I know who Kim Kardashian is. I've never seen any of her shows, but I could pick her out of a crowd. Same with Snooki. Same with Nicole Richie.
I'm sure you have a few of the same. Whenever you pop on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram these social media "celebrities" are all over the damn place. Kim takes her clothes off. Done to the nth extent. Paris Hilton does something incredibly stupid. Exponential numbers here.
And I don't care. I honest to God do NOT care.
Celebrities don't float my boat. I find some of them interesting. It's true. I'm more drawn to the good works that they've done or continue to do. Some idiot taped another idiot saying he cheated on his fiance. Move on. This isn't news. It's a damn clusterfuck, but it's NOT news.
In this day and age, when a celebrity passes gas it trends.
Spare me.
Overexposed much?
But isn't that social media sensationalism? Who can have the most tweets or likes or whatever the blue fuck passes for approval these days?
It's enabling the needy. That's it. And those who have a need that isn't met up the ante. You can only take off so many clothes, people.
And before I get whacked for stating the obvious, I have no problem with my own or anyone else's sexuality. I write Erotic Romance. Nudity is fine. Art is beautiful. I find the human body fascinating.
However, being a type of role model should probably include doing something worthwhile other than creating an app that sucks young people in so you can buy those new shoes. There is power in celebrity.
Why would you piss away an opportunity to do some good in the world?
Give back. Find a place that needs something only you can give. Work with abused children or animals. Give to the Red Cross. Volunteer. Read to children. Make a damn difference. Find a cause that speaks to you and give of yourself.
Don't buy into your own flimsy celebrity.
Believe me, that shit is marked down.
