Ok, so we all know by now the divine juggernaut that is Kim Kardashian-West.
From her humble beginnings in Paris Hilton’s closet (I started out in the closet too, does this make us twins?) to being arguably the most famous person in the world, Kim is an icon that everyone one has strong opinions on.
You either love her (because you’re not stupid) or you hate her (because you’re stupid). Kim is not only the biggest force in our pop culture, she’s completely unapologetic about who she is. To hate on Kim Kardashian is to hate on women in general. Kim has never been malevolent, malicious, or played dirty--and she even slayed Taylor The Snake (trademark TAS Enterprises 2016) for us, saving us from her terrible antics and even worse music.
I can mention how she’s an incredibly competent businesswoman, making $50 million of a video game we all played for 5 minutes. Like, seriously, we all played it for 4 months back in 2014, and she can already buy my whole existence. Or I can discuss how she turned the COMPLETELY NOT HER FAULT IN ANYWAY RELEASE OF HER SEX TAPE (WHICH WAS SO NOT COOL AND SHE WAS A VICTIM) into the greatest rise to fame this world has ever seen. Kim literally turned being the victim of a sex crime into an empire. Now, she owns her sexuality unapologetically, teaching a new generation of women to love their looks and curves. Her family ties run deep, and she is a devoted wife and mother. Kim is the modern version of "having it all."
I can go on about how she’s socially aware and all her other accomplishments, but what makes Kim so great is how she’s just herself. Kim is incredibly vain and materialistic and she just flaunts it. She knows who she is and it’s incredible. You never see her trying to seem like some perfect being or this great thinker. She’s successful because Kim is relatable. She knows how to laugh at herself and she genuinely just seems like she’s being herself.
She’s funny, loyal, beautiful, inside and out. That’s all.
