Google: Lindsey

So, last class Kevin challenged us to Google something (our names, for example) and then write a poem based on the images that turn up. I chose to Google my name, and wasn't entirely surprised by what I found. I was a little surprised at the lack of images of Lindsay Lohan, but I'm really glad about it too.

The majority of the pictures were blondes sitting around posing in bikinis. Don't they have anything better to do? I even found a couple of them sporting the dreaded "fish lip" look. Eww. There was one image that helped save my slightly shattered ego though: a Lindsey playing a violin! Hurray! Not all Lindsey's on Google appear to be flakey, bimbo bitches!

Here's the first draft of my Google image search results:


Google: Lindsey

Girl smiles with confidence
Girl hides behind thick lashes and black eyeliner
Blonde hair dominates society
Girl presses naked boobs to surfboard
Girl with pearl earrings grins
Girl with violin violently smirks
Skimpy bikini tops trump sweaters
Girl pouts, faking fat fish lips
While gripping a large microphone
Girls in red, girls in white
Big hoop earrings, gold and silver
Surprise! One man joins the crowd


Let me know your thoughts. I'm not too happy with how it turned out, but I think with some tweaking and adding and subtracting, this poem could be really interesting. I was also playing with the idea of moving it into a prose poem instead of a list poem.
