The Sunday Mail’s ‘You’ magazine did an interview with the minxy little minx that is Lilly Allen. I actually like the gal; she’s outspoken, cheeky, wears her heart on her sleeve and is a bit of a lary lass. But her comments made me laugh! She said she thinks it’s a shame that people like Paris Hilton and so on are role models for today’s ‘yoof’. Since when? There’s this misconception that teenage gals actually aspire to be like the media freaks that spread themselves (and their legs) across today’s press.
You gotta give today’s teenagers some credit, ya’ll! Yeh, I think they look at Paris et al and think ‘nice dress hon’, ‘lovin’ the hair babe’ and ‘yowsers, where’d you get dat lipstick?!’ but I really think that’s as far as it goes. It’s a superficial admiration.
Maybe I’m wrong but I actually think most gals of the 15-6 mark have much better role models when it comes to the stuff that goes beyond the lip gloss. It might be related to their ideal career (like the editor of their fave magazine; successful authors; top sportsperson; fashion designer etc) or someone they truly admire (like their mum, aunt, friend’s mum etc).
Am I the only person to think teens’ admiration of the likes of Paris and Nicole goes no further than the lip gloss … ?
