Over the last five months, Gypsy Rose Blanchard appears to have worked tirelessly to transform her jailbird reputation into somewhat of a celebrity.
And so far, she's done a pretty good job.
Within weeks of her release from prison - having served seven years for her second-degree role in the murder of her mother 'Dee Dee' Blanchard - the 32-year-old has seemingly become a bit of a social media icon and appeared on several TV shows - including The Kardashians.

She's given numerous interviews, enjoyed several highly-publicised romances - including a divorce and new relationship - appeared on countless red carpets and will even be fronting her own brand new docuseries in the coming week, which centres on life after prison.
"I think that I'm entering into a new era in my life, definitely, having learned a lot about me over these last four months," she previously told Entertainment Tonight.
"I think that right now I'm just trying to move forward in my life and kind of showing who I am and discovering."
On top of this, it appears Gypsy has managed to strike up friendships with several big-name stars.
Earlier this month, she had a 'hilarious' online interaction with 'Espresso' hitmaker Sabrina Carpenter, and last week, a teaser of The Kardashians saw the ex-con catching up with Kim K.
That said, however, Gypsy already seems more than aware how quickly the tide can turn when it comes to stardom.
In fact, the former inmate claims she knows that her fame won't last forever, and already has an ideal job lined up that she'd like to fall into when her name leaves the headlines.
In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Gypsy claims her life has been 'hyped up' over the last few months.
"I've had wonderful opportunities, but I don't see those lasting, and I think there comes a time where I have to make a choice," she confessed.
"And that is, when do I say enough is enough? And I think after so long of having my name in the spotlight, that time is coming really soon."
And apparently, when that time does come, Gypsy will be more than happy taking up a run-of-the-mill 9-5 profession.
"Part of me is like, maybe I should just go work at McDonald's," she claimed.
"I love those French fries! I don't know. But I do like retail, too. Maybe something at the mall, like makeup or Sephora or something - because I love makeup."
However, Gypsy added: "But first I have to learn the things that get me there.
I'm still working on driving. I need to get my driver's license, as I've said before. So to get a job I need to know how to drive."
