you're confusing beauty for sex and nostalgia though. it's not the same thing. your opinion is tainted by the fact that you're a heterosexual male who's gone through puberty. and while your description may be poetic, it's not intellectual, nor necessarily true, and thats a result of your wiener getting caught up in it. (same goes for you
@Born to Harangue . ill be talking to you later)
the thing about karen elson is that i thought the same thing before i went through my mystical conversion. i felt the same way about a lot of the elite models, rejecting them at first sight. eventually i almost always come to love them, and while it's not a sexual love, it has something of the deeply personal and lasting about it.
what you've just admitted to is a failure of your own self to meet beauty on it's level. you need to try harder. beauty is not about instant gratification. not all beauty 'hits you'. though sometimes it does, other times it may be of the slow release variety. the analogy i always like to make is to what glenn gould said about music: that it's real work takes place in the brain and that the sound was only the vehicle to convey the 'idea' of the music to the brain. and so while mozart may sound better to the ear, and may be more immediately pleasing than bach, the ideas contained within bach's music are far superior. of course, for those who have not spent a lot of time listening to classical music so as not to be able to identify the superiority of bach over mozart, they will probably on first listen prefer mozart and declare him the better musician--much the same way you grasp at amber heard as being more beautiful than karen elson, because her appeal is more immediately and readily accessible to a lay person. but immediate and readily accessible does not necessarily equal beautiful. and unfortunately in this instance it is not your ear but your wiener that has conveyed the message to your brain, and once there your brain will have no use for it. of course that's probably of no concern to you, but it is to me.
