celebrity earthday Elle magazine fame ice age  In my recent interview with Mother Nature, I was shocked to find out that even the mother of us all has to deal with the downside of fame:

“Don’t get me wrong- I’m glad people are finally starting to recognize me again. I was getting a little sick of just being walked all over …But all this attention is getting to be a bit much. I’m afraid people are getting obsessed with me as an icon and forgetting about all the important work I do.”

Some of that unwanted attention includes having her image plastered on everything from t-shirts to canvas grocery bags, being stalked by over-zealous fans claiming to study her, and of course, the paparrazi.

After further research, I realized that MN has an incredibly valid point. Photos of her are all over the Internet. One of the most intrusive is an aerial shot of her summer home:

There are also gossip sites galore, posting information about her on a daily basis.

She insists those with the right intentions don’t mean her any harm. The cycle of fame is nothing new to her; interest in her personal life has always risen with the dawn of each new ice age. Also, she recognizes that in a time of overpopulation, famine, drought and war, it is only natural that humans become obsessed with a nurturing figure as a form of Escapism.

However, the intensity of this new surge of popularity has forced her to assemble security teams of “eco-terrorists.” These forces are not without their own controversy, though. In fact, Elle dedicated its 10% post-consumer green issue to Mother Nature, and even features an article on her security team.

Poll: Are you obsessed with Mother Nature?

- Yes, who isn’t right now??

-No, I’m not from here.
