Over the past few years America has become infatuated with Kim Kardashian. She is a beautiful girl, has an amazing fashion sense and from the goodie too shoe she appears to be on Keeping Up With The Kardashians we almost have to remind ourselves that this is the same girl who made a sex tape with Ray J Brandy's brother.
In a recent conversation with a friend she referred to Kim K. as an "attention whore". I was a little shocked by that particular label however I was couldn't necessarily disagree. From the love affair with Reggie Bush to the break up with Reggie Bush, the Playboy pose, the butt x-rays, the 3 month post Reggie Bush boyfriend, the 6 month relationship to Kris Humphries followed by an fairytale engagement which followed a 20 million dollar wedding to now the honeymoon which now has lead to speculation of a baby, one must wonder does Kim K. know the meaning of private or is she an attention whore?
Never giving much thought before to the awful title "attention whore" I recently read Kim K. was tweeting from her honeymoon in Italy and that there were even pictures of her and Kris on their honeymoon. It appears that some of life's most intimate moments Kim K. has willingly exploited them herself and in exchange she has made millions in doing so. This same self exploitation has allowed her to make a brand for herself earning a net worth of at least 35 million dollars.
In the end one must wonder is it worth it?
Do you think Kim K. is an attention whore and if it made you millions would you do the same?
I do think she's an attention whore (lol, I hate that term - because it sounds so bad) but then again, I think many reality stars (and celebs in general) are too!
ReplyDeleteTweeting from her honeymoon? Good lord! Give yourself SOME time to get away from it all, lady. But then again, it seems she doesn't want to. Ehh well, Kris knows who he married, so obviously he doesnt mind!
I think above all else Kim is a smart/savvy business woman, and she's found a way to capitalize off of the almost obsessive interest folks have in her and her life.
Texting from your honeymoon is a bit much isn't it LOL... But yes somewhere along the way she realized ppl will pretty much obesses over anything she does which means the more dirty laundry she shares the more money she makes. Smh at the irony of that. Thanks for reading.
ReplyDeleteAll of the attention is what fuels her brand. Kim K has no documented talent. Therefore, she does what "we" crave...a peak into her world. She and her mom and marketing geniuses.
ReplyDeleteShe took her mishap with Ray J and made millions. Now that's how to turn lemons into lemonade.
Dr. Regina I totally agree!!!! Lemons to lemonade. Thanks for reading.
ReplyDeleteI think some people live off of media hype, it is like an adrenaline rush for them. But....I guess that is how she pays the bills. I'm not into the media hype I prefer to keep personal stuff personal. But that is just me.
ReplyDeleteOptimistic Mom I am with you on that!
