For the same reason that people slow down to look at car accidents.

Does Paris Whatshername get those "acting " and "modelling " gigs because companies fear that  if they turn her down , her daddy will just buy the company ?

no, they probably do it because she needs money to fix her annoying lazy eyelid.

lol, i'll photograph her! you know how many gigs having her in my portfolio would attract? like a ton! who cares if she's a crazy, fake tan, skinny, looks like a girly boy in the face chick? she'll bring me in money, that's all i care about if i get hired to shoot her.  i've shot ugly people before, i think i can handle it.

Yeah, she's a wreck...

If anything, I think the fascination must be, "how can people be so fascinated by someone who does nothing?" Looking at her is like looking at your fellow mortals and wondering what drives (n.p.i.) them to be interested... hard to say who took actual interest first.

I wonder if she's smarter than she appears... and the entire dumbass act is, in fact, a grand scheme to make the general population realize what senseless things they idolize?

(I doubt it, only because so far, she's inspired too many people to be like that persona...)

There are actually two shots of her in your book. I would think it hasn't hurt your look as a photographer. In fact, I am sure you have gotten work based on the simple fact that you have her in your book. It seems like a simple plan to me. It works too.

As to why we are pre-occupied with Paris. She is filthy both with wealth, and in a sluttish kinda way. I don't know if she is a slut, never said she is, but even without a butt, I would hit it, and cunt-in-u hittin't it for a loooooong time. Am I alone on this ?

I wasn't that excited when I got the booking to shoot her, but she was very cool, and having shot her has gotten me work.  I would shoot her again.

I would pay to shoot her , just to have her in my book ( mind  you I wouldnt pay much )

Surely, you don't really mean this. You are only being extravagant with your compliments of Karissa, right ?

It would be by far, a better business decision to shoot with Paris, than any up and coming model(s). You can use Paris' images in your port, to get them. Not the other way around.

Garry, all these posts about Paris......its borderline obsession and stalking......

Whe I start posts regarding Muslim -  Christian relations ( ie Would you photograph an Iraqi American Model ) I got an outpouring of rigid  stereotypical religious  /cultural views about Muslims form non Muslim Americans ....( ie no Muslim woman would want to be photographed ever )


When I start posts asking about  Racial attitudes in AMerica - I am accused of accusing Americans of being racist

When I attempt to start a cultured /intellectual discussion about fashion ( ie Gaultier  or Galliano - who best represents the "dream " of Haute Couture ) the  discussion goes no where

When I delve into the world of porn ( ie Would Porn kill the career of a Fashion Model ) I am told ( incredibley ) that porn is not accepted by mainstream America


When I start 3 posts about  Paris - you suggest that its borderline obsession /stalking ( I 'll bet David Lettermen doesnt get such disrespect )



Please tell me what an interesting and safe subject to discuss might be????



I had some luck with  my "Body Painting - Is it ARt . Fashion or CHEESE discussion but alas it reached its expiry date, and i had to throw it out

Hell, I'll shoot her, if you guys don't want her.

Me next. These people don't understand the power behind a name, no matter how skanky the person behind that name is.

Gotta remember tho.......Paris would be nothing if it wasn't for daddy! Hilton is a powerful name and that is the ONLY reason in my book she is as famous as she is. She has only one look and thats to look as skanky sexy as she can. There is no glamour face in here, only sex.....i.e. Used sex that is. She gets the attention because of a name. Take that away and what have you got????

Take her name away and she's still a hot chick.

I'm not scared to admit it, I LOVE Paris Hilton!! Of course, I love Kelly and Peg Bundy too but my love for Paris is a special, pure love untainted by my ever more intense urges to do something sick and gooey with her. Paris is like the Freakiest Freak on Freak Avenue, that is SO HOT!!

In my view she's completely talentless and gets those gigs because she and her family have more money than God.

God's got money? Because he owes me 50 bucks.

Sorry Adrienne, I must disagree.
Paris Hilton has Hank Hill ass.
Girls with no ass is like a Klondike bar minus the ice cream. It's just wrong.

Sabina, you rock!

I have ZERO respect for P.H.  Famous for being famous doesn't cut it as far as I'm concerned.

I'd give her a ham sandwich and a road map.
