On this All-American of holidays, how much more of an appropriate article to link to than this one about the Paris Hilton Phenomenon. I hate Paris Hilton as much as anyone AND I don’t find her attractive, so the article really resonated with me personally, and I’m sure it will with others.
I think that one interesting fall-out of Paris Hilton doing… um… whatever it is she does is that I think that there’s a definite backlash against the "hot chick.’ I find myself doing it, assuming that if a woman is good looking and made-up, she’s probably dumb, selfish, self-centered, and/or slutty. Paris is doing a real disservice to her fellow females and any woman who obsesses about her goings-ons should be aware of that.
