[quote=Anonymous]It’s persona. If you’re extreme, you can be off the charts unrelatable.

Beyoncé. Madonna. Prince. Boy George. A King or Queen (England, Spain, name the country). Richard Simmons. I don’t know. People who stand out as a little eccentric, private, isolated, or above it all. <—the examples I gave have some of these characteristics; they don’t have to each embody all

But if the persona is meant to blend in, be a mom, a hands-on mom, not necessarily artistic, mystical, or elite.. 
then they are supposed to be relatable.

So it’s not racism, is not Meghan or Kate, it’s not Blake or Leighton, etc etc etc. It’s “are you as a public persona allowed to be anything other than what we want you to be?”

Meghan completely fits into the California scene. A lot of CA’ans are in a bubble of produce, amazing weather. Everyone around them is talking about their garden, nature, etc. I know so many, from high to low. But especially the more wealthy you are (and willing to be hands on), yes, you are going to be doing exactly what Meghan does. I *knew* composting would come up (not a criticism). It’s standard Californian conversation.

I’m interested in this conversation less about Meghan and more about other celebrity examples, though. OP, did you have anyone else in mind?[/quote]
