Do you realize we haven’t had a stand-alone Kim Kardashian post all week, until now? See, we can do (relatively) Kardashian-free weeks. Sort of. I mean, Bedhead talked about Sock Kardashian and I talked about Jaime King defending Kim, but we really haven’t talked much about her – just by herself – in a week. Yay.
So, let’s get to it. The above photo is from Kim’s Instagram from a few days ago. She was still blonde. She was still wearing revealing clothing. What else is there to say? Eh. Kim recently sat down with THR to give her “five tips” for Instagramming – go here to read. The only interesting thing I saw was that Kim claims she doesn’t have any kind of social media coordinator, that she’s posting all of her photos herself and that she “doesn’t do filters.” So brave. Meanwhile, Us Weekly had this story:
You’ll never catch Kanye West with a selfie stick! When it comes to taking pictures of himself and wife Kim Kardashian, the “Only One” rapper, 37, requires a professional shutterbug. As revealed in the March 30 issue of Us Weekly, West hired a personal photographer to follow him and his reality star love around New York, London, and Paris, where they made several Fashion Week stops in February and March.
“The photog takes thousands of shots a day, and Kanye pores over almost all of them,” a source close to the hip-hop star told Us. “He’ll point to a picture of himself standing on a desk and be like, ‘This will go down in history.'”
He’s equally involved in his wife’s styling, the source said. While the picture-taking is left to the pros, the picture-staging is all him.
“Kanye will breeze into a store and immediately start pulling looks for Kim to try on,” the insider toldUs of the self-proclaimed “creative genius,” dad to 21-month-old North. “He likes to pose her after he’s picked out her outfits. He gets completely in the zone.”
Part of me thinks it’s sort of sweet – no judgment – that Kanye takes such an interest in Kim’s clothes and that it’s something they obviously like to share. Another part of me thinks that it’s sad that their biggest shared interest is being narcissistic, self-involved, superficial monsters. Think of how much time and energy Kim and Kanye put into “maintaining” their status as narcissistic famewhores – imagine if they put that energy into better use.
And finally, here are some photos of Kim out with North West yesterday. North and Penelope Disick were going to their dance class! And I feel like North is starting to exert her will a little bit. North wants to wear pinks and whites to dance class, not black. Oh, and Kim dyed her hair back (it literally took me an hour to realize that).

Good riddance to the worst makeover ever. Please stay brunette Kim!
She just looks better like this. The platinum made the plastic obvious.
I like that kanye dresses her. I’m used to being the only couple I know where my husband styles me. It really is a fun aspect of our shared interests. I hope that’s not the only thing they have in common.
When you say he “styles” you, do you mean that he helps you pick out your clothes, or that he buys clothes for you to try on or that he literally goes into a store and picks out the outfits that you wear?
I’m not judging at all, I’m just curious because I could never see myself letting a guy pick out my clothes. But I definitely value my guy’s opinion about my outfit (not that my current BF ever has one lol).
It would also make sense to me to if I just didn’t GAF about clothes one way or the other but had a guy who had a sh*t ton of style.
I guess for me, I’m so opinionated about fashion and really confident about what clothing flatters me and suits my style, I just can’t imagine not having control over that.
I hope my questions didn’t sound aggressive. I’m just genuinely curious 🙂
I think that’s great! ‘Looking good over 40’ is a shared interest of my husband and I, and we have fun doing it together, re-styling ourselves to fit what we want our look to be. It’s fun and healthy. Truth be told, some of my best clothes are the ones he’s picked out for me, because I wouldn’t have chosen them myself.
I ask my boyfriend once in a while which outfit looks better, but no way would he actually style me.
Kanye has made the West family look like they’re going to a funeral, and has made the whole world joke about his wifes clothes
The difference is Kanye isn’t doing this for Kim. He’s doing this for himself. He thinks dressing Kim makes him look like a creative genius even though she looks like crap most of the time. And from the looks on her face, she knows it too. The hair was probably his idea too. This is the arrangement she made with him. He dresses/ styles her and she and her family get invites to Fashion Weeks using his name. Also, with her weird shape, I sincerely doubt that she can fit into anything off the rack. Fake relationship!
