The great influence celebrities have on us

was watching gossip girl  the other day and it got me thinking ,i want every clothing  item Serena wears in the episodes , and come to think of it ,not all of her outfits are that nice ,but because she is  famous and celebrities  set  trends for us we follow .huge brands like your VERSACE, GUCCI ,LOUIS VUITTON etc use product placement as a marketing strategy and  a  good way of advertising their products and services .they  invest a lot in celebrities because people simply follow them , they know for sure that if a certain celebrity is wearing their brand in a movie its surely going to create a buzz .that is why fashion designers work so hard to make celebrities clothing for awards ceremonies and prestigious events because it puts their brands in the lime lite  .for instance we know that Simphiwe Tshabalala the famous soccer player is an ambassador for fish and chips and we simply just flock there to try out the food because he eats there and he is famous  .people are interested in celebrities because they are our friends who have everything we want ,well at least we are told  . it worries me alot because the younger generation look up to celebrities ...take Hanna Montana for instance every young girl  wants to be like her  every boy wants her ,they buy her brands and watch her TV shows ,but is she really a good role model ? .it is important to know from a young age that celebrities will not always do what is right yes we can copy their trends but it is important to not loose our ethics and values as people because just because a celebrity does something it doesn't make it right .so go out there be  yourself and be the best version of yourself there will ever be  .individuality and  spontaneity is the new cool  !!!
