I continue to watch Bates Motel and this girl popped up and I was like, whoa, that girl is hot. I had no clue who she was but it turns out she is mainly known from the Percy Jackson movies which is a good sign because when I first posted Alexandra Daddario she was this girl I had seen in horror themed media who was basically know for being in Percy Jackson movies. Then she blew up the internet a half a year later. So good sign for Paloma Kwaitkowski then, right? Well, maybe. She’s mainly here because of the visual language of Hollywood. It’s stuff we’re all familiar with even if we don’t think about it and I am not here to criticize it, ti is important. A movie is only 2 hours, a TV show has more hours but they are shorter than you realize, they have to use cheats, visual cues to tell us about the character, to get us to know them without spending years with them. So we make assumptions that would make us an asshole in real life but with TV it’s necessary. So she shows up and she has a piercing somewhere other than her ears (her nose), shortish, choppy hair, she wears more eye make up than the other girls on the show, her hair is clearly not it’s natural color. Your brain goes, oh shit, she’s a bad girl. That girl is wild, she could be trouble. Heart of gold or otherwise, that girl could be trouble. And that is why she’s here, not because I am looking to talk about this but because I am an easily influenced idiot. I see that and for years TV and other media have told me that girl is hot. That bad girl, the girl you should be careful of? She’s sexy. That’s part of the danger. Watch out. And so my mind registers the part she is to play and my brain goes, “That girl is hot. Pay attention, she’s hot. Look at her. Hot”. And we end up here. Because this has happened before. And the truth is the actress is always pretty but often they way she normally looks I would be like, “pretty girl” and move on. But when a TV show tells me to feel a certain way? I feel it. I do what I am told. So she’s here because today I want to fuck Paloma Kwiatkowski.
