Diablo Cody: Fcuk my Socks


I am taking 386, which is a case study on Juno and the last class Diablo Cody, the writer, came in to talk to us.  She brought up how all of the sudden she found herself in People Magazine, specifcally about how her tube socks were in style and the next trend.  She went to on to talk about how why anyone would possibly care about a person who prefers to remain behind the camera, yet all this new found attention is being focused on her, and her socks.  My personal theory on this is people are more obsessed with her as a concept, seeing as that she was working in the sex industry and wrote her first film which got made and wont the Academy Award, in a way she represents hope, that there is a chance for anyone to either make it in hollywood, or just in life in general.  To go from bottom to the top that quickly is inspiring, so sub-consciously I think this is why "people" are more interested in her life.
