KUWTK

KUWTK...Keeping Up With The Kardashians.


I mentioned the other day that I have a love/hate relationship with the Kardashian sisters and their men.  Here are the things I love:

1.  They are marketing geniuses.  I've heard a lot of people comment about the K sisters being famous for being famous.  What may not occur to people is that these women are flipping incredible branders.  They have created a product in themselves - and they are the hottest commodity out there right now!  Everyone knows who they are and what their latest scandal is.

2.  They are a really tight-knit family.  They bicker, fight, and argue.  But in the end, they always have each others backs.

3.  Kourtney is a really good mom to Mason.


4.  Kim is probably my least favorite, but I do appreciate that she's never been fall-down drunk in the papers and seems to hold herself to a certain standard.  Sometimes I wish she would losen up, though.

5.  Khloe is probably the most down-to-earth, and has a really nice relationship with her husband, Lamar.


Here are the things I hate:

1.  The girls are all very materialistic and can be pretty petty.


2.  All of them can be absolutely horrible to the men in their lives.  Kris deceives Bruce, Kourtney is downright rude to Scott, and Kim and Kris...well, that's for a whole different blog.


3.  They can be really raunchy and inappropriate.

4.  I don't think they are good role models for young women in many aspects, the exception being branding and marketing/promotion.



Anyway, that's where I stand with KUWTK.  I was very relieved to talk to one of my favorite cousins last night, and to find that she, too, loves to hate the famous family.  Or hates to love?  Either way.  Clearly, I'm not the only one who is fascinated by this family.

  1. Interesting points! My main issue is more with the whole reality T.V. scene especially the ones about unwed teen moms. Real houswives or any other lifestyle that really is not one that we would want our own life to be. The concept of glorifiying a difficult situation in these types of shows I just can't grasp and how we as people enjoy watching these "fish swim in a bowl" rather than enjoying a swim in our own sea. Of course...I am one of your " elder cousins ;)"

  2. I've tried to comment several times on this, but can't seem to get it. So I'll just say I love keeping up on their sagas too, watching them grow (Scott mainly) and I really hate all the haters on their blog....how rude. Obviously they are watching....winning!
