My curiosity of Marilyn Monroe led me down a DEEP rabbit-hole... I've read about the lives of Marilyn Monroe, Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears and now Paris Hilton.

Learning about the lives of these so-called "blonde bimbos" and discovering some DARK truths about Hollywood, Media, and what I believe to be a sinister mission aimed to continue perpetuating the myths against women. Using women as sex symbols for monetary gain and simultaneously turning the public against these women and each other; Convincing women that being a victim is their fault and burden to carry, among other un-truths...

It can safely be said, a woman's narrative in the public eye is NEVER her own. 

Paris Hilton's memor imo, is explosive.

I was a teen at the time of Paris Hilton's pinnacle point in her partying career. I remember vividly seeing the media go frenzied for her "sex-tape" and her arrests... The Media had everyone convinced Paris Hilton was this one-sided spoiled heiress. The Media successfully poisoned the thoughts of men and women in all walks of life...

Comedians were comfortable trashing her.
Animation Studios were comfortable trashing her. 
Magazines were comfortable trashing her.
Women, from everyday life, stay-at-home mom's, trashed her. (And that's the true tragedy, women being convinced it's okay and normal to hate on other women.) 

We should be each other's advocates and voices; Instead jealousy and envy fueled by the Media, spreads hateful messages and false narratives about each other. 

Why?? .........
