You know how Kim Kardashian has been looking like a drowsy hooker on so many red carpets lately? I think I’ve figured it out. It’s a combination of A) some new eye makeup, which is too dark and it makes her look tired and B) a new way of posing, where Kim keeps her chin too far down and she looks like she’s about to nod off. As for the hooker-wear, well… I still have no explanation for that. This whole ensemble is just so unflattering – curvy girls cannot pull off oversized fashion-cloaks. The only people who could pull off this kind of ensemble? Tall, thin model-types. Kim always fails at dressing for her body type.
These are pics of Kim and Khloe at the launch party for “Hairfinity hair vitamins” in London last night. Kim had been in NYC for a few days with Kanye and North. I said (wrongly) last week that Kim and North were heading directly for Europe, where I assumed Kanye would have more performances for his Yeezus tour. But the Kardashian-West family did spend several days in NYC and there was bad fashion, of course. I’ll save those photos for another day.
Meanwhile, Kim’s book of selfies now has a release date: April 28, 2015. It will be, like, a coffee table book of just drowsy hooker photos. But of course the publisher has to fluff it up a bit, try to make it sound like high art:
Kim Kardashian’s selfie book will grace your coffee table sooner than you think! New details on Kim Kardashian Selfish have been revealed, including an official release date: April 28, 2015.
The reality star’s book will feature never-before-seen snapshots from “her early beginnings as a wardrobe stylist,” Rizzoli publishing recently posted on its site. It will also present “some of Kim’s favorite selfies in one volume—from her favorite throwback images to current ultra-sexy glam shots.”
The book description also compared Kardashian to none other than Marilyn Monroe. She’s “one of the most recognizable and iconic celebrities in the world. From her early beginnings as a wardrobe stylist, Kim Kardashian has catapulted herself into becoming one of the most recognizable celebrities in Hollywood,” the publisher’s note continues. “Hailed by many (including Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci) as the modern-day personification of Marilyn Monroe, Kim has become a true American icon.”
News of Kardashian’s selfie book (she took 1,200 pics alone while vacationing in Thailand earlier this year) was announced back in August. Since then, she’s added an author bio that reflects her life as a wife and mother.
It reads: “A new mom to her daughter, North, and happily married to the rapper Kanye West, Kim Kardashian is on top of the world, and this collection of hand-picked images from her personal archive is a tribute to her fans who have supported her through her very highly publicized journey.”
Riccardo Tisci must have been drunk off his ass when he said that Kim is the modern-day personification of Marilyn Monroe. For the love of God!! Call me crackie, but I could make a better argument for Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn rather than Kim. What the hell?

That sound you hear is Marilyn Monroe spinning in her grave and people’s eyes rolling in their heads. I must find out what Riccardo was drinking and order a case for the holidays
Poor Marilyn! Eevry now and then some stupid girl is compared to her.
He must be trolling her.
There was only one Marilyn and hopefully only one Kim, but since she insisted on procreation, I fear this mess will never dry up.
Eta, if her “book” contains selfies from years ago, it will be interesting to watch the evolution of that face. She is unbelievable and vile.
Vile? Really? What did she do to earn that one?
It’s been a-vile, but urine trouble if you don’t remember how Kim leaked into popular culture. Her wide ass-pirations paid off though, and now she has become an icon-ick buttress of style and glamor. Or am I just being cheeky?
Let me count the ways…
actually @Nicole, I use to watch KUWTK (I’m ashamed of that, but oh well, lol) and she IS vile!
Skinny
Please do. Vile is an extremely misused word. Kris is bad. Her children and victims imo. They know nothing else. I stand firm Khloe was away and free. Then her marriage suffered and Kris stepped in while Khloe was weak. Now look at her. An almost overnight transition. And before KUWTK Kim worked hard to earn her way. She did what she could. How is that vile? Her fashion was amazing too. Then Kris played a bigger role and things went downhill.
IMO Kim pays her own way in life. Her merch, show, husbands money. All things people choose to purchase. No money is being stolen by her or forced upon you.
You think she’s vile? Stop paying attention. She will fade out like the many before her. Unless you simply enjoy directing your anger towards her. If so be honest about it.
There are and will be many Kims.
From Merriam-Webster dictionary
vile: morally bad or evil; very bad or unpleasant
Yes, some people find them very unpleasant and amoral, and golly gee wouldn’t you know that vile is actually a perfectly valid word to voice that feeling! If you’re going to bitch at someone for using a word incorrectly, it’s a good idea to make sure they’re actually using it incorrectly first.
slow clap @Falkor, slow clap! thank you!
It looks like she’s wearing a house coat. Or a Mrs. Roper mumu.
Derelicte much? Must be from the F/W Mugatu collection.
