Could the Wino Look Any Worse than This?

I have no idea who's giving beauty (?) advice to Amy Winehouse, but I'm sure some punitive measures are in order. In other words, she should fire her stylist's a*s as soon as possible, call Lindsay Lohan and get the number of a good hair extension specialist. Because really, black was one thing but this new platinum blonde... is just making my eyes water. I mean, we all know Amy's not too much of a looker, but her retro (sometimes over the top, often ridiculed but trademark) beehive, coupled with the heavy make-up, and the jazzy music style somehow (and sometimes) worked. I admire Amy, though - it takes guts (or a lot of booze and crack, but we'll go with the first choice) to go through with such a change. I don't worry, though - if she keeps up using that eyeliner like she does now, she'll have no trouble being recognized everywhere she goes.

The fact is, everything Amy does and says is a perpetual source of wonder and shock to me. From her looks to her life philosophy (the two may be somehow connected), Amy is a bundle of contradictions. For example, the troubled singer believes that alcohol in fact causes much more damage than drugs - which doesn't sound right to me, but then again it may be that Amy is somehow trying to justify her own addiction to herself and to us all. "Drinking long-term is a lot worse than doing heroin. Alcohol's a real poison" she says. You will also be surprised to learn that Amy has quite a good opinion about herself and that she claims she is not suffering from an eating disorder.

"I'm of the school of thought where if you can't sort something out for yourself then no one can help you" she stated in a recent interview. "I don't know whether that's because I'm a strong woman. If I go to the gym and I have a drink, I'm lovely to be around and really sweet. But if I haven't been training or if there's something bothering me, I'm a terrible drunk". Um, the Wino is going to the gym? That's definitely news! And she also seems to think that not eating has nothing to do with her dramatical weight loss. "I've lost the weight because I don't smoke weed anymore" she claims. "I go to the gym, I drink a lot of water and I eat right". Maybe someone should have checked if Amy didn't accidentally inhale some of the hydrogen peroxide they used on her hair, because she sure sounds, ahem, a little high. But who knows? This is the Wino we're talking about, anything can happen.
