not to say the little girl that was sang during the olympics openings ceremonies wasn't cute, but it turns out she was lipsynching. apparently, the actual singer, Yang Peiyi, was deemed "chubby" and has the jacked up grill of a 7 year old, because she's a 7 year old.i love cuteness, but this is sad. Peiyi IS cute, but i guess she isn't what the opening ceremony committee thought was chinese image material. the girl that was shown singing is a 9 year old that has been in various advertisements.
can't a regular girl with some talent catch a break? i mean, i've always understood all these natural tendencies people have towards attractive people (babies like them more, they are able to succeed in the workplace/businesses because people trust them more, etc.), but apparently, this also means that because of their attractive appearance they should gain the credit and admiration of those around them even for the things that they don't even do. remember c+c music factory? (see music video's section: LINK)
and those of us that resemble the cartoon character Cathy and not Jessica Rabbit, we have to settle for waiting for social security age to be cast opposite estelle getty and betty white to be in showbusiness. sure, Kathy Bates has done ok, playing a psychotic, fanatical, book-obsessed exile, but is that our only option? if we have great personalities and the ability to make 45 year old housewives consider the possibility of homosexual experimentation, we could be talk-show hosts, that's another potential avenue to take. but, let's be honest, those lines of employment aren't the biggest growth industries. oprah owns 85% of the market share.