Yes.
Well played. I think this is her bod to try to look more “editorial”…like the gamine-looking French women you see in street style blogs. This is her “undone” look. And it’s every bit as bad as her “done” look. Because essentially they are the same.
Kim’s wig or weave is set too low on her forehead and her eye make up is ridiculously heavy.
Both outfits are terrible.
LOL That’s not how it works. Weaves and wigs for (white women) typically go at the bottom of the head to create length and fullness. That’s just her real hairline which she’s already had lasered off.
(Ashamed that I know that.)
Really? It looks fake. And, I know white women who wear lace fronts ( frontals on the top or full lace wigs covering the whole head) and hers looks like the bad applications I have seen.
Also, Aniston , I think, must have been wearing a lace front in her movie with Gerald Butler because her forehead all but disappeared with that application.
Riccardo Tisci said that Kim is the modern-day personification of Marilyn Monroe. He meant to say Dawn Davenport and that he and Kanye were Donald and Donna Dasher. (No, disrespect to Divine.)
Wow. Then Tisci needs a history lesson in cinema. Why do people open their mouths like that without knowing at all what they’re talking about? Monroe was a terrific and respected actress, who’s classic beauty was another part of the equation.
Kanye probably told him to say that.
As usual, she looks dreadful. And who on earth is the target market for this book of selfies? Teenage boys and dirty old men? As for “she catapulted herself into becoming one of the most recognizable celebrities in Hollywood,” uh, no. Mama Kris was the catapult operator and Kim was the rock. ‘Nuff said.
+1. With you on that one. Credit must be given where credit is due. I seriously doubt anyone would have cared even a little post- sex tape if it wasn’t for Kris aka master puppeteer .
Yes, her mom is truly behind Kim’s success. Kim is just a puppet that does what she’s told. I bet Kim had no ambition. She was married at 19 and a housewife. A year or so into her marriage, Paris Hilton became famous and I bet Kim got jealous. She divorced her husband and became Paris Hilton’s sidekick. LOL I wonder how that conversation went? “Hey Paris remember me? We went to grade school together. Can I be your little b*tch for a while? I’ll organize your closet for you. I want to become famous. K thanks !”. The rest is history.
Also, I’d rather see a book full of pics of North West instead.
I was going to say “her fans” but… does she have fans? She must have right? I don’t see it, but she sold that celebrity app to someone…
Kim and Khloe should exchange outfits.
Wardrobe stylist? Girl, no. She’s the “before” in What Not To Wear.
She just look’s horrible.I think she does it on purpose now.I guess bad attention is better then none.As long as she is being talked about.Sorry Kim you are a mess.
Maybe four years ago she was on top of the world and this book would have made sense then. This just reeks of, “my fifteen minutes are coming” and I think she feels that way whether it’s true or not.
The biggest hit to her ego will be if this book doesn’t sell at all.
I’m sure Kris and Kanye will buy them by the truckload just like they did woth that ridiculous issue of Vogue!
It’s Zena, warrior pajama princess.
Dumpy streetwalker.
She needs to dress for her body type.
Kanye dressed her up again?
Well that is truly horrible. I see Kanye is still dressing Kim and Khloe looks like she’s auditioning for the ho stroll.
Real question tho: do those Hairfinity vitamins actually work?
A Kardashian endorsement of any health products is a negative, in my opinion. Look how Quik Trim worked out http://health.usnews.com/health-news/diet-fitness/articles/2012/03/05/the-dangers-of-kardashian-endorsed-quicktrim-2
Maybe. But why give her your money? I’ve personally found using (FOOD GRADE) diatomaceous earth (which is mainly composed of silica) helps my hair grow super fast. 1 to 2 tablespoons a day and it’s literally “dirt” cheap.
I take biotin (hair,nails,skin) 1000 mg a day since the birth (and subsequent hair loss) of my daughter. I have a crazy amount of new hair growth 3-4 in.
Butt cover.
Is she pregnant again? She looks super size or is it just the drapes?
She looks ridiculous.
At least she’s stopped trying to be the new Elizabeth Taylor…..
There’s just no way sedatives could be giving her the sedative face, Kardashians are paragons of virtue who would never dream of something as amoral as drugs! Kim has a benzo-zombie look to her and I won’t rule out that possibility because a Kardashian says it ain’t so. Kardashians lie.
That permanently immobile face, the lifeless eyes….even when not exactly posing….she’s been reminding me of something for ages. I’ve Just realised it’s those reconstructions of mummified pharaohs and other ancient citizens, who are brought to back to life in science-tastic museums….so we can meet King Tut/some Romano-Egyptian lady etc almost in real life. Kim reminds me exactly of those amazingly realistic faces: almost, but not quite, alive.
