Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by the Kardashian?

Khloe Kardashian is an icon, and she's a beauty, she has always been a beauty. However the Kardashian family has elevated the stakes of beauty so beyond natural means that Khloe feels insecure when a gorgeous picture of her surfaces online without her vetting process, making us lowly content-consumers ask, did you just play yourself?

Before Kim, the beauty world was simpler times. Her makeup artist Mario buffed her, quaffed her so she looks like she has skin made of velvet. Her surgeon, rumored to have added some things to her physique and face. Her hairdressers preen, shape and bouffant her hair to within an inch of its life, sometimes she even wears someone else hair who grew it for themselves but had to cut it and sell it to feed their family.

As well as this, she calls her sisters unexciting to look at, dresses her daughter like a young woman and crops her daughter out of selfies with her when the look isn’t aesthetic enough. Because Norths eyes were closed and she was feeling her look.

She is damaging to the beauty community, so image obsessed that the lids of her daughter warrant her to remove the daughter from the picture all together. Hey I understand being a visual person, but when this much pressure is put onto a whole family by a gremlin of beauty, you have to ask, are they all happy with her visualization of their look.

That photo from Khloe, the one that most of us have seen but cannot continue to post otherwise we’d be served with a letter of intent to sue, was absolutely GORGEOUS!

GORGEOUS!! Phenomenal, smoking!

I was watching the commentary by YouTubers expecting to see her covered in welts and boils with her reaction, and I saw a gorgeous body in a tiny teeny bikini and a beautiful face! Khloe you are gorgeous henny.

So who is pressuring you?

The trolls? Who is setting the standard that these trolls compare you against?

You and your sisters?

Right, so now we’re getting to the cult of the problem.

Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by the Kardashians? *Raises hand*

Beauty is not a one size fits all, we can aim to look polished and professional and glamourous, and we can be toned and fit and healthy, but not all the time, we’re human. The reaction was unwarranted to a picture that was perfect.

Most of the women who follow you, don’t look like that at their best, never mind their worst. Your unacceptance of that photo for yourself was a pie in the face to your followers, who look to you out of the Kardashian brand to keep it real and relatable. For us, that was a rejection of your natural self at your worst, which is a rejection of some of our natural selves at our best.

And you’re the taste-makers, you’re the influential party that sets the standard for beauty. When you put that pressure on yourself, you put it on your fans.

The next post was a video of you posing into a mirror where you looked as toned in the picture. Me personally, I saw no difference, not many women did. Not many men did. Those were the people that chose not to comment, because in our mind it was futile, you had reacted to something so out of proportion for something fine and dandy. The fall out of public image came more from your reaction to it than the picture itself. Did you play yourself?

As well, the power that you hold, to shape the whole media landscape to eradicate a perfectly fine photo off of the internet. I agree that someone who isn’t as known as you, your average Josephina will be able to delete a photo and it be gone forever and you can’t. You should be able to.

Again, back to the original point in hand, the picture was perfectly gorgeous.

A further post, you pointed the finger at your fans, and the people who call you the ugly sister. This is where my heart broke for you. Before your sister came onto the scene, before that woman elevated the standard of beauty for everyone, before she made image the only talking point of herself as a human, she made that decision for you all. Did you get a say in that?

If you could go back to the first season of KUWTK pre filming with all you know now, knowing that you would be at by and large be battling with some major insecurities, would you have still signed up to the process?

Or would you have wrestled your image obsessed sister to the floor and disallowed her to take anymore charge and power over the brand that is the Kardashians.

The only ones that seem impervious to it are Kourtney and Kendal, and that’s because their naturally thin so don’t have the hoops you have to go through.

We want you to be proud of your body, every inch of it. Whether it be cellulite or dimply nipples or unedited. You are the taste-makers, so if you can’t even fit the ideal you’ve created, what monster have you created?
