Apparently, Megan Fox's thumb didn't pass muster to appear in the commercial she appeared in during the Super Bowl.
So, they got a thumb double, a hand model's thumb.
Because someone is only beautiful if every last thing on them is perfect...
Even if every last thing on them is a patchwork amalgamation of lighting and makeup and body/thumb doubles and airbrushing and perfect angles and editing.
I am tired.
I'm so glad we found each other!! (I'm Erin from ThatWife).
ReplyDeleteSo we are watching The Superbowl, this commercial comes on, and I roll my eyes. My husband asks, "Am I supposed to know who this is?" He thought it was just a random commercial actress! I tell him her name, sight her movie(s), and then laugh that I have to explain to my husband who Megan Fox is! I heard this thumb story on the radio this morning, and I went to tell it to him, but he'd already forgotten who she was. The points just keep adding up!! (And totally ridiculous to get a hand double!).
I'm glad we found each other as well! I so love the weirdness of ThatWife, in how all of us from all walks of life so love coming there and discussing random things :)
ReplyDeleteAnd my partner said the same thing about her- he had no idea who she was, and when I said Megan Fox he was surprised, because he knows her but didn't recognize her. Probably that damn thumb double throwing him off! ;)
Haha wow...that's an interesting combination. I almost want to make it vegan!
ReplyDeleteThank you, too :) I'm hoping I win the contest...I just need to drum up some votes.
What? I'm totally going to watch this commercial again. How ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteWhat? a thumb model? What is the matter with us that we are so concerned with ever single inch of our bodies?
ReplyDeletethumb model? hilarious!
ReplyDeletehey, i actually clicked over to your blog from blue-eyed bride's post on blogging. i had read your comment which i agreed with (and in which you mentioned me and my blog in). i want you to know i do not censor any of my comments-- the good, the bad, the snarky-- they all get posted. also, i don't ask my readers to defend me when i get a comment that might not be the greatest. usually if someone starts to try to back me in the comment section i feel even more stupid. because since i've chosen to continue to blog a portion of my life publicly, i am aware that people won't care for it and i think that is just fine. everyone is entitled to their opinion.
i guess i should let you know that the over the top kind and generous comments have often bothered me just as much as a snarky one. i think people forget that it's just a blog sometimes... and that bothers me. but frankly, whether it's a kind comment or a nasty one, i don't base my life or my perspective on myself off of what someone writes in a comment box. and i guess i just wanted to hop over here to let you know that.
have a great week! thanks for helping me think about this a bit more too!
Ah! I hope you know I wasn't trying to make fun of *you*- I seriously do love your blog and check it daily. I'm glad you understand where I was coming from on the public life persona thing.
ReplyDeleteoh I know you weren't trying to make fun of me dear! you were so sweet with your how you voiced your opinion and I agreed WITH you.... i just wanted to come here and comment to be sure you knew how I felt too on the matter, since you used me as a reference. anyway, sorry for the delay. I have been terribly out of the loop this month with my emails/ comment responses!
