it counts for nothing. nothing. not a fucking thing. it doesn't even deserve this sentence. if you are an asshole who judges people by how they look, then yes it matters. according to them, fat people should never be seen outside.
course it counts when its CHANGE..... she looks terrible NOW and has aged badly because, coincidentally, right after being "punk rock" her life fell apart as has her musical career... I can't keep the story straight but its something like five marriages, lesbian minister, drugs, 24 hour marriage a few weeks ago to guy procuring drugs, etc etc. wouldnt be surprised if there was bipolar disorder too... sometimes the way you look reflects what is going on with your life and Sinead's has fallen apart.
