Oh, that's her. I was waiting for her response anyway because her mother (who gave the maximum to McCain's campaign, the same as Paris's dad) already came out and said the Obama celebrity ad was fucking classy.
Paris is an airhead, but she's sure as hell not an airhead who'd let an opportunity like this slip past her. And she's never had ANY problem making fun of herself. :)
Strangely enough, I think she does. But then again, I harbor the sneaking suspicion that the braindead-blonde thing is a great big rickroll so she can get paid millions to go to parties and be untalented. (Hey, it's working!)
She's already said in press that her persona on The Simple Life was just a character, but I think that was when she was just getting famous...now I think she lets people assume she's dumb.
I mean, why wouldn't you? You can get away with so much more when people think you have no idea what they're talking about.
There also the fact that I believe she has a lot of say in her own finances. Managing money isn't exactly something you do when you're an airhead, even with advisors.
Indeed. And I mean, her sister designs and manages a clothing line, too...pretty much she's grown up around very capable people her whole life. I don't think "airhead rich girl" is all she's expected to be, not by the people who actually hold her responsible. (now, "party girl"? well...)
I swear, I seriously think she's really not that stupid. I mean, she gets paid to go to parties and be untalented. Nobody expects her to be smart, talented, or even nice. So if she shows up anywhere and is just average, she pleasantly surprises people.
Yeah, she could definitely be a complete moron but, man, sometimes ...
I'll confess I do have a bit of a soft spot for Paris, but then again there's a part of me that thinks that she have no problem letting herself be a laughingstock and figured out a long time ago that the lower everybody's expectations for her were, the less stress she was under to impress anyone.
I mean, yeah, she could be an idiot but it's a little wild to think she's secretly diabolical. :)
I think she's smart in certain WAYS. Like, not the way we'd normally think of, but I think she does understand people and how to manipulate them pretty well. Plus, she has people to write her stuff for her. And her writers are better than McCain's :P
My goodness me... I laughed so hard I peed a little. But does anyone else find it a little scary that she doesn't seem to be reading anything? Like she's actually thought about it and is reciting an actual opinion??