Sorry, but unless your husband is an actual stylist or has some sort of career in fashion, then letting him “style” you is just creepy and controlling. Hope you are allowed to stay out after dark, or at the very least make your own meal selections.
@Sandra – that’s the difference. You and your husband are having fun and enjoying him styling you and you like the outfits he chooses. I’m assuming he’s looking at outfits that flatter your figure and are to your taste because you’re enjoying your time and like the outfits.
Kim always looks painfully uncomfortable and the outfits definitely weren’t chosen to compliment her figure. They’re always too tight, too ill fitting and make her look terrible. The articles never make any indication that she enjoys this or it’s done as a fun couple activity. It’s always “Kanye threw out her clothes and now picks out what she wears.” It’s like she has no say and sounds so controlling, opposed to you and your husband sounding cute and in sync.
Yeah, she looks so much better without that awful blonde. That said, how is it that her hair hasn’t fallen out of her head? LOL. I mean, she bleached it and dyed it almost every day and now again? Mine would be fleeing for its life.
I have the same question.
I also think it will be hard for her to upkeep the darker color for awhile. I am not a colorist, but doesn’t bleaching blow your cuticle wide open…which would make it harder to hold in the darker color now?
I know – her hair was thick and shiny – now it’s fried and dyed, all for 15 minutes of lousy looking platinum hair.
@Shaz
It just proves she’ll do anything for attention. Did you really think she’d let Kendall have her moment?
i love Kim’s beautiful brunette hair. Please KIm keep it dark it looks much better than the blonde hair.
Her hair is black, nit brown, no?
Yes, it looks much darker than it was.
Our national nightmare is over.
Kanye is such a troll. “This will go down in history” lololol
That’s what he wanted. Everyone is still talking about it. It was the biggest story at Fashion Week in Paris
That is true. It was almost the only story of Paris FW on this site (her clothes were that horrendous) We literally didn’t see coverage of any other celeb who attended ParisFW until the near end.
People are talking about it now, but it will be forgotten in a year, if not several months. There’s nothing history making about it. Like so much in pop culture, stuff is talked about nonstop for a few weeks until something just as disposable replaces it. Fashion is also disposable. The industry is always looking for the next trend and everything else is “so last season”.
As for the Kanye and his massively inflated ego, how relevant will he be in 10 years? He is replaceable. Celebs seem to forget that. Someone new and maybe more talented will come along and grab the spotlight. The next generation will choose their own idols and the older acts become nostalgia. Look at Nelly or 50 Cent in terms of music. They’re not producing anything noteworthy these days. Teens and twentysomethings (the target demographic) either don’t care or have moved on to other musicians.
North is really showing how much she looks like her dad!
I was just going to post that. You can really see a lot of Kayne’s features in North
I think she looks a lot like Kourtney too, especially her eyes.
In what store does Kayne go in and pull clothes that Kim can try on? There is no way stores carry stuff to cover that huge ass.
My butt is just as big as Kim’s and I have no problem finding clothes. Nice of you to make that assumption, though.
Where do you shop? I have a big butt and it’s a nightmare.
Joy: I’m obsessed with online shopping! I shop almost everywhere. I find things at H&M, Alloy, Old Navy (their Sweetheart jeans fit well) Asos, Modcloth and Gap. I’ve even gotten a few pairs of jeans from the Forever21+ collection as well as Love21. I also love thrift stores and consignment shops. Vintage clothing seems to cater to and work well for my big butt/hips and small waist.
Almond J
So jealous of your classic hourglass. My bff has a similar figure with a big butt. She wore a white, bandage cocktail dress to my all white wedding and people are still talking about it lol.
Yesss those Old Navy Sweetheart jeans are a godsend (I have a giant butt as well)! I’ve also been able to get a good fit in Joe’s and Hudson jeans, they’re a bit pricey but you can often find them on clearance online or in thrift shops.
