I honestly have very little left to say about Kim Kardashian‘s collection of black Hermes Birkin bags, except that perhaps the one she’s carrying in these photos is new because it appears to have a glazed finish and palladium hardware, where in the past, we’ve seen her with black Birkins that are more matte and have gold hardware. So, you know, new Birkin alert! That’s exciting. What I’m more interested in, as I mentioned on Tuesday, is that Kim’s style seems to have become a tad more demure since she [...]

Now that we’ve had several weeks (and zillions of paparazzi photos) of the Kim Kardashian-Kanye West pairing to consider, what are your thoughts? Perhaps surprisingly, I think Kim’s looked great during all of this foolishness – her clothes seem to fit better, her outfits seem to be trend-chasing in a less obvious way, her makeup is even slightly more subdued. Is it possible that Kanye’s having a positive influence on Kim? He’s very interested in fashion, after all. Take this outfit, for example. We know that Kim loves this shape [...]

As we’ve discussed previously, the pairing of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, no matter how manufactured and publicity-driven it might be, makes me giddy with happiness on a level I can’t explain. Nevermind that the whole thing is made for TV and probably the result of an actual written contract – these two are made for each other, on a certain level. Or maybe they just deserve each other, but I guess that depends on your opinions on Kim and Kanye. These photos of the “couple” were snapped near the [...]

Why does this news make me so happy? I can’t quite say. I’m sort of ambivalent to Kim Kardashian and her travelling circus, but I may be one of the only people who still loves Kanye West. In fact, the more ridiculous and narcissistic and self-involved he gets, the more I love him. Criticizing Kanye for being a jerk is like criticizing Kermit the Frog for being green. IT’S JUST HOW HE IS, OK? Ahem. Anyway. Part of the reason I think that Kim’s (seen here carrying a seriously sick [...]

Or at least that’s what our photo agency says is inside the dove grey Hermes Bikin that Kim Kardashian recently carried to a hair appointment in Los Angeles. I’m not sure how they know that just from the little bit of stuff peeking out the top, but I’ll take their word for it, at least to discuss the larger topic of food in bags. Do you carry any in yours? I’m not particularly precious with my bags, but I try to only put dry foods inside them – nothing sticky [...]

By now I’ve seen so many paparazzi photos of Kim Kardashian that I couldn’t be more bored with how she dresses, but every now and then, the fact that she has an incredible amount of money works in everyone’s favor and she wears something that’s either really incredible, really horrible, or some confusing combination of the two. When any of those things happen, we all win. I’m not sure exactly where Kim’s Versace Black Leather Studded Trench falls, as far as those categories go, but it’s a really cool piece [...]

What percentage of her life do you think Kim Kardashian spends carrying Hermes Birkins through airports? That’s got to be a measurable percentage of her life, right? At least, say, 10%? It’s probably something like 33% sleep, 20% getting her makeup and hair done, 7% filming one-on-one interviews for her various reality shows, 15% riding around in the back of a black SUV, 15% either flying or carrying Birkins (but not simultaneously), and 10% doing both at the same time. That sounds about right, I think. At this point in [...]

At best, I’m ambivalent about Kim Kardashian and the entire Kardashian enterprise, but I have to admit that I’m a bit glad to see her back in front of the paparazzi cameras a little more as of late. She kind of disappeared (as much as a Kardashian can disappear) for a little bit after announcing her divorce was announced, and as annoying as Kim’s presence is, it’s still kind of fun to talk about what it is that she’s wearing. What doesn’t look fun, though, is wearing the pants that [...]

In case you missed it (and what could you possibly have going on that would cause you to miss this vital piece of Kardashian breaking new?!), Lamar Odom got traded to Dallas. In Kardashian terms, that means that the one who’s married to him, Khloe Kardashian, is going to be spending a considerable amount of time in Texas very, very soon. Or maybe she’ll take a page from Kim’s book and get divorced. Who knows! By the looks of things, though, Khloe’s in it for the long haul – the [...]

Let’s talk about the Kim Kardashian divorce for a second, shall we? Kim even carried a Balenciaga City Bag in one of her first post-filing appearances in which she was conspicuously without her ring, giving us a perfect opportunity to talk about it under the guise of identifying her bag. I know you guys will likely have strong opinions one way or another, so feel free to share them in the comments. For my part, I couldn’t care less. I don’t find it surprising, shocking, saddening, infuriating or even particularly [...]

28 Oct 2011At first I was going to write two different posts about these two different Kim Kardashian outfits, but then I realized that I don’t really have enough original thoughts about Kim doing the exact same things in two different places to constitute separate posts, so here they are, all in one. In both instances, Kim is with new husband Kris Humphries. In both instances, it is evening! In both instances, Kim has some sort of giant, shaggy outwear with her, although I don’t think it’s the same one in both [...]

I’ve never had any particular dislike for the Kardashian sisters, even though I know that at this point, almost everyone does. They always seemed like they were laughing all the way to the bank at other people’s obsessive interest in them, and the people who were obsessed in a negative way didn’t seem to realize that they were playing into the whole thing in exactly the way that they were supposed to. Somehow, though, this set of pictures seems to be a turning point for me – I’m finally annoyed [...]
