what is flagrance?
Fla´gran`cy . The condition or quality of being flagrant; atrocity; heinousness; enormity; excess. Flagrance is good! Once upon a time Barra and David decided that if we were to create our own fragrance, we would call it 'Flagrance'. The idea being that it would be flagrantly expensive and flagrantly nice smelling. Well, we don't know how to develop, manufacture, and market a fragrance, so we have made a blog instead. Deal with it! |

"I am above the law!"
There has been a recent surge in celebrity misdemeanors and flagrant crime this summer. It's getting out of hand, and I just can't handle it. Celebrity crime has been going on for god knows how long now, but Im going to start with the more recent cases because they are starting a trend.
Paris Hilton probably got the ball rolling by her recent stint in jail, and I already know what you tiny mind is thinking, well before it explodes I have to tell you to Stop! Yes she got caught and sent to jail for her string of crimes, but she was somehow able to only serve 3 days of her 45 day prison sentence and was then released. That has to be the most ridiculous judicial system in the world. Thank god there was public uproar and she was thrown back in jail. However, she bypassed the law again by only spending 22 days in jail. What a joke!
"Sort your life out" case number two would be Lindsey Lohan. What a train wreck of a person. Being an alcoholic before shes allowed to legally drink is quite an accomplishment. She is constantly being stung by her cocaine habit, and alcoholic antics (all before her 21st birthday and continuing after it too). This summer she has been arrested twice, first for crashing her car and then fleeing the scene (leaving a "usable amount of cocaine" in the car) and then for harrassing her former assistant by chasing after her under the influence of alcohol, needless to say, Lindsay was caught, and upon searching her, they found cocaine in her pockets, her brilliant reply was "these aren't my pants".
Hilarious as that reply was, it will probably get her off a jail sentance in court. Celebrities are getting special treatment from the law these days. Turning up to films sets hungover/sick fom drink and getting away with it is just another little quirk of celebrity status, we all want this power, and so, some of us emulate it (to our detriment of course).
"Sort you life out" case number three, Nicole Richie faces a jail sentance for driving down the highway the wrong way while under the influence of drugs. However, Richie is now pregnant and is publicly "turning her life around in the right direction", these are both viable get out of jail free cards for celebrities.
The list of "SYLO" cases goes on, but the most worrying thing is that these people are looked up to by tons (probably fat kids) of fans. Its not only actors who fuck up in this way, Models like Kate Moss set just as bad examples. Her polar opposite would be Gisele Bundchen, Gisele is an absolute professional when it comes to her job, even if she did do cocaine, she manages to keep her personal life out of the tabloids, and not by being extra careful, but just by not being a complete REMO (check that word up in the slang dictionary if you want the details). The crimes commited by these celebrities are not lighthearted, "ordinary" people would not get the incredibly lax treatment stowed upon these "stars".
And so, Gisele does her job like a professional, Hopefully Allessandra Ambrosio will follow in her footsteps. Similarly, I hope that new actors and actressess like Shia laBoeuf and Megan Fox dont follow in the mongoloid steps of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Somehow, I think that they will have more sense and provide better role models for people to look up to and the Flagrant lawbreakers will be dinosaurs of the past. I didn't need to put in these photos of Gisele and Ambrosio, but who cares.
