The Kardashians: A RAEview


They can seem like real airheads, I know. Kim bawls her eyes out when her nail polish chips and it seems like the hardest thing she has to do every day is choose what Givenchy shoes match her Balenciaga handbag. Still, I have to admit, I am fascinated by them and I get sucked into the K-frenzy sometimes.....

We’ve gotta give them some credit – they may not seem to have any standout talent, but they still have managed to build an empire for themselves. No matter how much we make fun of their lackluster personalities or materialistic obsessions, they are the ones out there in Calabasas adding 15 garages to their mansions while we are all here sitting on our Ikea couches watching their reality show and eating hot Cheetos.

It’s easy to assume that all they do is live their rich life simply by existing with a camera crew following them around, but it HAS to be more than that. They have so many things going on that it has to be exhausting to get up early every morning and have to face the fact that a zillion people will be watching their every move no matter where they go. They have clothing and makeup lines, sponsorship opportunities left and right, and have families of their own to take care of. Because of the lifestyle they’ve created, they are businesswomen and have to balance schedules that require them to be in 100 places at one time. Yes, they have private jets and they stay in 10-star hotel penthouse suites, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t hard-working.

In the end, the Kardashian clan are people too. They see all the shade that is thrown at them and they still power through their lives. I can't believe I'm even writing about them. But what the heck. They are celebrities for the sake of being celebrities and you know what? More power to them.
