Jane Fonda to build shrine of herself

Even Jane Fonda needs a reminder of her fabulousness. At 77, the actress is building a “shrine” to herself that she hopes will boost her recently faltering confidence. “I’ve found myself backsliding a bit of late in terms of where my thoughts have tended to reside (not always with the generosity of vision I wish for) and my confidence has been iffy for the past four months,” the stunning star wrote in a blog post Sunday, her 77th birthday. “So, while meditating today an idea came to me: I’m going to create a shrine to myself – or, at least, the self I wish to be, the self who began to manifest when I was a young girl before the s–t hit the fan,” she continued. The “shrine” will be a small place filled with items that remind Fonda of “the qualities that represent my best self.” So far, she plans to include a school report from the fourth grade. She’ll spend the new year collecting objects and symbols that “remind me that I’m brave.” “I’ve been forgetting that,” she revealed.

I imagine a piece of communist artillery would make a good shrine.

Aimed at her head!

I had to triple check to make sure this wasnt a PARODY!

shes clearly demented

[OldSmaj]

A urinal would be a good shrine for her.

I'd visit it every day.

Huh?

She will need a big fence around it to keep out all the Viet Nam vets from stopping by to piss on it.

Will they stock toilet paper, or do you have to bring your own?

[Slambat]

What she going to do ? Build an outhouse with a red light on it?

[Norm Lenhart]

I’ve built shrines to myself. I’ve raised entire armies. I once even brought light to the darkness and people are always happy to see me.

Of course that’s in video games and isn’t real. The difference between Hanoi Jane and myself is that I’m aware of it.

stupid vile and crazy don’t mix well with senility do they....

You would have to stand in a very long line.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

My advice to her would be to do just the opposite of what she is doing. Focus on everyone else and not at all on herself. She is over thinking about her feelings. Try looking at people who really have it bad and helping them out.

Please make it accessible to the public!!!!

I’m going to create a shrine to myself

a grandiose sense of self importance + exaggerated perception of one's own achievements and talents = megalomania and narcissism

LOL.

So far, she plans to include a school report from the fourth grade

Phew. Will there be enough space in the room for her ego AND a shrine built to augment it?

Actors-I should say, these days, celebrities-have the most strange love/hate relationships with their vacillating, fragile egos.
