Althouse: "As flames of desire sensuously circle around the tub and weightless bubbles become candy clouds..."

January 9, 2012

"As flames of desire sensuously circle around the tub and weightless bubbles become candy clouds..."

"... I step my bare body into a delicious dream."

(Check out the whole slide show. I don't know if this is funny or sad. I'm definitely nauseated, and I had to check to see if I had a tag for "horrifying." I didn't, and I'm not going to make one for this. I have a threshold of restraint when it comes to creating new tags. But if I'd already had a tag for "horrifying," I'd have added it here. Oddly, I did already have a tag for "bubbles.")

Guaranteed she is 100% hairless. God damn it.

MadisonMan said...: She does look awfully old for 17. But the pictures at the end of the slide show, before her rise to "fame" -- she looks like a pretty young girl.

Famewhoring ages you.; 1/9/12, 9:22 AM

Blogwhoring isn't so bad on the wrinkles, but it does go straight to the hips.; 1/9/12, 9:24 AM
KCFleming said...: She used to be pretty, now she looks porn.

It would be useful for some enterprising feminist or onanistic yoot to catalogue all 57 female sexy poses so they can just be referred to by number or nickname.

"No, Courtney, 33.

She is destined for that role eventually. She may not think it now, but it is her future.

Agreed. Although the photos of here before the change-over she does look her age. I still don't believe she was 16 when this all started. She looks older than my 33yo wife.; 1/9/12, 9:43 AM

raf said...: She used to be pretty, now she is "glamorous" -- and looks at least 10 years older. Lessee... the ideal age for a woman is supposed to be half the man's age plus seven, right? So 51/2+7=33. she is simply trying to model the ideal age for her husband!

And if he lives to 85, she inherits at age 51; not a bad retirement plan.

Assuming he is somewhat wealthy, which I do.; 1/9/12, 9:46 AM

"Nauseated"? "Horrifying"?

edutcher said...: If they have enough money to go gallivanting all over the world, as it seems, you'd think he could buy her something more than underwear.

And, Scott, don't you ever do that again. I went back through that slide show envisioning the former House Speaker (no, not Newt) and I almost had to bleach out my eyes.; 1/9/12, 9:56 AM

William said...: "Now she looks porn." You say this like it's a bad thing. Old age would be so much more dignified and comfortable if all of us in our dotage could have a porn star as a home care attendant. Hugh Hefner should open up a string of Playboy Retirement Homes. I think this could be a real growth industry and would dwarf his Playboy Clubs of the sixties as a source of revenue.; 1/9/12, 10:04 AM

Not positions, poses.; 1/9/12, 10:18 AM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: Clearly, Ann, we have differing definitions of "horrifying" :)

She may look good now, but I can guarantee you that she will not age well.

In about 20- 30 years your Pelosi substitution scenario will probably be a best case scenario ;-)

KCFleming said...: "Now she looks porn." ...You say this like it's a bad thing."

It's become commodified: a series of stock poses, overdone fake blonde hair, stupid yammering, and a certain makeup style.

Like there's a Porn Stars for Dummies manual. They all look the same.

WHY WON'T SHE GO AWAY! HEY HERE ARE 18 PICTURES OF HER! But please make sure you are ogling her with righteous indignation!; 1/9/12, 10:29 AM
KCFleming said...: No one's indignant.

It's boring.
Commodified sex becomes boring, mechanical, copy-and-paste, joyless.

The only beautiful picture was the one before she entered the Buxom Borg.; 1/9/12, 10:40 AM

cassandra lite said...: She looked sexier in the "before" pic.

I kept thinking of the priest's line from Harold and Maude (though of course it's reversed):

"The idea of... intercourse - your firm, young... body...comingling with...withered flesh...sagging breasts...flabby b-b-buttocks... makes me want...to vomit."; 1/9/12, 12:26 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: If the age is accurate, she's only seventeen. That's a kid.

Where are her parents? Who is this man who's keeping her like that? He should be ashamed of himself.

It's horrifying and sad the way some adults let kids down.; 1/9/12, 12:35 PM
Bob_R said...: Sorry Freeman, she ain't a kid. Probably hit puberty at 10. 100 year ago she would have had 6 kids by now (four of which survived past two.) Wouldn't have had the boob jobs, but she would have been a good milker. The oldest kid would have been a help around the farm by now. Things are much better now - I guess.; 1/9/12, 12:53 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: One hundred years ago, she wouldn't have been a kid, but she's definitely a kid today. The vast majority of teenagers in today's American society are extremely immature. It's pathetic that none of the adults around her could be bothered to care about her more.; 1/9/12, 12:57 PM
Scott M said...: It's pathetic that none of the adults around her could be bothered to care about her more.

Maybe they do and have zero leverage. As a father, I'm wondering if the predominant emotion I'll have toward one of my daughters, if she grows up into a knockout, is sadness. I suppose it depends on the person she is below skin-deep.

But ain't that always the case?; 1/9/12, 1:02 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: Maybe they do and have zero leverage.

What about the husband? He's fifty-one, and he's taken up with this seventeen year old girl. He's obligated to bother to care, and he must have leverage.; 1/9/12, 1:06 PM
Scott M said...: he must have leverage

I'm betting he does, but it's more of the fulcrum pillow type, or of the sort that is expressed by, "Honey, this is Amber. She's our new special friend."; 1/9/12, 1:12 PM
bagoh20 said...: It's funny how little women understand male sexuality, or maybe they do but just don't want to accept it. Clue: It's not just a different version than a woman's - it's not even related.; 1/9/12, 1:23 PM
Jason said...: Eh, she's 17. She's got a womanly figure, but it doesn't surprise me that she writes like a 17-year old.

She'll grow up in time, and be as horrified by what she wrote as Ann.

Meanwhile, I'm inclined to cut some slack for her.

For her husband who allows her to do this to herself in public? Not so much.; 1/9/12, 1:41 PM

JAL said...: When they got married they were on Nightline or something. With Mom.

Mom all for the marriage. Claims to be a Christian. (!) Mom too.

Courtney was a beauty pageant princess. Appearances became very sexualized. (She may have hit puberty on the early side.)

Her speaking voice is just plain weird. Really bad Marilyn Monroe imitation or something. Vaccuous seems about right.

I looked at the pictures and, granted, she is married now (in Nevada where it was legal because she was 16 when they got married), but I wondered "How did this mother let this happen?"

(I can't believe how much I have retained about this very sad story. An understudy for Anna Nicole Smith?)

Sad.; 1/9/12, 11:40 PM
