I was working at the computer last week with the television on in the background....some talk show that I was ignoring. I vaguely heard something about the Kardashians' Christmas lists. Apparently a list of gifts they were suggesting viewers could purchase for loved ones.
As I indicated, I wasn't really paying much attention, but I think I did hear one of the sisters suggested a $9,000 purse that was "really nice" and there was something about a new car. Obviously their Christmas gift list is way different than mine.
We don't have cable TV so we don't see too much about the Kardashians....although they are sort of hard to ignore. And don't get me wrong, I do give them a lot of credit for creating something out of nothing.....amazing business women and experts at getting their faces and activities in the news. And I'm sure they do good things for charities they support, it just doesn't get the same coverage. At least I hope they do good things with some of their wealth and position.
Later, the same day, I opened Facebook to check any new posts. There was a lovely picture of Princess Diane with the caption "In a world of Kardashians, be the Di"......or something like that.
A reminder of someone with all the fame she could have wanted or wished to avoid....someone who turned her influence outward to the world. To children, to war ravaged countrysides...to benefit hospitals and more.
She wasn't perfect but perhaps a much better role model than some of the current faces we see every day.
