glamour, shoot
 |
I've heard it said that there is no such thing as bad coverage, and I'm sure it's true of the coverage the lovely and glamourous Dawn Eden of The Dawn Patrol received from Christopher Hanson in his op-ed in the Baltimore Sun.
 Hanson |
Case in point: "The Dawn Patrol," Manhattanite Dawn Eden's preening report on Dawn Eden, iconoclastic neoconservative "petite powerhouse," illustrated with Dawn Eden glamour photos.
You know, one convenient thing about being part of the Old Media is that it's not necessary to read up on your subject. Case in point: Dawn's blog isn't illustrated with Dawn Eden glamour photos. Oh, wait, Topher, sorry, did you mean this? You need to get out more often.
It brings to mind a memorable scene from Napoleon Dynamite:
[Deb is making a glamour shot of Uncle Rico]
Deb: Okay, turn you head on more of a slant...
[all three turn their heads in a slant]
Deb: Now, make a fist. Slowly ease it up underneath your chin.
[All three slowly ease up fists under their chins]
Deb: This is looking really good.
Kip: You can say that again.
[Uncle Rico acknowledges]
Deb: Kay, hold still right there. Now, just imagine you're weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses.
[Uncle Rico pictures it and give a gleaming look at the camera]
Deb: [takes the picture] That was one that I think is gonna come out really nice.
Uncle Rico: Ah, how you did it... wow... well I felt really relaxed. Thanks Deb.
[Uncle Rico puts his fist down, then swats a fly]
Uncle Rico: You're up Kip.
Kip: Is there some kind of vest that I can wear?
[makes gesture of putting on a vest]
Shine on, you crazy diamonds.

I think I smell moral TERPitude up there, Jack ...a moral TERPitude at the Old Media center of things -- and in which we bloggers don't figure at all. [Thanks all the roaring night for the set up, Kenneth. Your stuff still rocks.]

That picture up there of you, my brosky, is adorable. Hanson is lulu. There- I said it. (Although, Dawn is cute as hayell. When it comes to roots, however, she is a rank and silly amateur. I'll show you roots...)
And Dabu, I ask for the zillionth time- when you gonna write, man? How many decades I gotta wait for more?

You SHAVED! Wow, you're cute! (I mean, handsome; you know how girls talk.)

Thanks! I was going to hang a tiny little seahorse from that towel hook in the background, but then I decided to just imagine it.

After reading Hanson's entire piece I had to admit he made some good points. His attack on Dawn's Patrol made him guilty of the very thing he was lamenting about the blogosphere. Unless he has a very different definition of "preening" and "glamour" than the rest of humanity, he hasn't bothered to read the blog. BUt I had a little fun with it too if you check the trackback.
