Why Do Girls Go Wild?
» Adult
In her profile of Joe Francis mastermind behind Girls Gone Wild journalist Claire Hoffman asks a couple of girls why they are willing to wriggle before the cameras.
Bimbo #1:
“Anybody enjoys the attention. T-shirts, hatswe got all the accessories,” she says. I ask if she plans on going wild for the cameras later. She shrugs. “If you do it, you do it,” she says confidently. “You can’t complain later. It’s almost like your 15 minutes of fame.”
Perhaps we could call this the Age of the Devaluation of Fame.
Bimbo #2
I ask her why she wants to get noticed. “You want people to say, ‘Hey, I saw you.’ Everybody wants to be famous in some way. Getting famous will get me anything I want. If I walk into somebody’s house and said, ‘Give me this,’ I could have it.”
Or laughed at and shown the door.
