Jane Fonda to build shrine of herself
2014-12-24
Anyone up for a beer bust?
Even Jane Fonda needs a reminder of her fabulousness.

At 77, the actress is building a “shrine” to herself that she hopes will boost her recently faltering confidence.

“I’ve found myself backsliding a bit of late in terms of where my thoughts have tended to reside (not always with the generosity of vision I wish for) and my confidence has been iffy for the past four months,” the stunning star wrote in a blog post Sunday, her 77th birthday.

“So, while meditating today an idea came to me: I’m going to create a shrine to myself – or, at least, the self I wish to be, the self who began to manifest when I was a young girl before the s–t hit the fan,” she continued.

The “shrine” will be a small place filled with items that remind Fonda of “the qualities that represent my best self.” So far, she plans to include a certificate of participation in grade school soccer school report from the fourth grade.

She’ll spend the new year collecting objects and symbols that “remind me that I’m brave.”

“I’ve been forgetting that,” she revealed.

#19  A shrine is a good idea. It will give Americans a place to relieve themselves. A statue is not necessary there are gargoyles on a lot of buildings. I can't imagine she has a "best self", the word "best" and Jane Fonda in the same context is an oxymoron.

#16  She could build a pile of them on a bonfire, then stand on top of it and ignite while screaming she's queen of the world. I'd buy tickets.

An empty cardboard box should be sufficient.

#5  "She’ll spend the new year collecting objects"
OK, I'll play...
A run-over beer can... a bent nail... one rubber boot found by the side of the road... an August 1982 TV Guide... a dead raccoon... a Christmas tree somebody threw out...
Sounds like she's trying to get a gig hosting "Hoarders".

Yes, very "small place"...nearly subatomic in size.
