'The ardent fan army is so incredible. The Barbz have beef with like the Beyhive, or, are we still calling them “Arianators,” or whatever? I find that so incredible, how someone can be so famous to you and so nothing to someone else.' –choitotheworld
__M.H.K.C.__I did have a lot of sensitivity readers from different parts of the diaspora. It was first-gen, second-gen, and so. I also talked to a lot of Pakistani people about different details, but it was in talking to mixed kids of East and South Asian heritage that was the biggest boon.
When I was editing this, it was in the throes of the Me Too movement, and it was such a salve for me to write from the perspective of a male character who was incredibly kind and tender. Who wasn't toxic in those ways, and contending with a power dynamic that is very much not in his favor. Even then, it wasn't that I set out to create Pablo to then emasculate him. But I did want to examine some of those aspects without having him react in this very stereotypical, archetypal male way.
But one thing I did want to subvert is that I have a career of 16 years covering the celebrity-industrial complex. I've talked to a lot of celebrities, a lot of fledgling female starlets. I've talked to blue-chippers, I gave literal Rihanna her first cover story. And if you've been in that game for any measure of time, you know that celebrity is not glam. It’s not gifting suites, it's not just like, "Oh my god, everything's free.
That's the part of fame I'm constantly captivated by. It's so antithetical to what you would expect It's dizzying, it's dazzling, it's too big, it's really uncomfortable. They don't even know where they are, they haven't handled a set of keys in three years, they don't have their wallet.: Right, it’s not the no-name being picked to live a life of luxury. The whirlwind tour, new clothes.
