What I learnt from Binge Watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians

16/10/2017

I’ll admit, I’ve always been one of the many people that slags off this entire family – who are known to be famous for pretty much nothing.
However, the reality TV sucker in me has been intrigued over the years and Aaron’s mum has been watching it from start to finish on E! So I decided I should spend my week off work wisely (because I can’t drive and do the stuff I used to) and binge watch the lot from start to finish – 2007 to 2017.

I’ve bullet pointed the main points that contradicted what I thought I knew below and thought it might open the eyes of some other people too (unless you don’t care, because that’s okay lol);

  • Robert Kardashian was a music agent and not just a lawyer – I’m assuming this is where the name and money started rolling in from, but I’d always believed he was just a famous lawyer because of the OJ Simpson case
  • Bruce Jenner was a gold-winning Olympian and he made a lot of money through motivational speaking – I didn’t have a clue!
  • The series started the year that Kim’s world famous sex tape with Ray J was released to the world – I’m with a lot of theorists in that this was a PR stunt to get their name in the media
  • They’re a lot more charitable than the media makes out – yeah, they’re extremely spoiled and materialistic most of the time, but they’ve done a lot for those less fortunate than them

I’m into season 7 at the moment, so there’s a lot more surgery, divorces, sex changes and tabloid scandals to come – but I’m hooked!
Although they have more money than sense at times, I can’t help but see at times they’re just a normal family that rips the shit out of each other, playfights and argues just like my own!
I still find it difficult to comprehend that they’re famous for … well not a lot really, but do admire how they’ve used their platform to grow their own empires.
Although Kim takes the limelight the majority of the time, each family member has their quirks which makes them amusing to watch. I find Scott Disick hilarious, Kourtney’s snap back comments always make me chuckle and Khloe’s bluntness refreshing. I think the most genuinely famous member of the family is Kendall; she hasn’t used the show to explode her career (although I’m sure it’s helped!) and has bagged herself an amazing modelling career which you can see growing throughout the years of the show.

Love em or hate em, the Kardashians will be here for the long run (10 years of Keeping up with the Kardashians this year people!) and I’ll continue keeping my eyes glued to my screen!

    I’ve never thought that they were “good for nothing.” People call the Kardashians all sorts of names, but they are marketing geniuses. Although I don’t watch the show (I used to watch years ago) they keep coming up with brilliant ways to get paid. Kudos to them!

    I didn’t realise that Robert was rich from the music industry either at first. I like that Kim is always polite and professional and always drags her ass out of bed to attend meetings and photo shoots etc no matter what else is going on in her life. She could easily say she’s stressed and make excuses but even when her Mum has over booked her yet again, she won’t mess people about or let them down because it’s not professional. Rob couldn’t even get his shit together to attend a meeting about his own socks lol I love Khloe, she is such a down to earth chick.

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
