Kanye West had North paint a Birkin bag for Kim Kardashian’s b-day present

FFN_West_Kard_VAH_BJJ_102614_51568499

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West flying from LA to San Francisco yesterday. Kanye ended up taking her to Game 5 of the World Series and it was the first time they’d been back to that stadium since Kanye proposed to her last year. You know what? I didn’t even know Kanye was into baseball. He’s never ranted about it, so how would I know? I don’t think much of Kim’s outfit here – the jeans are a tragedy and that leather jacket looks like it came from Michael Jackson’s closet.

Meanwhile, Andre Leon Talley has anointed the family Kardashian-West as “First Fashion Family,” whatever that means. Talley wrote a piece about it here – to Talley’s way of thinking, the Kardashian-West family’s most recent trip to Paris was nothing short of iconic and revolutionary. Kate Moss apparently adores them. Weird.

There are some quotes from Kim that are getting some attention this week too – it’s Kim talking about North and whether North listens to lullabies, etc:

Kim has revealed that her daughter North listens to music every day. She said the 16-month-old is starting to take after her rapper father, because she listens to her iPod, which is filled with tracks from a variety of genres, from the moment she wakes up right through until bed time.

Kim told People: ‘I put on these lullabies for her. I put on pop music, Kanye’s music. I have a whole iPod with everything all set up for her. Every day, from when we wake up, there’s music on. When we’re playing, when we go on our walk, every day there’s music on. I have a little Beats speaker, so we listen to music loud on our walks.’

However, sometimes the cute toddler is lucky enough to get a live performance from her dad. She said: ‘There are nights I force him [Kanye] to put her to sleep. There’s those nights when you’re exhausted and need a change of scenery, so I’ll say, “Dad, it’s your night.” I’ll listen by the door to make sure everything is going okay.’

Kim has also revealed she got a purse hand-painted by her daughter for her 34th birthday last week. Kim was over the moon when her husband gifted her a Hermès purse in celebration of her milestone on Tuesday, but she was left stunned when she learnt North had put her own personal touch on it.

She told People: ‘Kanye had a box, a purse, this Hermès purse, and I opened it and I thought it was so cool. It was all painted really cool and then there was my computer and it said, “Press Play.” I pressed play and my daughter was sitting outside painting the purse. I thought it was an artist that painted the purse, some custom thing. I thought it was some new artist, and it was my daughter. It was amazing and I have it all on video.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Ha, that’s funny about the purse. Remember how Kanye gave Kim another painted Birkin bag for Christmas last year? She only carried it once. She hated that obscene purse. Maybe she’ll carry the purse her daughter painted though. Maybe? As for North having her own iPod full of songs… considering how Kim and Kanye spoil this child, I kind of think having her own iPod is probably pretty reasonable.

    She looks happening here!

    • Kitten says:

      She looks awesome. I needneedneed that blazer!

      • Jaderu says:

        I like her blazer too, but I already committed to liking AnnE Hathaway today. I can’t have brain damage twice in one morning.

      • FLORC says:

        Thank goodness someone else likes the blazer! It’s doesn’t look bad at all.
        Kim wears some truly awful clothes at times. And other times her outfits are pretty awesome. It’s her silhouette that can ruin the look.

    • Candy Love says:

      This is a good outfit on her accept for the too small jeans the butten looks like it’s going to pop off.

      • emmie_a says:

        Way too small jeans and too small jacket. A jacket is supposed to be able to close. There’s no way she could ever button that thing.

  2. snowflake says:

    oh please, neither one of them puts the kid to bed. gmafb. but i do like her outfit

    how are they first fashion family? all i see kanye wearing are those leather pants. and kim looks like shit most of time

  3. Kelsey says:

    That’s really cute, I love wearing my kids ‘creations’ and I rock a canvas bag my oldest painted!

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Did it cost $40,000?

      • Kelsey says:

        lol mine was free! We made it at an earth day convention.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Sounds really cute.

      • denisemich says:

        Probably costs $20,000. But Kim will have to keep that and show it to North West when she is older.

        The conversation might go like this ” look at how your daddy let you ruin a $20,000 bag.”

        However, it may have cost him nothing… Someone may have just given him the bag. Kanye does know a lot of designers.

    • Candy Love says:

      It is a cute idea hopefully Kim with use it and it won’t end up like the last bag Kanye got her which she only used one time.

    • Miffy says:

      I know! I would love that so much. I feel dirty and wrong not only liking but coveting a Kardashian West tackfest gesture.