It’s one thing to have a big butt like kim ( I have a big ol’booty too ) but her proportions aren’t very natural at all- I have yet to find another women shaped like her so I would imagine she does have a hard time finding clothes that fit right especially with that a$$. It’s hard to buy clothes in general ( for all shapes and sizes ) so I imagine there is a lot of tailoring going on with her shape.
I’m a little late to the game of ‘curvy fit’ but I’m finding it’s the best thing that’s every happened to me in terms of jeans that actually fit! Anything 1969 in Gap is perfect – I have yet to branch out into other brands.
Those are all places I love to shop at as well so I know you have great style!
IMO: Wow, I bet your bestie rocked it! I have yet to build up the confidence to wear a bandage dress lol. I usually stick to a-line and fit-and-flare style dresses… I need to take more risks!
Cankles: Aren’t they awesome?! And thanks for the tip about Joe’s and Hudson jeans, I’ll have to try them! Always on the search for the perfect Jean.
Tifygodess24: She probably does have to get some things tailored.. I do too. But Kim wears so much spandex that I’m sure she just stretches through a lot of her clothing. I can see her buying a skirt or jeans that coincide with her waist size and then just squeezing into them. Everything she wears is skin tight!
Crumpet: thanks for mentioning that! I’ll have to look for the Anything 1969 jean 😊
Zoe: Thanks!! Cheap, cute and comfy. Can’t beat it 😀
AlmondJoy, check out Lucky Brand jeans in Lola Boot Cut. (I think they’ve renamed it Lolita now, but it should be the same thing.) Levi’s Curve ID jeans in Bold Curve are good too.
I gotta go take a look at this Sweetheart cut at Old Navy! I’m always looking for jeans that flatter my curves and don’t have a giant gap in the waistband above my butt.
I have NO butt, and I have trouble finding things that fit. Going shopping tomorrow Gap, Old Navy, and the Levi’s outlet
Maeliz: it’s been forever since I’ve been to the Levi’s outlet! I need to find one in my area.
There’s 3 Levi’s outlets here in Orlando. I’m glad they’re close to me. It will still take all day to find the right fitting jeans
Her butt looks awesome.
Nori is so cute!!!
I feel for Kim. Her life, her husband, her family. Everything has to be exhausting. I bet she would love to just sit the hell down one day.
“Part of me thinks it’s sort of sweet” – Uh, no. That is straight up psychotic. She is not a doll, Kanye! Truly exhausting.
X 10. It’s creepy. He’s treating his wife and daughter like Barbie dolls. How about do something for the world at large? Do some charity work. Lordt.
+1000000. Giving an opinion is one thing, but going and picking out for her to try on and then posing her when she does try them on is way pass normal. Also, when I first read the story about him hiring a photog to get their every move, I wondered he was trying to be like Beyonce who has a photog to do that.
Anyone else getting that creepy “9 1/2 Weeks” vibe from this?
“He likes to pose her after he picks out her outfits.”
like most of did with our Barbie dolls when we were 8? sorry, but that is creepy.
and as always, North is just too cute.
Right? That jumped out at me.
So freaky.
If my x husband dressed me it would be all dominatrix outfits. We were miles apart in terms of how females should look. I cant imagine a man “dressing me”, I’m nobody’s barbie. Even if my partner was a professional “stylist” this would feel demeaning and controlling. Oh, and BTW, the wiglet was hideous. It was fun for fashion week, but why did the hair piece steal an entire week?
Yes, I wondered about that too. Perhaps that was the reason for the blonde? So she would look more like his Barbie doll?
I have tried, and failed, to imagine what it is like having your husband dress you. My husband has no interest in dressing me, he’s barely interested in dressing himself. I find this behavior to be creepy, it’s not sweet, it’s superficial and stupid. They’re gross people. Poor North.
The opening paragraph is a start. Perhaps trying to purge yourself completely of ‘Trashian talk would be beneficial for everyone. If you leave the stray dog at the door, eventually it will go away.
I in general feel sorry for dogs though.
That’s how I ended up with 5 cats.
