Kim Kardashian West is one of the most divisive figures of the 21st century. Here she presents us with a book comprised entirely of selfies. It's Madonna's Sex for my generation.
Selfish chronicles the life of Kim from 2006 up to her marriage to Kanye West in 2014. Many of the selfies come along with captions. It's interesting reading. We find out that Kim has quite the good memory. She states that she can remember exactly who did her hair and make-up by just looking at a photo. She also knows exactly where and when each one was taken.
Throughout Selfish we watch Kardashian transform from a B-list socialite who was trying to fight off the release of her sex tape to the multi-billionaire powerhouse that she is today. Everyone knows the name Kardashian, whether you like that fact or not. Page after page we learn more about Kardashian. We also find that she is more than willing to make herself the butt of the joke. Selfies where she is bright red with sunburn or pulling a face and crossing her eyes behind her mother Kris show that this is not a naval-gazing glorified paper Instagram, it's a dossier of Kimberly Kardashian West.
This is more than just a book of pictures though. It's a memoir, an autobiography of one of pop culture's most important figures of the last century. Of course you can be stubborn and spit every time you hear about the Kardashians but is it not better to embrace modern day culture instead of being a hermitic curmudgeon who tries to ignore everything around them?
The publication of Selfish is a milestone in our modern day popular culture. This is celebrity. Call it vain, call it narcissistic, call it whatever you please. But remember, this is the world in which we are living. There's no point in trying to ignore it, that is a truly Sisyphean task. Selfish isn't selfish. It's our world. Our society. Embrace it and be happy.

The author, Kim Kardashian is celebrated for a tape of her having sex with some scuzz who leaked it (great choice in boyfriends). Also for her huge round plastic bottom and equally huge round and plastic breasts. "Plastic" in this context used to mean fake, cheap, not the real deal, now it seems to mean that she is an 'authentic' American icon.
Essentially, if the woman, her mother and her sisters hadn't all decided to use her late father's bequest to employ PR companies to spin her celebrity all over the English-speaking world, she would have disappeared a long time ago. But as they say, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade and set up a refreshment stall to sell it! In this case it was melons, but hey you know she's selling 'em. I wouldn't think Robert Kardashian, highly-educated and hardworking top attorney that he was, would be proud of his daughters' business but then he's dead and the family obviously don't care what anyone thinks of them, only what money they make.
This book says a lot about what is considered important in American culture and that the art of publicity is no longer disseminating information but the art of creating and branding products for money, truth be damned. Creation is fabrication, whether in the realm of manufacture or lies or both. Companies that used to be considered to have some integrity, like Vogue promoting not just clothes, but creative artists who worked in the medium of fashion, have jumped on the bandwagon. Everything now is More and Bigger and that is Sexier and Sexier means More Money. Celebrities sell. And what about the art? Art? What art? Most of that has gone by the wayside in the effort to produce ever more outrageous outfits highlighting yet another part of the body, sideboobs, slit to crotch etc. to garner publicity - the media coming over all puritanical at shock! the potential revealing of a Private Part. This ''art' is worn by Celebrities parading up and own the million red carpets featured in all the media.
As an aside Joan Rivers is responsible for a lot of this. Before Joan starlets (aka celebrities, unknowns, girlfriends of, hangers on, etc) and stars alike dressed themselves. But Joan said, "WHO are you wearing?" rather than what, and a huge industry of dressing-for-publicity and stylists was born. The haute couture companies in any case make very little money from clothes, they make most of it from perfumes, cosmetics, handbags and other accessories that are not beyond the price range of a lot of people.
Does looking at a picture book count as reading? If we mean translating symbols whether they are pictograms, children's wordless story books or foreign language words, then this does count. This book does tell a story. Of degradation. Of looking at the market and seeing what would make money, no matter how low, how painful and how fake it is. So long as all the media can have enough PR releases to fill up their sites each day and are paid enough to feature them they will promote it. After all sex sells for them too.
Still it's a free world and who knows how long pumped-up lips, inflatable boobs and whoopee cushion bottoms will be the thing? What else is there to exaggerate? Visible vajayjays with pierced lips? If so do you think Kim would go in for that?
2 stars.
Not even a year old this book was remaindered.

