I find it interesting that quite often when you ask someone 'why are they entertaining' that people often then say they are more entertaining than xxxxxx when thats just avoiding the question completely.
I have been watching LF a fair amount, and I don't find her entertaining, but what I do find her is quite dominating within her own social group, she has a lot to say, some of it makes sense, and some (I'd say more) makes no sense, or is factually wrong. Having opinions and being able to voice them doesnt make someone entertaining. She speaks a lot but with, I feel, not much that is actually interesting.
It could well be an age thing, I have met plenty of people that have similiar interests to Shabby and can voice there views a lot better, less opinionated and with more content. So to me, Shabby falls into that group of tired subjects voiced by someone that believes they are new and original, but for someone thats heard it all before, its just dull and repetitive.
Clothes and appearance, espeically appearance makes Shabby appear different and interesting, but when you have dealth with people like Shabby before, the image to them is just as important as to someone like Rachel, only its more about appearance unique and counterculture as Rachel is to culture. Yet, its essentially the same in a different group.
There is little unique to her, she tries to hard, and fails most of the time, she's still growing up though, and in years to come may look back at this and wonder what she was doing. She wants to be a film maker but is spending three months (potentially) in the house, when she should be out there working on scripts, or trying something.
Trying to get the fame without the effort. Working and sleeping in a squat/collective is nothing new, and typically faux arty types. I have a good friend that is trying to be a film type, he works a normal job and still produces stuff with his free time, and has got the credits for it. He knows the only way to become something is to put stuff out there. Thats what Shabby should be doing, or at least in the house, talking about ideas, looking at things in unusual ways to get ideas. Rather she's bland, monotonous and without much creativity.
Not the worst, but certainly nothing new. Art colleges are full of Shabby's all of which will amount to nothing without any REAL creativity.
