I’ve been getting such a strange vibe from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West ever since the quarantine began. First of all, it’s not even like Kim and Kanye were locked down together with their kids for months on end. He was going back and forth from the dome in Wyoming and Calabasas, while Kim mostly stayed in Calabasas. Nearly every major outlet – People, Us Weekly, the Daily Mail – got tips on how the Kardashian-West marriage was in tatters, that Kim wasn’t used to spending time with Kanye, that their marriage cannot survive the pandemic. But the vibe lately has been… different. When Coty bought 20% of Kim’s KKW Beauty line, Kanye posted this on his Twitter:
I am so proud of my beautiful wife Kim Kardashian West for officially becoming a billionaire
You’ve weathered the craziest storms and now God is shining on you and our family
So blessed this is still life
So I made you this still lifeWe love you so much pic.twitter.com/Vvtgzodnah

Am I crazy for thinking that the veggies and flowers are supposed to represent Kim, Kanye and the kids? The girls – Kim, North and Chi – are the flowers and the boys – Kanye, Saint and Psalm – are the veggies? Am an idiot for reading that deep into it? Probably. So, clearly, Kanye was deep into his feelings about his wife making $$$. But I didn’t expect him to celebrate it any further than the still life photo. He did though – he decided to transform their bathroom into an “enchanted forest.” Kim posted the video on her IG Stories, saying: “So I come home and my whole bathroom is decorated like an enchanted forest and it’s so beautiful and so visually pretty.” He left her a “sweet note” too.
This is bonkers because HOW BIG IS THEIR BATHROOM? Is the entire ceiling of the bathroom a skylight? It looks like their back garden. And no, I don’t want anyone moving an enchanted forest into my bathroom. Put an enchanted forest in the back garden, by all means. But not this. Not a place where I brush my teeth.
And finally, behold: Kanye and Elon Musk. Ugh.

That’s not an enchanted forest – that is a lifeless collection of plants that managed to make that bathroom seem even more lifeless than it was before.
Also, everyone on the Kardashian/West team needs to quit making posts of their crass overindulgence when there is still a pandemic going and a huge number of people are still afraid for their jobs and their health.
Your description is dead-on, grabbyhands. I could not imagine making a bunker more soulless, yet there it is.
That looks more like a marsh or a swamp and I’m not mad about either of those things (since it’s not my bathroom), but I wouldn’t take pictures or video of that and try to tell people it was an enchanted forest, either.
Lies. We’re looking AT the reeds, Kimberly.
I’m getting Blair Witch Project vibes. Kim’s voice also sounds dead.
The first comment on the linked Instagram post is “Dusty plants. Nah.” Apt description grabbyhands.
It looks like an enchanted forest that spell placed on it by an evil witch or wizard and so is slowly dying until a prince or princess saves it by defeating an evil ghoul.
Dust Magnet. Showing off your bloated wealth during these difficult times is in poor taste.
Kind of looks like the lobby of a medical facility.
Unicorn Bones. You nailed it.
A forest…. with not a single tree. And those tall ones in the middle have absolutely been spray-painted. Yuck.
It all looks dead.
Honestly, they are so gross. Yes, let’s celebrate becoming a “billionaire” while nearly half the world’s population doesn’t have access to enough fresh food, water and basic medical services. You don’t become a billionaire without stepping on the backs of others and employing un-ethical practices, so #EatTheRich.
Yeah just google “Kylie and Kendall Bangladesh factory workers”.
I heard that these “photo ops” are orchestrated by Kris or the girls themselves. Valentine’s, birthday flowers, and anniversaries. I do not believe their partners come up with these extravagant – fairytale ideas without a little nudge or push. I always felt as though Kim and Kylie try to one-up another. And that it is fully orchestrated and so tacky and fake. Who has their camera ready when they are suppose to be suprised (other videos, not this one)? That’s just my opinion. By the way, they all have horrible taste.
