What the baby boomers can teach paris hilton

Are you tired of the celebrity driven circus that has been revolving around Paris Hilton? Does the hotel heiress deserve to be behind bars for her flagrant disregard for the law? As a popular media figure, should she be more responsible to set an example for the impressionable teenagers who emulate her?

The Baby Boomers or so called 'Me Generation,' on some level, weren't all that different. They were often seen as egocentric and self absorbed, as having a sense of entitlement. But, along the way, they developed the capacity for self reflection. Now, entering the retirement years, they are serving the greater good and are often referred to as the 'We Generation.' Paris Hilton can learn a lesson or two from the changes in their attitudes and behavior:

1. Taking a step back helps you see the situation from a much different angle and develop a new perspective. Listening to your inner voice can provide comfort and reassurance as you recognize how your basic character strengths support you. Focus on what's important, and try to integrate core values and personal ideals into how you view the world.

2. Let go of your concerns about the present moment and look at the bigger picture. Time passes quickly - use it to your advantage and make different choices about your future. Set new long range goals as well as short term objectives. Commit to a process of change - and then move forward, step by step.

3. Look to satisfying others instead of only giving yourself pleasure. Learn that gratitude is a very powerful emotion. Tell others what you appreciate about them. Watch their positive reaction to what you say and see how that makes you feel.

4. Increase your capacity to be resilient. Releasing tension through humor will help you begin to bounce back. It is not easy to maintain your sense of optimism when the circumstances are complicated. But focus your thoughts on what you can accomplish and manage, rather than on what you cannot.

5. When problems seem just too hard to handle, giving back provides a welcome diversion. Find your true spirit of idealism and make a contribution to those less fortunate. Be generous with your skills and time as you become involved with social activism. Change society for the better and you'll eventually transform yourself.

Back in jail and feeling a little less vulnerable, Paris Hilton seems to be singing a different tune. She now saysthat she will serve her time, not cause any more trouble and use her power to make a difference. More spiritual already, she sees herself growing emotionally from her jail experience.

Only time will tell if she is truly ready to roll up her sleeves and be a role model for the young people who look up to her. Instead of focusing on the latest clubbing venues, perhaps she will use her flair for self promotion in a more positive way. Let's hope so - for her sake and the sake of our children.

24-karat gold nuggets of wisdom from paris hilton

admin — Fri, 08 May 2009 15:27:37 +0000

In Esquire magazine’s regular “What I’ve Learned” section, heiress, celebutante and overall media princess Paris Hilton hands out a few nuggets of wisdom. It’s not surprising that someone as saturated in the limelight can have some pretty out-there ideas about herself. Nonetheless, anything that comes out of Paris’s pink, puckered mouth is very amusing to us regular folk, at the very least.

Here are just a few excerpts from the section:

“ There are definitely a lot of misconceptions about me out there. ‘Oh, she doesn't work. She doesn't do anything. She just gets money from her family.’ That's not true at all. I was up making phone calls at seven in the morning, and I'll be working until 1:00 A.M.”

“ I was the oldest granddaughter. Everyone was so excited that I was born; they would always take pictures of me. My grandma would call me Marilyn Monroe or Grace Kelly. Ever since I was little, it's what I knew I wanted to do--be a blond icon.”

“Once I've worn a dress, I can never wear it again. I give them to charities and they auction them off to help people with breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, and AIDS. Some that are really, really special, I keep in storage for my daughters. They'll be vintage by then. I think my daughters will love them.”

“The best thing I've ever bought with money is my house. I call it my Paris Palace. It's beautiful. Every room has beautiful crystal chandeliers and amazing moldings from Italy. When people come over they say, ‘Hey, this looks just like you.’”

“Because of my last name and the way I look, some people think I'm a spoiled brat. But I'm not like that at all. I'm one of the most down-to-earth people I know out of anyone in Hollywood.”

“Things may seem to naturally come my way. But I work hard for them, too. I have good karma.”

“You may not be able to be hot when you're seventy-five in a conventional sense. Like, young people won't think you're hot. But your husband will, and so will people your own age.”

Paris hilton perfume – hit or miss?

Top Celebrity Fragrance

OK, so we all know that companies name their products after celebrities in order that the famous name will make the product sell better. However this can be a double edged sword . And in the case ofParis Hilton perfume, who can be in the newsreports for all the wrong reasons, you might be forgiven for thinking that her name might actually harm sales. But then, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as bad publicity. So maybe the fact that her name is in the news reports is enough to boost sales.

Paris Hilton is young, slim and beautiful and heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune. She has stared in her own hit reality show and is followed by the paparazzi wherever she goes. However recently she made headlines for a jail sentence where the young socialite acted far less than either her age or shoe size. And some people say she has a bit of a temperamental reputation. But then she can afford to be temperamental. She is still the darling of the international, jet set social scene.

Good Reviews

The vibe on the street, OK the vibe on online product review sites, is that Paris Hilton perfume gets more compliments than insults. Maybe because people like the scent. Perhaps because people still like Paris herself. Or perhaps because we are secretly(or not so secretly) envious of her. The perfume itself has a very feminine, "girly-girl" fragrance, with sweet, almost cotton candy like tones. Like all perfumes the fragrance will work with some women's body chemistry, and personalities, more than with others.

Paris Hilton perfume, introduced to noses worldwide in 2005 and put out by Parlux fragrances, comes in a brilliant bottle. It looks like the bastard child of the Eiffel Tower and a lamppost thrown into a plate glass window. Despite the description, it is quite interesting and can fit in with a lot of interior design instead of being hidden away in the bathroom medicine cabinet .

What Does Paris Hilton Smell Like?

Apparently, if the perfume is anything to go by, Paris Hilton smells like a trend-setting blend of frozen apple, oak moss, freesia, mimosa, peach nectar, jasmine, sandalwood and ylang ylang. Although ylang ylang, sandalwood, freesia and apple are generally considered aphrodisiacs, Paris Hilton perfume gets an
