The people who have helped build Kim Kardashian into an icon are celebrated as an us-ie
There is perhaps no trend more disparaged
as a sign of millennial self-obsession than the selfie, and Kim
Kardashian is the undisputed queen of selfie-taking. Yet her new book of
annotated self-taken photos, titled Selfish and out this week, feels almost like an ode to the people around her.
Yes, there is healthy ego in Mrs. Kanye
West’s glam shots. There are bikini selfies, bathroom selfies, selfies
in the club, selfies in the car. But sometimes, other people wander into
the shot. The people who are behind the scenes, in her her hotel room
or her green room. The people who help make her look like the woman
everyone’s scrambling to see.
“I can look at any photo of myself and
can tell who did my hair and makeup, where I was and who I was with,”
Kardashian writes early on. Throughout the book, she proves it’s true:
“I remember Stephen Moleski did my makeup and Clyde Haygood did my
hair,” she writes next to that photo.