She doesn’t need filters after photoshopping the hell out of her pics.
I still think Kimwas trolling with a blonde lace-front wig and not her real hair.
I saw a pick in the DM and it looked pretty clear that her underneath was black. It looked like she had either dyed the top layer, or was wearing a top piece, and I could see blonde hair pieces attached underneath too.
I agree. I think there would be major damage to her hair if she had really dyed it.
I agree – she went to one of Cher’s garage sales and picked up one of her cast-offs.
I think the blonde was a wig, too. Just another ploy to keep the world talking about her.
Compairing her hair line in the front in both the dark (it’s higher) and blonde (it’s lower) pics, I think I’m on board with this wig theory.
Definitely a wig. They probably laugh at how gullible a lot of people are. Can you imagine how many dark haired women tried to accomplish the same look and are probably now bald or with severely damaged hair.
I agree it looks like a wig but amazingly, she was even more deceptive about it — posting photos of her “hair” being bleached with captions about how hard it is to be/maintain blond. Why go through all the trouble of setting up fake shots to make it seem like you’re dyeing your hair?
Edit: meant to reply to top comment in thread, not specifically Racer 🙂
I don’t know if she bleached her hair or not but yeah, she was definitely sporting a bad wig.
“He likes to pose her” ?!!
Ugh. Just ugh. Conjures up images of serial killers . Ick
It is pretty sick.
She looks like a plastic doll, might as well act like one. Kanye has himself a life size Barbie.
I can’t imagine what her hair feels like right now. Straw is probably a step up.
Has she had a new nose job recently because I swear that nose keeps getting smaller and smaller.
I think so too!
YES!!! The blonde was a ruse to distract from the nose job. It’s thinner and turned out at the end now, a la Michael Jackson!
Looks like mud or peat has been wiped all across her hair now…even this dark color looks pretty unnatural to me. But hey, what’s natural about KK?
I think black is a really hard color to get right. I’ve seen some horrible black dye jobs and not very many good ones.
I’m starting to be more convinced that the rumor she was wearing a wig this whole time is true.
Also, I don’t find it particularly touching that he marches into stores and starts picking out looks for her to try on-it seems creepy and controlling, like she was his own personal dress up doll. No wonder she looks even more dead behind the eyes than usual.
You said it yourself “we really haven’t talked much about her – just by herself – in a week.” So that’s why she changed her hair.
Here and in other sites it was all stories about Scott and Kendall work and the one with the big “natural” lips.
She saw it, got upset that the people she bought a fucking career was getting attention instead of her and of course The Famewhore Queen had to do something about it to get back to the headlines.
And that was getting rid of the blonde hair. Or the blonde wig should I say? Cause I find it suspicious that the moment the disastrous blonde hair disappears her hair is looking healthier as ever. In blonde it looked damaged and plastic, either cause going so blonde damaged it or cause it was fake. BUT if it was a damaged look there is no way that it would look this healthy and shiny after dying ot brown. It should look darker but remain damaged looking.
I agree. Also, when she was “blonde”, the hair looked ultra-thick, or that there was lots of it. Here, it’s plastered down, but still doesn’t appear to have anywhere near as much volume. Except for that “beach” (!) photo, her hair was always parted in the middle and hanging like two old curtains in a haunted house. When she had it in that messy pony tail, the top layer strands at the back were suspiciously and strategically placed under before being caught in the elastic tie, as if to cover up the hairline or her natural colour? Slap me hard for knowing all this. I think she was taking the piss. It’s all about attention, though, so I guess she thought it was worth it.
this
He got everyone talking everywhere about her being blonde on Fashion Week. They finally must have noticed hair falling out and had to put a dark wig on quick
She said in an interview she wants to go back to black hair because she’s finally going to Armenia. Kim is dumb. What’s the connection between Armenia and dark hair. People there have blonde hair too. If she wants to look more Armenian she should go get her old nose and face back…she had amazing features.
IKR. She’s says she so proud to be Armenian and yet completely erased any Armenia facial features with all her plastic surgery. Now she looks like every other
Cali/ Real Housewive bimbo. She’s so full of it.
