Not the K's I know |
The other night at dinner, husband Gary and I discussed a most unlikely topic: that other K family, the Kardashians. While waiting for a haircut, with no Sports Illustrated or Golf magazine in sight, Gary had picked up US magazine and was now a fount of information on Kim, Khloe and Kourtney. (How about that nice alliteration and fanciful spelling?)
Did you know, I questioned my daughter later that night, that:
- Me: Their father was O.J. Simpson's lawyer?
- Beth: Yes
- Me: Their stepfather is Bruce Jenner, the former Olympic Decathalete?
- Beth: Yes
- Me: They've been on the air an incredible 3 years and have set records for most watched show?
- Beth: Yes, Mom, where have you been?
Seriously, I'll probably start with Tuesday Movie Day, my passion for reading (two reading groups!), my involvement with a terrific non profit breast cancer org, with a few chosen rants on medical care and always a celebration of life in the slow lane. You're fortunate that I have no grandchildren--yet. So, is blogging about your own mundane life even more appalling? I choose not to take an instant poll on that one.
Moral of the story: Before you get on your high horse, all huffy and self righteous about celebrity seeking junkies, examine your own motivation!
I've examined mine and Andy Warhol may have really been onto something when he said "in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." Note the uncanny resemblance in these pictures, especially the eyes, nose and mouth. Imagine me with dark eyebrows:
Even I knew that about the other K's. Love you blog. Can't wait for the next installment.

The Autumn of Ginny? Why not the Year of Ginny? The Decade of Ginny? I love it! (P.S. I didn't know that about the Kardashians. Any of it. Nor did I know you had a sex tape, but hey, that's none of my business.)
