Celluloid Heroes

~ Laura

AngelinaAs I got the kids ready for school this morning, I pondered my clothing choice. A black shirt, tight jeans, and the boots with the two inch heels. Five days in a row wearing black. Was this a soccer mom faux pas? Should I change into running shoes and a pastel turtleneck? Lately, when I have questions of this magnitude, I ask myself “What would Angelina do?”

See, I have decided that Angelina Jolie is my parenting role model. She travels the world with her multi-racial children. One of them has a mohawk. She and her fake boobs and tatoos frolic with the kids at the park. She sucks face with Brad Pitt at indoor playgrounds. She’s totally my hero.

So, when I had this serious fashion decision this morning, I asked WWAD? Would she wear black, again, and potentially freak out fellow parents? Oh, yes she would. She would probably add a vial of her own blood to the outfit, but I decided to give that one a miss.

Question of the Day: Angelina or Jen?

  1. Angelina J. does have it goin on. She’s politically aware, naturally beautiful and has that certain something. So I can see the role model thing. On the other hand, for some reason I get a “may have a venereal disease” vibe from Angelina.
    Yet Jennifer seems wholesome and vd-free.
    So that puts me in the middle somewhere.

  5. Did you see what she wore to Capitol Hill? Tres chic! Though, she had the same maternity outfit in both grey and black! (See People magazine for photos w/BP and Bono.) I’ve always had disdain for JA all-Americana feel, so I’m quite pleased BP is w/AJ.

  6. Angelina’s a freak, but maybe if she gets nice and bloated when she’s pregnant, it’ll make her seem more human and less like a living mannequin.
    Gotta go with Team Aniston, she handled being dumped with global publicity pretty damn gracefully if you ask me.
    And this is the second time Angelina poached someone else’s guy — Billy Bob Thornton was living with Laura Dern, did a movie with Angie and ditched his fiance. I don’t like the way she operates.

  8. Elastigirl rocks. My tag line is a quote from her.
    The problem with team Aniston is that she’s just sooooo boring. Boring hair. Boring clothes. Snore-city. She’s also too princessy to pump out a baby. No stretch marks for her. She’s upped her stock slightly by getting loaded with Vince Vaughn a few times, but still getting pounded by Team Jolie, despite its vd/housewrecker issues.

  9. I dunno, there’s something so tacky about a Billy Bob Forever tattoo. (Or did she get that removed?) Given my lack of tv/pop culture knowledge, I can’t believe I’m even weighing in on this debate. The only time I find out about this stuff is when I read People Magazine in my shrink’s waiting room. nevertheless, this does not seem to be the kind of thread that lack of knowledge should preclude one from commenting on. I used to think Angelina was really hot, but now she just seems a little weird-looking to me. I think I have to side with Allison and go for Aniston.

  10. Both cool, so I’ll take a character that either played:
    Angelina in the movie in Life or something like it, where she’s the TZv reporter after she gets shot or as the tomb raider or the role she had in H4ckerz.
    Jen in Office Space(any woman that likes to watch Kung Fu). I think her role in Leprechaun 2 is also classic.
