Here’s the deal: people are not giving Kim K. enough kredit.
When I tell people I am fascinated by the Kardashian Klan, they usually scoff and say something like “you know she has a sex tape, right?”
I know. BREAKING NEWS: KIM KARDASHIAN HAS A SEX TAPE.
Moving on. This is not about my opinions on the stigma of sex in society.
Put yourself in her shoes for a second. You were vulnerable with the person you love, and they went behind your back and tried to ruin not only your career but life as you know it. But she didn’t let this bring her down. Instead, she used it to boost her brand. The face that launched a thousand ships.
That’s a genius business move.
You could be thinking, “she shouldn’t have made a sex tape in the first place.” To that, I say: I shouldn’t have eaten a whole pan of brownies either, but I did anyway because I love brownies. Judge me all you want, but I got brownies and you didn’t.
Kim’s net worth is $150 million dollars. Your net worth is probably $5 and some pen caps in comparison. Who’s laughing now?
“But she’s so vain!” So what you’re telling me is that she loves herself? Isn’t that something to be proud of? We are supposed to be proud of who we are.
“She’s a mom!” I still don’t understand. When you become a mom that means you can’t love how you look? Chalk that up on my board of why I’m never having children.
Khloe is my personal favorite. She’s funny, quick witted and has an attitude. If I was a tall bombshell, we would be twins. I just know it. Plus, she’s an awesome aunt who loves her whole family. Koko takes down anyone who is a threat. Remember the Twitter fight between her and Amber Rose? Fearless.
Kourtney is super-mom and a health fanatic. If she isn’t working out, she’s spending time with her kids. They’re on some fancy gluten-free diet that leads me to believe they will probably live forever. I would be taking notes, but I’m not giving up pizza -- ever. You’ll pry that out of my cold, dead hands.
Kendall and Kylie are both creating companies and building their own empires. Kenny is on the cover of every major magazine you can think of. She was in the last Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and casually hangs out with all these beautiful people like it’s just a regular thing.
King Kylie is dominating the makeup world with Kylie Cosmetics. I haven’t tried any of it, but I am living for these reviews. Will they love it? Will they get an empty lippie? Will the brush be ruined? We have to watch until the end to find out!
Yeah, they mess up. When I saw Kendall’s latest shoot with Vogue, I cringed as soon as my eyes found the pointe shoes. I think Kylie and Tyga should split for good. I believe in Kourt and Scott’s relationship working out. Sometimes I wish they would calm down when they get heated on social media.
The thing is, they are people. It seems many of you forget that. We have put them in the limelight, as we do with every celebrity, and now you criticize every move they make as if they are part of an exhibit. Take away their money and what do you have? A family that loves each other very much.
I love the Kardashians. I am here for them. I am tired of having to play it off like they are crazy, overly dramatic, or way too extra. Honestly, so is my family, and if you say anything bad about them you will see the side of me that pulls hair.
Next time you roll your eyes at a magazine cover of Kim’s big ol’ booty, just think about why you’re doing it. Work on building yourself up so we can build each other up. The Kardashians are not worried about what you think of them, so you need to worry about how you think about yourself.
