Okay, no offence to the icon maker, because they're nice icons and she's neither the first nor the last to create some like this, but the subject of the first couple of lines here kind of weirds me out.
It feels like that's slipping from the realms of fan to the land of the stalker.
If I was famous and people were using icons of my girlfriend, or my ex, (unless she was a celebrity in her own right - like a fellow musician, or an actress) I would feel really weird about it. I'd probably feel weird about it even if she was more famous than me, actually.
As a fan, even if I really liked Jeanae (and frankly, as a person - just as a girl from the Midwest called Jeanae - I'm entirely neutral about her because I don't know her), I wouldn't want to have an icon of her on my LJ. It just feels creepy to me...

on 2007-04-27 11:46 am (UTC)Admittedly, it is a little weird seeing as she's someone's girlfriend and not a celebrity herself, but if these are shoot photos then she sort of *is* a celebrity, a teensy bit. If they were just candids then it would be super weird. As it is I still wouldn't do it myself but I can see why someone might...
