Kim Kardashian in her Birthday Suit

Thursday, October 21, 2010

Some say the body in its natural state is art and beautiful.  Kim Kardashian embraced this idea by posing nude in the latest version of W Magazine.  You can read the November issue on stands now to hear why she did it and her view of her public perception.  After her tape scandal and controversial playboy shoot some may say this may not benefit her image.  What do you think, should she have done it?

I say more power to her! People are going to think what they want to think and that shouldn't stop her from doing what she wants to do. Don't live in the past! Plus Kim K has an amazing curvy body that is perfect for showing that any size it sexy! Rock it girl!!!

Though I'm not a fan of her show, Kim is a beautiful girl. Sadly, she has a public image that isn't very classy. She often wears way too much makeup and clothes that are too revealing. But, Kim Kardashian is not the only woman in the pubic eye that does this. Unfortunately, many women have the idea that "sexy" means "sex". Being revealing doesn't make you more attractive. I wish women would use their intellect more than their physical assets to find success. This cover does not do much to help an already tarnished public image.

She took the decision to do it, so more power to her. I don't think doing these shoots affects how people see her. She's a beautiful woman, so why not?

Kim is nude in this magazine but the photos are definitely more artistic, she looks beautiful and it's nice to see someone proud of their full figured body

I am glad to see someone who isn't anorexic posing for a magazine.

I do not. I think the public forgives lapses in judgment once, maybe twice. It's not cute anymore. It simply validates that money is all that matters to her - she is a classless, unattractive girl who has milked her name for everything she can get. Thanks mom, great job.

I really don't think it's a big deal. She isn't the first and will not be the last. The picture doesn't look trashy, but artistic. I have to give her credit because she surely knows how to brand herself! Either way it is too late for her to shape up any "bad" publicity about her at this point, she already showed it all on tape anyway...

I think Kim Kardashian is beautiful and her body is awesome. If it is done by means of plastic surgery, then I'm with the comedian Steve Harvey when he said "money well spent!" I'd like to pose nude one day. Maybe not for the whole world to see, but just for prosperity....

I think this did not benefit her image. It'll probably hurt her image greatly

I think that this is inappropriate and attention-grabbing. I think that Kim does this only to get attention. Why can't she just pose with her clothes ON?

I could not care less about Kardashian. People will take advantage of their fame for better or for worse. I don't know how people will see her after doing this, but I must admit it's pretty ballsy. I do not know how strong of a person she is, and where her ethics lie, but whatever. I personally have no preference about what next big mark-up thing she does. She's merely another servant of a shallow society that preaches otherwise for face-value.

I honestly believe that Kim has done a great job with how she portrays herself in the public's eye. Although she did have a scandel with a private video she has not only made the best out of her situation but has also showed the world that her body is beautiful and should be seen in another way that for what it is known for. I applaud her on her cover and interview with W magazine and for not listening to the public on this issue.

she certainly knows how to keep herself in the spotlight and making money- ill give her that. im not actually sure what she is even famous for, let alone the rest of her family- whatever it is she has made a fortune off of it. can't really see the point in her being naked on another magazine though.

I feel God has blesed each and everyone of us with our own unique body. Big or small, short or tall, keep it to yourself, and if you have one, a significant other. Women who show off what they have, give all women a bad name. And I've heard plenty of bad names for women, but where are the ones for men? Keep your clothes on, unless you need to shower or as I already said, for your significant other in the privacy of your own place!!!!

I also don't know why this woman is famous. All of a sudden one day it was "Kim Kardashian this, Kim Kardashian that" and she was all over the internet. I heard something about scandalous photos so I assumed that was why, but I don't understand why she appears to be seen as a role model. I receive W magazine, and my mother happened to see this issue before I did. When I did see the issue, the cover was torn off and she said to me, "I had put some of your magazine through the shredder" to which I replied, "go mom!" If nude photos are what she is famous for, this photo shoot in no way does anything positive for her reputation. It merely affirms that she has no real talent worth being known for, and wants to remain in the spotlight.

I don't see any reason why she needed to pose nude. She already has the attention of most of the world, she should spread something else besides herself. This makes her less pretty, doesn't matter how "tasteful" people say it is.

Alot of people now of days are famous for no reason and she is one of the succesful ones for no reason, now dont get me wrong I actually love kim k she is not only beautiful but seems like a really good person so I have always liked her but that doesnt mean that I will be like most people and co-sign all the way to the end because I am a fan. Now of days you dont have to have actual talent to be somebody all you have to do is look good and hey that is the way she makes her living so more power to her and honestly who can blame her she gets PAID.

You know.. I've never been a big reality TV fan... As a matter of fact, I just saw her show for the first time this past weekend. I think KK is GORGEOUS, and regardless of what the public "thinks" (and I use the word 'thinks' very loosely), she is an adult... and not one person standing back in judgement is paying her bills, so outside opinions are pretty much worthless - and any and everyone else walking this Earth. If you are not providing a person with one of the 'The F's - feeding, financing or _______, mind your business.
