SXSW is huge but still seems beneath her ~brand, unless she's going to go there and use it to network like crazy.

did anyone see the new photos of Kate?? of course Backgrid took them, she had to have called them.

[sandstorm]

tbh I'm not sure what her brand is.

[colossusx]

neither is she!

their brand seems to be "we are very famous"

[mystic_kiwi]

I don't think she knows anymore either

[genbu_no_miko24]

She wants her presence in many fields which is why it's all over the place.

It's funny cause this stuff is more for the philanthropic/respectable image and then other times when she's doing papz walks (for People magazine and the like) it's very obvious shameless c-list celebrity networking and wanting fame and attention lol.

Meghan's brand:

Relatable.

[theoryofwar]

I mean, same tbh!

[tyinterrupted]

Same!

[genbu_no_miko24]

*fame, recognition, and brand deals

[cuyler_morgan]

That too is my brand, tbh

You mean how everyone expects to be rewarded for a job? The thing that allows us to buy the food and air we consume?

At least she's not living off the tax money of an entire country.

Someone here once said that they want to be the Obamas and that totally tracks for me. They want to be respected and thought of as good and intelligent, and have people throw money at them for projects that they're not actually that involved in.

Not really cause the theme is "Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen" which is part of her brand.

"unless she's going to go there and use it to network like crazy."

That's currently her plan of action lol.

ETA: do celebs call backgrid?

[yankeesarelove]

its pretty known if backgrid takes them, that usually means the celeb or their team called! who knows for sure for Kate though

[shangri__la]

did anyone see the new photos of Kate?? of course Backgrid took them, she had to have called them.

Um yes, of course she did, because people are fucking psychos and think she's in a coma or dead after William beat her???
