I was enthused about a book that was just pictures of Kim K. When I got this cute little book in the mail I set on my night stand for a couple days because I had no idea what I was going to get engrossed in and I wanted to make sure I had enough time to be fully immersed in it.
Unfortunately I am not 100% fan of Selfish Maybe 85% . Let me tell you why. When you put the book in your hands I personally thought its so adorable . It looks like it would have had 500 Polaroid pictures in it. But once you open it you realize its pictures has been re sized to fit the pages and due to the binding of the book some of the pictures ( depending on how deep you are into the book) cant be fully seen. There are several pictures that the photo runs into the "crack" of the book.
Reason 2 there is some personal text that Kim used to describe the pictures. It seems as if she was writing from a word bank. I cant tell you how many times she spoke about " her glam" . I feel like she could have expressed her thoughts about the pictures in a better way to make them more personal for her readers. Not just about who did her makeup that day.
As I got to the middle of the book there were black pages. I thought " awe man I shouldn't have bought this book from Amazon, they obviously messed up printing." But I realized that wasn't the case after I kept flipping. Kim used the pictures that leaked on Twitter during the hacking to put in the book. I had no idea that she was hacked and the pictures where on twitter. And I didn't know she was going to put them in her book. Now I see this in two ways. How smart of Kim to add these to her book. Why not? They are already out there. And they are darn good pics. I mean Kim K was naked.. I mean NAKED NAKED. After the initial shock I had to call Elise to tell her about it.
But I thought when Kim became a mother she would be different. In the words of Kanye " y'all cant tell me she's not one of the most beautiful woman in the world" No I certainly can not Because Kim K is def number 1 on my list . ANd I feel like a hippocritic for thinking that once you become a mother you aren't suppose to show your self off because what's wrong with that? Nothing... I'm just in a hard place about it. How will they explain that to North and her future sibling. " hey mom took a bad situation and turned it into a marketing plan that yeilded this amount of income , that we used for blah blah blah ". May be ?
Usually I would post a link to Good Reads but the comments are too negative and this is not a site for Kardashian bashing.
Go buy this book !
