Good morning one and all.
Today is Tuesday and the day I usually talk about writers or writers' concerns in the media.
I can't think of anything this morning, however.
All I can think about is the ridiculous piece on Paris Hilton coming to Montreal to promote her new shoe line. The first 200 people that buy a pair of her shoes at Browns will get to meet Ms. Hilton herself.
She claims her shoes are durable and comfortable. Right! That's exactly the kind of image she portrays. The heel I saw was at least 3 inches high! There's nothing comfortable (and hopefully durable) about Paris Hilton.
I have never understood how a person can be popular simply because they have money. She doesn't 'do' anything. She's never worked, doesn't have a talent or skill that I know of but she's treated like a celebrity nonetheless. At least most stars have some reason for being considered a star: They act or sing or dance--something.
In a lot of ways Paris Hilton represents the worst of our shallow culture. If tomorrow she didn't have any money anymore no one would give her another thought. And she doesn't seem to mind that her status is solely wrapped up in her wealth. She parades around like the queen for no reason whatsoever.
I guess there are some things I will just never relate to--and this is one of them!
