Advocacy has two types as far as Vexatious Kitten (VK) is concerned, or at least the people behind her brand name.
For the first type of “advocacy,” you will see VK physically supporting causes that promote the interests of children—like reading stories to the kids, for example. This is when she is sure that there are VIPs present during the event and media outfits would cover it.
If none of those is present, then VK, being that she’s also busy with TV work, would just send her dad or a member of her team to “advocate” for her. That’s the second type.
To be fair, no one can say for certain whether VK actually ordered her handlers to represent her or if they thought this initiative would impress her, so they decided on their own. It certainly didn’t impress the organizers of an intimate event for kids who had invited VK because they thought she actually practices what she preaches. INQ
