Katie Price,40, English media personality, model and a businesswoman has revealed in the OK! magazine interview that her daughter Princess is embarrassed that her mother is dressed like a teenager.

Her daughter Princess also told, Katie shares, that she does not want her mother to pick her from school because she “is dressed like a teenager”.

Katie ironically seems little bothered by that. She brags about her size 14 and often shops in kids’ department for short tops and pink slippers for example.  

Ironically, Price also runs business of kids clothing. It has often been criticized for being overpriced and tasteless.

Katie Price,40, English media personality, model and a businesswoman owes her roaring success to her escapades. She also vividly expresses her reckless character through her style. Plastic surgeries and bleach blonde hair colour together with excessive makeup had already turned her into a caricature. Interestingly, her image, instead of serving as an obvious anti-example reproduces more and more women of this sort.

Of the sort that are afraid of the inevitable.

That are afraid of change. The change knocks to everyone’s door unless they happen to be away to another dimension.

Afraid of age and whatever comes with that.  

While Helena Christensen inspires many women to enjoy their life fully by not giving up the cheekiness and demureness of the youth, Katie Price provokes shame, despise and other kind of negativity?

Helena and Katie are both in a spotlight. They both used their looks to gain popularity and advance their careers. Both were envied and desired on a massive scale. Although not obvious, these two characters have more in common, at least on the surface.

They seem to do exact same thing. In Part 1 Post, I commented on Helena Christensen as a bold statement against hypocritical and mysogonyical part of society shaming women for their outfits that “do not suit this age”. Many would say that Katie uses her right to dress in whatever she wants without fear of being judged.

However harsh it sounds, Katie does not convey bravery. She conveys fear.

What would you even think of when shopping in kids clothes section? Hardly ever would you think about it when you are over 20, would you? Why would you do it when you are 40?

Katie is a satire of a modern woman who runs of the changes instead of accepting them. Our style is one way or another is a reflection of our thinking, lifestyle and beliefs. We shifted away from the past, where the difference between the poor and the rich, the young and the old, the man and woman, the master and a peasant was striking contrast like day and night. We live in era of soft shades and blurry borders.

We do not need to sell soul to Devil anymore to be forever young because no one does not care anyway.

We finally leave in an era where we have permission to be flawed. Women and men of today’s world in their 40s and 50s own their past and their mistakes. They made a career and brought up kids, build houses and travel. They finally managed to stay sane in the a life of unnecessary drama. Their wrinkles, moles, pigmentation and bald heads are testimony of their resilience, their medals of honour.

There is common rule that where effort is put the most is where value has the most. Price’s style and behaviour is more dangerous than thought. Having so many followers and admirers, she might mistakenly make others believe that teenagehood and youth holds extreme value. Because if not, why would you risk your health and sanity repeatedly going under knife, sacrifice the huge amount of finances and time to look young? And then imitate the childishness and express it brazenly through your outfits?

Helena, while being very well-groomed woman, embraces the autumn of her life in a very casual way. Her soft, confident demeanour and carefree smile makes me, as 22-year old student guard my free spirit as a treasure.  Katie who is constantly looking for attention of a bored public(like many men do remember her body better than their wives’) encourages me to invest time in emotional, intellectual and spiritual activities. So that when the inevitable comes, I will not be afraid. Never.
