Kim Kardashian Claims She Started the ‘Selfie Movement’ in Her New Book
There
is no doubt that Kim Kardashian loves taking selfies…and there is no
doubt that she has perfected her selfie pout, her selfie gaze, and her
selfie head tilt.
But to say that she started the ‘Selfie Movement’…we are not so sure.
When
Kim Kardashian-West announced that she’s releasing Selfish, an
aptly-named book featuring over 1,000 of her selfies, which is due to
hit shelves April 28, 2015, her fans were ecstatic.
The
book has now been listed on Amazon with a description supplied (no book
cover yet though). In the description of the book and Kim’s rise to
fame she is compared to Marilyn Monroe and called a trailblazer of the
‘selfie movement’.
It
states, “The selfie photography of Kim Kardashian, featuring many
never-before-seen personal images from one of the most recognizable and
iconic celebrities in the world. From her early beginnings as a wardrobe
stylist, Kim Kardashian has catapulted herself into becoming one of the
most recognizable celebrities in Hollywood. Hailed by many (including
Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci) as the modern-day personification of
Marilyn Monroe, Kim has become a true American icon. With her curvaceous
style, successful reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, DASH
clothing store, makeup and perfume lines, she has acquired a massive
fan following in the multi-millions. Through social media (Instagram,
Twitter, and Facebook), Kim connects with her fans on a daily basis,
sharing details of her life with her selfie photography. Widely regarded
as a trailblazer of the “selfie movement”—a modern-day self-portrait of
the digital age—Kim has mastered the art of taking flattering and
highly personal photos of oneself. For the first time in print, this
book presents some of Kim’s favorite selfies in one volume—from her
favorite throwback images to current ultra-s*xy glam shots—and provides
readers with a behind-the-scenes look into this larger-than-life star.”
