![]() Hypomania (literally, below mania): is a mood state characterized by persistent and pervasive elevated or irritable mood, and thoughts and behaviors that are consistent with such a mood state. Here is what we have to say about Tila Tequila, regarding her publicist dropping her, and her recent twitter activity and interviews: I didn’t want to because I don’t ever want to be seen as a “gossip blog” (yes, to us, that is a dirty word), but well, if you can’t tell the difference between analysis of pop culture & opinion on mishandled mainstream issues and “gossip,” then you probably won’t like this site anyhow. So I guess since we are a part of the media now, we have a chance to provide an alternative voice. This stuff always upsets me the way the media eats & spits out these people. Which is all well and good, until the “benefits” of the illness outweigh the danger - a.k.a., when the mind snaps from hypomania to Mania or Psychosis. Many famous artists & entertainers are bipolar or have experienced mania - often it’s mistaken for a show business or crazy artist mentality. And often this kind of exhibitionism is indicative of an emotional instability or budding mental illness that the public fails to notice, as the voices of the Fans (Britney is hot!) and the voices of the Puritans (She should be ashamed of herself! Women should hide their bodies! Sex is bad!) drown the moderate liberal pro-sex feminist voice that wonders if there’s something else at work emotionally. But none of us know how it feels to be that sexualized to that many people at that age. ![]() ( This is a great Op-Ed on the Britney situation) You also may recall that like Tila, Britney as a young girl felt comfortable with a kind of aggressive sexual com-modification that most teenagers don’t - I’m not shaming her for being sexually expressive, and I don’t believe in shaming women for anything they choose to do with their own body. I felt this way when Britney Spears had her public meltdown as well, which in its way was not so different, although Brit is smarter and had more supervision. Look I just want to say something that I don’t think enough people are saying. TILA TEQUILA: Yes, yes! We’re still talking about it. I would hate to think that she’s now resorting to publicity stunts to keep herself in the public eye.” (read the rest at Dani’s myspace blog: obvs) I guess the only thing I really want to say is that when I met Tila, she was sweet and down to earth – but since the day I left the set of ‘A Shot at Love’ I’ve been wondering how sincere our interactions really were… When I met her, she seemed so kind and real. ![]() ![]() It’s been bringing back memories, and making me think back to my time on the show. Today Dani weighs in on the Tila debacle on her myspace blog: “ For the last week or so, I’ve been getting inundated with calls from the press about Tila Tequila. ![]() Dani became mainstream TV’s first genuine “butch” heart-throb. After Tila declared she just didn’t “get” or even like “masculine” girls (which was actually precisely the moment that I decided I couldn’t take one more minute of the show and turned it off, which I realize was like five minutes into the first episode of the first season), she ended up falling for one.
