Trash TV Obsession - Life of Kylie

So as you all know I have a bad habit of binge watching TV series' on the weekends, holidays or just any free time I have. Plus I usually watch tv series' while I'm painting or doing my art stuff because it helps pass the time.

Cause watercolour painting gets rather draggy cause you have to wait for each layer to dry before you can add on top of it. Unless you want it to become one giant muddled mess in which I will most probably scrap the entire piece and start all over again. Since I've been making a lot of progress in terms of painting, I would rather not go back to that phase of mistakenly scrapping art pieces before I even try.

Anyway, I recently started watching Life of Kylie. As odd as it is for me to say this, coming from someone that loves watching shows like Criminal Minds & Mindhunters, I think I am kinda into it.

Yes, it is Trash TV, I know. It's kinda the same as Keeping Up With The Kardashians which I will put into the same category of Trash TV as well because they add absolutely zero benefits to anyone's lives aside from entertainment of watching a whole family being absolutely shallow together.

As much as I hate to admit this, I do occasionally watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians. But it's not like I actually follow the series to heart. I just watch random seasons and episodes then grow bored after perhaps six episodes in. I don't know why but it just happens.

Anyways, that other Trash TV obsession aside, I just started Life of Kylie about a week ago. I thought of watching it just for fun, thinking that I was going to hate it and roll my eyes every two seconds. I mean I still do, not gonna lie. Plus she is not exactly my favorite Kardashian of the bunch to begin with.

About two episodes in and a lot of internal cringing afterwards, I am actually quite into it. There is no other way to put it other than I love watching Kylie make an absolute fool of herself. And she is actually more airheaded than her older siblings which I chalk it up to her being young & spoiled. In some ways I guess she is incredibly lucky to have the life that she does just for being Kim K's sister.

But it does not come as no surprise that the youngest Jenner does not seem to appreciate the luck which life has given her. In fact I think she feels quite the opposite. The one sentence she said in the very beginning of the series that cemented how pathetically good this show is going to be for me was

"I am just like every other teenager. Except I have like nice things"

You have no idea how hard I rolled my eyes when I heard that line. I swear I could almost see my own brain just self-destructing in my skull for watching such a trash show. Except I fucking hella love it!

She says this right after she very outwardly complains about being "famous". In fact I think there are about two or three episodes where she complains about the fact that she is the Kylie Jenner.  Oh my oh my, how difficult life must be for someone to have so much fame and money.

There are so many instances where Kylie says things that makes little to no sense. I guess she tries to sound smart and perhaps even a little bit like a role model but...... She's nowhere near any of that. And being the horrible person that I am, I just find it all incredibly funny because seeing someone so shallow makes me feel so much better about myself.

I mean to be very honest, I myself can consider to be a very incredibly shallow person. Often times a little too much and am quite unapologetic about the fact that I am too. But then I watch a little Trash TV like this and suddenly, I feel like a damn saint.

We also need to talk about how Kylie gets a little contradictory with herself too which is kinda sad because it's now immortalised into a TV series for everyone to see. I don't know whether to feel bad for her or just..... I don't know, laugh I guess. It's the only thing I can think of doing each time she tries to sound smart.

Case in point......
1. Practically hating the fact that she is famous because she never gets any privacy. Practically just being ungrateful for everything that she currently has all thanks to fame. Especially her cosmetic line which she seems to be very proud of without realising that the reason it is successful is because of her fans. Woe is you, life must suck.

2. Kylie complains (almost endlessly) about needing to put up a different kind of persona online. In fact, she says all the pictures she posts are exhausting her and she makes it sound as if she does not enjoy doing it at all. But based on what I've seen her post and how frequent she posts things on Instagram & Snapchat, she seems to be fine with it all.

3. Talking about makeup not being a necessity even though everyone knows she relies quite heavily on it. Plus she is the CEO of Kylie Cosmetics because she loves makeup which she says herself a few times too.

Though to be honest this one amused me the most because I kind of understand her sentiment. I look like an armpit without makeup too but I would never so confidently say that I do not need it WHILE I have a full face of makeup on.

The entire scene could have been scripted, I am not entire sure since the youngest Jenner speaks pretty monotonously sometimes so it is hard to tell.

-------------------------------------------------------

Since there are only 8 episodes to the series, it is safe to say that I finished the entire season super fast. And I am not sure if they are even going to continue airing Life of Kylie anymore at this point since it seems to be on a hiatus for a few months now. Maybe not enough views so it got shelved?

That really should not come as a surprise because the entire show gets pretty boring after a while. Which says a lot considering how little episodes there are. I guess there is just not enough interesting shots or drama for the entire series. There are so many parts of her life where they the crew aren't allowed to film like the Met Gala and then there's her relationship with her then boyfriend, Travis Scott because she wants to keep it private. Like what?

And the random gaps in the show are just filled in with stories from Kylie's insta-story or Snapchat. If you are already her follower then you've seen most of them before so why would anyone wanna see it again on a TV series?

In truth, I definitely prefer watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians more. Only cause the dramas are more exciting plus you see quite a lot of the family's personal life including sibling arguments, all their individual private relationships and all sorts of crazy things in between. I mean what is the point of watching a simple non-drama-filled reality TV series?

Even if it is about 98% scripted. It doesn't really matter because at least the series is still filled with all sorts of crazy scripted stories. I mean hell we got to see the whole Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner transformation.

Plus, Khloe & Kourtney are my absolute favourite Kardashians because they are both the most sarcastic and straightforward bitches ever. The things that the youngest Kardashian sister says are the absolute best. QUEEN OF COMEBACKS! 

Come on. Take a fucking xanax is just the best damn thing to say to someone that is being crazy for no absolute reason. I fucking love it except I don't know if people in KL will really understand the burn because Xanax.

Although sometimes Kourtney annoys me because she seems to always fall back into whatever psychotic dynamic she has with her then boyfriend. But she is also pretty sarcastic & can be pretty cut-throat heartless when she wants to be. That is one of my favourite

With that being said, it is time for me to get back to my Trash TV right now because it's the weekend. Plus the weather is perfect to just stay in bed all day whether it's with a good book or with some tv series.
