I recently sat down and had an ongoing chat with the famous Kitadoll, but we did not reminisce about her face parts, but a real-world celebrity; the two of us held very different opinions. I will let you join in and read our conversation about the one and only... Paris Hilton.

Our conversation began when (coincidently) I made a request for a face part. Being a fan of Paris Hilton, I said:

Apple66: "I was wondering if I could make a request for a face part. Perhaps... Paris Hilton shinning eyes? She's so lovely I'm sure you could make her a part of Whyville by re-creating her eyes."

About a week later, the 'not-so-happy-about-my-request' creator replied:

Kitadoll: "Paris Hilton is famous for all the wrong reasons. Money, scandal, and greed. I don't think she has any place in Whyville."

I had to beg to differ.

Apple66: "That's opinionated, and yes, you're entitled to that. But you're not entitled to making her sound like a terrible person. She admits wrong for all that she's done, and she can't turn back and do it differently, so at least she feels guilt. And she's famous for being a gorgeous model, and her past reality show with Nichole Richie, "The Simple Life". I don't think those are the wrong reasons. She has a place in Whyville, just like you or I, so I would appreciate if you could put into consideration about her eyes."

I tried my hardest to fight for Paris, but in Kitadoll's reply, it didn't seem I did her any good...

Kitadoll: "Actually, the reason she's famous is because she's going to inherit A LOT of money for doing absolutely nothing but be born! And the reason she models is because when you have that much money, everyone wants a piece of you. Sorry to say, but I feel bad for you if you think that she's a good person...."

After this reply, I became enraged. Nobody can put down another person you admire and you at the same time...

Apple66: "Actually, sorry to say, I feel bad for you. You're shallow, and can only see the bad in people. There is no such thing as a bad person in life. And yes, they may have done bad things, but there is still good in them... and we should only ignore the bad and see the good. Just because she's about to inherit riches isn't the reason that she's in the spotlight (nor is her scandalous tape) she's beautiful! She's model type! Thin, blonde, gorgeous smile, why else wouldn't modeling agencies want a piece of her? So please, I don't care if you make the eyes anymore, reconsider what you're going to say before you say it to someone... especially someone who is a fan of Paris Hilton, LoL."

And even though Kitadoll hasn't replied yet.. I think I've won the battle. :)

Forever Fan,
Apple66


Editor's Note: What do the readers think? Paris Hilton's fame does seem to circle around her physical and financial features... does that make her worthy of admiration, denigration (okay, that's a fancy word... check it at dictionary.com)... or does it have no affect on whether you think she's good or bad?

Does having money or beauty necessarily mean you're a good or bad person? I think we can all agree it doesn't. Then how has Paris handled her wealth and fame?

What would YOU do if you were Paris?

On a side note, I have faith that Kitadoll and Apple66 have been able to step back from their discussion just a bit -- sounds like things were getting unnecessarily personal near the end there. :-P
