Well, ain’t this some news. If you caught the latest episode of Keeping up With the Kardashians, you’re well aware that Kim has been diagnosed with psoriasis–but what does that mean for her?
If you’re unfamiliar, psoriasis is a skin disorder that affects about 3 percent of the general population. Ultimately, it is classified into 5 different categories, all of which result in red patchy rashes which may appear all over the body. It is treatable, but incurable. It can also result in other bone and tissue disorders, including arthritis; however, it is not contagious.
Kim’s mama has it, too. And she has done just fine. Married Bruce Jenner and completely emasculated him…
Kim’s concern is that this will affect her career negatively. Thus, I feel the need to take this moment to address her in a condescending and patronizing tone:
In all honesty, Kim, the people who like you, like you–the people who don’t, don’t. The fact remains that perhaps .0025% of the people who have an opinion about you actually know you, so what do you care? You’re obsessed with image, sweetheart. You’ve already made more money for doing next to nothing than anyone in the history of the world–aside from royalty.
I appreciate the hustle. I appreciate your taking advantage of every opportunity that has come your way–truly, it’s inspiring. Yet have you considered that you have been offered an avenue in which you may use your celebrity for a legitimate cause–researching and gaining funds for common skin disorders and diseases?
Whatever you do, Kim. Never. Never. Never-ever crash a post-Super Bowl interview again! I waited my entire football fan life to see the Saints win the Bowl, and you almost screwed it up, OK? That was the one thing you’ve done that is truly unforgivable… But the psoriasis, c’mon!
Consider Katy Perry, Julianne Hough, Justin Bieber and all those folks who have endorsed Proactiv for acne. Become a spokesperson for psoriasis sufferers, and I have NO DOUBT you can score a sweet endorsement deal and make even more money out of a “life negative.” Because that is just how absurd the world of pop-culture is. Honestly, how can you not know this already?
