Celebrity Obsession

[Lou Siffer]

Quite often, when reading threads in the lounge, I see people make statements about some celebrity or another being the hottest woman alive or something along those lines. The women are attractive (Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, whatsername from the robotic fighting car movies, etc.) but not so attractive that I would be excited about finding a picture of her topless or wearing a short skirt. So I thought that maybe I just have different taste than most guys.

But, recently, guys have been posting pics/links of Sunshine Girls. Now, they don't usually make the same kind of gushing comments, but I assume that the reason they're posting is that they find the girl extremely attractive.

At this point, I start to believe that the mere fact that these girls have their picture in the paper or are seen on TV, somehow makes them seem more attractive. Why is that?

I see women on the street or at work everyday (not to mention some SPs) that I find just as attractive as the celebrities and certainly 10 times better looking than most of the Sunshine Girls guys have posted over the last year.

Or, is it just the fact that there are pictures of the celebrities available for posting? As opposed to the hot chick you see jogging/at the gym/serving you fries, who would be kinda creeped out if you asked her to pose for a picture so you could post it on terb and tell people how hot she is.

Oh well, that's off my chest. Carry on...

LOL well Lou, people tend to gush over celebrities because they most often have "it" which is why they are famous.

As for sunshine girls, it is just a medium or format that everyone can see. Just saying "I see this hot chick at timmies every morning" tells us nothing. A lot of guys however need their mates to justify or validate their choice. Kind of shallow IMO but a LOT of guys are like this (you know the ones, who brag about their car, brag about their job, show off their girlfriends).
