“Fighter”(?!): Christina Aguilera

 

 

 

 

 

Ever seen a newborn fawn? Within seconds of its birth, it stands up on its shaky, thin legs with admirable determination. As soon as it gets up, it needs to run in order to survive in this dangerous world that it has been born into. One stumble, one slight loss of balance might mean it would be dinner for fierce, hungry predators. Rebellion is in its blood: from the moment it's born, it stands up to the vicious world like an idealistic revolutionary, not accepting this system in which the strong rule.
Christina Aguilera has always reminded me of a newborn fawn, not because of her rebellious nature, but because of her crooked, stick-like legs. It is bizarre the way she has always been portrayed as an artist who made it through her own hard work and fortitude: even if she was only sitting in a corner like a sack of potatoes, the blonde hair and the large chest definitely would have gotten her somewhere.
It must have been in order to contradict this very theory that at some point, to change her image, she tried dying her hair black, gaining some weight, even putting some clothes on. But nature calls: people will always return to their roots. So, welcome back Christina, the nude Barbie.
