Framing Class by Diana Kendall is a story I enjoyed reading. I liked reading about how the media can portray celebrities and how we the average public look up to them and think what great lives they have.
When she talks about Paris Hilton's jewelry line and how people go out and by this jewelry and just thinking that they are wearing something that Paris would wear. I remember when I was little I loved watching TV shows that showed how wonderful celebs lives were, because they had it all it seemed like. I wanted all of that, because the media made it look so great to be famous. When in reality there are people in the world who are not famous and are not the richest people, but they are happy with what they have!

I couldn’t agree more. The media likes to equate high class with a large bank balance. When you look at the life style of most celebrities all they really have is a lot of cash and stuff to go with it. Beyond their stuff, it doesn’t look like they really have very much. Sometimes I think celebrities set a divorce date at the time they set their wedding date. Celebrities don’t have a life of their own, nearly everything they do or say is captured on camera and broadcast to the world either on the television, or on the front cover of a publication. Even though I may not be considered wealthy in terms of money, I am happy with my life, and in many ways I think it is better than any celebrity’s.
