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.
