A Response to Kim Kardashian’s Paper Magazine Photoshoot

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PS Berks chapter.

I doesn’t bother me that Kim Kardashian decided to pose nude. It doesn’t bother me that she is a mom – which is a point people keep trying to make. It bothers me that the photo has been extremely photoshopped and altered. What kind of message is that sending young girls? 

I think if Kim wanted to do this photoshoot and show off her after-baby body then she should show off her body – the one she’s worked hard to get back – not an altered photograph of her body. The changes made to Kim’s figure in the photo are unrealistic. 

Here are the edits and altercations that I think were made to her photo:

1. Her waist has been made smaller

2. Her back arch has been accentuated

3. Her breast was removed

4. Her cellulite erased

5. Her back fat was eliminated

6. Her arms, at least the right side, was made to look skinnier

7. Her butt was slightly enlarged and made plumper

This is not the first time photoshop was used to alter Kim’s body, not just “touch it up.”
