About fame, breastfeeding and stupid things

I decided to share my blog with a few more people (FB) and I must say that I had really nice responses!! I love writing and it feels good to know that someone out there actually thinks that what I write is not boring!
It was getting kind of sad knowing that for a while I was writing for my husband and me (LOL).
I mean, I could have just sent him an email instead of going for all the trouble of creating an account and having to log in, then adding pics, checking for spelling...

All my followers for a while

So if you're reading this, and you're not my husband, please follow me!! That way you will receive a notice when I write a new post!

I've been reading this week a lot of stuff about Gisele Bundchen saying that breastfeeding should be a law... And all the hatred responses that came with it! Quite impressive actually. First I thought wow, people are so passionate about  breastfeeding... Then I thought wow, women are so jealous of Gisele.

OK, I can see the real reason why you hate her!

Then I thought wow, I wish I could raise that many eyebrows by just saying something without the proper thought.
If someone is good at saying stupid, non thought things, that's me!!! I'm the kind of person that just says whatever comes to her mind, sometimes they come a bit too much, but sometimes they come out just right!

The thing about me, is that if you don't know me, you'll just think I'm some kind of crazy egomaniac trying to call all the attention. And while all of it is true, I'm not a bad person! I'm actually a very good friend (ha ha, that comes with the ego you know, you have to know what you're good at!), when you need me, the chances are you'll get my help, or support. Even money if you need it (tho I probably need it more than you LOL).
I know I'm obsessive-compulsive and very obnoxious at a certain point in the night, but that doesn't mean I don't love you!!

So going back to the Gisele thing... I've been reading blogs for a while, and I watch TV off course, and read the news, and watch the news... You know, keep myself informed! And no matter how long it's been, I'm still more and more impressed every time I see the reaction people have with celebrities.

I come from a country where the biggest celeb is probably the president. And even they get kicked out when they do something stupid. We don't really have celebrities around here... So if someone is on TV saying their opinion out loud, no one really cares, because probably no one really knows who that is, or what he does.

Any one can be on TV over here. I mean, I've been on TV a few times, and on magazines and the newspaper. It's not such a big deal. You can get a call any day of the week and there will be someone saying, hi Carolina, I'm friends with such and such and she gave me your number and I want to interview you because she told me you make really nice clothes... Or you have 3 dogs... Or you colored your hair green... Or you have two eyes... Anything really.

Me as Andy Warhol for a Warhol special

 
If they have space on those pages, they'll call you! Now, if I lived someplace else, like, say the U.S., that would be very different! I would have at least thousands of people trying to find out what my twitter account is and what my dogs names are so they can send them personalized gifts.

OK. Once again I'm exaggerating. But you get the point. Around here, nothing really happens!

I'd like to see what would happen if I were famous and said something really stupid. The kind of things I say any Friday night! That would be a nice what if to see sometime. Like those Nicolas Cage movies where he imagines what would be of  his life is he wasn't rich and had everything and instead had a crappy house and 2 random kids with his high school sweetheart.  (OK there was only ONE Nicolas Cage movie like this, but it seemed like 20)

Hilarious?? Come on... Depressing is more like it!

I don't appreciate fame so much, all though I know it can be very cool having people recognizing you anywhere and taking your pics and saying your name and knowing all about you and sending you gifts and following you everywhere and...
Wait.
Why is that cool?
You don't even get to say stupid things anymore because people will stop judging you in silence and start judging you in public!

Let's face it... If you're some regular person saying stupid things, people think you're crazy. If you're a celebrity saying stupid things, people think you're stupid!

I rather be seen as a crazy person than a stupid one!
