We've been staying at our daughter's house helping out with getting 3 kids to and from school and practice for 3 different sports and school schedules. Thankfully kindergarten goes on regular primary schedule after two weeks, so they'll only have 5 different locations to be instead of 6. But that's a topic of a different blog.
Our daughter follows the entertainment world news in her VERY few spare moments via US Weekly - the only adult reading material around the house, so I've been perusing USW too, catching up on what's what in the plastic world of Hollywood.
Apparently Hollywood cares for nothing except body image. Poor Kim Kardashian has been hiding out in her home since the birth of her child North because she can't wear a bikini without showing the weight she's gained. This was splattered all over the front of one cover. And Mariah Carey had to have a leather studded sling to go out in public after injuring her arm. Who wore a designer dress best takes up two pages of the weekly publication, poor starlet that doesn't get high marks!
Really? First of all what are we teaching our children if we can't go out in public without being dressed to the nines, and slimmed to the bone... and that who wore it best is more important than why spend a fortune on the outfit in the first place. Yes appearance is important in the plastic world of Entertainment, but shouldn't we be focusing more on what people do with their spare money than what people wear or how they look? I have much more respect for Angelina Jolie for taking up causes than buying up Gucci. And I bet if she went to the thrift store of her choice she'd come out looking great because it's all in the style of the person not the clothes. A dashing belt here, a sparkly bracelet there (who knows whether it's diamonds or rhinestone), and you can look good in just about anything. Mariah probably could have served 20 homeless people meals for a week with the cost of that sling. And worn a statement on the sling to boost her standing in showing how compassionate and giving she is.
Finally, Kim Kardashian might as well go out, we all know she's gained weight and must look hideous - not. Hey if you've got big boobs, chances are they're gonna get bigger when you're pregnant. and boobs and tummy are the first to come and the last to go. So don't go out in a bikini, work on losing some weight and go out proudly with your new baby in something flattering and and a bit more covering. You're a mommy now, not just a reality show star.
