“Jason Sadler, 26, sells companies the opportunity for him to wear their company’s shirt for a day. He charges what he calls “face value”, meaning January 1st costs $1 and December 31st costs $365. It might not sound like a ton of cash, but it adds up to $66,795 on a sold out calendar. He then sells monthly sponsorships adding upwards of $18,000 to his take home.” — article
I would sooooo do this.
Yesterday Real Housewife of Atlanta Kim Zolciak sang her hit song “Tardy for the Party” live for the first time. It is the scariest thing to happen on television since Britney Spears crashed an burned at the VMAs. Worse even!
Anyone who has watched the show knows that Kim can’t sing. She couldn’t perform in the recording booth and she couldn’t learn when she got voice lessons. Instead she just sort of makes a croaking noise like a sorority girl that is about to puke up those seven beers next to a tree on the quad. It was a bit shocking when the track came out and it wasn’t that bad. Catchy, fun, and AutoTuned within an inch of its life thanks to fellow Housewife Kandi Burruss, “Tardy for the Party” became a campy hit in gay bars and for anyway who has a TiVo season pass for the show.
While everyone was just about sick of it, the one thing that Kim can do to further interest in the track was sing it live, without the aid of computer tricks to make her voice sound good. This wasn’t like watching a train wreck, because sometimes in a train wreck there are survivors. This was like watching a massacre. Kim couldn’t sing, even with a back-up track that was doing most of the work. She couldn’t keep up with her stilted back up dancers. She couldn’t get the look of pained concentration off her face. Someone give this girl a glass of chardonnay and a shotgun, because she needs both.
Very astute observations. I could not have said it better myself… that’s probably why i’m reblogging it instead. =P
For those who don’t know, I hate Kim Zolciak with every fiber of my being.
P.S. LOVE the other housewives facial expressions during the entire “performance” of that “song”.
Most of the time I think it’s really stupid to hate a reality show celebrity or even a real celebrity. I feel like it’s a waste of time since, more than likely, the person you’re spending so much energy disliking won’t ever even know you exist. This kind of outlook sometimes makes it easier to enjoy catching up on celebrities’ lives, or in this case, the lives of a bunch of rich bitches from Atlanta. There was clearly a lot going on that wasn’t really being discussed, but I hope that just means they’re saving it for season 3. The song, while catchy if only because of its repetitiveness, is completely devoid of talent, and I think that’s clear when you listen to it. I think it’s great that these woman, who have obviously had rather rough lives, have found a way to promote themselves and even make money off of it. ESPECIALLY if it means they humiliate themselves on national tv. Oh Kim, Love You. LOLS
