A wise man once said, “Not everybody’s gonna like you.” And that’s the case with Kate Gosselin, in fact, besides her funky-looking children, I don’t know too many people who do. (And the jury is still out on those eight little mixed rugrats) But one thing is for sure, sister knows how to work the media and work-it-well she does. Kate recently teamed up with celebrity stylist, Ted Gibson, for her glamorous make over and she looks fantastic! She even said she’s gearing up for dating–anyone else smell a new reality show? But is all that hair on the outside going to change her on the inside? It sure didn’t work for King Kong.
We all know Miss Kate can be ruthless, self-centered, and controlling and those are just her good qualities. But is she growing as a person? Are we? Relationships are tough–there’s no way around it; you’re either going to work on it daily or allow it to wither and die. And at the end of a relationship you have three options: take some time out and figure out what went wrong (that includes your role), jump into another relationship (ala Mariah, J-Lo, and Britney) or place your focal point elsewhere and ignore the fact that you need work. (And not that kind of work, Kate)
Kate’s ignoring a deep look on the inside. Such an introspective look will truly hurt but will eventually help guide her to a higher place–whether that’s a better mommy, more nurturing friend or compassionate lover. (Ew, I just wrote Kate and lover in the same sentence) Take it from someone who knows how to edit a good video–she gave TLC tons of footage where she’s screaming, belittling, and being just plain evil to to her family. Some of that might have been edited out of context, but sister, not all.
Should we stay home and cry ourselves to sleep every night? No. Should we cyber stalk our ex-beloveds and make sure their status on Facebook remains single? Are you crazy? I made the mistake of hitting the dating scene the very next day after my relationship of two years broke up. Who did I think I was, Paris Hilton? But I actually thought I was ready. No, I was convinced I was ready. I mean, I was a hot mess and it showed. After that horrid experience, and I pity the guy who accepted (Sorry Sanjit), I knew deep inside I had a lot to figure out. I had a lot to discover about myself because I didn’t realize that people change when their committed to someone–especially if the relationship lasted several years. Those are just the facts. And who you are alone is a new mystery that needs solving which can make the process scary and lonely but it’s also fun and exciting.
In a world where quick banking, faster internet, and rapid weight loss is the norm, have we also placed relationship healing in that category? And if so, I can’t help but wonder, “If we blindly fall in love quicker, will the fall be harder?” I wish Kate lots of love, luck and happy conditioning–on both her heart and new hair.
How long did you wait until you started dating again?
Love the hair, hate the woman. I think she’s a complete fraud and yes, she does need to work on herself. I agree with you.
Ditto.
You made me laugh in this blog. A lot. But you always do. I think she needed the make over and maybe it will help her self-esteem. Maybe this is her way of bettering herself? Good post Nando.
I’m just glad she went with Ted Gibson–the man knows what he’s doing!
All I wanna know is how the HELL that Bitch got an appointment with Ted Gibson?! I’m so mad, I could pull her entire weave out!
@ Eve–You’re too much, I have a few connections with him–I have a brunch planned with his bf,
let me know.
Her hair looks as dry and lifeless as her personality.
@Dangilo – Cat fight, Cat fight!
I love it.
I doubt her hair will make her any less psychotic
oop, I’m keeping my mouth shut on that one.
nando, kate gosselin is too fertile to date. lol
you are too young to know about those things–or am I too old?
I feel like hair extentions are the reality show’s version of losing the glasses and the ponytail. Hair extentions helped Kate grow, Hair streaking helped Hailey grow, Hair plugs helped Jon grow (and leave). Didn’t their reality show used to be about helping the kids grow. You should also not be able to be put on Reality TV until you are old enough to drive yourself to the Jersey Shore.
Miss M,
You are outrageous!
The Jersey Shore, I love it.
THAT Ted Gibson from What Not To Wear? I love the guy!
I like her new make-over she looks good. At first I didn’t notice the darker undertones but they are ok, plus I like the shorter bangs!

I never got why people were so into her. I never watched the show, being the oldest of nine I did not need to see another dysfunctional family with an overbearing mother figure (though my dad was awesome – not at all like Jon)
That said – your point – about taking time to move on. I don’t think it’s a recent trend, I think people have always tried to convince themselves they were ready to move on before they realized they weren’t, usually with another person involved. I cannot tell you how many men I dated in that scenario, I was constantly the rebound guy, but I never learned my lesson to avoid “recently single” guys.
You hit the nail on the head – there needs to be time for reflection, understanding, working out what was wrong AND what was right, it’s all part of the experience and helps shape you for future relationships.
I had no idea you were the oldest of nine. now that’s a blog I’d like to read.
And you’re so right about us in the gay world–moving on so fast–I know I hear
friends on facebook complain about being single one week to see their relationship
status change the next day. What?
Let’s slow it down and think things out.

Let’s see, married for a decade, started dating about 2 weeks after I ended things. I thought I had been ready for a long time, but I surely wasn’t prepared. It took many dates and a lot of lag time in between for me to learn about myself. Even now, as much as I want to date and find the perfect guy for me, I know I still have a long way to go in understanding myself better.

Wow, thanks Dating Diva–it takes a person “in growth” to make such a comment.
“Even now, as much as I want to date and find the perfect guy for me, I know I still have a long way to go in understanding myself better.”
It’s a daily evolution and what we discover one day about ourselves may be new from last week’s discoveries–but stay open, loving and in a state of allowing the universe
to bring you closer to you –and you’ll be just fine!