@shoes I completely agree that Kylie and Kim try to one up each other. Remember when Kylie posted the video where whichever BF had filled her house with red roses and tea lights, like a ridiculous amount? And Kim had the ‘wall of flowers’ from Kanye around the same time. It’s just so interesting that both of them have such sensitive, thoughtful and creative partners who adore them and love to spoil them! /s
It’s beyond gross. #Eatherich indeed
I don’t know who is more obsessed with money…Kim or Kanye. They are so jealous of Kylie it’s insane. Trying so hard to become “billionaires”. Shut up already.
Kim and Kanye are tedious.
Elon looks thrilled to be his boy. 🙄
Elon and Ye are 2 pro-pandemic, “open America and let workers die so your family can have Baskin-Robbins” bros. Gross.
And I love when spouses celebrate each other. But there’s a big difference between, “my wife redid the balcony!” and “my wife just went from RICH to MEGA RICH!” Read the room, dude.
I didn’t even make the jump to comparing Kanye and Chance, but boy isn’t that telling? Chance is genuinely so proud of his wife for being creative and shares her little home project, and she responds in such a. Cute and real way. Kanye is proud of…Kim’s latest scam deal?
It’s not a hard decision which kind of love I would rather have.
Lol at Kimmy Cakes trying to be a (Walmart brand) knock off Lisa Bonet in that header pic. What in the cultural appropriation hell?
I bet he genuinely thinks Kim works harder than others and that’s why she’s rich.
You know who works hard? My mother, the night shift manager at a McDonald’s near a busy hospital in a town full of the elderly. She’s feeding emergency workers at night and caring for her children during the day.
His suburban pedigree is showing. No one actually from the South Side thinks money inherently correlates with hard work.
So true. And for him to actually say that God blessed them with all of this wealth is so gross. It implies that people like your mom and the health care workers she feeds are not worthy of God’s blessings.
that’s the whole premise of the “prosperity gospel” types like Joel Osteen. God made them rich because they’re “good”.
if you’re not rich, you must be “bad” and not worthy of God’s financial blessings. either that or you’re just lazy and not working hard enough – i.e. “bad”.
Yes, that bothered me as well. Money is not tied to hard work. In fact, it seems that the richest among us actually work the least and vice versa.
Am I the only one thinking “just think of all of those leaves in the bathtub to clean out before I can have a soak tonight”?
My allergies flared up just looking at those dusty plants. Yuck.
Also, I hate the idea that when someone makes a lot of money (usually on the back of others) they are “blessed by God”. Please.
The Painted Desert has more life than this Bathroom.. it’s also the first place I thought of upon seeing the bathroom.
All that $$$ and their mansions are so lifeless with no character.
Why are there chairs in the bathroom? Do they watch each other poop?
Has either one of them seen a forest. This is not what one looks like.
I love everyone says May be decorated her bathroom. He didn’t do anything but make a phone call for a ridiculous idea.
Right?? So there were god knows how many people frantically working to make his “vision” come to life?! I mean, I guess yay for employment? But it just seems like beyond over- consumption. I’m visualizing the crazy phone calls/texts to pull this off. Ugh.
If this is a “forest” to illustrate how dry and lifeless the planet will be with climate change ok, goal achieved.
I just see places for bacteria to THRIVE…which is what I think when I see that…
Ye and Musk. That is one unholy alliance.
Celebrities being ostentatious right now – there are millions out of work wondering how they’re going to pay for FOOD and the roof over their heads, and these TONE-DEF morons with their cheap dried dead sagebrush from Michael’s
I just can’t
Celebrities being ostentatious right now – there are millions out of work wondering how they’re going to pay for FOOD and the roof over their heads, and these TONE-DEF morons with their cheap dried dead sagebrush or whatever is made for those wreaths on a gramma’s door in Iowa from Michael’s
I just can’t
Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to Kim if he made a contribution to the Innocence Project to “celebrate”?
Gorgeous bathroom.
Has anyone seen Crazy Delicious on Netflix? That is an enchanted forest!…this is lame af.
No, but you just made me google the trailer! That was fun!
Off topic, but I was listening to some live music on youtube while working and there was a song by Muse. After that the interview came up and they said that once after a show they came back backstage and there was Kanye, out of nowhere just there, expressing intense interest in their merch design. It just made me laugh because this is so Kanye, living on his own world and almost accidentally wondering into someone else’s space thinking he is the world’s design guru.
