[beggarboss]

Sorry boys and girls for the wrong thread but I really hope that KK's image will never be damaged if she's along with rappers,she should stick to what she's best at "Modelling".

Just wanted to chime in on Karolina (potentially) dating rappers. And the comments some parties have made about it "affecting her image".

Dating hip-hop stars is exactly no different than dating rock stars. Ever heard of a model doing that before?

In fact, with hip-hop becoming more important to young pop culture these days than rock generally is, I think its a good thing for her "public image" that she dates rappers. She will have the potential to appeal to many more young people outside those that follow the fashion scene by being seen with hip-hop stars.

That comment about "her being passed around..." was offensive. Ever think that she may be the one making the choices?

If you are a cultural conservative, yes, you may say "oh dear! she's dating rappers!". But wouldn't such a cultural conservative also say the same thing about her dating, say, someone like Deryck Whibley (Sum 41)?

(and those are my loaded questions for the day)

hmmm I somewhat disagree. Yes, rap is popular. Yes, it puts her in the public's eyes. But is it good for her image? Probably not. The rap world, whether you agree or not, is seen as an industry that promotes violence and demeans women. Let's be honest, when you think rap you don't really think "classy". Maybe you could say the rock industry is the same way, but today the rock industry is not viewed in the same negative light that the rap industry is.

As for the comment about her being "passed around", whether it's true or not true, it does look that way, and it is not positive for her image.

It doesn't seem that way at all, and most regular people that are not familiar with models have probably never noticed her with rappers before, we just notice because we are fans (or in some cases haters) of her and we already know who she is.

I think rap is just as bad as rock people don't think classy when they think rock either neither of them were meant to be classy, I don't care for either of them that much. But rock is starting to grow on me more.

bias

others noticed the omission of any kk lovelife talk in the vf feature.

nati & carm were both described in terms of their high profile mates.

there may be an implicit racism in that omission, and kk was given the 'good girl' role as opposed to the drinking & cussing carm & nati. and euguenia's egotism and hana's naive-un-PC chat.

the question becomes WHO decided to 'white wash' kk? her agency? did peretz think mentioning hip hop stars would go against the good girl image she claimed in the article for kk?
anyone who's ever heard kk talk knows that shes a motormouth with a giddy & frivolous [even self absorbed] personality- something that peretz made no mention of, portraying her instead as the selfless good girl

 

[model_mom]

You don't like her, do you?

interesting you say "omission," because they did not mention carmen's ex either:

sounds like there's "whitewashing" going on all around

 

[kimair]

no peretz talks all about carm's current bf, the german chess champ, and mentions she & nati travelling & drinking all 4 together...

it's an examination of her journalistic biases & asking why?

exactly...and all i'm asking is why there was also other omissions, not just regarding kk, but other girls too. carmen was with akiva for 5 years and many rumours swirled about during that time and no mention was made of it...like now she's apparently cleaned up her act hanging with natalia...

or maybe they didn't mention kk's personal life because she isn't seeing anyone currently and all that talk of her dating "rappers" was just talk (i have only heard one rumour, and that was her dating pharrell, which was never confirmed or denied by their camps)

 

[yourbestfriend]

i think this needs to be given a rest.....

 

[hanaward]

But why should we even care about who she hangs out with or about her image if we know that she is really sweet. People can think what they want.

but kk, despite being famously ditzy chattery & goofy, got the white glove treatment.
Even if that is true, she can still be a great person despite being "goofy".
