Jane B and some other people; It's been 4 years but I proved you wrong!

[bausch]

Back in 2007 I posted a few times that Kim Kardashian was getting huge and you said she was not an IT girl whereas Paris is....

Plus you wrote "It is hard to say she is an IT girl since no one seems to know who she is at all. Everyone and their dog knows Paris."

Kim is way bigger now and huge and 10x bigger than Paris ever was. I was right all along. There is no bigger IT girl and media sensation than her. Kim has surpassed Pari's fame and also her earnings; Kim is now worth over $35 million.

Another guy on GFY also argued with me (don't remember his name, I wish I did so I could tell him that I was right!) that no one knew who Kim was and that her primary fans were guys. The funny thing is that nowadays it's the WOMEN who are obsessed with the Kardashians and especially their makeup and style.

Hundreds of thousands rushed out to buy Nars lip gloss in Turkish Delight because Kim said she wore it. After the show captured the girl's Clear Cube https://www.google.com/search?q=kard...ient=firefox-a makeup organizer, hundreds of thousands rushed out to buy it and now you can buy dupes (fakes) on Ebay (The original one cost $300). Fact of the matter is that they have more marketing power than any other celebrity right now. Primary fan base for the Kardashians; I read message boards about fashion and makeup and all everyone can talk about is what kind of makeup they are wearing or how they look etc. Their biggest fan base is women who want to look like them and maybe even be them.

You all argued with me but time proved that I am right. I proved you wrong. I was right. Feels so good to say that.

Here is great article btw http://www.celebritynetworth.com/art...-paris-hilton/

Excerpts :

A big difference between the two, beyond a bottle of peroxide, was that Hilton had been deemed a magazine cover liability. Former OK! editor-in-chief Sarah Ivens told me Hilton was a sales buzzkill. “I learned very quickly not to have her as a main cover. Women don’t love or hate her enough to shell out $4 for something with her on it,” Ivens said. In 2007 Us Weekly editor-in-chief Janice Min actually proudly announced a “Paris-Free Issue.” Kardashian, on the other hand, was a huge boon for the magazine market. Shape magazine had its best-selling issue of 2010 when it featured Kim Kardashian on its cover. Her Allure cover was the third bestselling issue of the year and a naked “art” photo for W tied for second.

and

Kardashian was a perfect product substitution for Hilton because she was the same, but better. Goods are classified by how demand for them fluctuates in relationship to one another. A substitute good can replace one that doesn’t evolve as quickly as the marketplace changes. Classic examples are the Discman replacing the Walkman and DVDs replacing VHS. When demand for one increases, demand for the other decreases. As Hilton’s behavior became increasingly erratic and she refused to evolve, demand for Kardashian skyrocketed. Kardashian also comes with a slew of complementary goods. Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian were like the beer to Kim’s pizza. Demand for one increased the demand for all. That was proven in 2011, when the entire Kardashian family made $65 million

OK.

Now that you've had your moment, feel free to move on with your life and we can let this thread die.

I think Kim is the hotter of the 2, but, she will end up fat and Pais probably won't

[Fletch XXX]

they serve two separate purposes.

one is for those who like em skinny one is for those who like em thicker lol

[cherrylula]

Fact is she appeals to more than just blonde bimbos, which there are many more of in this world. So yeah, more females buy Kim's merch than Paris' junk.

I hate the Kardashians with a passion. Fucking monotone robots.

[Jim_Gunn]

Bausch, are you slipping back into your self-admitted celebrity obsessions? Not a healthy thing to do.

[fitzmulti]

Wow.
Who gives a fuck?

[bausch]

What made Kim most popular with female fans is her makeup. Look how many tutorials there are on Youtube to do makeup a la kim

https://youtube.com/results?searc...+makeup&page=2

It started when she was actually reaching out to fans and telling them what products she uses.. Guys just want to bang her but the women are obsessed with Kim, buy things she wears etc.

Kim has this makeup organizer called Clear Cube, it was on her show for only 5 seconds but it caused a frenzy. This forum called the Purseblog had over 100 posts of people posting where they can buy the Clear Cube... etc

Just google it https://www.google.com/search?q=kard...ient=firefox-a and
videos... https://www.google.com/search?q=kard...w=1600&bih=730

Any person that can mass produce Clear Cube fakes now and sell it for $100 on Amazon or Ebay can make a fortune. Right now the fakes are going for $180.

Slipping? It never stopped.

I was never obsessed with a celeb in particular but mainly their lifestyle because that's the life I wanted. However, I finally got to move in L.A and am taking acting classes and getting headshots done and such. I want to eventually become "a somebody" myself. I was only obsessive because I admired their business acumen but was too far away to pursue it myself. I am here now and going full force. I wouldn't say I'm obsessive but I find them inspirational because they inspire me to go for my dreams. More obsessed with their style and makeup than anything else.

[CaptainHowdy]

I wouldn't brag of being right about that ...

[epitome]

Honest question: have you been patiently waiting four years to make this post?

[TisMe]

So you guessed right about someone who wouldn't spit on your 4 years ago, or today.

Congrats that's really big. Huge. Ginormous accomplishment for you.

Mom will be so proud.

The OC was too far away from LA to pursue an acting career?

Is this your first introduction to bausch or was that a rhetorical question?

[bigluv]

Just when you thought that you'd catalogued all the idiot phenotypes on GFY another one comes along and you have to reorder the whole thing.

[porno jew]

this thread made me depressed. thanks.

[The Ghost]

GFY needs more quality threads like this.

[epitome]

I smell future restraining order.

[facialfreak]

Kim's ass is bigger ........

[facialfreak]

Kim seems like a better bet to get back to your hotel room sucking your cock ...
A bottle of Dom, and she looks like she'd be good to go!

Whereas with Paris, it would probably take Cristal.