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/
Mitchell double-dog-dared me to re-create the cover wearing my Genie™ bra. I declined. Then he called me a pussy and said he’d just do it himself : (
You know, I can’t fault a person for wanting to cash in on theirfucking eternal fifteen minutes of fame, but a selfie book????
Seriously.
Now that’s not to say I don’t recognize the power of the selfie. Hell, even the President likes to whip out his selfie stick errrry once in awhile . . .
(^^^See husband, even Obama has a G.D. selfie stick!!!!)
But what kind of narcissist thinks that their fans will line up in order to purchase this pitcherbook? (Please don’t consider that an invitation. If you bought this book you probably don’t belong anywhere near my review space.) Hell, I’m annoyed that my library bought this, but doesn’t have half of the books I request. And also, for the following claim to be made . . .
“Kim has mastered the art of taking flattering and highly personal photos of oneself.”
Are you sure about that? What’s up with these terrifying underdrawers???
They sure as shit ain’t flattering!
I mean, DUH if we all had hair and make-up people to come work us over every morning we’d probably take hella good selfies too. Since I don’t have an entourage of beauty slaves I had to take some pointers straight from the book.
Kim encourages all amateur selfie takers to work with angles and frequently features a closed-eye/blowing kisses image . . .
Nailed it!
Mastering the pout is also highly recommended. Nothing says “sexy selfie” like aduckface kissable mouth . . .
Hannibal struggled with this one, but I love him anyway.
If all else fails, a bathroom shot is sure to be a winner . . . .
Dear Library, my sincerest apologies for what Mitchell did to that section of this book. Send me a bill and I will promptly get it paid.
Bottom line, if you’re a Kardashian super fan, you probably already own this book and are currently flipping through your contacts list in order to hire someone that would be willing to beat me with a selfie stick in some random park. For the rest of you? You’re not missing out on anything.

