Full disclosure: One of my kids works in reality ("alternative") television. We have friends who work in it as well. So...I totally get it: the posing for the cameras, the parties paid for, in large part, by the vendors.
But some traits shine through: Caroline SEEMS genuine. The Maloofs went shopping at a boutique on Robertson. My girls have shopped there: It really isn't expensive. If they wanted to be obnoxious the Maloofs could have gone to Chanel for a shopping trip. They didn't. And Taylor's daughter's birthday party (with no pretensions of a charity event)...my kids have been to over the top birthday/Bar Mitzvahs/and now weddings. This is my neighborhood. I have never seen a birthday party, presumably for a child, like that. This was (no surprise, I know you know this) for the mommy to make up for.......what? All the parties that she didn't have.
And I suspect that Jesus would be pleased that they Gorgas celebrate his birthday. But again, He would be far happier for a bigger check for the hospital and a visit from the families. Just a thought............