There is nothing sweet about consistently putting your wife in clothes that make her ass look like a sack of cottage cheese.
I just snort/choked thanks to you. lol
Kanye is a real creepy control freak if he dresses and styles her along with her posing. She’s talked about him dressing her, but sometimes I read people defend him and say it isn’t true. She used to dress a lot better before unfashionable king Kanye came along with his scowling face
Kim also said that when Kanye is away, she has to send him a selfie of what she’s going to wear that day, for his approval.
Her hair looks like it was drastically damaged by the blonde. I expect that we’ll see extensions/weaves soon.
What happened to North wearing pink to dance class? Didn’t
long for her dad to get her back into white. Kanye needs to get over the dullness and let his only daughter look like a little girl
I thought pink was the uniform? But how often does this kid go to dance class? Is it possible this was just a pap walk and there’s (gasp!) no class?!? They got a lot of attention for the earlier pic in pink tutu that was definitely outside the class (the other parents must have been thrilled with Kim’s personal pap crew invading their privacy).
There is something so creepy and wrong with these people. Ever since Kanye came out in support of Tyga grooming Kylie, I have moved from amused contempt to outright horrifed disdain. The only bright spot is North.
I think she did the blonde thing to steal the spotlight from her sister Kendall who is actually DOING something.
“This will go down in history.” I just … He is …
What if I got up on my table? Could that go down in history, too, please? It’s a gorgeous table – 3 metres long and made of beautiful timber, and has a stunning Turkish lamp hanging above. Also, me actually getting up there would be a true historical feat…
I guess it will only be epic enough if you hire some fool to follow you around and take 1,000 photos a day of you. Does he imagine he’s curing cancer? There is nobody more interested in the history of Kanye, than Kanye himself.
I think she was wearing a wig the whole time. She is a fake from the top of her head to her horrid humongous butt.
Why does she have to dress like she’s participating in the dance class? Stealing focus from your adorable daughter – that’s low……..
I love North’s little wave in that one photo. Maybe she’s getting used to the paid photogs that the West-Kartrashian family employs to get these “pap’d” shots.
I don’t go to the gym, but sometimes I dress like that with my hair up when I’m cleaning the house.
North must be used to all the people and cameras in her face from the show and media. Very nice to wave when her dad won’t even smile
The kid must be waving to someone she knows well who is waving to her. The person carrying all the toddler aids that Kim never does? I would like to believe Nori is getting more comfortable with Kim, but realistically they are probably just getting more clever about keeping the nanny in the right spot for the kid to focus on. The paid paps are careful to keep the nanny out of the shot.
North is not comfortable with Kim, look how she leans away from her in every shot, I feel so sorry for North, that’s her mother but she is not comfortable in her arms at all. Normally a child with hug a parent, especially if surrounded by cameras and strangers, North is looking around for someone she wants to be held by and it’s not Kim.
Have I gone blind! She looks sort of ( this is painful to type) good here!
Why would anyone torch their hair like that and not keep it?
…There’s nothing remotely “sweet” about your husband controlling any aspects of your life. And I 100% believe the “this will go down in history” thing.
Of course it’s going to “go down in history”, this is Kim’s ticket to relevance when her clown ass no longer garners enough attention, she has an eye to the long term, she will only be pushed off the public’s radar kicking and screaming. It will be epic and full of lies.
She never bleached it. Was a wig. Smdh
Ladies if you draw those head shots up close you will notice something interesting…First , she has used that spray on dark hair coloring filler around the edges of her hairline to fill in thin spots / Two from about 1/2 inch back from the hairline the hair suddenly gets noticeably thicker and you can see where there is a color difference in that front layer which is pulled back and slicked down over the rest it is duller blacker over darkest brown….she is still wearing a wiglet on her crown…..and the next time she wears it loose it will be healthy and thick and shiny…she only wears wigs all the time the blonde was wigs on her own hair and this is wigs …her hair is very thin and she has bald spots from over stressed use of extensions…..