Um.
So this book is basically just a bunch of pictures of Kim Kardashian.
Amount I knew about Kim Kardashian before reading this: 0.
Amount I knew about Kim Kardashian after reading this: 0.
Apparently she is on reality tv or something? I don't really know.
How can you not know this?!?!?!?!
I don't have cable.
Ohhhhhhh.
Yeah. And I don't read celebrity magazines or go on celebrity websites so...
Even though I just read a book full of Cindy Crawford pictures which barely explained Crawford at all, I highly enjoyed that book but I despised this one.
Why?
Many reasons. Primarily because Crawford was being shot by professionals and Kardashian is shooting herself. She is not skilled with a camera.
Also, there's nothing about Kardashian's life that I can relate to. I just can't relate to this woman at all. She's like, "I went to this celebrity party; I wore these designer clothes; etc." and I'm just like "Nope, can't relate."
The little tidbits she includes in here are all basically lists of famous people she's posing with. I couldn't care less.
Is there anything you enjoyed about this book?
Not a thing. *shrug*
There's a bizarre swath of nude pictures in the middle that are signaled out by being on black paper instead of white.
Mostly these pictures focus on Kardashian's breasts. I was not interested in her breasts at all; and some of these pictures were bizarre and off-putting. For example, in one she (or maybe a man? I can't tell, the lighting is terrible. All these selfies are terrible) is tearing off her bra and kind of making a fist against her breast? It's very strange.
I tried to Google it to show you but it's not coming up.
Just think about really seedy, grainy, terrible photography that Kardashian took of her own breasts in the bathroom mirror. That's what is in here. It's very unappealing and there's a lot of it. It's strange to me that this would appeal to some men. If you are a hetero man looking for masturbatory material, let me just tell you that Cindy Crawford's book is about a zillion times better than this.
Selfie Culture
Can't really bash selfie culture. I, personally, don't take selfies. However, I know people want to document every moment of their lives nowadays, and I can't fault them for that. It's normal and our social-media-driven culture encourages it. This urge will disappear when they are working three jobs to make rent. I find this urge to be strongest in teenagers, college students, and rich people. As I said, once you are busting your ass to earn a living, this usually disappears or drops off drastically. It's also more absent in people who can't stand looking at themselves or who are camera-shy.
I actually wonder - tying in with Kardashian's nudes - if Kardashian just finds herself so sexy that she feels the need to take pictures of herself all the time and perhaps even gets sexually turned-on by looking at pictures of herself. That's okay, I'm not criticizing, but I think I'm probably correct in thinking that she gets sexually turned on looking at her own body and face. This isn't bizarre, or wrong, but usually it isn't so... um. Public.
(And I want to note that selfie culture is different and separate from blogging or doing other things that involve taking pictures of yourself.)
She says she did not post the nudes, that they were hacked. I feel sympathy for her; the nudes are terrible. No one should have their mistakes and terrible photography publicized like that. :( However, making the best of a bad situation, I guess she decided to publish them in a book and make money off of them.
And she's married to Kanye, that must be terrible.
I have no idea who that is.
Tl;dr - This book will not increase your knowledge of Kim Kardashian or anyone else. And if you are looking for sexy nude photos of women, you could do A LOT better than this just by booting up your computer. I don't find anything about her attractive, but whatever attractiveness she DOES have (which I may be missing) is completely destroyed by her horrible photo-taking abilities. I have no interest in her, no interest in her life, and certainly no interest in her photography habits. She (and everyone else she photographs) looks awful.
I'm not against selfies and I'm certainly not against nude photos, but the offerings here are very poor. Also, it's hard for me to enjoy nude photography when I am unsure which (if any) body parts are someone's natural parts. I completely believe in and will defend your right to have cosmetic surgery, but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't make me sad and horrified and feel pity. I enjoy seeing people's natural naked bodies because I think humans are interesting and come in so many interesting shapes and sizes and all different kinds of body hair patterns and penis sizes and breast shapes and breast sizes, and chest hair patterns and eye colors and hair colors and etc. etc. but once you start cutting yourself up to look like Barbie/Ken I lose interest. There's nothing interesting to me about a person who feels like they have to get surgery in order to be attractive, it breaks my heart. "< / 3"
Recommendation: Skip this, read Becoming.

From Wikipedia:
Too bad they did not have mobile cameras then. Narcissus need not have drowned.
In Greek mythology, Narcissus (/nɑrˈsɪsəs/; Greek: Νάρκισσος, Narkissos) was a Hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia who was known for his beauty. He was the son of the river god Cephissus and nymph Liriope. He was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis noticed this behavior and attracted Narcissus to a pool, where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus drowned. Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself and one's physical appearance.

