summit

On wednesday 29th of November 2007 this trio of privliged party girls from
LA were spotted getting a car home together from a night out. the new york
post subsequently headlined this ‘bimbo summit’ and referred to the trio,
sarcastically, as a ‘meeting of minds’. Whilst this trio was often mocked in
papers for their seeming lack of brains and mindless lives lacking in deep
meaning, the girls had lives far from perfect, Spears was living in a conservatorship
that allowed her no ownership of her body, music or even her friendships
as well as battling trauma that came with being a child star. Lohan was
also suffering the pains of being a child star which led to a battle with addiction
and several arrests. The conservatorship was run by her family who,
it would seem, were only concerned with making money rather than her
wellbeing, despite the purpose of a conservatorship which is put in place
to help a being. By contrast Paris Hilton was capitalising on this stereotype,
starring in her show ‘the simple life’ which showed the star being completely
out of touch with reality. hilton also created a character that wxaggerated
this persona with a high pitched nasally voice who often said vacuouous
remarks like ‘that’s hot’. Howver, Hilton was dealing with trauma from the
‘Troubled Teen Industry’ and hiding her business knowledge which has become
clear through her recent investments in Crypto Currency and NFTs.

THE 2000s WAS A ERA OF
HYPER FEMINISATION AND
SHAME PUT ON THOSE THAT
CHOSE TO EXPRESS THEM-
SELVES THAT WAY. PINK. PUR-
PLE. PASTEL. NEON. SOME OF
THE KEY FIGURES OF THE
2000s WERE PROBLEMAT-
IC AT BEST AND AWFUL AT
THEIR WORST. MUGSHOTS
WERE ANOTHER RUNWAY,
DRUG PROBLEMS THE NORM.
DURING THE BEGINNING OF
THIS DECADE THERE HAS
BEEN A Y2K REURGENCE,
LIKELY DUE TO A NEED FOR
ESCAPISM AMONGST THE
PANDEMIC, A WANT TO ACT
OUT THIS SUPER FEMME, AL-
MOST EXAGGERATED VER-
SION OF ONESELF BUT IN A
SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE WAY.
