Ugly, Inside and Out: Pictures of Christina Aguilera Without Makeup, and Her Improvements on “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”

 

There aren’t many pictures floating around of the unpainted Aguilera; even many pictures whose publishers claim are makeup-free depict the performer wearing gobs of war paint. And of course, there is the ubiquitous dried-out, bleached mop, tweezed eyebrows, and boob jobs.

I don’t make a habit of re-posting unflattering pictures of performers. A few years ago, I saw a presentation of female porno performers without their war paint, and the effect was quite lacking in eroticism. However, the more I look into female contemporary “celebrities,” the more I see that they are no better. Several years ago, I saw a picture of a makeup-free Jennifer Lopez, who was a Plain Jane, even after getting a nose-job. Just imagine what she’d looked like, to begin with.
 

Daily Mail: “Natural beauty: Christina Aguilera gave a rare glimpse of her natural beauty as she went…”
 

I used to teach at CUNY’s Hispanic-dominated Bronx Community and Hostos Community colleges, where the majority of the students were Dominican, and no one could afford nose, boob, or butt jobs, and yet the average coed was better looking than Lopez was, after she’d gotten her nose job, and more than a few girls there were knockouts. I’ll never for the life of me understand why pretty and even stunning girls (I’ve seen this among white girls, too) will idolize as “beautiful” the overpaid creations of makeup experts.
 

Allegedly without makeup 

I’ve known for app. 20 years that Christina Aguilera is a tramp who wears more makeup than a 10th Avenue streetwalker, but who has worse manners than your average working girl. The recording industry clearly promotes the slut style (think the unfortunately named Charlotte Church), with feminists’ enthusiastic support.

For years, when I ran into men who had teenaged daughters, I would joke to them, “What, do you go around with them handcuffed to one hand, with a shotgun in the other”? Although I sympathized with such men, I never feared what it would be like raising a daughter. Just as my late mother-in-law, may she rest in peace, needed no help from my late father-in-law disciplining their seven daughters, I would never have needed to get involved in beating our daughters, if we’d had any. The Boss is so old school, that if any daughter of ours had ever dared to look, act, or talk slutty, she would have given the girl a good thrashing, handed her the phone, and said, “Here, call child welfare!” (What if the girl had done the unthinkable, and dropped a dime on us, you ask? She would never have darkened our doorway again. But it wouldn’t have happened.)

I was reminded of Christina Aguilera when I re-posted Frank Sinatra’s great performance of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” When I searched for Ralph Blane’s lyrics, Google claimed that they had been written by Aguilera, who had cut a Christmas album, for which she not only dressed like a trollope (yeah, I know, that’s how one dresses for a Christmas album cover), but “improvilated” the words!
 

 

Google: Did You know that Christina Aguilera wrote, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”?
 

Lyrics

Oh yeah, mmm
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out of sight, yeah
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on your troubles will be miles away, oh
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore, ah
Faithful friends who are dear to us
They gather near to us once more, ooh
Through the years we all will be together and
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bow, oh yeah, oh
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now, oh, oh
Faithful friends who are dear to us
They gather near to us once more, oh, oh
Through the years we all will be together and
If the fates allow, oh yeah
But 'til then we'll have to muddle through somehow, oh yeah, oh, oh
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now, ooh yeah, oh, ooh
 

Mmm, yeah, oh.
