee and some asparagus, wearing what fans claim to be Pattinson's clothes (NB she was presumed to be wearing some of his clothes in the cheating photos too. Gurl needs a makeover as much as I do)
- Stewart comes out of hiding after a slew of PR articles vilifying the director and even Pattinson to promote some film about hippies.
- Vogue UK article comes out which Stewart gave before the scandal. Claims she's in love with Pattinson, wants to have his babies and he likes to lick her armpits. Everyone is confused as hale. Even the writer who is all 'is this director dude or Pattinson doing the licking? i dun even know...'
- Stewart wears some nice clothes, puts some makeup on and the words 'stunning and gorgeous' are thrown around again, but not before some 'journalists' lambast anyone calling her 'trampire' and 'slut'etc
- As of today, some media claim that Pattinson and Stewart are back on. Weeks before promo for the last Twilight film are meant to begin. How convenient.
Phew. Got that?
And you wonder what I've been doing for the last few months.
So, let me just say this. Stewart can wear some nice clothes, wash her hair and put some makeup on, but she still has an ugly personality.
Until she gets rid of her 'Avril Lavigne- syndrome', I will continue to side-eye the hell out of her. I won't call her a whore and I don't encourage that, but she has gotten nothing but sympathy from the press. She won't lose her job and, judging from some of the reactions online, her fans, but blaming her age and calling what she did a mistake is making a mockery of other girls her age. Like myself. And yes, the view from my high horse looks AMAZING.
