About That Kim Kardashian Robbery in Paris

I like Kim Kardashian.  I have been watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians since it first aired on E! I enjoyed ti "insight" into the lives of the rich and famous.  Kim Kardashian is a reality show queen. She successfully and effectively maintains a strong connection to her fan base through social media.
Kim and her public relations team must re-strategize.  She is walking a fine tight-rope.  She has to continue to satisfy her fan base while being sensible about her safety and security.  This is a mean, vicious and hateful world. What happened to Kim, never should have taken place. But, Kim and her folks may have gotten a bit too lax. If her folks are smart... they should be able to continue Kim's big time social media presence, while maintaining good protection and security.  This is doable.  

Folks are jealous of Kim's beauty, success, fame, riches and A-List celebrity status. So, Kim has to re-stratigize for a smart social media presence appropriate for her A-List celebrity status.

Here are my suggestions:
1. Kim can never be without her armed personal bodyguard.
She has a lot of money and will need to pay for that protection.  She is an A-List celebrity.

2. Continue with the social media exposure- Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat and her personal webpage.  She must continue to give her fan base the exposure that they seek.  DO NOT HOLD BACK.

3. Create a care time-lag with posts.  She may not want to do the instant and real time social media stuff. Instead, focus on what she did... like with a 3 hour lag, especially when she is alone.

Most of what I stated is common sense for must of us.  But, with A-list celebrities, many of them must promote their brand big time. 

That Annoying Motor Mouth Passenger

During my usual solo travel to Vegas this week, I noticed a preventable motor-mouth encounter.  Here's what happened...

On the flight back home, I spotted my perfect open window seat.  A lonely woman was in the aisle seat and started telling me about her pelvic fracture, that I was not interested in hearing about.  So, she continued to run her mouth.  BUT, I never engaged.  I promptly implemented OPERATION KIKI!  A successful strategy taught to me by my brother.  I promptly took out my earphones, connected it to my iPad and successfully blocked motor mouth from talking to me.  YES!!!

The flight was 100% full, so a woman sat in the middle seat.  The motor mouth passenger talked to and at this woman for the entire 3 hour flight. SHE YACKED AND RAN HER MOTOR-MOUTH NONSTOP FOR 3 FULL HOURS!!!!

With a 3 hour flight, that is an ideal time to get a good nap, rest and plan out a day...quietly.

The middle-seated woman made a mistake. She started chatting with the motor-mouth early in the flight. Subsequently, she rendered herself captive for 3 full hours.

Motor mouth folks are self-centered, intrusive, disrespectful and egocentric.  No conversations took place.  Communication is one-sided.  Motor mouth was in control and met her personal lonely needs.  They are seeking that audience where they can control that releasing therapy to the poor captive.

When we deplaned, the middle passenger complained about the motor mouth.  I asked, "Where were your earphones?"  She said she did not want to offend the motor mouth.  Well, in my opinion, then do not complain.

With travel, either you will be controlled or you will be in control of your travel experience.  Here are my rules for a decent travel experience.
1. Be aware of potential motor-mouth passengers.
2. Always carry your headset.
3. Do not engage in conversation... just be decent, speak, then attach your headset.
4. Then sit back, play your games, listen to music and enjoy your flight.