GR: Five stars, huh?
[P]: Sure.
GR: And how do you justify that?
[P]: I dunno. I’m edgy?
GR: You haven’t read it have you?
[P]: There are words in it?
GR: Oh, so this is going to be one of those reviews…
[P]: I guess so.
GR: You’re a dick; you do know that, right?
*a sudden bang and a cloud of blue smoke plumes into the air. Emerging out of the smoke is something hideous, something demonic, something really quite rude*
PB: Did someone mention dick?
GR: Who on earth are you?
PB: It is I, Penis Body Gremlin! Prince of pricks, commander of cunts! The fakir of fucking!
[P]: Oh God, here we go.
PB: Ah, hello, my boy! It has been a while. Oh, so long it has been! Reviewing this fine book are you, my boy? Oh, what a brilliant book! I didn’t know you are a fan!
[P]: I’m not. I know almost nothing about the woman
PB: Even better! Informed opinions are the scourge of PB Gremlin. I keep telling people, switch off your mind! Just stare at the ass!
[P]:I don't want to look at her ass
PB: Oh you dirty little liar! It’s like a lava lamp; you can’t tear your eyes away!
GR: Do you know this creature?
[P]: Um, we’ve met before, yeah.
PB: Oh, don’t try to pretend that you don’t know me too, Goodreads! Selling your body to Amazon, you whore! Sucking teat at the capitalist gangbang! Oh, I know all about that! I was there! I drew up the contract! I supplied the pen! Didn’t you wonder why when you turned it upside down the little lady lost her clothes? Hahahahaha! You’re mine, Goodreads! And you, [P], oh how glad I am that you came back, came crawling back to GR, to me, on your belly! You’re mine too! Oh, what a ménage à trois! Good thing I brought lots of lube!
[P]: For God’s sake, PB, you’re ruining my review. I have a serious point to make here.
PB: Oh really? What is that, my boy? Got some long, tenuous adolescent anecdote to share, have you? Hahaha! I was there too, you know, during your youth. I was there, in the photobooths, on the trains, at the concerts, in the nightclub toilets! You can’t fool me! Serious point, indeed! Here [he produces a copy of the book and opens it] just stare at it, my boy! Memorise it! That’s the Shakespeare of asses!
[P]: This isn’t about asses, PB
PB: Fine, fine. Let us all hear your serious point. Come on, boy, I’m on tenterhooks!
[P]: Well, part of me thinks that people should maybe stop mindlessly slamming stuff like this. It’s, like, just a bunch of pictures, you know? And yet I go to her page and here are all these sneering one star reviews, almost none of which are funny or saying anything of note. How is someone who has no interest in her, who hasn’t even looked at the book, able to judge it? It just feels mean-spirited, you know? And yet there's this other part of me that reviles this sort of thing, this woman who is famous only for having a famous talented husband, and for getting dicked on camera, and having a big ass. What kind of role model is that for young girls? What is it saying to young boys about women? So, yeah, actually I guess this is sort of about asses too, PB. But it is also about how this whole Kardashian thing is another example of popular culture being pushed in order to keep everyone dumb, like 'here, watch this bunch of morons prat around spending money you yourself don't have, covet this lifestyle. Talk about them, tweet about them, blog about them, buy their books, just don't pay any attention while the people in power sell arms to countries blacklisted for human rights violations.'
PB: Bravo, my boy. Oh, bravo. What an edifying speech! Have you ever thought of running for government? I could help you do that, you know. Oh, how much fun we would have! Money! Corruption! You could spend all day creating policies designed to starve immigrants to death, then all night snorting cocaine off the backsides of teenage prostitutes! How about that! I’d be there, watching! What a grubby time we could have! Hahahahaha! [He starts to cough]. I think I need a drink of water, I’m rather overcome.
[P]: Actually, you look unwell, PB.
PB: Do I? Well, I have been working too hard, you know. I do rather overdo it. So much filth everywhere, all kinds of filth, it is hard to keep up, my boy.
[P]: You need a break, PB. The world won’t fly right just because you take a couple of days off. You’ve set us on a path, and we will find it very difficult to get off it now. As you said yourself, filth everywhere. Sex! Tits! Ass!
PB: [Wiping his brow] Oh, to hear you speak those words…
[P]: Ah, we’re all in the gutter, and most of us are looking at our genitals.
PB: A-hahahaha! [He starts to cough again]
[P]: I mean, God, there was a book published just recently about a ballerina….
PB: Oh, yes, I know that one, my boy! I had such fun…[he coughs with greater violence]….
[P]: And this book is all about how she likes to take it up the Nevil Shute!
PB: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Up the…HAHAHAHAHAHA…Nevil Shute!! You should do stand-up, boy!! HAHAHAHA
