who on earth would want to be famous??

Greetings all,

Watching the news, filled with phone taps scandals & IT hacking into the personal lives of the rich & famous, i have to ask . . . who on earth would want to be caught up in that??  I cringe when i hear reports of . . . when little children are asked "what to you want to be when you grow up" & they respond "i want to be famous".  Why?? 

This News Limited nightmare of journalists trying anything, at all costs, to get personal celebrity stories is just hideous.  Now the highest ranking police officers from Scotland Yard are resigning as they can't recover from the speculation of their involvement (um, dining a dozen times with the News of the World heads, taking 5 WEEK spa holidays at the newspaper's expense - yes, it's all dodgy) & what - the whistle blower has been found dead in his home overnight.  Are you kidding me??  This is way out of control.  For a story, to sell newspapers??
Don't even get me started on the potential of tapping into the phones of the families who lost allied soldiers in the Middle Eastern wars, that is outrageous!!

So who on earth would want to be that famous & at the mercy of such cut throat desire to expose your personal life??  

Wearing a disguise like this isn't going to help you if your mobile phone is hacked!!

I can honestly say, i'm so not interested in celebrity lives, kind of happy rocking my own little world & focusing on my family instead of what celebrities are doing.  Even worse, the reality star celebrity, i'm still confused at why they are famous anyway.  If they are pretty, can't they just say they are a model, with a brand extending to perfume, calendars & maybe a clothes range??  How does that make them a mega celebrity, photographed at every turn??  Or their parents/ siblings/ pets famous too??  Who is feeding the machine that wants to see the pictures of them shopping/ eating/ dancing/ drinking/ pashing/ holidaying anyway??  Don't get me started on them selling their own sex tapes, shudder, do they have no respect?? 

I had a giggle when everyone was oohhing & aahhing about David Beckham taking a photo of his wife & brand new baby girl, promptly sharing it with the world - i said to my husband "do you think when Victoria woke up, David said in a creepy voice "i've been taking photos of you while you were sleeping"??"  Actually, i can't imagine David doing a creepy voice, his voice is too high pitched & squeaky, but still, i'm sure Victoria is glad she wasn't dribbling & was sleeping with mascara on.  It's a gorgeous image, clearly Victoria at her most natural state.

Fame is a beast, even in small town doses.  I do love the Tshirts which read "i'm famous on line" as i've met some big time bloggers & web shop owners in my time, who strut about & carry on like they are up there with Lady GaGa!!  A little side note on Lady GaGa, what is not to love about someone using her 'freak' status (i mean that in every way - freakishly popular & talented, to her freak show wardrobe & song choices).  If she makes just one out-of-place/ not-conforming-to-the-norm teenager feel less horrible & suicidal about themselves, all power to her & her little monsters.
Just to lighten up this post & maintain the weirdo factor - what kind of child picks up a tissue box cover, an Australian tasteful souvenir styled one & wears it as a hat?? 

Yes, he likes Lady GaGa too.  Yes, the children of Posie are shopping barefoot!!  You saw the images here first!!
So people, just enjoy who you are & be grateful you're not famous, your phone remains untapped & you can walk the streets without a tissue box cover over your face to save you from the papa-paparazzi.  Love Posie
