Kim Kardashian: ‘I’m the girl with the big butt’

Remember the kitty photo shoot in Australia? Well here is how they turned out – HOT! I posted the scans from the Sunday Telegraph and the article to go with it. Kim talks about the show, relationships, her upbringing and turning 30! Read below and after the jump, plus check out the scans in the gallery.

“Yep, I’m the girl with the big butt,” says the successful self-promoter, former Paris Hilton acolyte and star of familial reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

“The girls at school would walk by and grab it and be like, ‘Your butt’s so big!’ It was a joke, but I’d hide it with my uniform. I guess I’ve learnt to appreciate it now.”

Kardashian is certainly full of confidence posing for our fashion photoshoot, parading in fierce Givenchy stilettos and not much else. (Contrary to reports, she’s also playing nice with the kitten called on to star alongside her.)


Tiny at 160cm – towering heels are her best friend – the 29-year-old possesses a strong natural beauty.

An uncomplicated mix of American-Armenian angles, seductive almond-shaped eyes and plump lips that can’t help but pout, she’d be attractive even without make-up.

Her bust and waistline sit in contradiction and Kardashian is quick to state the former was gifted naturally.

“I started developing at a really young age. Like, at 11, before my big sister, and I was really uncomfortable. As I got older, my mom taught me to be proud of what I have.

“I’m Armenian and we’re curvy women, so, yeah, I pride myself on being happy with what I’ve been given.”

Kardashian needs little direction in front of camera. It’s a familiar place for someone who’s featured in everything from Playboy to Harper’s Bazaar, and she flits effortlessly between routine poses.

“I love this,” she says. “It’s like I get to turn into a superhero character and not be myself. That’s why I love photoshoots – they all have different themes and involve acting, and you can be someone else for a few hours.”

It’s an interesting statement given that the curvy star’s ascension into the limelight has been based squarely on her being herself.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians – an exploration of Kim’s family life with mum Kris, sisters Kourtney, 31, and Khloé, 25, brother Rob, 23, and stepfather Bruce Jenner (the complete family includes a further four step-siblings and two half-sisters) – has built a strong global following, the predominately teen audience captivated by the candour and celebrity attachments of the cashed-up clan.

“People would see how crazy we were and say, ‘You guys should have your own reality show.’ So, my mom rang [friend, producer and American Idol host] Ryan Seacrest and said, ‘We’re having a meeting and I want to talk to you about the family doing a reality show.’

He loved the idea and went with it immediately. Kourtney wasn’t really that keen at first, but she went with the majority. The next week, we were filming and it was on air within a month.

“We had a big family meeting and said we’d be 100 per cent ourselves; we weren’t going to act any differently because of the cameras. Some people won’t show the arguments or the tough things when the cameras are rolling – we decided to go for it.

“I think the reason it does so well is because we have core family values. We’re a modern family with step-parents and half-brothers and stepsisters, and we argue like every other family. But, at the end of the day, there’s so much love and heart there.”

There’s also, seemingly, a money tree in the backyard. Kourtney and Khloé have secured their own TV spin-off (Kourtney & Khloé Kardashian Take Miami), while the original series has seen Kim hoisted on high by the Twitter generation.

Three million followers worship her every cyber announcement and she lists more than a million fans on Facebook. It’s her appeal among this hard-to-hit demographic that led Optus to fund her visit Down Under.

Beyond such lucrative promotional work, Kardashian co-owns fashion boutique Dash with her sisters, guest designs for a range of US labels and models.

According to her website – a how-to guide in self-promotion, which isn’t surprising given she was a Hilton understudy from a young age – she enjoys champagne lollipops and keeping fit so she can get into her jeans.

Her titillating birthday poster is a “must-have for any fan”; her self-titled fragrance is an “accomplishment” and, if the mood is right, why not light up a scented Kardashian candle?

“The show has enabled us to do so many other things beyond what we even imagined, and I’m having so much fun right now.

But if it all disappeared, we’d stick with our clothing stores and designing. Being fashion stylists and owning fashion stores – that’s what we did before the show came along.”

Beyond the gilded gates of her LA life, private pain has informed Kardashian’s upbringing. Her father, OJ Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian, divorced her mother when Kim was 10, and Kris married Jenner six months later.

“That was tough. I went with the flow of being nice, but Kourtney found it hard to accept someone else, especially so fast.”

In 2003, Robert died of esophageal cancer.

“We were close. He and Bruce were best friends and they made a point that the family would stay together and was going to be super close, and we did that.”

Kardashian draws the line when it comes to discussing her love life. While it’s been well-documented in the four seasons of KUWTK – specifically, her two years with footballer Reggie Bush – she deflects any examination.

“I’m a pretty public person – my life is on the show – but there are times you’re going through things and want to keep them to yourself. I’m doing that the best I can.”

So what of her alleged fling with soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, said to be her first romp since splitting with Bush in March?

“I don’t want to talk about anything like that,” she replies, her extended eyelashes, heavy with mascara, batting hurriedly in obvious resentment at being asked. “And don’t write ‘She refused to comment,’ or something. I just don’t want to talk about it, OK?”

Given her response, discussion of her former marriage to music producer Damon Thomas – the pair eloped in 2000 when Kim was 19 – is also off limits (court documents filed as part of their divorce proceedings in 2003 have been made public and include claims Thomas physically abused her).

So too is the 2007 sex tape she made with then boyfriend Ray J.

Despite each week yielding further rumours about her hook-ups, Kardashian maintains she’s single. “I’m a relationship girl.

