Fan of Susan

 What is there not to like about Susan Boyle?

Not only is the woman's voice angelic; she is the embodiement of the The Great Fate Dream, the one in which Simon Cowell knocks at our door one morning, with four TV crews in tow telling us that our talent for macrame (or miniature train sets, or Baroque Opera) has finally been recognized.  We will be on television.  We won't have to show up at the office anymore.  Or worry about the light bills and the dog needing to be taken to the vet.  We've crossed over to the golden side of celebrity.

Not that I would actually compare Susan Boyle's talent to macrame. The woman is too extraordinary for that.

And the other endearing trait: her teeth are crooked.  We can't take our eyes off of her, our ears off of her, but her teeth are crooked worse than Edith Piaf's.

Which is why Susan is  the most endearing to us than any of the long string of undiscovered talents.  Not only is the woman telling us that fame can happen to any Susan, her recent transformation is demonstrating that - should one of us tumble into the limelight - she will be able to rely on a small army of hair dressers, make-up artists, fashion consultants, image consultants and marketing analysts to transform her into a pleasant-looking human being.

Never mind our carterpillar eyebrows, stardom awaits us.  Thanks for making the dream come true Susan!
