Kim Kardashian
The First Lady of #Fame
By Martha Stewart
Kim
Kardashian is a media phenomenon. She has 29 million followers on Insagram and
31 million followers on Twitter, and her E? Show, Keeping Up With the
Kardashians, is considered appointment TV by a large and diverse audience.
Why? Why?
Why? We might ask ourselves. Here are some very good reasons.
Beautiful
in an exotic, totally exaggerated way, Kim exudes energy, sexuality, drama,
determination, impetuousness and happiness. But sh and her famous,
entrepreneurial siblings-shepherded by a savvy, tireless matriarch-have also
expanded the very definition of family.
The
Kardashians are a totally modern construct. They re a blended family, of
Armenian descent, with biracial pairings (Kim is married to Kanye West) and a
reportedly transgender parent. They work hard, and they stick together through
thick and thin.
Despite the
flamboyance, the self-aggrandizement and the self –promotion (Kim set out to
break the internet by baring her burn in an extraordinary photograph), Kim
comes across as an enviable big sister in a clan where everyone seems to love
one another. Are they indeed today’s Brady Brunch?
Where does
Kim go from here? There seem to be very few barriers to further explosive
success.
Stewart is the founder
of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, an Emmy-winning TV host and a best-selling
author.
