“You’re from Calabasas? Do you know the Kardashians?”
While some may view “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” as their guilty pleasure, this reality show is ruining my social life. Whether I am on a college tour or on summer vacation, I am always bombarded with this constantly asked question. Automatically assuming that every Calabasas resident knows this infamous family is just one of the many Calabasas falsehoods. Here is a list of other Calabasas myths.
1) Myth: Dash is the hippest store. The Kardashians are always there!
Truth: Actually, Dash was so unpopular that it was shut down. Also, the Kardashians were never at their “popular” store. Why do you think it closed?
8)Myth: Seeing Justin Bieber is no big deal. He is practically everyone’s neighbor.
Truth: Just about every teenage fan screams in delight when they see Justin Bieber driving down Parkway in his cheetah Audi R8. After all, he is still a pop star.
9)Myth: Do not even think about wearing anything other than Lululemons while working out. Anything less is simply unacceptable.
Truth: Yes, I love rocking a pair of Lulus, but I prefer to sweat it out in a less expensive ensemble.
10)Myth: Every Calabasas resident is stuck up and snobby.
Truth: Despite Calabasas’ reputation for snobby teenagers, it is possible to obtain good friendships. I have made an abundance of down-to-earth friends in this isolated bubble. Maybe Calabasas is not so bad after all.
