Gay British, Bad Botox and What’s in Your Drinking Water?
Having a family mix from both sides of the pond, it always amuses me how often British men are mistaken as gay. I used to work with an American fellow who was homophobic and requested of me that I handle our gay clientèle. On many occasion I had to inform him “they’re not gay, they’re just British”.
Simon Cowell, however, does prance along that line and has recently found it necessary to dispel gay rumors and also to affirm his use of Botox: “To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste,” the 48-year-old said. “It works, you do it once a year – who cares?”
Hopefully he has false teeth and uses a mouthwash frequently.
I wonder if Simon will reconsider his cosmetic choice, now that 
certain Botox related problems have come to light. Botox may actually harm you! Who would have ever thought that injecting toxins from bacterium clostridium botulinum, one of the deadliest germs known to man, could cause harm to a person’s body? No one could have seen that coming.
Perhaps it has seeped into his brain, causing him to continue saying strange things to Paula about the moth, the melon ball and the cornflakes and causing people to wonder “what the hell is Simon doing with his hand?”.
Or maybe it’s just our drinking water. According to The New York Times “There are traces of sedatives in New York City’s water. Ibuprofen and naproxen in Washington, D.C. Anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety drugs in southern California.”
Oh, what the right marketing firm could do with water bottled in those cities!
Oh Gawd Jo…How humorous about the British …could it be a carryover from the day of the “dandy”? Or is it the accent and in the walk…or the gesturing? Oh please educate me a bit more on why the Yanks think some UK men seem gay..
And about all the drugs in our drinking water….ugh…up here in the land of BC bud not many would notice anyway..ha ha ha…(too stoned to care) Love Linda
Funny you mention Dandy, because I see Simon as a Latter Day Dandy. As far as the Yanks thinking the Brits are gay, the accent and way of talking is softer and often times more refined and that is perhaps perceived as effeminate. I’m generalizing here.
As for the water, one can only begin to imagine the long term effects of trace elements of pharmaceuticals in what we drink….. and eat, since our food has to be watered.
