I’m not angry, just disappointed. I tell this to my son all the time. When he does something that he knows better than. When he doesn’t display the intelligence that we both know is there. When he thumbs his nose at family rules he can recite on demand.
Her New York Magazine photo shoot shows just how much Lindsay Lohan misses disappointment.
I’m not one of those people who loves to watch Lohan destroy herself. I’m generally one of her apologists who considers what I would have been like at 19, 20, and 21 in her position. But at the end of the day, I had parents to disappoint. And when you have a functioning family, disappointing your parents carries weight.
To be fair, she doesn’t have that. She’s working her way through fame, fortune, and misfortune with no one that really matters at her side. The result is that she’s already at the point of taking off her clothes to resurrect a floundering career. That’s par for the course for a 30-something actress proving she’s still pretty enough to draw eye-balls, but kind of ridiculous for Lohan.
I know she took the artsy route to naked, but it’s a thin disguise for desperation. She didn’t even get the paycheck that’s been on offer since the minute her breasts turned 18. She stripped down to nothing for… well, for nothing. The financial figures surrounding the New York Magazine shoot are thereby continuing the trend of her dysfunction proving profitable for everyone except her.
Her family is… not a family, her friends are coasting on her bank account, and the media doesn’t care how she screws up as long as she does it on camera. She’s got everything money and fame can possible get her. But she needs one of the few things they can’t… she needs someone who cares enough to be disappointed. Here’s hoping she finds them.