  4. Belle says:

    Why I did I think of the Jolie-Pitt’s wedding right away when I read this headline?

    • MrsBPitt says:

      I thought the same thing….lol

    • naylies says:

      Same here. Jolie’s Versace wedding gown had her kids drawings imbedded in it. The Kardashians/Jenners/Kanye West are always copy-cats of other celebs. And I wonder how much that purse cost? Knowing Kanye West, he probably spent atleast $50,000-100,000 on it. Gross.

      • me says:

        Yeah but he thinks the value of it went up by North West drawing on it. One day that bag will be on Ebay and some idiot will purchase it well over it’s asking price because stupid people exist. Also, yes Angelina did it first ha !

  5. Kitten says:

    That black leather blazer is EVERYTHING.

  6. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    I started to rant about how much Birkin bags cost, and how impossibly pretentious and materialistic and just stupid these two are, but why bother?

    Are earphones good for little baby ears? I don’t know, just asking.

    • LadyMTL says:

      I was thinking the same thing about the earphones. I guess if the volume isn’t too high it wouldn’t be too bad for a baby’s hearing? But then again, I don’t have kids so what I do know? LOL.

    • MrsBPitt says:

      More importantly…is KANYE’S MUSIC GOOD FOR A BABY’S EARS?????

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        So true!

      • LouP-Musings says:

        So we know Northwest’s first words were “da da” or something similar. What will her second words be? Yeezus? B*tch? The list could go on and on from here if they use Kanye’s music as her lullabies.

    • almondey says:

      my boss does this with her toddler! i think KK said she has a mini-speaker and they have these portable speakers (beats does it too- as does bose) where you can just have it set up underneath the stroller or like tucked away in some corner of the stroller and just have it playing when you’re taking the baby on a walk or whatever. I don’t think she actually meant headphones. My boss has it like velcro-ed to the base of the stroller or sometimes right above the canopy/covering of the stroller.

      this is what i think she’s talking about? http://brain-images.cdn.dixons.com/2/6/19091062/l_19091062_001.jpg

    • FLORC says:

      I plug my ipod into speakers. Rarely headphones. They’re not exclusive to them. I’m better there are videos on it too.

  7. kri says:

    The gods have gifted us today, people. Light the fires and get a cearmic bird from Clooney to sacrifice. KK is COVERED from head to toe. What a blessing. For my birthday, I plan on upping Kanyedash’s purse game. I’m getting a vinatge chanel, and I will let each of my cats pee on it to make it “special”. They will be in alt, to be able to finally have something that is worthy of their pee, as I cannot afford to get them golden litter boxes. I am a bad mum.

    • Abbott says:

      I’ve come back and read this comment several times bc it is spectacular.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Such a bad mum, but it think your cat pee Chanel bag will make up for a lot. Because spending tons of money on things means you’re a good person with a fulfilling life, and that will surely trickle down to your cats. Plus, people will move away from you on trains and planes, so you can spread out a little. Win, win.

  8. JudyK says:

    Glad to see the boobs covered, but those jeans are so tight, it almost looks like her zipper is open.

    In the above quoted material (don’t know who wrote it), but “learnt”…uh, no…it’s learned.

    • Jaderu says:

      “Learnt”
      I think it’s the British version. It’s the Daily Mail.
      I might be wrong. Shocking turn of events.

    • Kitten says:

      “Learnt” is British version of “learned” and it is correct, actually.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Ok, did you see the Keira Knightly post where she says “dungarees?” Is that really what British people call jeans, or is she just trying to sound all Britishy?

      • Kitten says:

        Ew. That’s what all my elementary school teachers called jeans.
        I thought that was more of an old person thing than a British person thing.

      • FingerBinger says:

        @Kitten My teacher called them dungarees too. My cousin says tennis shoes instead of sneakers and calls soda ‘pop’,but that’s a southern thing I guess.

      • MBP says:

        @GoodNames, dungarees are the jeans with the extra bit over your chest and the shoulder straps. Jeans are jeans.

      • JudyK says:

        Thanks Jaderu and Kitten…I “learnt” something today! 🙂

  9. Scarlett says:

    That’s really sweet, but couldn’t it have been a Coach?

  10. JessSaysNo says:

    HAHA Oh Kanye. That is so tacky and a horrifying display of how much money doesn’t mean jack-shit to them and how much they LOVE throwing that in the faces of regular folks. Here are a list of choices that dumb-ass Kanye could have made that would have been less douchey:

    1. Give the bag (un-ruined) alongside a painting North made.
    2. Since you’re rich AF, just give Kim a painting by North and donate the cost of the bag to charity.
    3. Give Kim a painting and donate the bag in her name to a women’s charity.