GR: [in a whisper] he looks awful, you know. Maybe we should get some help.
[P]: No, no. Just let him get it all out.
[The crazed laughter of PB Gremlin continues until he collapses on the floor]
[P]: Sure.
GR: And how do you justify that?
[P]: I dunno. I’m edgy?
GR: You haven’t read it have you?
[P]: There are words in it?
GR: Oh, so this is going to be one of those reviews…
[P]: I guess so.
GR: You’re a dick; you do know that, right?
*a sudden bang and a cloud of blue smoke plumes into the air. Emerging out of the smoke is something hideous, something demonic, something really quite rude*
PB: Did someone mention dick?
GR: Who on earth are you?
PB: It is I, Penis Body Gremlin! Prince of pricks, commander of cunts! The fakir of fucking!
[P]: Oh God, here we go.
PB: Ah, hello, my boy! It has been a while. Oh, so long it has been! Reviewing this fine book are you, my boy? Oh, what a brilliant book! I didn’t know you are a fan!
[P]: I’m not. I know almost nothing about the woman
PB: Even better! Informed opinions are the scourge of PB Gremlin. I keep telling people, switch off your mind! Just stare at the ass!
[P]:I don't want to look at her ass
PB: Oh you dirty little liar! It’s like a lava lamp; you can’t tear your eyes away!
GR: Do you know this creature?
[P]: Um, we’ve met before, yeah.
PB: Oh, don’t try to pretend that you don’t know me too, Goodreads! Selling your body to Amazon, you whore! Sucking teat at the capitalist gangbang! Oh, I know all about that! I was there! I drew up the contract! I supplied the pen! Didn’t you wonder why when you turned it upside down the little lady lost her clothes? Hahahahaha! You’re mine, Goodreads! And you, [P], oh how glad I am that you came back, came crawling back to GR, to me, on your belly! You’re mine too! Oh, what a ménage à trois! Good thing I brought lots of lube!
[P]: For God’s sake, PB, you’re ruining my review. I have a serious point to make here.
PB: Oh really? What is that, my boy? Got some long, tenuous adolescent anecdote to share, have you? Hahaha! I was there too, you know, during your youth. I was there, in the photobooths, on the trains, at the concerts, in the nightclub toilets! You can’t fool me! Serious point, indeed! Here [he produces a copy of the book and opens it] just stare at it, my boy! Memorise it! That’s the Shakespeare of asses!
[P]: This isn’t about asses, PB
PB: Fine, fine. Let us all hear your serious point. Come on, boy, I’m on tenterhooks!
[P]: Well, part of me thinks that people should maybe stop mindlessly slamming stuff like this. It’s, like, just a bunch of pictures, you know? And yet I go to her page and here are all these sneering one star reviews, almost none of which are funny or saying anything of note. How is someone who has no interest in her, who hasn’t even looked at the book, able to judge it? It just feels mean-spirited, you know? And yet there's this other part of me that reviles this sort of thing, this woman who is famous only for having a famous talented husband, and for getting dicked on camera, and having a big ass. What kind of role model is that for young girls? What is it saying to young boys about women? So, yeah, actually I guess this is sort of about asses too, PB. But it is also about how this whole Kardashian thing is another example of popular culture being pushed in order to keep everyone dumb, like 'here, watch this bunch of morons prat around spending money you yourself don't have, covet this lifestyle. Talk about them, tweet about them, blog about them, buy their books, just don't pay any attention while the people in power sell arms to countries blacklisted for human rights violations.'
PB: Bravo, my boy. Oh, bravo. What an edifying speech! Have you ever thought of running for government? I could help you do that, you know. Oh, how much fun we would have! Money! Corruption! You could spend all day creating policies designed to starve immigrants to death, then all night snorting cocaine off the backsides of teenage prostitutes! How about that! I’d be there, watching! What a grubby time we could have! Hahahahaha! [He starts to cough]. I think I need a drink of water, I’m rather overcome.
[P]: Actually, you look unwell, PB.
PB: Do I? Well, I have been working too hard, you know. I do rather overdo it. So much filth everywhere, all kinds of filth, it is hard to keep up, my boy.
[P]: You need a break, PB. The world won’t fly right just because you take a couple of days off. You’ve set us on a path, and we will find it very difficult to get off it now. As you said yourself, filth everywhere. Sex! Tits! Ass!
PB: [Wiping his brow] Oh, to hear you speak those words…
[P]: Ah, we’re all in the gutter, and most of us are looking at our genitals.
PB: A-hahahaha! [He starts to cough again]
[P]: I mean, God, there was a book published just recently about a ballerina….
PB: Oh, yes, I know that one, my boy! I had such fun…[he coughs with greater violence]….

