Flip Again

"Long before I began to gain" wealth and fame "I was impressed with" Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton "enough that I wrote" books about them "to discover" what it takes to be wealthy." I learned from them that to be wealthy, I not only needed to be stinkin' rich but have a faithful attitude towards expensive items and pricey clothes. Although I am a millionaire now, I started off as a girl that sat on the streets, shifting from person to person...mugging them. I prefer the term "mugging" rather than stealing because I am providing safety to the individual from other stealers. One day, I sat next to my best friend, Vera. Vera-now a proficient dumpster diver- was fishing through the dumpster for the hundredth time. This was no random dumpster. It was the dumpster behind the 5500 square foot, high-end Prada store. Vera pulled out one of the most amazing, silver, cross-body, flat-bottomed with round sides, elongated purse. It was love at first site till I saw the next purse. And the next one. And the one after that. I became proficient in not only mugging people, but mugging people with rich purses. People disdain muggers like me; however, I'm not one that sits on my couch after 8 hours of a computer job cutting life day by day. It's an art. It should be viewed as an art that allows people to coordinate for the betterment of a life- if that makes sense. Now, I search for the most high-end purses and clothes to keep my passion satisfied. I'm just another Kardashian on the street.

  1. I love the irony! It's really complementary to the colloquial diction used in part of the piece. However, I cannot picture somebody who can say "stinkin'" and "disdain" in the same thought and not come off as a poser. It immediately evoked the disingenuous Gatsby for me. It made me a little uncomfortable while reading it. Not sure if that's intentional. I'd also like to add that your inconsistently spaced dashes and quotes are really weird. Perhaps this whole piece was a parody of someone who act like that and it just went over my head. Overall, nice blog!