    But nope, the vile dumbassery continues! Also, music is nice but to play it 24/7 would get annoying. Babies (and adults) need moments of quiet thought. Kim and Kanye are THE WORST!

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      That’s what I wanted to say, but I was too lazy.

    • lucy2 says:

      Exactly. It’s not about something sweet their kid made for her, it’s all “we have so much money we can let a toddler paint on a Birkin”. It’s gross.

  11. magda says:

    I gave my sister-in-law a pack of basic t-shirts with the prints from her children’s paintings. She was very happy and I was quite impressed with my idea 🙂
    So I’ll try not to judge but…. I choose t-shirts because she can sleep or work in the garden in those. Birkin, or not Birkin, leather bag is a little too much. But maybe it’s Kimye, maybe painted Birkin bag made by Jolie-Pitts would be cool enough for me?

  12. lassie says:

    The camel toe…my goodness…

    • JessSaysNo says:

      Eh, it happens in high-waisted jeans. Unless you have no pubic bone and zero flesh down there, you will have a camel toe at some angles..

    • Anony says:

      Ew I can’t believe your excusing camel-toe JessSaysNo. That is not a look to knowingly sport!

      • JessSaysNo says:

        Umm there is nothing inexcusable about seeing a normal human body part. This isnt even extreme camel-toe, it looks like the jeans are cutting a tiny bit too tight and at a certain angle you can see a small outline of her vag. Big deal, and obviously she didnt “knowingly sport” it… I’m the antithesis of a Kim fan but seriously? Grow up.

  13. Jag says:

    She would look nice if the jeans weren’t so tight.

    I love that IgNori painted the purse. That’s very cute.

    I don’t like at all that Kim listens to loud music with her child, though. Hearing loss is real and can be gradual. Hearing should be protected, so listening to loud music with a child is completely irresponsible.

    • JessSaysNo says:

      I know. It’s like she took some piece of preschool advice “music is good for babies” and took it to the extreme. I would never put a Beats speaker in a stroller during a walk. Let the baby hear the wind in the trees, the birds, dogs…

      • jwoolman says:

        Jess- that was my reaction, too. Babies need to see and hear the world around them. Their brains are developing. Occasional music is fine, but all the time might actually cause problems. Ordinary sights and sounds are exciting enough. I remember a comic strip where the school principal asked a bunch of kindergardeners “What’s new?” And a tiny tot answered, “Everything. We’re very young.”

        Then again, this is Kim the Liar talking and so none of it may be true. She lives on Instagram, so if she doesn’t post the videos then it didn’t happen. It really sounds as though she’s just setting up the “Nori is a child prodigy” story line. Along with the “Kim and Kanye are such devoted hands-on parents” story line. I wish they would just relax and enjoy their kid in normal kid-friendly activities instead of trying to sell us on all this. Starting with a stop to using her as pap bait, since obviously the kid doesn’t like it. I really wish Nori wasn’t photogenic, she would have a calmer life. But Kim will keep dragging her around for pap shots as long as it gets her more attention.

      • JessSaysNo says:

        “Everything, we’re very young” OMG how precocious!

    • Tdub30 says:

      @JWOOLMAN I agree with EVERYTHING you’ve said

  14. AlmondJoy says:

    Is this not the rich people version of what some of us would do? In my family, we love to get things personalized, especially by the kids 😊 It’s so sweet! Of course what Kanye did is ridiculous, but they live a completely different lifestyle than I do, so I expect nothing less. We get mugs, tshirts and necklaces personalized, they get super expensive bags personalized. Nothing surprising about that.

  15. Tiffany27 says:

    I would love anything painted from one of my babies. That’s too cute!

  16. amp122076 says:

    This look on her is such an UPGRADE. Skinny jeans, a blazer and heels. DONE.

  17. Tiffany says:

    The Hermes company has to be thinking, ‘Please stop talking about us’.

    Since baseball is being talked about, RIP Oscar Tavares. Man.

  18. capepopsie says:

    I wish the jacket WAS on MJ. . .

  19. Lila says:

    I like to picture Kanye trolling Kim with those purses.

    “Here baby, another Birkin you love…oh wait I had nude chicks painted on it.”
    “Here baby, another Birkin you love…oh wait I let our baby paint all over it.”

    And then keep giving her the same present, ad infinitum. Doubt KK is smart enough to ever figure it out.

