The Ugly Truth Of Kim K

Costume Store sent Backlash After Advertising Disgusting Costume

The Ugly Truth Of Kim K
US Magazine

I hate people.

I get that the Kardashian(Jenner) family has developed a bad rep over the years and are seen by the public as nothing but a family that had fed from the fame of Kim’s sexual activities, but we still need to take time to face the ugly truth of who she is: a mother, daughter, sister, and wife.

On October 3rd , Kim was visiting Paris for Fashion Week when she was alone in her hotel room, held at gunpoint as five men dressed as cops, robbing her of at least 10 million dollars. That’s a lot of money. That amount of money could help a lower developed country stand on its feet. I’ve talked about the robbery with friends and their responses were honestly disgusting.

“Good, she deserves it!”

“That’s what she gets for flaunting everything she has on social media.”

“Wow, 10 million dollars, that’s like 100 dollars to her she’ll be okay.”

….um what?

I had to tell them that not only was she robbed, but she was held at gunpoint. They didn’t know that because all they saw was a rich person whose pockets probably didn’t dent got robbed and of a wedding band and other jewelry that she ‘shouldn’t have flashed on social media’. They didn’t know that the gun was pointed right at her temple.

That’s fucking scary.

But it wasn’t just those comments that got me. Yesterday, I was on my Facebook timeline when I noticed that a costume website (Costumeish.com) made a costume of Kim being taped up in her bathrobe, the model reenacting the fear that she had felt that night.

Seriously?

C’mon people. If this was anyone in your family, regardless of their financial status you’d be pissed if someone made a joke out of it. There's nothing funny about the chances of any of the robbers pulling the trigger and her kids not having a mother.

The cheap, ill-minded business had this description under the photo:

This Halloween it’s all about the #Hallomeme and who better than America’s goddess of all things glamorous ‘Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Costume?’” the explanation on the site reads. “She has devoted her life to promoting American decadence, youth, and hedonism but all that flashy living caught up with her one night in Paris when armed men bound her, stole her jewelry and her peace of mind. This Halloween have some fun with pop culture and dress just like the Queen of Social media.”

Thankfully, the site received enough backlash that it removed the costume from the website.

It’s disgusting.

Immoral.

Disrespectful.

And what’s sad is that it’s not going to stop any cold-blooded human from making their own costume, it just stops any revenue for a company that thought it would be a good idea to advertise such a gross costume. What you would be doing is making a traumatized woman relive a night over and over that’ll she’ll struggle to move on from for a long time through social media in the worst way: vulnerability in the exploitation of the heinous crime.

Anyone who would wear this costume deserves the ridicule and backlash that comes with it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
