When news of Kim Kardashian's book made the rounds, we're pretty sure there were plenty of raised eyebrows… until it became clear that the tome is pretty much a print version of her social media existence. From fashion lines to beauty collaborations and video games, Kim K has done everything an iconic celebrity can do to use her immense popularity for personal economics. Her smartest move yet? She selfied her way through it all.
Starting at nearly a decade ago, the book--released this week--takes us on a chronological journey of her selfie evolution (who knew there was once a time when Kardashian actually smiled for cameras?). But a huge celebrity following and perfectly practiced pout later, there are fewer smiles but selfies of all kinds continue to help the world keep up with the Kardashian life. There are bathroom selfies, group selfies, Kanye selfies, sibling selfies, North selfies, NSFW selfies and more.
And this idea doesn't come from shaky ground. At almost 32 million followers she is the reigning queen of Instagram. A regular selfie gets her likes upwards of 550,000 in number and risqué photos of her in a swimsuit or lingerie could have double taps going up to a million or more. So could this one #breakthebestseller?