Oh my god, I see it! This is going to slay me every time I see this bitch from now on.
I ever realized Kim has her own version of the Waity Nude LK Bennetts. I want to do a run-by to snatch those shoes off her feet and burn them. Guess that won’t work since I’d spend all day trying to untie the darn things.
Further down, I posted about the damm shoes, too. I also want to rip up all of her coats with the too-long sleeves.
They are, aren’t they!
Well her and Kate are twinsies of a different dialect. 😉
Yep.She always wears those shoes.Doesn’t she know that is a fashion mistake?I guess she is trying to make it her signature look.
I love those shoes.
Halloween hooker horrible
LOL There are no words. Poor Kimmie, she’s so not high fashion or a fashion icon, like Kanye wants the world to see her as.
I do hope you include pictures of Kim earlier in the day when she was wearing a “shredded” leather pencil skirt. Khloe was with her and Khloe’s outfit wan’t much better. As for this outfit, as always, too tight and crop tops do her no favor.
Again with the lace-up tan heels!
This a total beast on an outfit. When I first saw it I thut she was wearing some sort of make-up robe over her underwear. Kim is really in need of some proper advice about dressing for her body shape. Khloe looked fab though
Ever since Kanye and Tisci started dressing her she looks so dimwitted and passive. She doesn’t wear the clothes, they wear her. I imagine the two men dreaming up ridiculous and unflattering styles for her to wear and she does as she is told.
I was never a fan of hers but she used to look more vibrant and she dressed better for her short, curvy body.
So true
She really thinks those suede lace-up bootie-sandals go with everything, doesn’t she? She looks ridiculous. Sadly, those shoes are still the least offensive thing about this outfit.
Just following Kanye’s lead as he wears the same tan boots all the time
Kim, Honey, leave London to people with real style, This isn’t LA.
Kimmode is always awful; why do you keep asking? LOL
LOL!
Holy quap I don’t know which of them looks worse…..yes I do, the tall one. (Tisci has officially entered the eejit class, for the MM comparison)
Someone mentions Kim’s ‘evolution’ in the blurb for the ‘book’……in the same waffle that also mentions ‘throwback’ in reference to her early look. I’d have expected Rizzoli to employ squads of editorial blooper-troopers to avoid this type of unfortunate hilarity. Dictionary = your friend.
Khloes outfit is kind of cute, it suits her. Kim however needs to burn those shoes and re-think every single item she is wearing.
I know!! Why does she always wear these same shoes!!!
Yikes! When Kanye is picking out her clothes, he must not know how short and wide she is. What’s with all the midriff and drooping coats with too long sleeves? Absolutely awful dull color makes it even worse
Terrible! Are those gladiator sandals?
I think Kim looks like she crawled out of the bargin bin at Marshalls. Seriously she looks horrid. That wig looks dirty and those tan shoes are awful. I know she thinks she looks too cool for school but in reality her sister (any sister) looks far better. I laughed when I saw her looking smugly at the pictures the photographer took. And who would buy anything thing they promote when they don’t even use their real hair?
OMG I’m the personification of an anti-fan (no apologist here) but I’m so annoyed that people don’t know how wigs/weaves work. That’s HER hair. She most likely doesn’t even have extensions in at the moment because of how long it is.
True American Icon? Comparisons to Marilyn Monroe? These people are certifiable.
Lol. If that Marshalls, I’ll stick to TJ Maxx
The title of the book should really be called “photoshop” because none of those pics are untouched. The publisher is trying to insinuate that Kim came up with some revolutionary idea. She didn’t invent the “selfie”. Honestly, who are the idiots that will buy this book? You can see her selfies on twitter and instagram for free if you are into that kind of stuff.
I also need to mention I really like Khloe’s dress. Kim on the other hand…
I think the name of the book should be “American Hustle: How I Was Able to Dupe the Public Into Buying a Book of Photographs of Myself.”
I only click on the Kardashian posts in hope of reading the term “drowsy hooker”. It makes me laugh and laugh. I think I’m going to try to incorporate it into a conversation this week
I like the idea of trying to incorporate it into a conversation…we should all report back with our stories on the next Kardashian article, you know there will be something Kardashian this week.
Ok will do! I work in a mental health clinic so it should be interesting!
no side shot of Khloe’s pinocchio butt?
I kind of liked the cloak ensemble.. maybe there are other angles that are leaa flatering. Agreed the makeup is too dark
When the two of them are in the photo, it makes it look like they put on each other’s clothes for a laugh.
