My curiosity of Marilyn Monroe led me down a DEEP rabbit-hole... I've read about the lives of Marilyn Monroe, Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears and now Paris Hilton.

Learning about the lives of these so-called "blonde bimbos" and discovering some DARK truths about Hollywood, Media, and what I believe to be a sinister mission aimed to continue perpetuating the myths against women. Using women as sex symbols for monetary gain and simultaneously turning the public against these women and each other; Convincing women that being a victim is their fault and burden to carry, among other un-truths...

It can safely be said, a woman's narrative in the public eye is NEVER her own. 

Paris Hilton's memor imo, is explosive.

I was a teen at the time of Paris Hilton's pinnacle point in her partying career. I remember vividly seeing the media go frenzied for her "sex-tape" and her arrests... The Media had everyone convinced Paris Hilton was this one-sided spoiled heiress. The Media successfully poisoned the thoughts of men and women in all walks of life...

Comedians were comfortable trashing her.
Animation Studios were comfortable trashing her. 
Magazines were comfortable trashing her.
Women, from everyday life, stay-at-home mom's, trashed her. (And that's the true tragedy, women being convinced it's okay and normal to hate on other women.) 

We should be each other's advocates and voices; Instead jealousy and envy fueled by the Media, spreads hateful messages and false narratives about each other. 

Why?? .........

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Paris Hilton and to anyone who has never given a flying hoot about Paris Hilton. Admittedly, I fall into the latter category. 

She has lived her entire life in the spotlight and has been judged globally. Yet at the same time, so much happened out of the public eye. I had no idea about the trauma she endured, the persona she created, anything about her friendships and romantic life, or her brand. 

This book was a wonderful window into her life told by her.

Mehr als die Hälfte des Buchs ist harter Tobak und obwohl mir Paris Hilton nicht viel sympathischer geworden ist, habe ich doch Respekt davor, was sie überlebt und überstanden hat. Und wie sie eine Fassade aufbauen konnte, die ihr den Fame brachte und sie zur Ikone machte.
Gleichzeitig scheint das rich kid zu sehr durch, ihre Fauxpas sind meist nur eine Randnotiz, wenn überhaupt. Manche Buzzwords werden zu auffällig gedroppt, wenns zB um female owned business geht.  Und ich versteh einfach nicht, wie man P.Diddy 2023 noch zu den inspirierenden Persönlichkeiten zählen kann.

Maybe my expectations were set low, maybe the book really is just THAT good. Either way, this was well written and surprisingly easy to follow even with the jumps between moments on Paris’s life timeline.
