This weekend while celebrating my cousins Royston and Chance’s graduation. I decided to watch the Angelyne non approve series of the same name. While watching this series I found myself loving and hating and loving again Angelyne. I loved her positive affirmations and believing her own hype. However, I dislike how she didn’t want to talk about her humble beginnings and how she got her start. One of the most important things to be about the makings of a person is the humble beginnings. Before Marilyn Monroe was Marilyn Monroe, she was Norma Jean Baker. Alot of what Norma Jean went through affected Marilyn Monroe and it came out in the end. Marilyn Monroe couldn’t get rid of her Norma Jean pain. What I am noticing, and realizing is that Angelyne doesn’t want people to know Ronia/Renee because she is embarrassed of Ronia/Renee. The crazy part about it is that even when you ask her about her past. That is when she runs aways from you. The reason I decided to watch the show is because Angelyne herself protested the show. Initially when they started filming the show. Angelyne was okay with the show. Now that the series is out. She has an issue with the show. That was the thing I needed for me to watch the show. As soon as I saw the first episode ( I am currently on episode 4). I knew why she didn’t like series. What Angelyne didn’t like about the series is that they portrayed her as “ditzy”. The real reason why she doesn’t like the series is because it portrays her as she truly is. The hardest person to face sometimes is the real you. We all have a public persona but could you show people who you truly are? The answer is no. No one wants people to see the before they are highlighted and contoured. The things is that these days everybody is like Angelyne and no one wants to be Ronia. Like Angelyne they want to be new Barbie/Marilyn Monroe but can’t keep up the persona because they have not excepted who they were before. In order to fully evolve as a person you have to accept who you were before the glam and glits in order to be a full person. Its called balance. You have to accept the light and the dark side of you or the dark side will manifest in a toxic way. What Im getting from Angelyne is that she thinks by denying who she use to be will mess up who she is now. When it actually adds texture to her. In order to be a balanced person you have to accept your humble beginning in order to move forward as your new self. I hope people learn from this series because it is definitely teaching me how to handle things and how to elevate the proper. The question is….are you afraid of the dark?