I’ve jumped from one to the next and they’re always for years, never short. (The family) is hoping I stay single for at least a year and have some fun.

And, yeah, I’m having a good time and focusing on work.

“As for turning 30, yuck, I don’t want to talk about it. It’s so old! I didn’t expect to have the show and all this other stuff, so that’s turned out to be amazing. I remember telling my sisters, ‘When I’m 30, I want to have this and that, and be really successful and have a million dollars.’ Well, when you achieve your goals, that’s pretty amazing.

“But 30… I don’t want to think about it.”

Caught by the Paps Grabbing Froyo

The Calabasas paparazzi are good! I ran into Menchies for some banana froyo with Cinnamon Toast Crunch on top.

I was literally in and out in a couple of minutes and there were the paps waiting right next to my car!! Sneaky paps!

I am wearing a Rebecca Minkoff top, Leyendecker skirt, YSL shoes and vintage necklace.

Kim K's Blog: Fresh Faced at the FIFI Awards

The FIFI Awards are like the Oscars of the fragrance world!

I presented four awards, which was such an honor! I had a photo shoot earlier this same day and decided to go fresh faced… no hair extensions, no false lashes and no eye shadow… hardly any make up… and I have to say it was pretty refreshing!

I wore a gorgeous gown by Zuhair Murah.

Break the Rules With Mixed Metallics

TREND: Mixed metallic dresses

WHO'S WEARING IT: Ashley Greene (Isaac Mizrahi), Diane Kruger (Lanvin), Kristen Stewart (Dolce & Gabbana)


HOW TO WEAR IT: When it comes to fashion, rules are made to be broken. So go ahead, mix silver with gold, bronze and gunmetal. It's edgy and very au courant, especially when you play with different textures. The best part? Any jewlery goes! Just stick to neutral accents. A bright color can make the metals look garish.

Makeup Mondays With Mario: Summer Smokey Eye and Meltproof Makeup

Lauren,


Smokey, sultry eyes are great for summer! If you're having issues with your makeup melting or smudging in the summer heat, try using less products that contain oils - such as eyeliner. Smoke up your eyes using shadows. I love a shimmery copper or bronze on the top lids and smudged along the bottom lashes. A couple coats of mascara will finish the eye. Remember that for a smudge-free, long lasting eye makeup, prime your lids with concealer or foundation first, then set with a bit of loose powder. This trick also allows for flawless blending. Don't cover your whole face with makeup in the summer months. Instead, try to even out your skin tone with a sheer tinted moisturizer and if needed, follow with a concealer on blemishes. Lip stains are great in hot weather too! Apply once to lips and you literally don't have to worry about retouching all day.

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!

xo,
Mario

All for One & One for All: The Kardashians' One-Sleeve Obsession

TREND: One-sleeve dresses

WHO'S WEARING IT: Kourtney Kardashian (Brian Lichtenberg),
Khloé Kardashian Odom and Kim Kardashian (Oriett Domenech)


HOW TO WEAR IT: Three months ago, the Kardashian sisters got our attention with their army green obsession. Now, they're on our trend radar because they all wore one-sleeve dresses this past weekend. Kourt showed her style savvy by wearing her hair up to highlight her asymmetrical number. When it comes to jewelry, the trio deserves kudos for foregoing necklaces. Naturally, the sexy siblings opted for figure-hugging frocks, but we suggest flaunting a billowy style. Not only is that version more forgiving, it's also more summery!

Absolutely! I learned everything from both of my parents. My Dad was extremely hard working and my Mom makes it all happen! I’m so proud to have them as great examples.

Read the rest of the Q&A here.


KKW.com: Your perfume is a big success and very popular with your fans. Will you be extending this line with lotions, shower gels, soaps and other toiletries?

KKW.com: Strangely we’ve had some fans submit questions asking if you’d ever considered a step into the music industry to record an album. Is this something that’s ever crossed your mind?
A music video would be so much fun! That’s what I would love to make! The songs, well that I would need help with!

KKW.com: You’ve suggested your desire to visit Armenia with Kourtney and Khloe. If you did, would you share your experience in a ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ special?
Wouldn’t that be amazing! I would absolutely love to! I’ve been trying to get the family to go to years! It will happen!

I recently went in an indy car around the track at 200mph! That was the scariest thing I’ve ever done.

KKW.com: In an interview with our sister site KhloeDaily.us, Khloe herself compared filming ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ to therapy, revealing she felt it helped her. Has filming had the same effect on you? If so or if not, why do you think?
Filming has helped me grow as a person. I’ve learned so much about myself on this show. Just good life lessons! It forces you to face your emotions and deal with issues, when sometimes you are so used to sweeping them under the rug… but when we are filming and have an arguement we want to resolve it (and) deal with it. Filming is like therapy! LOL

KKW.com: What is your favourite moment on-camera or off-camera from ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ so far?
These episodes are like our home movies… it’s so fun to look back and just have these memories. There’s too many favorite moments to chose from!

KKW.com: You appear to have a friendly relationship with the paparazzi, but is there ever a day you resent the attention and would like to (for instance) visit the grocery store without being hounded?
It comes along with the territory so I accept it and be gracious! Of course there are times like being seen at the gym with no make up that sucks.

KKW.com: You work closely with the Dream Foundation, how important is charity to you?
My dad always taught me to give 10% of my earnings away to chaity so I’ve lived by that. It fullfills you more than you could imagine.

KKW.com: You’re a fan of Oprah; one day would you like to have your own talk show like her? If so, who’d be your ultimate guest?
