ladydraceI cannot keep secrets about myself... Other peoples' secrets: no problem. But my own.... I have no idea why that is.
So here they are. My 3 fandom (not so) secrets:
#1
#2

But I totally subscribe to #3.
Btw, who are #1 and #2?

1 is from The Nanny. A comedy series.

The people in the pic are Niles (The Butler) and CC Babcock (a broadway producer or something). They hate each other... or... well... they snark and bitch for about 4 seasons before they can't stand the tension anymore and falls for each other. Awww.
2 is from Disney's Atlantis.

It's a photo of Preston Whitmore and Thaddeus Thatch.
I think you need to have seen the movie to understand this secret. But it's just so... cute.
(Oh and my icon is from that movie...)

And about the #3, well, I made fun of Britney fans too. All the time. But, that's not to be a bitch. The fact you see she's not talented, and yet, some of her songs touch something in you is quite normal. I have some very embarrassing musical favs, and my friends and son tease me for them all the time. It's just the way it is.
I don't understand why someone could find this secret offensive. But then, I'm always quite clueless about the whys and hows of fandom wank, so...
You should tell Garak to take care of them *laughs*

She sings ok, sure, but she's by no means a musical genius. She doesn't write her own songs and she sets a terrible example to girls around the world. She's a sellout and an airhead, so I feel really bad about supporting her in any way by paying for her music. I only feel a little better from the fact that my CD of her songs is copied, not bought. Ahem.

Date: 2009-08-01 09:19 am (UTC)Seriously, my bf and I had a big discussion about this and it is his contention that there is no "real" music anymore--that most music is produced by record companies that groom kids from and early age to love whatever they tell them to love. That's where Brittney and Justin Timberlake and the Jonas' Bros and Hannah Montana come from.
I can't say I disagree with him. Music seems to have become a commodity for the most part. Really good music (esp. protest music or political music) has to be produced and distributed by the artists because it doesn't fit into the paradigm of these big companies. And then they act butthurt that no one wants to pay the $11 for the CD and instead pirate it online...Solution: Stop making shit.
Now, if you don't mind, I am going to go back to watching the Star Trek vid set to "Circus" (which I am so addicted to its not even funny *hangs head*)

Date: 2009-07-30 11:23 pm (UTC)2: Oh my God, I saw that too! ... Unless I'm very confused about who they are. Which I might be, memory of a pair of fishnet stockings and all.
3: Likewise, I completely agree. Her music is the most arrogant stuff I've ever heard, but it's so *bouncy*. Lucky ... I don't remember entirely what it's about, but I remember the video made me sad.

3: ... eh. I suppose her hardcore fans wouldn't be mature enough at this point in their lives to appreciate that people have different opinions - and even more, that THAT'S OKAY. *grins*
