Living Life as an Exaggerated Figment of People’s Imaginations | Erika Jayne Girardi | TEDxPasadena

If it is easy to sit in front of the television or anonymously behind a computer screen, and pass judgement on a celebrity, presuming that every ounce of what is presented over the airwaves is indeed true, then it might be difficult to reconcile the fact that what we see on TV, and what exists in real life, might not actually be the same things. Could it be that “reality,” as it is billed to the consumer, is instead an intentional manipulation of the viewer? In this heartfelt discussion about the tangled web of identity, reality star Erika Girardi, discusses how, by her nature, she is soft spoken, sweet and shy. She admits to hiding behind her wealthy husband and prefers to curl up on the couch in her sweatpants above all else. But, as Erika Jayne, the playful over-the-top fantasy character she “created as an art project,” she becomes a blond bombshell for her fans; with major sex appeal and some fiercely outspoken wit. In this sincere and genuine talk, delivered straight from her heart, Erika wrestles with the juxtaposition of her warring identities...and seeks to find peace with who she really is. A natural-born entertainer, Erika Jayne Girardi has raked nine #1’s on the U.S. Billboard dance chart. The Atlanta native is a New York Times bestselling author, cast member and fan favorite on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and virtual character in the mobile app Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. She has also appeared on major network television programs like ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, CBS’s The Young and The Restless, and Paramount’s Lip Sync Battle. Erika has been seen on Ellen, Good Morning America, Nightline, Larry King, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, and People Magazine. The blonde siren’s always-perfect hair and makeup – on-camera and on the red carpet – has made her a marketing target for the beauty industry, scoring Girardi high-figure partnerships with popular brands like TooFaced and Beauty Blender for Sephora. It’s hard to believe that with all this, Erika Jayne is just getting started… This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
