Ya, there was nothing organic about this record attempt.... not with "Shoe City" and "buywhatever.com" painted all over her boat and clothing. This was just another example of someone trying to get attention and the obsession people have with fame these days. When people look back at this era, they will read about the "bubble boy", "the boat girl", reality shows, celebrity sex tapes and Paris Hilton. It's kind of embarassing actually.
