Title: My thoughts...
Post by: Mairi on August 16, 2004, 05:20:41 AM
Well, I was thinking the other day that this Cute Beatle label has really been a hinderance rather than a help to Paul because, well, it's kind of superficial huh? I mean it's nice being told that you're attractive, but, in the music industry would you rather be known as the cute one or the smart one?
Besides, we have to face the fact that paul has grown old and is no longer cute. so, he can't escape that label although it no longer suits him. Kind of sad isn't it?

I think his musical chops more than compensate for his droopy mug.  And I know plenty of women who still find him attractive.  It's more than the physical I guess.

Who's the smart one?

You look at Paul's fossilized kisser these days and somehow find something perversely positive to appreciate that Elvis didn't live past 42 (today's the 27th Anniversary of his passing).

Hey, for being over 60 years old, he's not too bad looking. :p

All I can think about when I look at Paul now is how gorgeous he used to be and how I can't believe it's the same person. I don't like his new face lift and dyed hair look. I liked him better with the gray and droopy face. I guess Heather wasn't thrilled about the old Paul either.

Face lifts are like breakfast cereal to performers.

So what?

EVERYone ages (except Dick "dorian Gray" Clark).  Paul had many years of going from pretty-to-handsome-to-kinda cute-to-aged, normal looking.  I think he did alright for himself.

I'm not saying I'm against face lifts or anything. I mean, I live in Los Angeles, it's kinda the norm. I just think he looked better before he had it done. I like him looking more natural. I wasn't digging the Paul at the concert for George wearing all that pancake makeup and trying to make his hair look like it did when he was a fab.  I don't care that he does it, I just don't prefer it. When I compare him to his old self it's only because I grew up staring at the face and memorizing every nook and cranny! So it still shocks me to see him old. Yeah, for an old guy, he does look pretty good! BTW, I think George had aged the best of those three. He looked very sexy even towards the end.

Didn't mean to sound confrontational with that 'so what'?  Your point is certainly valid and not yours alone.

Clearly Paul, of all people, has some major insecurities.  Damn him for being human!  :)
