Obviously paris was the “it girl” from about 2003-2007 and was literally everywhere in the media but she faded into obscurity pretty quickly when the simple life got cancelled compared to how Kim has been able to be such a staple in pop culture since their show started nearly 16 years ago. Why is this? The only things I can think of is that Kim isn’t just one person, she has a big family who are always making headlines too but I’m sure there’s more reasons.

They aren’t really comparable because they are two completely different vibes but whenever I see Paris now she still seems stuck in 2003, the way she dresses, the baby voice. I have watched her documentary about the abuse she suffered at Provo Canyon school where she basically said she created the simple life paris “character” as a defence mechanism for her trauma, which is very sad.

Imo Paris was an innovator in many ways from her paid club appearances to reality tv, idk if she came up with those ideas or just had good advisers. But a lot of people hated her because they couldn’t relate to her blue eyed, blonde hair rich girl aesthetic. Kim and her family let it all hang out and made an impact on beauty, some fashion and reality TV. Plus they really worked on their social medias.

While it’s true that Paris paved the way, Kim has taken that start and catapulted it up several notches.

These are the only reasons I can think of as to how Kim has managed to stay relevant to many age groups and Paris didn’t, thoughts?
