Important things happened on The Project last night.
News was discussed. Jokes were cracked. Kim Kardashian gave Rove McManus a tutorial on how to jut out his posterior at an angle that would support a champagne glass. The usual.
Butt But seriously, Kimmy K is back in town (seems to be here every twenty minutes this year) and still riding the wave of press following her shiny-bottomed nude magazine covers. She’s actually here to promote her new perfume or something. But everyone’s just asking about her booty.
And you know what? Her reasoning behind why she did the nude Paper magazine shoot was remarkably sensible and justified.
Empowering even…
Kardashian admitted to feeling insecure about her body while she was pregnant. She warned her family (you know them, all the K people) that she wanted to do a nude photo shoot when she felt ready again. The opportunity with French photographer Jean-Paul Goude arose, and Kim saw it as her chance.
“For me, it was something I knew I wanted to do, to make myself feel confident … as a role model I’m not saying that anyone else should do that, but for me … this was something that was going to make me feel confident and feel good. It taught me to do what you want to do. Everyone should do what they’re comfortable with and … I felt really positive and good about myself.”
34-year-old Kim spoke more on the topic to Richard Wilkins on the Today show this morning. “‘I had a really bad pregnancy and I gained a lot of weight and I did not feel good about myself. I felt probably the lowest I have ever felt in my life. Just yesterday I saw a clip of me when I must have been about eight months pregnant – huge!”
“It’s empowered me. I actually think I have a better body now than I did before.”
No regrets. Good on you, Kim. You sure made us look.

Good on her. I hope she feels good about herself now she's done that. It is tough being a Mum and dealing with a changing body. It's important for all people to feel good about themselves. I'm more interested in the footballer on dancing with the stars who is dancing for Brave Hearts and for children to feel better about themselves. He is stepping out of his comfort zone and using his body and his public image to really make a difference. I've never watched the show but did this week because I'd heard so much about him on social media. He was inspiring - a great dancer and so humble! He has a great body and brilliant talent and he's using this to assist young children who've been harmed to be healed. Beautiful people are plentiful. This week I've seen Kim's beauty and others too. I choose the dancing footballer's beauty as something to celebrate this week! A man with such humility and generosity! Not asking him to balance a champagne glass on his butt - he's already surpassed such expectations!!! Thank you!
Yeah, Butt, the image is photo-shopped soo, her reasoning is irrelevant. How does it help lift your spirits knowing that those photographs really don't depict your true self/body.. seems pointless somewhat.
Ha ha boom tish! I'm not so sure that it's photoshopped, having seen her massive bottom (clothed) on the Project. btw I posted the exact sentiments outlined in this article yesterday as a comment - glad to see they've been taken up! She was totally disarming, charming and genuine - and as smart as I spotted and posted ages ago, when almost all the comments were calling her dumb - and worse.
True!
