As i browse the latest magazine covers whilst on my lunch break, i have one, overly made up, fake looking face staring back at me. Those horrifically long eyelashes, the trashy pink lipstick and the lashings of eyeliner on Katie Price's face glare back at me in a sultry pose. Each cover promises and screams EXCLUSIVE, the best, most in-depth interview EVER with Jordan; read all about Ibiza, the new men in her life and when Pete did this.. when Pete did that..
Even in Glamour magazine's latest September issue she poses in true Jordan style, semi naked with that seductive pose lying on a bed with pigtails. Yet, Glamour magazine is arguably the UK's most best selling women's monthly magazine which prizes iconic celebrity women who inspire us to be healthier, sexier, to strive for success, to have the latest fashion and beauty trends up to date and overall to be happy within ourselves. Does Katie Price promote this idea? For one she has two identities, two different characters in her life: Jordan and Katie. We can, on some level relate to normal Katie but Jordan is another story. So why did Glamour feature this trashy character who flaunts her assets all over the shop in their magazine? Even Jo Elvin, editor of Glamour had to defend her choice of cover star in the ed letter. 'Why is Katie on our cover? The last time i ran a small feature inside Glamour with Katie Price, i actually received letter of complaints.' Because within each interview and publicity stunt photo, she runs a complete different angle and story to entice us to read this LATEST new bite of information on the daily life of her scandalous, trashy escapades.
Katy Price or Jordan is clearing suffering multi-personal disorder, clearly she cannot sell her self on one level, she's the suffering single mother of a disabled child yet has hooked up and partied with a ken-like model, having the time of her life in Ibiza. However Miss Price is one clever lady, she has the magazine world at her feet and she chooses to promote her many different sides. She can feed them any scrap of useless information for a fair price and add a few perfume sales on top with extra publicity. For that, the glamour girl should be admired.
Fast becoming a successful business woman; she knows what she wants and how far she can sell herself to the press and to you and i. These cheap tactics and fast PR stunts are sometimes cringing to watch, but we both know we are itching to see what really happened in the Jordan and Pete bubble and whether forever will really be forever.
I admire her non- bullshit ways and how she can sell her self in such a unique way that we are gagging for more. And the best thing about Katie Price is that she breaks the celeb boundaries, she divides opinion and there is a certain fascination about this ordinary girl who grew up to boost her best assets to an size F to becoming a figure mother of three young children with a business empire of books, hair accessories, underwear, jewelry, perfume and horse riding equipment. We may all question her ways and her choices but really we buy in to the life of Katie Price, because we are to tempted to see what her next dramatic episode will be..
