Kim Kardashian has had a quite a year. She’s covered Vogue, sat front row at Valentino’s couture shows, made a multi-million dollar app and got married in a lavish ceremony in Italy in which she wore custom Givenchy. She’s a bonafide A-lister now.
And for the past year, she’s been doing a great job of making the public forget that she’s only famous for one thing (having sex on screen). She’s lunching with Anna Wintour, partying with Kate Moss and becoming besties with Steve Wozniak. She’s a mother now, you guys. She is a serious business woman, ok?
Kim, we’re sorry to say it, but that streak of “oh, what sex tape?” is officially over. And it’s nobody’s fault but your own.
Kardashian released a teaser of the cover image for her new selfie “book” (we’re being very liberal with that term) entitled Selfish, and it’s totally, unabashedly porny.
Want proof? Google image search “Kim Kardashian sex tape” and look at the stills. They are identical to the cover of her new “book.” Yes, the cover image is meant to be a selfie , but instead it looks just like a first-person POV home sex tape. It's Ray J-boning, Timerland-wearing, Paris Hilton-texting, pre-Kanye Kim. The Kim she wishes we would all forget.
We’re actually really shocked that momager Kris would approve such a porntastic image. Kris, this is not good for you daughter’s new image of chic fashionista, app mogul and anti-racism advocate.
Embracing sexuality is not in and of itself a bad thing, of course. But Kim has done so much to adopt a more empowered, grown-up image. For a while, it seemed, she would no longer be defined solely by her come-hither, va-va-voom sexuality, as she adopted a classier style and branched out further into the world of genuine mogul-dom. We were even kind of almost rooting for her.
Alas, this outrageously superficial "book" is a reminder that she may not have come so far after all.
