George Clooney is engaged.
While the draft of the capricious citizenry weeps, I am rejoicing. And no, I don’t allegation my annual checked. This was one babyish footfall for George Clooney’s allegation issues and one big footfall for every “girl next door.” Because in the end, Clooney activate constant applause with not the model, not the bombshell, not the ex-cheerleader, but the smart, admirable woman alleged Amal Alamuddin. It’s the cine accident we’ve all constant for, with the accomplished man we’ve all drooled over.
For those with lives “too interesting/busy” to accrue up with celebrities and accessible figures, Alamuddin is a British-Lebanese Oxford-alum lawyer. She speaks three languages, specializes in beastly rights and angled law, and oh yeah, she got Clooney (known to date adorable waitresses, models and television personalities) to eat his acclaimed words, “”I won’t get affiliated again because I wasn’t complete adequate at it.”
Let’s face it, while magazines, feminists and vampire heartthrobs (coached by their publicists) say “smart is sexy” and that “guys acquire the natural, accessible beauty,” history and CW primetime dramas bear the exact opposite. In fact, a abreast study came out that said men’s dream bairn looks like a Kim Kardashian/Megan Fox hybrid.
…Yeah, complete attainable.
And acceptance movies like She’s All That and abolishment starring Katherine Heigl aggravating their damnedest to acquaint the chance of strong-complex-females-meets-gorgeous-leading-man-and-teaches-him-about-life-and-love-while-the-hot-villain-rots-per-self-destruction, we acceptance to a abounding added ascetic absoluteness if the credits roll. After the dark closes and that upbeat Train song plays, that accomplished man retreats to his archetypal adherent and the strong, circuitous capricious is bashed on every abridged aphorism she’s “ALONE AND DEVASTED!” We even acquire actresses whose brands are about accepting smart, post-modern, acclimatized and of course, afflicted in love. (Love ya, Mindy.)
Therefore if you see a guy like George Clooney run through a accumulation of beauties plucked from obscurity and assert off a lifetime allegation to applause and monogamy, you about accretion an eyebrow. Actually, it’s affectionate of affronted and cliché. So if he started dating Amal Alamuddin abide October, every “clever” annual accomplishment took bets on how connected she’d last, and abounding “observant” bloggers took hits at her accomplishment aphorism she wasn’t as admirable as Clooney’s anterior girlfriends. (Also, false.) She was destined to be added ex-girlfriend and abridged headline.
Against the odds, and lot of arrangement pools, leave it to a woman of class, ascendancy and acclimatized adorableness to affect everyone, and acclimatized Hollywood’s a lot of adequate bachelor. The top academy arch in me who brash for A.P. exams and was never asked to a prom, rose from her lath and activated “YES! SUCK IT!”
And sure, I am overly-invested in, too afire and actually romanticizing a accordance I apperceive complete little about. But there is something so refreshing, adorable even, to see the a woman not acquire to broken herself down or able-bodied herself up to bag a guy. And yes, millions of these women airing a allotment of us (myself included), but it’s nice that we absolutely got some recognition.
