#RockStarLife: Coffee Break

Keeping Up with Capitalism: A Kardashian Deep Dive ESPRESSO SHOT!!!

Zenobia Darling, Derek Pentz Season 2 Episode 30

Grab your espresso and buckle in, babe, because this is not your average Kardashian convo.

In this fully unfiltered spiral, I, Zenobia Darling, kick things off with a hot take on the Blue Origin PR space flight featuring Katy Perry, Gayle King, a front-row Kris & Khloe moment, and a crying Oprah. Inspiration? Or rich-girl cosplay in zero gravity? You already know what I think.

Then, in a cosmic pivot, I drop a haunted update from Ethereal Anarchy: Zenobia Darling’s Haunted Revolution before launching into a deep, delusional, and delicious dive into the Kardashian Dynasty—from Keeping Up on E! to their fourth-wall-breaking Hulu-era rebrand.

I unpack my personal journey with the show, its connections to The Real Housewives, and how the Kardashians became a surgically enhanced, heavily filtered love letter to branding, capitalism, and aspirational living.

✨ Khloe’s my ride-or-die fave (yes, I said it)
💼 Kim is that girl—a marketing mogul, a media magician, and the Elizabeth Taylor of our generation (fight me)
💇‍♀️ Kim's dark-to-blonde-to-dark-again hair crimes? As a hairstylist, it’s emotional abuse with extensions
🎤 Kanye? We go in—it’s a read, a reckoning, and a reality check
👑 Caitlyn’s public transition vs. her public behavior—being trans doesn’t automatically make you kind or evolved
💋 Kourtney’s wellness witchery, Rob’s vanishing act, Scott’s redemption arc (I kinda like him), Kendall’s flatline modeling era, Kylie’s influencer empress reign, and yes, the Blac Chyna of it all
🌟 And baby, North West is coming. That child is a generational talent, a chaotic icon in the making, and we all need to buckle the hell up because I’m living for her world domination tour

It’s unhinged, unholy, unapologetically deep—and I love every second of it. The Kardashians aren’t just a family… they’re an American mythos in full glam.

Let’s sip the truth. ☕💋