I read this. This is not a 1-star review because I hate the idea. It's a 1-star review because I looked at every page in this book and read every word.
If you happen to pick this up in the store, the section of black pages towards the middle has the nudes. Let me just save everyone some time right there. I don't want to sound like a piggish asshole or anything. But if you're looking to skip the preamble, there you go.
Second piece of advice, I don't think this is meant to be read in one sitting. It starts to make me wonder if Kim Kardashian is like S1m0ne from that movie S1m0ne where Pacino makes everyone think his fake computer robot lady is real and then when she disappears he gets accused of her murder. It makes me wonder if Kim Kardashian is a computer lady with a robo face that only has a couple modes. But maybe she'll get those upgrades soon...
The pictures have captions. Some of them. Let's be honest, it'd be a lot of work to caption every picture. The captions are stuff like, "These pictures were taken in Germany, Australia, Italy and Miami."
Yes, I have a problem with Kim Kardashian's refusal of the Oxford comma. You guessed it.
The OTHER problem, you don't actually see a lot of Germany, Australia, or anything except Kim Kardashian's face and boobs. Which I understand is the point, but goddamn, couldn't you at least get a picture of your boobs next to a kangaroo or some shit? There are so many pictures of Kim Kardashian's boobs you'd think that, by simple law of averages, a kangaroo would have snuck in there. Or, law of averages, something interesting would show up at some point.
Probably the best caption: "I don't think I've ever taken as many selfies as I did in Thailand. It's one of the prettiest places I've ever traveled to!"
Then we get to see what Kim's face and boobs look like IN THAILAND. Which is suspiciously similar to what that stuff looks like in Australia and Germany. Oh, wait. There IS one picture from Thailand with an elephant in the background. Although the very next one is a picture of a waterfall where the waterfall, over Kim's shoulder and in the background, is overexposed and invisible. Boobs, however, present and accounted for.
Look, I'm not going to psychoanalyze Kim Kardashian because what's the point? A billion other people have done it already. Ask anyone, you'll get an opinion on Kim Kardashian.
I'm just here to say this books is shit. It's not a chronicle of a whirlwind life or whatever. It's not all that amazing when Kim says she remembers who did her hair and makeup for each photo (especially because it seems like one dude does her makeup 90% of the time). And there aren't real stories told in the book. Probably the most narrative caption is from a time she went out for someone's birthday and then went to Nobu.
Hope Kim had an empty spindle to wind back up ALL THAT YARN she spun there.
Nor does the book explain or make me feel anything about the idea of selfies or even give like, I don't know, ONE tip on taking a good selfie. Which I have, by the way. Ready?
1. Clean your fucking room before you take a selfie. Pick up your laundry basket, seriously, for real.
2. Clean your fucking mirror before you take a selfie. Gross.
3. Your phone has a front-facing camera. You don't need to take a picture in the mirror.
4. Pre, Post, and Mid workout selfies are the worst. Just skip it. Everyone makes fun of people for taking pictures of food, but I'd rather see a hundred sandwiches than one more photo hashtagged #FeelTheBurn or some such shit. Fuck off with that nonsense. If I care whether you're working out, I'll ask. Which I won't. Because I don't.
5. Don't call your own husband "Yeezus" or any other stupid nickname he comes up with in your captions. I don't care how famous the dude is, you don't have to call your husband "Optimus Prime" or "Stanley Goodspeed" or whatever asinine name he comes up with.

