‘I am kind, I have a big heart, I’m an Aquarius. I love animals and I’m shy. I’m a tomboy. I’m an undercover nerd. I love cartoons and I’m a girl’s girl,’ says Paris Hilton at the start of Archetypes, Meghan Markle’s podcast about ‘dissecting labels’.
This time the label is ‘bimbo,’ and with an intro like that, it’s good to see that Paris doesn’t feel the need to play into the bimbo trope. Meghan helpfully adds that ‘you may not have quite picked up on my voice. It’s Paris Hilton, the real Paris Hilton, not the archetype that you’ve come to know for so long.’ Thanks, Meghan!
Paris Hilton once said that she ‘invented getting paid to party,’ adding, ‘I get half a million just to show up at parties. My life is, like, really, really fun’
The two aren’t alone – lucky us. This episode is joined by journalist Clare Malone and comedian Iliza Shlesinger, apparently to help Meghan ‘unearth who is really in on the joke.’
