Report card. But for young people who perhaps feel more adrift, then it's true that the choice of role models can be an issue. She said the human desire for status had been documented as far back as Plato.
You have to look very carefully at why people want to be famous, what they are lacking. And at why people who don't want to be famous themselves want to follow famous people, what they are lacking.
But she said she was optimistic that things would soon come full circle. Already it is impossible for anyone to be as famous as the Beatles, for example, because already the media conversation is so diverse. You can be famous in one chunk but unknown in another. No matter how many videos and blogs you put up, no one will be watching.
So celebrity itself will implode. Perhaps thats why Kardashian herself is exploiting every moment of her already extended 15 minutes of fame. The man she was married to for 72 days is taking her to court to find out if their marriage was a publicity stunt, her tweets and blogs to fans carry advertising and there is currently debate about whether the leaking of the sex tape was an economic move.
She keeps to light topics, quoted as saying the worst thing on the planet was women who wear the wrong colour foundation. But last month, responding to an actor calling her and her close friend Paris Hilton stupid, she replied: "Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless.
Kim Kardashian: how did she become such a threat to western civilisation? The head of a girls' private school won praise for her attack on the west's obsession with celebrity. But are today's teens really naive enough to see reality TV stars as role models? They also all resented the idea that they needed to have a role model. Rose called on magazines and catwalks to stop using thin models. Everywhere she goes, the fashion police are watching. That cream turtleneck dress with thigh-high snakeskin boots?
A few hours after our zoo outing, Kim will be photographed with Kanye West at Fela! He has his own clothing line and almost sweetly craves acceptance by the runway mandarins.
Unlike celebrities just dabbling in fashion, over the last several years he has attended so many fashion shows that he could almost be mistaken for a junior market editor. This time, though, Kim was with him in Paris, though not publicly his girlfriend.
Kimye, as the tabloids call them, could be poised to become a fashion power couple. Marc Jacobs is known to be a Kim fan, but his is a decidedly outlying opinion. While the attacks may derive partly from a good-faith aesthetic response to some of the clothing she wears, at least as much of it seems to stem from an aversion to non-eating-disorder body types and a broader snobbery and classism.
Neiman Marcus did the previously unthinkable when it recently announced a collaboration with Target for the holidays. The boundaryless ambit of the Kardashians is the precise obverse of the fashion world, with its exclusionary fences and rigid caste distinctions.
Fashion is androgynous, anorexic, self-punishing, full of security-blanket snobberies. It wants to be transcendent, above mass commerce. It hates sex, even as it sells it coldly. It hates flesh. Kim Kardashian—a sexpot with curves and a prodigious behind, a sybarite as well as a full-on capitalist—is an affront to everything it holds dear. What would Kim need to do to gain acceptance?
In the car, she applies moisturizer to her hands, followed by Purell. Kim is only in town for a few days. At the zoo, people start to notice her almost immediately. There are ripples of recognition, eddies of excitement. The phone cameras come out. The video recorders turn in her direction. People nudge their friends with their elbows. A few ask her to pose with them. She asks a body guard accompanying us to stop some people from videotaping her.
