blush eyeliner hush see what u made me do?
The world is in shock. It’s been reported that Paris Whitney Hilton looks better without a shitload of makeup. News cameras caught her leaving the Lynwood cage at midnight late last night in rare form: Makeupless. Much to the surprise of the media, they actually think she is better looking without the contacts, the lipgloss, the eyelash extensions, the hair extensions, the lip liner, and all those other brushes she has used in the past to paint her painting.
My question is, why does Paris wear so much make-up? People think she’s prettier without it. Is it because she’s in the zoo vs. the jungle? Is her mom telling her to do it? Or is it because she has access to more makeup now that she made all that money from dancing with the devil in her homemade video? These are the things I think about.

So I guess this means you didn’t catch Inside Edition today? They just had a story about the makeup tips Paris gained in jail that may have lent themselves to her not-so ‘just got out of jail’ look as she emerged from the slammer last night. Apparently, resourceful inmates use Flamin’ Hot Cheetos as blush and/or eyeshadow. The makeup artist said this was actually a great idea because Hot Cheetos are basically a little brush pre-filled with colored powder. This genius also informed me that inmates use Crystal Lite powder mixed with Vaseline as lip color. The model and makeup artist had a little laugh because ‘hehe, it tastes good too’ …Another tip I learned was that scraping glitter off of a greeting card and applying it to ones face can ‘provide some much needed sparkle during the inmates darkest days’… so don’t chalk Paris’ glowing look up to simply being drunk on freedom– chalk it up to Crystal Lite… and glittery fan mail….
(oh- also, the prison guard they interviewed said inmates get to visit the restroom once freed and may apply makeup at that time if they so choose- so her glow could be attributed to that as well– but I find it infinitely more amusing to imagine Paris trying to catch her reflection in the back of a spoon while rubbing Hot Cheetos on her eyelids… but hey- that’s just me)
don’t suck me in. i have real work to do
Maggie, that’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time. You watched the same PBS special about prison that I did, didn’t you?
is the makeup for the wearer or for the observer?
is it there to attract the observer, or hold them at bay?
Just when you find a place you can go to to get away from the crap? What the heck is going on here? Did I really just read a post and comments on the heiress girl in the news?
it may be a post-modern pop-culture metaphor, so it’s really hard to say just what the post and comments are about. You get to choose. asstral is all about freedom of thought, with one noteable exception.
McRossi. Laughing at this one. Read the Lion post. It will make more sense to you.
Better start with the “i’m worried” post, or the lion won’t make sense.
Clever way to make people read the whole blog, asstral.
Maybe this is just the beginning of Paris’ journey in learning how to become a celebrity/heiress and learning about the value of make-up and when to use it and when not to use it. Is Paris transcending her cage in the zoo? Are we all prisoners of some sort in our own self-imposed cages? What if we roared? If no one was there to hear it, would it make a sound?
P’Goo — that was hilarious — you’d have to have read every word of this blog like I have to have it be quite this funny. Can you feel a well acted ‘pained’ roar vs an authentic roar? And when MGM’s Leo the Lion gave his great roar was it in the studio with just producer types around or did he roar in a small venue with a great sound system. Are his colors that vivid naturally or did he have ‘help’ some eyeliner maybe a dash of Henna? I wrestle with such musings. Could he repeat his roar at will or was it just happenstance? We are all in some type of self-imposed cage — some cages have makeup but there is never enough of it.
Paris, cerebral? Soul? Spiritual? I just want to know which enlightened Rinpoche told her to wear blue contacts. Oh the suffering of samsara. A cage without blue contacts. Back into the jungle. Now she can truly roar without all the paintbrushes. Lesson learned. Next.
You don’t need to justify your posts. If I can deal with your inscrutable ways, surely these people can.
Ok, thanks for giving me my peace back. And of course, thanks for connecting the dots. I am rolling in harmony again. (Oh brother!)
Glad to hear that, McRossi. Welcome to our world.
