To be really tired of seeing Kim Kardashian's big arse every time I open a paper?

Just sick of it! If she's not displaying it herself in semi pornographic poses then photographers are doing their best to capture it from angles that make it look absolutely massive. I don't give the Kardashian clan too much consideration but I have no choice but to be aware of KK when every time I open a paper there's her fat arse stuck out of it!

It's an arse Kim, we've ALL got one!

In most cultures including my own, big bums are a bonus.not everyone desires the western ideal of a flat backside. No thank you ma'am

Alisvolatpropiis · 19/03/2014 00:12

It is rather boring seeing her on such a regular basis.

I'd bet my house on her bum not being all hers. Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé have curvaceous bums...Kim's looks fake.

ListenToTheLady · 19/03/2014 11:07

I actually think the trend for celebrating big bums is great and I totally applaud any woman for being proud of her bum, rather than hating it. I am not taking the mick out of KK for being fat, not in the slightest.

(Although I should also add no one should feel miserable about their body or that it doesn't match up – making big bums the "in thing" and women feeling they have to pad their bums, have fillers etc. is no better than everyone feeling they should have a skinny arse. I hate all that "real women have curves" shit, we are all real women.)

What is making me gawp at KK is the fact that a) she seems obsessed with showing off her bum and the media are lapping it up - it's not bullying to find it amazing that someone can make an actual career out of that. And b) that her bum is starting to look so modified that it's pushing the boundaries of what looks human, and it's interesting to discuss why some women do this. We often discuss on here people who've felt the need to take facial surgery so far that they clearly look bizarre. It's not bullying to find that interesting or remarkable.

is it sisterly to deliberately leak a video of yourself BEING PISSED on!? With the help of your mother? For fame? Is it sisterly to be an icon because you have had butt implants!?
Please!
I have a biggish arse , I am all for celebrating curves, but if someone wants to have an opinion on a humongous, surgically enhanced rear- end I wont cry over it...

Odaat · 19/03/2014 12:43

Not will I feel the need to get all 'right-on' and impose my feminist BS on the OP. We all know her arse is ludicrous and she is a vile human being. I am all for loving nt fighting, but some people take this 'bullying' malarky too far. PC gone too far (i say this as a feminist liberal btw )

I don't care how many times she gets it x rayed on her show - her arse is not natural.

RustyParker · 19/03/2014 13:47

yy Nancy66 I read that she hasn't had implants but fat injections which wouldn't show up on an xray!

ScarletLady02 · 19/03/2014 13:55

The only thought of note I have about the Kardashians is that I always immediately think of Star Trek.

I must win some kind of Geek vs. Pop Culture award or something

MurielHeslopp · 19/03/2014 14:04

I agree with monica
Very sick of seeing the Kardashian clan and her bum but comments on how big it is (by a few posters) is pretty bitchy.
My DD has a large bum (muscularly) and is very self conscious of it.

Rosa · 19/03/2014 14:16

Erm buy a decent paper that has news and not pictures????

CumberCookie · 19/03/2014 14:20

stop reading tabloids then.

PoirotsMoustache · 19/03/2014 15:00

My huge big arse is completely natural, and my DP loves it. I have finally gotten used to it, after 34 years, and am actually rather quite proud now Grin

monicalewinski · 19/03/2014 15:05

Odaat, get off your fucking soapbox, and actually read what is written rather than running your mouth off on an assumption that you have made.

I took issue with the 'fat', 'humongous' etc, not the discussion of how tiresome it is to keep seeing it or how bizarre it is that she is making a living out of her bum.

Listentothelady, what you said in your last post is what I think.

squoosh · 19/03/2014 15:09

But her arse is humongous, in fact I'd say humongous is quite a mild description. It has been cosmetically inflated to a cartoonish degree.

Kim is to naturally curvy bums as Jordan is to naturally large breasts.

Nancy66 · 19/03/2014 15:10

I think it looks horrible. she always looks like she's wearing a nappy.

monicalewinski · 19/03/2014 15:14

There are people out there with bums as big as kk, I saw some today. Some people have exaggerated pear shapes and bums that do stick out to that degree.

Nancy66 · 19/03/2014 15:18

hers has got bigger though and none of her sisters have the same shape which is odd.

squoosh · 19/03/2014 15:27

Gorgeous and natural.

HazeltheMcWitch · 19/03/2014 15:34

You are all missing the 'important' point that KimK used to be Paris Hilton's best friend. That's how she first tasted fame. Then she was on her (PH's) show as her stylist. Then came the sex tape with Ray J (Brandy's brother, also the boyfriend of Witney Houston when she died)...

... which Kim's mother helped her to sell. They're basically a very celebby-connected family who have leveraged the sex tape to extreme levels of fame and fortune, all masterminded by the mother, Kris Kardashian.

Why the hell do I know all this? I am honestly a bright, educated, busy person. I have never seen an episode of The Simple Life (Paris' show), or any of the Kardashian shows, yet I know all the above. Odd.

monicalewinski · 19/03/2014 15:36

Nancy66, picture of Khloe Kardashian with sticky out bum - same shape as Kim's.

I do think Kim's probably had fat injections in her bum or something equally ridiculous fwiw, it just pisses me off that there are people who do have bums that big and sticky-out due to their body shape and it is horrid to read gleeful mocking by other women.

WorraLiberty · 19/03/2014 15:50

I can never understand these threads slagging other women off for the way they look/choose to look.

Yet it's the media and men who generally get the blame for women/young girls having body issues.

Sparklysilversequins · 19/03/2014 15:59

I am not slagging off the way she looks. I am saying I do not wish to see her arse every time I turn a page. It could be tiniest most attractive arse in the world and I still wouldn't want to see it as part of my daily routine! I'm not sure what is so hard to understand about that.
