She is the very definition of American Society today.
Nothing of value, yet celebrated and exhalted as a god.
America today focuses on flash, not substance. Paris is all flash and zero substance. Flash is easy and gains you instant adulations. Substance takes work to gain equity and worth.
Just look at yuppie suburbia - most of them don't actually own anything - it's all leased. Their very lives are Rented.
For what? To APPEAR successful and impress everybody else. Unbridled driven ego with no basis in tangible worth. The only spiritual base they have is Megachurches - IF they even attend these once-a-week Jerry Johnstonian dog and pony shows. The majority are souless, materialistic 2-dimensional representations of actual human beings. Eloi.
So Paris is of course their darling; Paris is what they strive to become. Paris is a life-sized carboard cut-out that fucks. That simple.
