[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 237199, member: 8"] ...he said two years ago. (and my [I]Sisters[/I] rewatch has been massively sabotaged by lots of other priorities). [ATTACH type="full"]22572[/ATTACH] I must say that Footballer's Wives has aged very well, it kind of feels like reading a trashy tabloid that has lots of sexy paparazzi snapshots. Chardonnay is the gorgeous model who takes her Page 3 career very seriously and eventhough it's being sniggered at I think it signals a more unapologetic approach to fame and vanity and nudity in a mainstream context. Footballer's Wives partially thrives on the idea of fame-for-all-and-sundry, something that will develop into much more extreme examples thanks to the internet. Paris Hilton is the queen of Fame4Fame, and very popular youtubers can become millionaires. So there's already a sense of embracing popularity, regardless of the why and how, when Chardonnay refuses to give up her career in order to become a supporting footballer's wife. You really can't compare this to cult icons like Brigitte Bardot, because she was French so everything she did was [I]art[/I]. It's as simple as that.
