Over the weekend I had a slumber party with my fave sisters Kim, Kourt and Khlo! We ate New York-style pizza, Double Stuff Oreos (Kourtney’s fave indulgent treats) and for dessert some homemade vanilla cake (thanks, Kim) with ice cream (Khloe’s choice). We gabbed and gossiped, touching on how to handle the papazazzi and press, what it’s like to have a “Momager” (Kris Jenner is fierce) and whether or not I could pull off Khloe’s Christian Louboutin Safari pumps (for the record: I could). And somewhere in between we touched on North and South Korea.
Yes, ladies and gays: You read it right. I hung out with the infamous Kardashian sisters over the weekend. And by hung out, I mean read their book. Thanks to Kardashian Konfidential (it’s kool to spell like a Kardashian) I was let in on a full blown KK scrapbook full of birthday cards, childhood memories, beauty tips, thoughts on men and the ever important rules of being the best celebrity you could be. As I gingerly flipped through each page, I began to take on the temporary role of Nate Kardashian, the girls’ adorable long lost gay brother. It just felt right.
The reason I am taking time to write about Kardashian Konfidential is because of the girls’ participation with the NOH8 Campaign and their undying love and support for the gay community. I’ve always believed that if anyone takes the time to support a cause that hits so close to home for me, I’ll take the time to support them.
With that being said, this is the perfect book for anybody who is slightly or not so slightly obsessed with the Kardashians or enjoys reading the weekly tabloids. If you’ve watched their show Keeping Up with the Kardashians or dreamed of attending Kim’s $2,500 a ticket 30th birthday bash at Tao (I was comped, bitch!) this is the perfect guilty pleasure for you.
It is the cotton candy confection of the literary world! Sprinkled throughout it’s frothy pages, the girls share some ego boosting tips which actually found a place in my own personal self confidence Rolodex (a constant work in progress).
On page 110, there are 6 simple rules to follow when you’ve embarrassed yourself to the point of wanting to move to a tiny country no one’s ever heard of. For me that would be waking up the next morning after a solid Saturday night of drinks and dancing to realize I’ve been tagged in some unflattering pictures for all of Facebook to see. One eye closed, dropping it low on the dance floor or even attempting Mary Kate Olsen’s pout.
During those hazy/slightly regretful Sunday mornings I will now…
1. Hold your head high.
2. Take responsibility.
3. Get through it by making the best of it.
4. Rely on your support system.
5. Learn from it.
6. Move on.
The book is also chock-full of sleek and sexy photos including some brand new never before seen shots! If you’re like some of my friends who build the majority of their outfits based on Kardashian fashion (that rhymes!) you’ll enjoy the book.
Kardashian Konfidential is a fantastical book sealed with kisses that allows and encourages a temporary escape for a reader that doesn’t take them self too seriously.
Enjoy it, Dolls. I know I did.