Wow. A book of selfies. Oh my, how far we have come.
So. My birthday is next month, the 27th. And I really need a paperweight.

P.S. I'll leave the wrapper to preserve such a classy book cover.

Imagine being boring enough to criticise Kim for putting this out!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!
Who needs a photo of a nice tree? I bet there are thousands. No one cares. I like the way I look and I want to take pictures of myself. When I have children and they want to see pictures of me at this age they'll know what I was really like. It's a good way to chart your progression through life and preserve precious memories.
Kim is a beautiful woman who takes beautiful selfies. She's so successful; a model, an entrepreneur, a wife and mother, but b/c she takes pride in her appearance people sh*t all over her. Meh. If a dude put this book out I doubt you'd all be freaking out and leaving reviews of it with f*cking Doctor Who gifs. You are all ridiculous.

0.2015 Kim Kardashian Bank and selfishness, picturesque
It's everything you Kim Kardashian, Kim Kardashian icon, the man to have seen the work in which it is doing. Appears selfish than anything else, the beauty is going to work. There are pictures of Kim with her hair in rollers Jetsons-esque, patient to sit down. After the make-up courses, many makeup artists for their salaries are photographs. Then there are light coffee images. There are photos of his face streaked with makeup prevents light and fun ("I'm obsessed with the abstract," admits Kim Recovery), the relentless layering and mixing, and then pulled the nose and cheeks upwards. The company's activity is to provide the best things Kardashian to make bridges.
It is true and complete apology. Kim and honors and awards, and a group of people from the "Glam" offered. (Kardashianspeak "Glam" is a common name.) It is selfish, he wrote a brief description of the "do my hair and make-up routine, which I have." "The family was glam with my team." Kim was essentially a large extent, of course, the beauty, but chromosome methodical madness and satisfaction, beautiful. He wants more. We will have to work longer Selfies. and collected in the book, arrogance or insecurity, or a combination of both may be warning signs. What is it, but not a "look" for something that is not temporary, punished evidence of physical presence in a situation. Not, but it may be the media object, industrial production, and the corresponding view :? ("Just go before sleep, but you need to take a picture, I do not know how your makeup looks good." Selfies sleeping). Kim invented the way for a new generation of capitalism. The currency is the same.
The person Kim is like a urinal Duchamp: announcement itself as a form of public art, which makes it fun and inspiring courage.
And there are those of you, refreshing, and it is impressive, something about it is to say. Selfies and culture and invites Kim, a mirror, then create. Beauty, maybe Cleopatra began experimenting with the smoky eye look, a kind of fraud and covers a broad spectrum of research in history, certainly not. On the one hand, the logic of women, if possible, of course, beautiful. On the other hand, a woman, of course, can be beautiful. That's the beauty, here's luck and hard work and work and between different lives, and understand the complex negotiations as a real obstacle to give the illusion of happiness.

April 9, 2015If someone would lend me this "book" I would probably ... Watch it? Don't think there will be many words in it :). I would do it out of pure curiosity. But I would never pay for it though :-S.
I'm sure that the hardcore fans of Kardashians are extatic about the news. I just hope that they will get inspired (?) to pick up a real book with words in it after "reading" this one.

Exactly what I expected and was not disappointed. I have immense respect for someone who can take a huge betrayal such as the leaking of a sex tape (made within what was supposed to be a trusting relationship) and turn it into an $85 million personal empire. Kudos to you, Kim Kardashian.

Decidí ver este libro (porque no hay prácticamente nada que leer) para poner como ejemplo a mis futuros alumnos a la hora de hablar sobre la vanidad, el narcisismo (el mito de Narciso) y la actualidad. Encuentro que es un gran ejemplo a la hora de tener que explicarles cómo ha ido evolucionando este mundo y cómo vamos dándole mayor importancia al físico y a las apariencias antes que al contenido y a la personalidad. Te muestra la frivolidad y la superficialidad que hoy existen en las redes sociales y en el mundo, así que agradezco a Kim Kardashian por haber lanzado este libro. Por cierto, no recomiendo ni en lo más mínimo comprarlo, solo descárguenlo online y de manera gratuita, no vale la pena pagar por ver selfies de Kim.

