Princesses of Reality Television

Among the group of celebrities looked up to now, reality television breeds a lot of them. A perfect example are the Kardashians.

Kortney, Kim, and Khloe, and now Kendall and Kylie, are looked up to as goddesses even more so than princesses. But it's the same thing. It's for the same silly reason. Writing these blogs and thinking about this makes me not even want to watch reality TV and give these women bigger egos than we have already fed to.

I understand that these actresses that portray the idea of a princess are good at what they do...well some of them... but reality tv? Live your own life instead of watching others and wishing you had what they had.

When it comes to some reality TV though, it's not the same ideal as most princesses because not all of them are looked up to because of their riches and material items, but it is because of their status. Because these women are on TV we look up to them as if they are untouchable, as the royals were and princesses were. Princesses nowadays have become celebrities. And the idea of why we look up to them such as princesses has broadened.

The Kardashians are princesses, and they are viewed as such. People want their big house, their lavish clothes, and their pricy material items. Exactly as peasants looked up to the Princess and her family.
