I've been thinking about faces a lot recently, no not faces, poses, people's face poses. THANKS ALOT EUSA ELECTIONS.
I'm so distracted.
So anyway, I was thinking a lot about people's common photo pose when on Guardian website and I couldn't help but look at Charlie Brooker for a long, long time.
I don’t mean to poke fun at Charlie Brooker no it’s just that he is a prime example of having ‘a face’. From picture to picture, book cover to book cover.. or is he only on ‘Dawn of the Dumb’ whatever it is he always looks serious, but a bit pissed off and then slightly confused, as if he quite likes that shit that he's hating on so much on tv. Which I think he is getting at in every write up he writes up (imaginative english skillz)
Perhaps though, having ‘a face’ is a good idea. Think of Marilyn Monroe, yea, exactly you have no problem remembering her face, it’s iconic, probably through Warhol garishly (not that I don’t like it) repeatedly burning it into our retinas (which I’m not complaining about).
In fact, take someone like, say, no actually. Let’s take Lady Gaga. Everyone knows her. Or at least they know her costumes, you can sort of imagine her face, pretty sure she is (usually) blonde, has a distinct nose and huge black voids for eyes. I think, the problem with her face is it changes too much/hidden more often than not with all manner of things. Wait I forgot my point... SKIP TO THE END:
‘the face’ (if a good one): is great, it will create an image of you for all time, think about that EUSA candidates
Lady Gaga: I will never remember what she looks like, in my head is a mix of raw meat (waste) netting, telephones, Beyonce (hawt) and messsss.
Actually no, scrap everything I just wrote - I will remember what she looks like for eternity because I just remembered she looks like an egg.
