I just don't get the deal about Megan Fox. I first heard about her (and wrote about her, too) when there was some discussion concerning the new Wonder Woman. She is in consideration for the role. Then I was looking at YouTube this morning (I have not really seen YouTube, other blogs, etc., recently), and saw an original song about Megan Fox. It just seems that the world is focusing on her, and I can't seem to understand why.
I looked her up on IMDB to get the name of the movie everyone has seen her in – The Transformers. I also saw that she was friends with Amanda Seyfried (who was great in Momma Mia). When I think of Amanda Seyfried, I can't help but hearing the Billy Joel song Allentown in my head. I heard she was from there and have since associated her with the Billy Joel song. Talk about neurons that have been misfiring lately.
I like trivia, and as far as Megan goes, this is what I got from IMDB :
Ranked #2 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2009 list. (she was #16 the previous year)
She has a quote from William Shakespeare's 'King Lear' tattooed on her right shoulder that reads: "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies."
And I saw some other random facts, none of which explains why people really think Megan Fox is all of that. I even watched an interview, and even after watching that, I still don't get it.
This makes me think about Farrah Fawcett, and because of the fractured media we now have, I don't think we will see someone as iconic as Farrah. I mean, everybody, from four to ninety-four probably had heard of Farrah, and a bunch of them talked about what she was doing. I mean, when she was divorcing Lee Majors, it was not like people think, "Do you remember where you were when you found out that Farrah and Lee Majors were divorcing." But it was big. Right now, if I met Megan Fox on the street, I would not know it was her. Even if she said she was an actress, my response might be, "Oh, you are that girl on Friends, right? The one that married one of the Arquette men."
I just hope Megan Fox's car doesn't turn into some demon robot thing that tries to kill me.
About Leesa
LeesaI started blogging to improve my writing; I really did. Painters don't start with masterpieces – they start on scraps of paper, and even when planning a great work, they do many other drawings in preparation. I think writing is the same. You just don't start and finish a novel by merrily typing into the computer; you experiment. Blogging is sort of like a writer's doodling. So this is my scratch pad of sorts. This is less than scraps of paper actually, just 1s and 0s on your computer screen.

Notes on this Blog
Some random notes about this blog:
1. Schedule. I started writing this blog in 1995, and over the past few years, I have tried to write every workday. Then in the summer of 2008, I quit writing for a month or so. Now I try writing three times per week. The quality waxes and wanes. Sorry about that.
2. Leesa's Mailbag. I am trying a new weekly/monthly/semi-annual blog entry called "Leesa's Mailbag". Over the last few years, people have emailed me with questions, and I have answered them on an individual basis. Now, I think I will answer them on a blog entry. Perhaps Friday. Not sure I will get enough questions to do this often, but I will try to answer questions. Sort of an Ann Landers with attitude. Just write to the email address below.
3. My Stories. Yeah, I have a few erotic stories here. I know, they are not all that good, but they were fun to write. Don't read them if this offends you (and they represent less than 1% of the content here). These stories have elements of truth and fantasy, some more true than others. Complain about something that is a bit more substantive if you must complain. I have lots of faults.
4. Layout. My layout is clean and simple. You can tell me it is boring, and you would be right. I just don't want pink flowers and weird colors to get in the way of my words. I have customized my drop-down menus under "Quick Links" and "Blog Roll" so I had to use a little HTML.
Finally, there are loads of better bloggers here. If you like what you read, thanks. If you don't, thanks for dropping by (and I mean this). A few people who comment on my work add immensely to the experience.

I do think she's gorgeous, but wouldn't got to a movie just to see her. I don't get it either.
Oh yeah, I've missed ya.
I think she's attractive and a competent enough actress to manage Transformers (you know, the type of movie that believes it IS TOO possible to outrun explosions), but I don't understand her popularity beyond all the people buying into her own hype. I sometimes hear about complaints from her wherein she claims she's too beautiful to be taken seriously in Hollywood (take that, Charlize Theron, you woofing dog) but other than her own view of herself, I don't see the big deal either.
Hrmm....I think she is beyond gorgeous! I would definitely go see a lame movie just because she's in it. I guess I'm the oddball out here. :\
nope, I'm with ya Deb. lol... I think she is stunning. And I liked her in the first Transformers (sill need to see the second), so I would go to a movie because she was in it.
She has that bad girl quality which makes her look aluring.
Oh my, I have not even heard of Megan Fox. Not sure what that says about me.
She's no PJ Harvey
Charlies Angels seemed like the first show to feature a bunch of girls in a police/detective roll, and they were all cute. Up till then you had all sorts of police shows--Dragnet, FBI, Adam-12, Hawaii 5-0, Streets of San Francisco, Ironsides, Barnaby Jones... Most of the barriers have already been broken, so there's not a lot of new territory for rising stars IMHO.
My wife gets People mag every week. I know I;m old because I don't know who the celebrities are in People, except the ones in the obituaries.
She's a pretty girl, but there are thousands of pretty actresses out there. I'm not sure what the fascination with her is either.
In a related note, I have a niece who could be her twin.
A true icon had a long-lasting arc to their careers. In this day and age, I'm not so sure what or who will have lasting power. Nothing lasts, y'know...
She looks attractive in that sort of detatched dead sort of way......
in other words, she should be hot, but actually isn't.
I have absolutely no idea who or what Megan Fox is, nor do I have any desire to know.
Your comments about Farrah were right on the mark.
I was going to send you a note asking if you are okay, but I lost your e-mail addy. So instead, post a picture of your left breast if you are unwell or a picture of your right breast if things are good but you've just been too busy to keep in touch.
