...“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Kim Kardashian West" (Tag Social). The phenomenon that is Kim Kardashian West began when her family came into the spotlight due to Kim’s father, Robert, having been involved in the O.J. Simpson trial. The trial can “…be credited for launching the entire Kardashian family’s fame…” (Stephenson); however, Kim told Oprah during an interview that she credits her own fame for her leaked sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray J (Hayes). Her fame might just be infamy, but needless to say, it keeps her name in the tabloids. Kim Kardashian West’s infamy can be seen as feminism, but that does not actually make her a feminist. For starters, one might wonder what constitutes calling Kim a feminist. About every surface of Kim’s skin can be found on any social media outlet, and the men are not the only one’s who love it.

Their success is almost fascinating. It stems “from the perfect storm of a social media and an image-driven culture, globalization, and our fascination with things that are both attractive and relatable.” Kim Kardashian has become the face of modern beauty. The sisters have been described as “priviledged, attractive, curiously and debatably successful, somewhat boring in terms of overall gravitas or complexity, both unintentionally profound and ignorant, unapologetically vain, superficially distressed and ambitious.” [7] The blended family is a cultural phenomenon. They didn’t do much except exist on television for the world to watch. Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs in 160 countries now. They have created their own industry and redefined what it means to be famous....
