Lara Flynn Boyle


What of LFB? I'm not crazy familiar with her work and the movie films/TV show programs I've seen her in Lara Flynn Boyle seemed completely replaceable (Twin Peaks, Wayne's World, Happiness, Baby's Day Out, dating Jack Nicholson). The roles she is playing are simply: the hot 'Not-Blonde'. When she wore a ballerina outfit to the (of course it was the) Golden Globes, it screamed "not-blonde actress is trying to steal attention because she is no longer hot". Admittedly, it was a nice, try (for me to poop on). So why am I devoting my first blog post since my self-imposed blog exile (bloxile) to Lara Flynn Boyle?

NAME. Great freaking name. Sometimes its all you need in Hollywood to help your attractive self get noticed (Hayden Christensen). Lara is unique in that its not Laura. Flynn, besides being Walt Jr.'s nom de plume, is just a strong middle name. It really bridges the gap nicely, while adding a great sense of importance between any two things. Jelly Flynn Holocaust. Shitspread Flynn Bloodpiss. Vanilla Flynn Ice. Boyle is pretty horrible, which makes it perfect (and therefore not horrible) to follow the wonderful Flynn.

I want to help Lara Flynn Boyle. Since you've already associated the name with 'Hot Not Blonde'-ism, I suggest a name change. Not so much a change but a name amping-up/plea-for-attention. My suggestion: L.A. Fly Boy. ITS ALREADY IN YOUR NAME! How many people have awesome names already in their name? It'll come across as post-modern/gender defying/witticism on our increasingly hip-hop culture/hilarious. It's better than any of Diddy Dirty Money's changes, and on par with the artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. L.A. Fly Boy. That'll get you some juicy battered wife roles.
