Dr. Ink, a usually hip interpreter of popular culture, just doesn’t get the Jennifer Lopez phenomenon. Let’s just call him J-Slo.
The Doc remembers J-Lo as one of the hot Fly Girls who danced on the comedy series “In Living Color,” and as the female star of “Anaconda.” He recognizes that she is what theater folks call a “triple threat”: the girl can sing, dance, and act.
J-Lo, Doc must admit, is also reasonably attractive, especially in a cross-cultural, New York City sense. Her love interests cross cultural lines, at least from P-Diddy to Ben Affleck.
Poynter cultural expert Jeff Saffan argues that in New York J-Lo has emerged as the standard of beauty and fashion. “Those sunglasses you’re wearing –- they are so J-Lo” might be a compliment one young woman gives to another.
Then there’s the booty thing.
Dr. Ink thinks J-Lo has a perfectly respectable derriere. Her royal roundness has even inspired some women to get plastic surgical implants on the flip-side. “Please, Doc, make my butt bigger” is an unexpected development in the history of image and celebrity culture.
When Doc has a problem understanding pop culture, he usually turns to his savvy readers for help. So, please, readers, what’s up with the J-Lo business? Is she really all that and a bag of chips? What is it about J-Lo that Doc doesn’t understand?
