“Who actually shops for groceries in designer outfits?”
While celebrity moms often portray themselves as relatable, sharing candid photos of their imperfections on social media, it’s quickly followed by images of them in perfect hair, makeup, and attire for a simple grocery run. The stark contrast between their glamorous lives and the reality most of us face is something that mom and comedian Jamie Harper cleverly highlights in her side-splitting photo recreations.
Recognizing that the ultra-wealthy have access to a world of conveniences such as nannies, personal chefs, and stylists, Jamie, a mother of four children all under the age of seven, decided to bring some humor to the situation. “I kept seeing celebrity moms in magazines and thought it would be hilarious to juxtapose their lives with those of a regular mom,” she explains to The Huffington Post. This amusing project involves creating collages that place her in similar poses to famous figures, resulting in comedic brilliance.
Her Instagram feed is a treasure trove of these humorous side-by-side images. One collage dramatically illustrates the difference in glam squads between herself and the likes of Kim Kardashian. “It’s so easy to compare yourself to these glamorous celebrities,” she admits. “What happened to my skin? These kids have wreaked havoc on my once fit body! I barely remember when my hair was thick and shiny.” Jamie’s photos serve as a reminder that it’s okay to laugh at the surreal nature of airbrushed celebrity images.
“My aim is to make fellow overworked and exhausted parents chuckle,” Jamie shares with her followers. And it looks like she’s succeeding.
Here she is, playfully mocking Mariah Carey’s impractical workout attire. Grocery shopping as a runway event? “Who goes to the grocery store in luxury clothes?” she questions. “I strapped my new baby in a Bjorn, brought along my other two kids, and had my babysitter snap the photo. I’ve been at this ever since!”
Jamie plans her recreations by either browsing for amusing celebrity photos or taking requests from her followers. “I choose images based on how absurd they are. The more unrealistic to an everyday mom, the better,” she says. Whatever her method, it’s clearly resonating; she has attracted 12,000 followers on Instagram and engages her audience through her TV podcast, Reality Life with Jamie Harper, alongside her website filled with parenting humor, Love And Giggles.
Here she is, enjoying the good life in a kiddie pool. Because why not? We hope she continues to share these hilarious images, as a sprinkle of reality is always refreshing.