I noticed that dark spray on her scalp too. Her hairline is super thin.
All that baby hair lasering she dud is coming back to haunt her. Once that fuzz is layered repeatedly, it doesn’t grow back.
Wth with that shoes?! It looks like as heavy as her butt. She look like a hobbit. She never ever look good in any workout gear due to her odd shape and I wonder why she keep on wearing these salvation army stuff.
Aren’t the shoes (ha!) part of the Kanye Kollektion?
I guess now dance class has become Kim’s new photo op? Also, how can Kim say she doesn’t use filters on instagram ?! We have eyes Kim.
She doesn’t use filters but she does use photoshop.
Yeah but I think photoshop is a type of filter. She’s still a liar to me. The people that interview her are such butt kissers. They never ask her the REAL questions or put her on the spot. I want a hardcore interviewer to catch her in her lies and see how she gets out of it.
@word I have been waiting forever for that to happen. For some reason no one will ever ask her the hard questions or call her and her family out on their lies. So frustrating.
I know. Even Oprah couldn’t do it ! I don’t understand.
Have the paps / gossip sites never, ever heard of wigs?
The ski goggles she is wearing are disastrous, not to mention the flawed decision-making that went into selecting them.
Nori is smiling! That’s adorable. What a cute little girl.
Pretty.
Is she learning tap and ballet? She’s a ballerina with tap shoes on. This kid is so cute. Nice to see her smiling. Too bad her mom thinks it’s ok to call the paps and have them waiting to take pics.
She’s looks like a brunette Amber Rose, especially with those glasses & outfit…the transformation is slowly happening but I think she’s too stupid to notice. Poor thing.
North is growing cuter..and the terriible twos should be fun!
fun for the nanny
Does she really take North to dance class without a diaper bag? Or is the nanny somewhere out of camera range? Who goes anywhere with a toddler and no diaper bag ???
Please tell me she’s not asking that sweet baby to smile and wave for the cameras.
Of course she is! Everyone loves Nori, so she has to perform in order for Kim to get more coverage. I really feel for what that little girl’s life is going to be like.
Will we ever see her in natural hair, instead of slicked back and tied so tightly to her head?
The more I think about it – and the more I look back at the tragic white blonde photos – the more I’m convinced it was just a wig.
btw- I’m one those people who thinks that Kim Kardashian was actually a beautiful, ethnic-looking woman before all the plastic surgery, ass implantsand Fredricks-of-Hollywood Kanye styling. She’s self-absorbed, to be sure. Talentless, to be utterly sure (despite her vapid protestations….succeeding at shallow, pointless capitalism is not, exactly, a “talent”). But for her unfortunate Ray-J sex tape (that vaunted her into pseudo-celebrity), I think she may have had a chance to actually BE something productive. But then, she would have had to have been born to a different mother.
I’m actually ashamed to say I used to watch their silly reality show back in 2008-2009 and I’m even more ashamed to say I actually liked Kim back them LOL!!!
But anyway…………….
I also thought Kim was gorgeous before she messed up her face with unnecessary botox and plastic surgery.
She also had a nice, curvy, well proportioned body overall before she had those ‘allegedly’ stupid implants OR fat injections applied to to her butt.
And yes, I think she could have actually been something or be a more respected person who actually contributed to society in a positive way but her mother definitely groomed her and her sisters to crave or aspire to fame and more fortune. Kim especially (because she seems like the vainest child of the bunch).
She got her narcissism from someone and it’s definitely from Kris.
I also believe her sisters and her brother (Rob) when they say Kim is their mother’s favourite child and I have suspicions that part of the reason for this has to do with the fact that she seems very insecure and because of that, she’s easy to control/ manipulate as well as being very dependent on people like her mother (who comes off as controlling behind the scenes).
Her father Robert Kardashian would be rolling in his bloody grave if only he knew how his daughters, especially Kim turned out.
What? And I was just starting to like the blond look!!!
North looks so much like Kanye.
Soft pink leotard legs + tap shoes = crazy cuteness
