“In the throes of new motherhood, I found Kris’s music video mostly absurd, but also a little inspiring. Which may be why I found myself asking ‘What Would Kris Do?’ a lot”
I Think About This a Lot is a series dedicated to private memes: images, videos, and other random trivia we are doomed to play forever on loop in our minds.
“I Love My Friends” begins with a fast-paced montage: a palm-tree-lined beach at sunset, a pair of bikini-clad breasts, an oil field, an ultra-luxury car, a different pair of bikini-clad breasts. These aspirational images, borrowed from Newman’s music video, are evocative of those that stitch-together scenes on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The video resurfaced online while I was on maternity leave in 2011. At the time I pretty much needed a flowchart to get my son and all of his gear down two flights of stairs and my stoop for a walk around the block. Inside my apartment, which was definitely too small for a treadmill, I was an easy target for Dr. Google, who was always insinuating that my son’s standard-issue spit-up was really pyloric stenosis or that his baby acne was actually some flesh-eating bacteria .
“We’re big on carpool,” Kris croons. “Judith Leiber, Bible study, Cheesecake Factory.” The song goes on to name-check her favorite luxury brands, alongside “church on Sundays,” as if to say: Stars —They’re Just Like Us! They drive carpool and go to church, too; they just do it wearing better clothes and with more expensive vehicles at their disposal.
