To BFF or not to BFF
I wanted to come into this contest with an open ming about Paris. Even though she gets a bad rep, I reminded myself I didn't know her personally and I was interested in seeing the real her.
Well, maybe I'm not so interested.
After hearing what she said about Kim and Jessica on the radio, do I really feel that she would make a good friend? Not really.
Sure, she apologized to Kim. But am I interested in befriending someone who could publicly trash a previous friend like that?
Plus, I can no longer force myself to believe that Paris has deeper levels of hidden maturity. Her "public persona" is her, and that's all there is to it. I will try to keep voting for my people though, just because I'm not interested doesn't mean you have to be cynical too.
MTV contact me when you need to find a new BFF for Natalie Portman.
Unhealthy Pride
What is with fat pride? I'm sorry, but there's a difference between accepting yourself at a healthy weight and being proud that you're going to develop diabetes in five years! Isn't obesity one of the leading health problems in the US? Doesn't it kill more people than anorexia and bulimia? Sure it's not PC, but being grossly obese makes you just as bad of a role model to young girls as being anorexic.
Vote for me!
If you vote for me twice (so I can see you on my Who Voted For Me List) I promise I will start voting for you too!
Where in Africa?
Another reason Paris needs me: So she won't make gaffes like saying West Africa and South Africa are countries. And to define gaffe to her.
Miss Bimbo website promotes extreme diets and surgery to 9-year-olds
"A website that encourages girls as young as 9 to embrace plastic surgery and extreme dieting in the search for the perfect figure was condemned as lethal by parents’ groups and healthcare experts yesterday.
The Miss Bimbo internet game has attracted prepubescent girls who are told to buy their virtual characters breast enlargement surgery and to keep them “waif thin” with diet pills. "
What the hell is wrong with people, have you absolutely no social responsibility??? Sure most cultures are beauty obsessed, but this type of brain washing at such an early age is ridiculous. Go read Harry Potter.
Requirements
"You must be 18 years or older (and should appear to be between the ages of 18-24)"
What exactly does that mean? So I'm older than 24 but I could easily pass for 18...
So now I'm hearing you have to be older than 21? It makes sense, I'm sure Paris wants to hang with people she can drink with, but I think there will be a lot of people on this site that are going to be tres disappointed.
I am so smart
I think very highly of myself, but would an intelligent person drop $600 on Marc Jacobs misplaced heel shoes?? I mean, these aren't even classic looking shoes that I can wear forever!
But I hearts them!!!
My ethnicity
Some of you are wondering so:
Half Filipino, the rest is Scottish, Irish and Native American. This means I'm nerdy, tiny and can't hold my liquor.

Those Questions
QUESTIONS!
Do you consider yourself fabulous? How so?
I would say I'm fabulous, but in a different way than Paris. I'm well read, cultural, often overly opinionated, aware of current events and I have one of the best closets in DC (not exactly a huge feat but still!).
What qualities make you the perfect celebrity BFF?
I'm smart and honest. If something looks like a PR stunt to me, I will give my opinion and see how to make it better. If a dress makes you look like a tranny mess, I will not let you walk down the red carpet without knowing. And someone needs to tell Paris that her foundation / base is way too obvious in photographs - her face is a different color than her neck half the time!
What similarities do you share with Paris? How are you different?
Paris and I probably share a great love of fashion and shopping. I enjoy going out to dance, entertainment and pop culture.
Otherwise we're probably very different, I am constantly reading books, I love fantasy and sci-fi and I hold people who don't value knowledge in contempt.
It's hard to stay in the public eye. How would you maintain the limelight?
It's important for celebrities to stay in the public eye without a constant stream of scandal. I would focus on constantly working and doing new projects, going to glam events filled with the paparazzi and using my celebrity to aid humanitarian causes.
More specifically I would try to create a niche clothing line. Obviously the market is saturated but by focusing on a smaller audience would perhaps meet an unmet need.
Paris's New BFF
I think I'd be great because I'm likable but there's no way I would kiss up or lie just to know Paris Hilton. Maybe she needs someone a bit more honest in her life! And definitely some more intellectual snobs.
About me:
I'm not a wanna be. I don't have any urge to be friends with rich, famous people. I do like being friends with people who are interesting, smart, opinionated, and sweet. I think maybe there's a chance that Paris needs people like that to bring out a better side in her.
I'm rather unusual. I love high fashion and write a fashion blog, Fasshonaburu, for fun. I also play video games and read comic books. I love to get dressed up and go out dancing just as much as I love getting in costume and going to the Renaissance Festival. I listen to everything from indie rock to top 20 to classical to jazz.
I'm fiercely loyal: One my friend tried to push her ex into the pool and he jumped out of the way and she fell in instead. I screamed at him and dumped my drink over his head even though I secretly knew she was in the wrong. I'm not an enabler of acting poorly, but sometimes your friend just needs your support, especially when everyone is watching.