  20. Candy Love says:

    “She told People: ‘Kanye had a box, a purse, this Hermès purse, and I opened it and I thought it was so cool. It was all painted really cool and then there was my computer and it said, “Press Play.” I pressed play and my daughter was sitting outside painting the purse. I thought it was an artist that painted the purse, some custom thing. I thought it was some new artist, and it was my daughter. It was amazing and I have it all on video.”

    How did she think an artist painted her purse when she said she watch the video of North doing it? The next thing we’re going to hear about is how North is now the 1st best new artist.

    • LIVEALOT says:

      she saw the artistry of the purse first, then she saw the video of North painting it…. as mentioned in the quote you provided. :-/

  21. word says:

    Can these two really stay this rich forever? Either they get everything for free or they are on the brink of becoming broke. They don’t have Jay-Z and Beyonce type money or Bill Gates type money. Something is not making sense.

    • LIVEALOT says:

      you are confused.

    • angelica says:

      Kanye West is reportedly broke from the amount of money he spent on their wedding. The kardashians are liars and knowing how they spend millions on stupid things I wouldn’t be surprised if they are broke too. They are not $500 million or billionare type rich.

    • Dawn says:

      I agree and was wondering the same thing myself. But with a Kardashian you can never take what any one of them say as the truth. I mean didn’t they throw away a couple of million on that house they ruined? And now supposedly they are buying yet one more house but she still lives with her mother. I think her game was the new IT game until it came out that it was suckering kids into paying money to go to higher levels and now we don’t hear too much about it. His last album didn’t sell and his concerts were not sold out. I don’t believe she will ever spend her own money to keep them living the high life and the minute he can’t support her she will be off to the next. The more she goes on and on about something the bigger lie I suspect it to be. And why do they both always look so dirty?

    • Jessica says:

      My boss has an extensive Birkin collection. She has a very highly paid job, but still, Kim would make her annual salary in about a week.

      I don’t see them living beyond their means. They’re flashy, but it’s not like they’re buying 100 million dollar yachts or anything.

      • word says:

        I’m not just talking about Birkin bags, I’m talking about their lifestyle as a whole. Of course they aren’t buying 100 million dollar yachts, they don’t have that kind of money. That was my point.

  22. Chrissy says:

    Nori isn’t even 18 months old and yet she can draw pictures on
    purses? She’d probably eat the crayons not draw with them. Also,
    Kim taking her daughter for walks? I really doubt it. This whole
    story reeks of BS IMHO. SMH

  23. decorative item says:

    It’s got to be so hard to come up with new ideas for gifts for this woman.

  24. LIVEALOT says:

    i seriously only clicked to see North. Otherwise i’m not interested in these two.

  25. Blythe says:

    I don’t think anything can top that gift Kim gave Kanye for Father’s Day; an autographed mouse by Steve Jobs.

  26. ketjo says:

    a 16 month old would eat the paint and smear it on herself before she would “paint” anything…..this is so fake and pretentious borrowed straight from the Jolie wedding dress article…just like North preferring boys cloths in blacks and neutral tones……etc …Babies her age don’t know boy from girl..or black from red….they prefer being naked to clothes and don’t care what they wear….She is so full of crap it spills out of her mouth every time she opens it…and these pictures above….Look closely people you will see two miserable people pretending to be happy…….

  27. pk says:

    Give me a break! She mistook the painting of a toddler for that of an “artist”? She is such a try hard.

    • me says:

      Well of course anything her daughter does or will ever do is much better than any other child her age…after all she IS the daughter of Kanye West.

  28. Lala says:

    How Jolie/Pitt of them…*eyeroll*

  29. Jade says:

    Haha! What a fool! She thought her hand painted bag was some fancy schmancy high art but it was really done by a baby. Sucker.

    Next Kanye will buy her a picture made by an elephant and she will think it’s a Picasso.

    No offense meant to elephants.

  30. Ryan says:

    Andre Leon Talley is really tacky, so it makes sense.

  31. embee says:

    Probably better than the one with the naked monsters painted on it. Was the tackiest waste of time and money. Looks like she won’t be able to sit without ripping those jeans

  32. MY TWO CENTS says:

    The pretentiousness of these people is so repulsive. Do they even have their own home yet or do they still live with Mama? Their signature photograph look makes them always look like they are miserably unhappy people. What’s up with that? Will their faces crack from all the fillers if they smile or what? I so wish heros of the world got the attention these worthless contributors to society get!
