Trying to hook up with Tila Tequila
October 12th 2007 03:53
To me, Tila Tequila represents the waste that flows and ebbs through the mangled lines of the Internet. She's one of the 'celebs' of the new Internet, having made a name for herself by having the most popular MySpace page back in 2004 (2003? 2005?).
Having the most popular MySpace page is like being the sluttiest cheerleader. Of course you're popular - but that don't mean you're any good.
My issue with Tequila is that the image she portrays is damaging, I think, to a healthy society. She's somewhat attractive, but with layers upon layers of makeup. She's Asian and rail-thin. She's willing to pose naked and near naked, whatever it takes to get published.
My issue, to continue, is that her image is one of neutered sexuality. All across America, men of all ages are downloading her photos, her videos, buying her Maxim spreads and exercising their vigourous fantasies on her. She exists only as some sort of masturbatory accessory for the lowest-common denominator. Her latest effort, a reality-TV show where she masquerades her porn-friendly bisexuality around for ratings, is only an attempt to bring acceptable sleaze into American homes.
It is, at this time, prudent for me to make a guilty admission: I, too, want to have sex with Tila Tequila. Despite the fact that I despise her. Even conscious of her repellent nature, there's enough savage-male in me to make me want to visit her MySpace page and watch her videos and buy the latest moronic men's magazine.
Bah! I disappoint myself.
It's not sexuality that I protest, but the lack of it from Tequila. Her near-nude photoshoots and her on-all-fours poses are intended to titillate, but without the heavy dreaminess of true erotica.
For contrast, take a look at Monica Belluci. A beautiful, elegant woman. She's wonderful to watch onscreen, she's posed nude often and is a fine example of the aura of sexuality.
In comparison, Tequila is shoddy, sterilized pornography; at the same time, she, along with her usual cast of friends, is damaging the idea of sexuality more than any pornographic movie (well... almost. There's some weird, weird stuff out there). Bring back the sexy women, and cast aside these latex versions of real women.

"...only an attempt to bring acceptable sleaze into American homes."
So when someone cheats, it's Tila's fault because they have seen her show?
Maybe these homewreckers need to start owning up instead.