These dead, plastic-looking plants seem to be saying something about their marriage.
Two weirdos together
Looks like an office lobby.
This is exactly what I imagine living with Kanye to be like. “…dear? did you move all of the plants from the yard into the master bathroom?” Then he kartwheels past the door screaming “THE CHILDREN ARE VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS!!”
lololol Not that I ever wanted to imagine living with Kanye, but you made that come to life!
Yeah, that made me imagine Kanye as Willy Wonka. Except take out all the color, whimsy and candy, replace it with stark prison decor, then celebrate that you have enough money to buy even more plastic surgeries by taking a bath in the hard cement trough full of scratchy dried/dead things from the yard. Whoo-hoo! If I was rich, I don’t think I would use it to buy any of the same things as this family. They are zero percent relatable.
What’s up with them wearing all this shiny PVC/ leather? Those look like dried plants but they have a very minimalist, institutionalized aesthetic. That bathroom is massive and does look like a lobby.
Enchanted forest being the state of everything living being dead, like in the forest of thorns in Sleeping Beauty.
Oh look! Color!
She looks ridiculous
How do they manage to make flowers soul-less and crappy?
It looks like it is mostly baby’s breath that they spray painted weird pastel colors, plus some silver spray painted palm leaves. That’s not the most direct path to an enchanted anything.
#FreeGrimes
That is not my vision of an enchanted forest. Not even a little. So weird.
That’s some Michael’s craft store bullshit right there. Lol
I can’t fathom why he would do this in her bathroom. Super weird and mighty inconvenient. I would be so annoyed!
I was all ready to see an “enchanted forest.”
Instead it looked like an old dusty dried flowers section at Michaels.
Kanye is reminding me of the story of The Emperor’s New Clothes. So many people cry genius, therefore it must be true.
Kimye’s cleaning staff are probably less than thrilled at this “surprise”.
And, while I never considered the possibility of Elon Musk and Kanye being friends, it somehow makes perfect sense.
@heather, and we know that, like all rich people unfamiliar with actual work, they probably nickel and dime the hell out of the cleaners and all the long-suffering peons.
Anytime I see anything related to these people and how they spend their time, all I can think of is how badly we need to tax millionaires in this country based on their income and stop with all the loopholes they’re granted. If you have money to put a forest in your bathroom, you have money to pay a lot more taxes than you do. In 2012, when she was only worth a paltry $12 mil, she paid less taxes than middle-class Californians did. I can only imagine how little she pays now.
Recent tax info on Kanye says he got back a $68 million dollar tax return in 2019. Give me a fucking break. This country is broken. All these people care about is money and stuff.
Kanye being a good husband.
So Kanye’s back on twitter huh..?
I am going to stop watering my lawn and call it enchanted.
So a mix of beige plants in the f%& bathtub is an enchanted forest?
Take that cactus bath Kim, love you.
What’s going on with him and Elon Musk? (Maybe Musk must send him and Drumpf to another solar system far, far away. . . . . . . )
I think they must spend time together both speaking about themselves and ranting hysterically about stupid things, at the same time, while never listening to each other.
Then at some point out of energy several days later, they’ll probably hold hands while throwing their meds in the enchanted bathtub, gaze lovingly into each other eyes just before escaping together and start a new MAGA/Tesla/stupid clothes and gospel cult.
Yeah, just like Orange Cheeto Face (their POTASS). Thanks, Nestaw.
Things had been mostly quiet on the Kim Kardashian front. I thought maybe she was working on her law degree. Nah, just getting ready for Kanye’s presidential bid.
She was never in Law School. She was simply studying to pass the bar. There are rumblings she took the baby bar exam a week ago. I heard they were allowed to take the exam at home due to Covid 19. Anyways twitter exploded after Kanye tweeted he was running for President. This dude has nerve. He’s never voted in his life. He’s a huge MAGA supporter. People are saying he’s just trying to take away votes from Biden. Who would actually vote for Kanye is the question. This may all just be one big publicity stunt. The Kardashians are desperate for attention per usual.
