@Denise0211 this reminds me of another little scene from life in Rome that may be illuminating. I used to go to a gym near my house in the centro storico that was tiny, like a postage stamp, and even though lots of tv stars and principesse went there, it was very friendly. One day Kylie came flouncing in (and she embodied ’flounce’) wearing minuscule pink shorts and a low cut top, all designed for maximum attention from the Italian male.
She ignored the polite greetings of the girl at the desk and the nice salutations of the trainers and other people in the room she knew and got on to the treadmill, put on her Bose headphones. I was in the adjoining room working out with my trainer but there was a view directly through the doors to her and the woman next to her on the treadmill who tried to talk to her as well but whom brushed off, storming out. Kylie was rude and arrogant to everyone and there was a kind of disconnect from the reality around her. And at this point no one had even heard of her...or let’s say less than the limited audience she has on YouTube now