There is no adequate amount of words to express my disgust for this book. Granted, Kim K is being honest, by calling this book "selfish", so you know exactly what you're getting. She can't be accused of a bait and switch here, as the contents of the books are clear.
That aside, this book truly is selfish. A collection of selfies, from the woman who is famous for nothing worthwhile. I can enjoy interesting coffeetable books of photography, but the subjects have to be interesting - old/abandoned castles and manses, beautiful sunsets, animals domestic or exotic, people in fun or historical enactment costumes/scenes, and so on.
There is nothing interesting about this book. It's nothing but selfies of Kim K, and I can't for the life of me, see why anyone would spend money on this book, or even receive it for free. Heck, if someone gave me this book, I'd turn around and use it for kindling - it's a thick book. Because there are a LOT of selfies.
That aside, this book truly is selfish. A collection of selfies, from the woman who is famous for nothing worthwhile.

The majority of reviews for Kim Kardashian's 'Selfish' are either mentioning it isn't 'an actual book', 'she just has too much time on her hands', or expressing how Kim totally nailed it by calling the book Selfish.
To me that's besides the point.
Kim Kardashian grows more confident and seems more lively year after year. This book exists just the same way you take a picture of yourself and might post it to facebook.
Selfies are not dooming our generation. As Kim mentions in some captions to her selfies, she can remember the exact moment, local and who did her hair and make up in each selfie she took. Taking pictures of yourself is keeping memories to yourself.
She's also making a poignant statement: she doesn't care. You know who all that hate and backlash people are giving to Kim should be aimed to? People who don't care about social issues. Racists and homophobes, people who, for an instance, like most of you - DO NOT RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.
I love myself and I deserve just that.
If embracing my body and capturing a moment I am feeling myself deems me unworthy, then let it be. Kim made sure she always captured relevant moments in her life and I'm most happy for her choices. Whereas she's not the biggest rolemodel, never have I ever heard about her doing something unfair. You go girl.

Kim Kardashian West here provides us with an existential black hole that the transcendental nihilism of a Ray Brassier can only dream of evoking (in fact, I find it interesting that on pages 256-257, somewhere a little past the book's halfway point, we are provided with two pages that have no words or pictures at all, pages that are completely black: it is as if this is symbolic of the black hole at the center of Western society/civilization, with the selfies orbiting it like husks of dead galaxies). The narcissism and self-obsession on display here is almost sublime, and makes this product seem like something dredged up from the darkest recesses of Bret Easton Ellis' imagination: Kardashian is the female Victor Ward. This book collects 477 selfies (including the obligatory celebrity cameos, such as J-Lo, Snookie, Donatella, Madonna, Ellen, and, of course, Kanye), along with some perfunctory commentary that's so vapid it makes Justin Bieber's "First Step to Forever" look like "Being and Time" (an example: a trip to Spain is summarized as "Spain was a wild trip.") Running the gamut from the years 2006-2014 (meaning no selfies of Kim rocking the Draco Malfoy look, though I do have to admit that the ushanka she's sporting on pages 206-207 suits her), in some ways I think this book peaks after the Paris Hilton cameos on pages 10-13. Seeing Paris circa 2006 made me kind of nostalgic: in some ways she was the Ur-mother of the modern reality TV celebrity (someone famous for being famous).

It is interesting to see the evolution of KKW and the selfies she has taken through the years. I can't really say I 'liked' this book, but it does represent a new definition of what society considers 'fame'.

“Like
Kim Kardashian: Hollywood
, her $200 million-earning mobile game, Selfish is fascinating because it’s so frivolous. As a baby-faced 2006 Kim gradually morphs into the heavily contoured, bionically proportioned Kim of today, you see the endless daily grind of the celebrity machine. “I was in Santa Barbara horseback riding with Khloé.” “I was in Africa in a diamond mine.” When Kim’s the subject of every picture, what’s the difference? The thing is, if you look at enough of anyone’s selfies, they eventually start to resemble some authentic approximation of life. Selfish is practically the consumerist lifestyle-porn Boyhood. It’s #nofilter in book form. Kim took these photos for no one but herself. Its core isn’t vanity; it’s just a woman who loves her life, glamour, and her own body. Why shouldn’t she?”
