Vogue AUS's Editor On Kim Kardashian
Quote:
Kim’s fame is a modern phenomenon, and I find that fascinating.
Fame is usually a by-product of what a person really does. But for Kim fame is what she does. It’s the end game, it is her commodity and that bothers a lot of people, presumably because they believe there are those more worthy of our attention, or that she is not. Yet even the haters continue to fill column inches, blogs and Facebook feeds with opinions about her.
Kim didn’t grow up wanting to be anything other than famous. She told me that, when she was 12, she and her best friend discussed what they might do when they grew up. Her friend’s wish was to be a Hollywood agent, and today she is. Kim wanted to be famous, and in a world in which stars can be born on reality TV and through social media or online notoriety, she was able to realise her childhood dream and become famous for simply being famous – and she is unapologetic about it. She isn’t arrogant, nor does she complain about the public scrutiny fame brings. In fact, of all the famous people I have met, Kim is the most comfortable with it. You don’t see her having public meltdowns. She isn’t abusing substances. She is disciplined, sober and professional at work and there are no diva antics on set. She’s an open book, as you will read in “All about the girl”, from page 108. She can’t set foot outside a hotel or her house without being photographed, and her moves are documented online with hourly updates. And that’s just the way she likes it.
