The Identity Canibelles

August 5th 2008 01:58
When Madonna’s “Music” album came out every young girl in the western world wanted to throw on a cowboy hat. At the time I happened to be in Rome. Walking down the Spanish Steps I was greeted by three shops owned by prominent designers, all of which had mannequins decked out head to toe in a ridiculous Madonna-esque Cowboy getup. A few years earlier I remember my younger sister (then 12, now 20) rushing out and getting a redish tinted “Jennifer Aniston” haircut. I don’t remember thinking it unusual then, but I do now.

Is it not possible for young women to possess an individual identity?


One of the best explanations for the blatant lack of individuality can be found in an article by Celia Walden in The Age last week.

Many years ago, a 60's musician and composer, Johnny Hatrford, had a song that is strangely still quite pertinent today. "What's the difference being different when it's difference now that looks alike?" LOL
