Vanity

Both Stuart Goddard and Prince (I think) had affairs with Vanity.



I mean, the singer Vanity, not the concept:

Or do I mean both?

Anyway, if narcissism is attractive, then Stuart Goddard and Prince are worthy rivals. I'd pay to see them in the ring together for pose-off. Who would win?

I must say, though, I'm a bit suspicious of the definition of narcissism offered by PsyBlog and Back. I always thought that I must be a narcissist, but I don't recognise myself here:

The article reports an experiment by social psychologist Mitja Back which found that narcissists make a good first impression because they look, sound and move better. They use charming facial expressions, have a more confident speaking tone, wear more fashionable clothes, have trendier haircuts and are funnier.

Wow, what's not to self-love? Narcissists sound like attractive hipsters! They must get laid a lot!


I suppose I must be one of those execrable inverse narcissists, the very lowest of the low. Just my luck. Oh well, I suppose I can't help it. People will just have to love me or leave me. I'd prefer the former, of course, but I know what will actually happen.
