Today, to be a pop “diva” you need to be outrageous. Outrageous, scandalous, temperamental and egocentric. And show a lot of skin.
Talent is optional. It is secondary to attitude, flash and glitz.
Nowadays, it seems that “singing” is just a lame excuse for exhibitionism.
In showbiz’s sex-saturated environment, a woman feels compelled to strip to a bare minimum to be noticed, and loose boobs are popping up everywhere.
What is the fuss about women’s breasts anyway? Contrarily to what children were told, (and unlike an eclipse) it won’t impair your vision even when you stare at them.
I have gazed at my share of boobs and I still can see pretty clearly.
If men can flaunt their pecs on the beaches (or anywhere else), I don’t see why women could not do the same thing without attracting undue attention.
What prompted the initial covering up must have been the old Christian bugaboo about the Original Sin. Some religious hogwash concocted by some misogynous hermit.
What did Eve or lamebrain Adam know about sin anyway? They were just babes in the woods and they did what came naturally.
But times have changed.
Once morality’s Public Enemy Number One, bare boobs are steadily losing their wicked aura.
It is a little bit like alcohol. During Prohibition it was thrilling to quaff the stuff. After ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment (repeal of prohibition), not so much.
It is said that familiarity breeds contempt. Take the Kardashians… after seeing Kim’s ass under so many different angles, everybody has become blasé about her caboose. Soon, due to overexposure she will have to find a different gimmick to stay in the limelight.
Same goes with boobs. Overexposure will kill the interest.
In sex-starved Muslim countries I can understand the titillation caused by a bit of skin, but in Hollywood’s Sodom and Gomorrah boobs are coming up for air more frequently than ever.
Soon nobody will give a damn and that’s the way it should be.
Boobs matter, but not that much.
Do not get your panties in a bunch over naked boobs. Soon they will be as common as tattoos on a gangbanger and nobody will blink an eye.
