Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on
society.
Mark Twain
If only Mark Twain was right. Lucky for him he didn’t live
in the age of the Kardashians and social media! I used to say that the
Kardashians were famous for nothing; but I was wrong. They’re the queens of
naked cries for attention. As pathetic as it is, they’ve started a trend. Every
mediocre celebrity who can’t get into the press for any legitimate reason is
following the Kardashians and posting naked selfies. None of these people have
any talent but they do have breasts that stand up, sizable rear ends and a
very good Brazilian wax. The selfies they post would not so long ago have been
considered pornography and relegated to Playboy, Penthouse or Hustler. Unfortunately
they’re on every social media site on the planet.
Given that the Kardashians are role models (doesn’t that
scare you!) for legions of young women, is it any wonder that sexting is so
popular? And how many times have you seen young women walking down the street
with their asses hanging out of their shorts, skirts so short you can tell if
they’ve had a recent wax and see through tops with no bra? When did displaying
your wares like a vendor in a cheap flea market become acceptable?
As a society we need to stop letting people like the
Kardashians control social media. We need to replace them with legitimate role
models that are bringing about positive change in our world. And we need to
teach young women that getting naked is never the way to seek attention. Please
keep your clothes on and show us your other attributes.
Life is like one big Mardi Gras. But instead of showing your boobs,
show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you’ll have more beads
than you know what to do with.
