What You'll Learn from the Kim Kardashian Paper Article
You've seen the photos, but do you know what's actually in the story?
— -- By now, you've seen the provocative photos of Kim Kardashian from Paper magazine. You may even know that perhaps the most-talked about image -- the one showing full-frontal nudity -- was partially her idea.
However, you probably haven't read the article that goes along with the pictures, have you?
The article, found in full here contains quotes from the reality TV star, 34, and observations made by the writer during an afternoon spent with Kardashian at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills. Here are some of the most exciting revelations, below.
1. She's more beautiful in person: "Everything else about her seems amplified, tumescent. Her black hair is thicker than any you have ever seen, her lips fuller, her giant Bambi-eyes larger, their whites whiter, and the lashes that frame them longer. If some of this is the result of artificial enhancement -- does anyone else have eyelashes that resemble miniature feather dusters? -- none of it seems obviously ersatz. But that's not to say it looks real, either. She is like a beautiful anime character come to life," the writer observed. "As she talks, I notice that her skin, which is the golden color of whiskey, is free of wrinkles, crow's feet, laugh lines, blemishes, freckles, moles, under-eye circles, scars, errant eyebrow hairs or human flaws of any kind."
2. Kardashian said she prefers not to filter her Instagram selfies.
3. Her beauty regimen is intense: She spends two hours in hair and makeup daily, and has meetings regularly to discuss wardrobe fittings and photo shoots. Also, she works out at 5 a.m.
4. The reality TV star is photographed regularly because, she said, "literally every single day there's about ten cars of paparazzi literally waiting outside our homes." She doesn't care, she added.
5. She doesn't easily get riled up. "All my friends tell me the world could be coming to an end, and I'm always so calm," she said.
6. She uses Equal and enjoys passion fruit iced tea.
7. Kardashian isn't done building her empire with her sisters: They're debuting a collection of hair care and styling products next year.
8. She is "obsessed with apps," but instead of naming a favorite, Kardashian would only say that she likes "all different apps."
9. She eats pound cake.