I like the outfit!! As for Hairfinity vitamins, a lot of people said they work. Even my hairdresser. So becuz they endorse it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. As for her outfits , a lot of women I know like them…so r they idiots for liking them. And as long as her stomacj is flat wear a crop to if she feels like it. All the indercover snark is so not cool. U say dress for her body, but what u r really saying is ahe is fat
She’s not fat, but she’s short and has an hourglass shape. Before she met Kanye she dressed better. Sometimes she crossed over into trashville, but she was younger then and why not flaunt it? But now they (I say they because I think it’s Kayne and Tisci) are trying to put her into clothes that tall skinny models wear. Statement clothes, not tasteful clothes that flatter her body. And she looks ridiculous.
She should show some cleavage, because that’s an asset, but not cut to the navel. Her pants and dresses should be well tailored and fit her properly. Her skirts should be slim but not too tight and her hems stay around the knee, just above or below, because she has short legs. And ditch the stupid gladiator shoes, they make her look really dumpy.
no one is saying she is fat. we are saying the way she dresses makes her look bigger. maybe she wants that, idk. we are saying she dresses the opposite of what flatters her body type. maybe it’s because she didn’t have that body type before. if you saw old footage of her she was slim and had smaller boobs and butt. you dress a slim body different than a curvy one. for instance, i have big hips. so i wear pants with a higher waist and little to no excess material on the hips and thighs. because that makes it look bigger. anything that’s too tight makes you look bigger. that is kim’s main problem. if she wore the right size, she would look a lot better.
She looks like she’s being swallowed by the cloak, it has nothing to do with calling her fat. It’s ridiculous to assume criticism of her is for her weight, there is plenty to criticize her for but I could care less how much she weighs. The clothing doesn’t flatter her, she looks terrible, like usual because she has no taste whatsoever.
I really love Khloe’s dress!
Khloe forgot pants. Kim obviously ran out of time and came to the event in her undergarments and robe, and hoped no one would notice.
They both look like idiots.
Is anybody not seeing the obviousness of the make-up right down the middle of her boobs? They are real you know.
Star Wars hooker? So bottom-busy and clunky. She’s trusting the wrong people to dress her. Maybe she’s in a tough spot being married to someone who’s convinced her he has a good/trained eye.
For as much as y’all hate Kim Kardashian, you sure do jump at the chance to write about her. I mean, I’m no fan of the woman, but come off it, Celebitchy.
This may shock you, so make sure you’re seated when you read this: gossip sites cover the Kardashians. Crazy, I know.
I was hoping the book would be coming out before Christmas. It is the perfect gag gift for the holidays.
I love how the title perfectly describes her: selfish
I think Kanye described Kim as being “into style.” Not in my book, no. She always looks like a freaking idiot serving her T and A up for consumption.
Tan strappy stelios ….check
part of the body showing…..check
2 lbs makeup to cover forehead breakouts for both ….check
blank empty eyed soulless stare ….double check…
Hair extension for Khloe …check…..
Pants that go with Khloe jacket…..OPPS ! just ashy looking knock knees
and poofed out lips ….double check..
Now we are ready for our close up Mr De Mille……..!!!!
When I saw Kim in this dress and Khloe in that awful short dress, both in the Daily Fail, I was once again stunned that people actually think these sisters are beautiful and dress well.
Holy Moly Batman!
I try very hard to not click on any article about this woman and her family but had to click on this one. That pic of her on the front page looks like Teresa from RHoNJ. Scary.
Groan! Someone being ‘recognisable’ does not make them the second coming of Monroe!! MM became a legend and an icon for capturing the HEARTS of millions with a mix of her beauty, humour, vulnerability and ultimate tragedy. People adored Monroe. I wish people would stop using Monroe to promote every cheap celebrity that exists these days. Truth is I doubt we will ever see another Monroe since Hollywood and celebrity has changed so much.
Just want to point out that there are plus-size models, so saying “model thin” doesn’t work anymore in that context.
You’re spot on about the heavy eye makeup and Kim putting her chin down. She looks awful.
I kind of like it. I would have switched out the shoes for knee high suede stiletto boots in grey.
Why does anyone want to be Marilyn Monroe? Yes, she was beautiful. But the poor woman was miserable,a tortured soul. Say what you will about Kim, but I think she’s more balanced and more professional than Marilyn was. I’ve never heard a story about her locking her self in a dressing room and being unable to do her job, such as it is, because she was having a drunk meltdown.
I saw a paparazzi picture of her while she was walking with that outfit on, and it actually looks really pretty. The skirt has slits, so it’s more of an “in motion” outfit rather than a “let me stand here like a zombie” outfit.
Those beige strappy gladiator sandals have got to go. She wears them with virtually everything and they go with nothing, make her legs look stumpy and IMO look cheap and tacky.
All that money and she wears one pair of hideous shoes over and over. *smh*
WTF??:? I cannot even say anything more….
