See Jane, Really See Jane

Hi Kittens. I just felt like dropping in a little reality check about this business we call show. I started this blog more than 10 years ago to chit-chat about the effervescent delights of pop culture through the lens of this rather opinionated gay gal. Over the years I’ve also delved into current events, LGBTQ rights, feminist issues and the hellscape of politics (particularly this current and pressing Trump-shaped hellscape). But it’s also good, sometimes, to step back and laugh. Now, perhaps, more than ever.

So please allow Jane Fonda’s Instagram to remind us that celebrity is, and will always be, a beautiful illusion we’ve all bought into to distract us from make the mundane realities of everyday life.

Here is the quintessential before-and-after truth of Jane at last fall’s LA Museum of Modern Art Gala.

Before:

Here’s me on the red carpet of LA Museum of Modern Art gala
