Antoinette

Antoinette

A Poem by Einstein Noodle

Antoinette
the heart of her
not nearly as thin
as the veneer
she shines for her peers
adoration evolved
with the monies involved
falling for quicksilver's sin
rainbow festivities gaily begin
locks of her hair
form pride's tempting lair
she chooses herself 
pretty prize on the shelf
two faces the same 
like yin and the yang
balsamic, volcano erupts
applause from placard prompts
promoting pompous barony 
she has changed her name to ................
Tony.

The price of celebrity is too high-it kills both sexes as we find out every day. "The Persona" that is artifice is largely imposed, sometimes delusional. "Adoration evolved with the monies involved..quicksilver's sin"-lethal. Ask Prince, MJ, Whitney, Janis, etc., etc, etc......

this is a fun read! i think it's an interesting theme, a peek into one of the disturbing sides of showbiz/fame. the name change is a great symbol to duality & her changing personality

I had assumed this was going to refer to she of 'let them have cake' fame (and it kind of fits her too) but further reading (and less assuming) I see it's about the price of the fame addiction. God it's terrible though, how many are being chewed up and spat out E. And Mr Cowell industrialised the process like the divil he is.
Excellent write Sir!

Difficult to be oneself when constantly under the glare of the public microscope, in fact as is often the case with celebrity culture, the self become a caricature of itself, many selfs if you like, if that makes sense E?

An erudite observation, in intriguing poetic metaphor!

Whatever a person's circumstance, there are so often two sides: the hidden personal Absolute and, the public face that hints, nudges, proclaims then one day .. one day becomes reality clad in an over.large, heavy facade that hides a once ordinary human being. To stand in front of public demand an its clamour is a killer. Its greed is lethal. Then to our shame, fame becomes a shell.

I suppose it's the old adage. Money talks.
Though in Hollywood, it screams. I must admit, i don't know any celeb i would wait for hours to glimpse.

Really clever
makes me think of this idea of feminism
like a coin
a woman has no longer held onto to her sense of being a female
often compared to men
she lost both sides of that coin
herself and her ambitions

really enjoyed this piece

The masks we wear when we go out in public do not always reflect what is inside the soul. Very good character study, E. Lydi**
