Creative Captioning: Courtney Love's Celebrity Skin
Oh Courtney, have you ever looked so used up as this? You're a rock goddess -- not only did you marry grunge martyr Kurt Cobain, but you turned out two defining albums with your own band, Hole. We want to love you, but you scare us. And, thanks to the snapshot below you've landed in a very bad place -- as the subject of this week's Creative Captioning contest.
Let me explain. Inspired by your pic, Celebritology readers will craft hilarious captions -- some innocuous, some catty, some absurd and some borderline offensive. Doubtless some tsk-tsking will take place to admonish us all for having a little bit of fun at your expense. But, hey, at least you're not wearing Comme Des Garçons (I think). The best caption will be elevated to a position of prominence here in the blahg and its writer will earn the right to tattoo his "Official Celebritology Creative Captionologist" on his (or her) pec if he (or she) so desires.
Winning entries will be announced Monday. Don't worry. I'm sure you'll live through this.

there it is...
once again - Liz feels compelled to hound us with her unhealthy Courtney obsession... as a result the washington post talks about courtney love more than Rolling Stone... and imo the only thing 'defining' about her albums with hole was that one could easily put up a picture of Courtney under the urbandictionary definition of the term.
i'd lob out a caption, but Byoolin's Blackwell comment wins the thread ;)
