Scarlett Johansson and why she is on her game

I was never an avid fan of Scarlett Johansson. I just liked her. Mostly i always liked her face, she really is beautiful in a reassuringly human way. No fixed nose, no fake boobs, no strange features that are alluring because they are unusual and almost alien like ( e.g. speaking of alien Uma Thurman comes to mind) . Scarlett Johansson striked my fancy when i saw her next to Robert Redford in The Horse Whisperer. She was a cute girl that could act and i thought then "hm we are going to see a lot of her".

And then there was Lost in Translation and she shone. I remember being in the movies and watching the film, and what striked me was a scene where she is in her underwear loitering in the room of her hotel bored, and ups! there it was: cellulite. I thought wow she is brave, or wow the editors must have missed that bit of airbrushing. Well...coming to today and her recent photos jogging with new boyfriend Sean Penn, it seems that Scarlett doesn't give a rat's ass as to whether she fits in the anorexic prototype of lollipop actresses that struggle to keep the weight off and turn into hysterical lifeless mannequins instead of people (Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts come to mind). And don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with watching your weight and your figure. But not all women can fit one prototype of long and thin.
Scarlett gave the finger to all that commentary on her figure now, as she has in the past for her choice of men. And coming to men, and the man in question, I was never an advocate for a great age difference but lets face it, who wouldn't want Sean Penn as a boyfriend. He has attitude, brains, wild ways and he is possibly one of the best actors alive. (Milk is just one amazing example). Oh and lets not forget to mention he is devilishly handsome in a very masculine way. Not pretty definitely attractive and desirable.

So here is a picture of Scarlett just after the Horse Whisperer. About 14 i think. She looks identical as her older version today.

No plastic surgeries have altered the Scarlett of today, just clever make-up. Thank God for that and how relieving it is to see real women become actual "role models" for girls everywhere. (i hate the phrase role model but thats what celebrties unfortunately become)

I recently read a comment from a colleague, calling her a fat arse and "what is she doing with that old man".

I thought about him and his petty life. And of all the men -journalists or not- that Scarlett "didn't do it" for them...Men that don't like Scarlett really mustn't like life in its fullest, in my opinion. They do not know how to enjoy things such as...the vulgarity of eating a watermelon and messing up their couch, licking off the chocolate off an eclair and having sticky fingers, having wild sex in the beach with sand going in their private bits, getting drunk with friends and making an arse of themselves, experimenting with illegal substances, grabbing a girl's bottom until she has a bruise, exchanging saliva and other bodily fluids just for the sake of it, crying drunk under a girl's window, risking things for the sake of honesty, being men enough to apologize...in other words doing crazy, dirty, inappropriate things.

Because Scarlett needs a man like that by her side. She is a girl just like Elisabeth Taylor was. I girl that is also a woman, that is naughty but innocent in her originality, that can walk barefoot because she doesn't need 12-inch heels to be desirable and sexy. She is it, sex on legs in the least vulgar way imaginable. She is the girl you wanna make yours. She is what Mairilyn and Elisabeth once were for real men. The absolute fantasy, that in some way was reachable...because it was human.


Scarlett is that girl, and she is not afraid to look like this once in a while.

She actually loves herself for it. She has the confidence not to care what the obsessive minds will think..and lets not forget, she has someone like Sean Penn by her side ;)

 

Oh and lets not forget..she can sing a tune or two !!!
