January 28, 2011: It has been reported in certain
segments of the American entertainment media that the shopping habits of
Kim Kardashian, the famous creation of American reality TV, have got worse over the last few months. Retail healing is not a condemnable proposition but the extent of shopping must not cross a certain frontier. However, the problem seems to be acuter in the 30-year-old Kim’s life, which was admitted by her equally renowned sister, Kourtney, who rebuked Kim in a recent episode of ‘Piers Morgan Tonight’ (PMT) on CNN. When Kim divulged during the program that she had attained a watch worth $115,000, Kourtney described the acquisition as vulgar. Kim subsequently made it appear that this watch was the most profligate purchase of her life.
That the Kardashians are exceedingly opulent is a well-known fact. However, Kim is not exactly alien to costly acquisitions. There was a ring worth $10,000 purchased by her in the past. She had expended oodles of cash to procure an assortment of
fur coats. She had also indulged in a shopping binge of the value of $100,000 at
Hermes where she had procured seven expensive purses. Also, it needs to be remembered that she resides in a manor at Beverly Hills that is worth a whopping $4.8 million.
Morgan seemed stunned on realizing that Kim had expended such colossal cash on a timepiece, to which Kim verbalized that she had obtained a fabulous deal. The amount released by Kim for her watch is in excess of the money expended by many Americans for
college tuition. However, Kim, to her credit, does discharge 10% of her proceeds to charitable foundations.
Therefore, it is up to the audience to determine whether this ‘shopaholic spending’ of Kim is unhealthy or healthful.
Also, in PMT, Kim communicated frankly about her romance with the 25-year-old basketball competitor, Kris Humphries. Kim verbalized that she would love to get hitched with Kris but that she has only commenced to date him recently. However, Kim twittered a
photo of Kris when he was a baby and mentioned that she desired her future baby to appear like the baby Kris. Kris, a competitor of the
New Jersey Nets (NJN), has purportedly been hunting a ring for Kim, his girlfriend. Kim articulated in PMT that Kris, who is a lofty guy of ‘six foot nine’, makes her feel scrawny.
Also, in PMT, Kim expressed thankfulness to her ex-beau,
Reggie Bush, for assisting her to overcome her humiliation and mortification subsequent to the leakage of the tape of Kim having sex with the vocalist, Ray J, with the two being in a romance briefly in 2007.
