Thickettes I know I don’t post like I use to but I am preparing to do BIG things for the plus size world so that’s taking a lot of my energy. Anyhoo my blog buddy and I were talking about D-List Celebrities last night and why they feel the need to make things bigger than what they are. So I decided to let Fazhionwhore do a guest post to talk about these WACK D-Listers!

D-Lister: A very minor celebrity according to the Ulmer scale of bankability. Key word: bankability. This list was created to humble those who give themselves to much self importance where they offer very minimal proceeds to an industry that garners billions of dollars. Basically, if nobody will miss you if you dropped off the entertainment scene today, chances are you’re probably a D-Lister. Here are the 8 prongs to identify a true D-Lister (*Please check these before leaving your house thinking your actually the life of the party…):
1. Your rise to fame is because you acted a complete a** on some reality show in efforts to be the center of attention and get extra airtime;
2. You have absolutely NO talent but still manage to grace the covers of magazines looking like you just won an Oscar or something;
3. You don’t even have your own place. Please own a piece of property, car (New York D-Listers excluded), etc. There’s nothing more pathetic than sleeping on someone else couch but you have 10,000 Twitter followers (*priority check.)
4. People only recognize you as an A-List celebrities ex. “Person 1: Who is that again? Person 2: Ohh that’s __fill in the blank__ ex -boo.”
5. You get a rush from getting in the club for free because the bouncer recognizes you. When you’re getting bottles of Ace of Spades and over $50K to show up at venues, then we can talk about something.
6. “I bet you think this song is about you”. Everything you see on facebook, myspace, twitter or even on thicksational.com or johnnaknowsgoodfood.com, for that matter, is not about you. Check your actions before you check the messenger.
7. Something borrowed, something blue. Please get your own s***. Stop gallivanting around town with your managers, producers or even your mama’s Maybach and/or showcasing someone elses mansion as your own. You don’t have it like that! The first step is: admitting. it’s. not. yours.
8. Leave the MAC at home, no one cares what you look like. A-list celebrities stroll around Roberson and SoHo daily with a casual style…typically minimal to no makeup, Starbucks in hand, shades to keep the paps and sun out. These people are actually busy working and contributing to the industry with their talents. As a D-Lister, you get an inkling of this attention…but now that I think about this again, maybe you should bring out all the MAC since you’re only going to get these 15 minutes, right??
