Hi Cafe,

I have to confess, I have a guilty secret. (whispers, I watch Keeping up with the Ks) I do not think they would stage this for PR, it's too awful and the poor concierge who was tied up and likely subdued with violence-I can't imagine even the diabolical PR machine that is their mother would want this to happen.

I do hope that they will use this as a reminder to keep all the kids safe and tone down the amount of consumption/luxury they share. I don't begrudge them owning those things but I do think they are painting targets on the back of their Yeezy jackets. The youngest has had to move 3 times for security reasons. Having been robbed on the street several times in my college years, it's terrifying.

On a lighter note, if you guys still want to talk to me now that you know my shameful TV watching habits- I have a lovely week ahead working on a project for my dream client. All the pieces are coming together for a wonderful week and it is my wedding anniversary today. I had a busy work weekend, spent yesterday lounging and napping with our cats and today I'm doing some prep and desk work. DH has some kind of surprise for me and will call me later with instructions. I hate surprises but he's done pretty well this year.

I have been having Paris dreams and am getting excited though my trip is still 4 months away. In my dreams all sort of gorgeous H bags find me without waiting in the line at 8AM, let's hope that comes true as I do not like to rise early on vacation and I can't even imagine the response I will get from DH and my dad if I tell them the "process".

Hope everyone has a lovely start to the week!

I also don't understand why people are crazy about them and their life...

I'm not crazy about them but I do watch for some reason, it's sort of interesting to watch the business of it unfold I guess and I suppose because I am rather introverted, I'm fascinated with their lack of inhibition and what they will share publicly. It says a lot about the future of "industry" when the most successful people are famous for nothing and then can put their name on almost anything. I've never really thought about why I watch but in recent seasons there has been more attention paid to their enterprises and that is what I'm most interested in. Kim's app is particularly fascinating, it's generated 50 million dollars in 12 months. Kylie's makeup is similarly successful and the record sell out model is similar to H's control of supply.

For all the sociological ills they will no doubt leave as a legacy, they will be studied someday in business schools for social media driven marketing and follower engagement.

Great point of view from business perspective. I don't have the eye to vision a business that has potential so I watched it once from an entertainment angel. I ended up stopping in the middle.

Probably MBA at Harvard university still cannot figure out how that family just took off within 12 months!! Within one year everything changed for them.

Sadly I saw a Kanye for president bumper sticker last week. This is what we are coming to. [emoji849]

If you check out the celebrity thread about them I would say we are in zero danger of that as a possibility, they are absolutely hated on tPF at least and it seems to be a bit of a cross section of the population. I'm a bit taken aback by the ill wishes to be honest but I won't jump into the fray either.

While i appreciate your point of view, i suspect most of the people who warch the Ks do it with the same spirit with which people watch car races: waiting for the big crash and pile up.
It is a horror (gory) story of some sort [emoji1]

Happy anniversary!!

MrsO,
Happy Anniversary!!! Please post when you get your surprise.

Gotta get ready for a Rosh Hashonah dinner. I made a sweet potato kugel. It's a recipe from a friend. I must have used all the bowls in my house. I used the shredder attachment to my Cuisinart for the first time. The recipe called for an enormous amount of sweet potatoes and apples. This friend's a good cook, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.
