I'm not great at introductions, so let me sum up my entire essence in the following three words: more is more! Pile on the camp, the glitter, the feathers, the guilding, the bright colors! I love it all. There's no room for minimalists here. And if you don't like it, you can kill yourself! I kid, I kid. Now, feast your eyes on two queens of the male and female variety:
Now don't get me wrong--I'm really into the "high brow" aspects of culture as well--but I believe pop culture has long been undervalued and discarded by the academic world as the frivolous musings of teenage girls and flamboyant young men. Whether these pundits want to admit it or not, pop culture is an intrinsic aspect of the American identity. Years from now, anthropologists will be studying our society's fascination with Britney Spears with the same vigor that they study migration patterns of early man (actually, anthropologists are the hippest and most current of the academic world so bad example). So instead of CNN begrudgingly covering the antics of the celebrity train wreck du jour, they need to embrace it and report it with gusto! Kthnksbai!
