...Kim Kardashian's tweet last week has stirred up some commotion in the otaku community. While, this is not the first case of Hollywood stars announcing their love for anime (Micheal B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even her husband, Kanye West), the appearance and status that Kim tends to uphold seems to be what is troubling many fans. She is known for her modeling, reality TV, and for some people, her assets. Kim K's recent visit to Japan showed she died her hair a bright pink with some black roots. Soon, several people began to compare the style to most anime characters, some as far as Sakura Haruno from Naruto (though I do not see the resemblance in that one). Some have even gone as drawing her in anime style. While some anime fans are accepting and welcoming to the newly outed fan, others have begun questioning her authenticity. Some have begun calling her a "fake anime fan" and accusing her of doing it for publicity. Some have even continually asked her to name five series....

...celebrity who has a bigger love affair with selfies than the Queen of Selfies Kim Kardashian. A selfie is a self-portrait of oneself and is usually a digitally captured image that is shared on some type of social media website. The selfie may be captured while posing in a mirror, using a smartphone, holding a regular camera, using a webcam or some other digital image capturing device. Although selfies can be taken in a seemingly endless number of settings the two major venues for selfies are in-doors and outdoors. Within these categories one can find an almost infinite number of selfie subsets that include individual in the mirror, group, clothed, political, unclothed, humorous, general audience and X-rated selfie designations. A body part selfie is an image of a specific portion of the body that the selfie taker is focusing on at the moment. This paper examines the rise...

...motivation for any individual because it influences the to execute actions that a normal person would not be motivated to do. Whether it be bribery with the police, stealing another scientist’s works or committing scandalous acts, people have always been motivated to do acts that are questionable due to being influenced by power, wealth and fame. An individual’s conscience is strong but it is not as strong as the desire for growth. Kim Kardashian is an example of a person who was influenced due to power, wealth and fame. However she does not do these actions to such an extent that is problematic to society and harmful to others. Kim Kardashian is always craving to find new ways to achieve power, wealth and fame such as making the new phone app that is a game just so she could be relevant again with the media and social networks. If she was not so greedy when it came to fame and wealth, she would not have been...

...threaten to kill you. It may sound a bit far-fetched but it is the sad reality for reality television star Kim Kardashian West. Not only has this event left her mentally scared but the men also got away with over 10 million dollars’ worth of her belongings, including 4.9 million dollar engagement ring. Many journalists have blamed Kardashian West for this horrific event, although there are masses of evidence to prove that this was in fact an inside job. The staff at the apartment were the only ones who knew Kardashians whereabouts, the police were not contacted by a member of staff and it was a very unprofessional job. One of the most obvious pieces of evidence that proves that this was an inside job, is that the staff at the apartment where the only one who knew that Kim did not have any protection at this time. When the incident occurred Kim was in her apartment with her assistant who was asleep and unaware of the silent struggle Kim was facing just one floor above her. Her bodyguard was out doing his job, looking after her two sisters, but how would an outsider know this? Of course the only people who were there to witness the bodyguard’s departure were the members of staff, leaving only them to blame....

...celebrities are setting an example that is corrupting our youth. We have celebrities dying from over dosing, being arrested for drug and weapon charges, but most importantly people becoming socialites and famous for sex tapes. Such as the infamous Kim Kardashian. Kim Kardashian born October 30, 1980 was a pretty normal child. Her father Robert Kardashian was known for being a lawyer to the infamous O.J Simpson. Her father later died and mother Kris went on to marrying former Olympian Bruce Jenner. At 20 years old Kim Kardashian went on to marrying a known music producer, but after 4 years they got a divorce. Then in 2007, Kim became a well known name and famous for a sex tape. The sex tape was heard to leak from her former ex boyfriend Ray J. Ray denied leaking the video and vivid entertainment decided to let people view it. Kim Kardashian was supposedly devastated and filed a law suit against vivid entertainment to pursue ownership for the tape. Eventually the suit was later dropped when Vivid Entertainment settled with Kim for a reported $5 Million. And the tape began its sales nation wide. Kim Kardashian then became a celebrity, and everyone was talking about her. She began modeling, acting, and was a paparazzi magnet. Kim landed a reality show for her and her family and the girls began to look up to her. But why was everyone fine with this girl? When her stardom came from a Sex Tape? And why were parents allowing...

...One of the top rated advertisements shown during this year’s super bowl was for Skechers new GOrun sneakers, created by Rob Siltanen, chairman and chief creative officer of Siltanen & Partners. Last super bowl, the company used celebrity Kim Kardashian to create buzz for their Shapeups sneakers by showing a sex appeal advertisement. Kardashian’s contract expired in late 2011 and she was not resigned by Skechers due to her recent negative publicity. This year, Kim Kardashian was replaced by a French bulldog who appealed to a wider audience. The commercial featured the dog named Mr. Quigley who was sporting athletic clothing and two pairs of red Skechers Gorun sneakers. He is shown racing a pack of greyhounds at Tucson Greyhound Park and not only wins the race, but also manages to do the moonwalk across the finish line to rapper Tone Loc’s hit single, “Wild Thing”. The commercial ends with a funny remark stated by billionaire entrepreneur and owner of Landmark Theaters and the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban. The use of animals, especially dogs, was a featured trend of this year’s super bowl commercials. A lot of people enjoy pets, so the use of a cute dog in this commercial makes it easy for anyone to relate to. In the Skechers commercial, the use of Mr. Quigley demonstrates the company’s attempt at humor appeal for their audience and it is also a metaphor for the brand as the company’s CMO, Leonard Armato, states “There’s an underdog in all of us”. Skechers succeeded with...

...definition of true beauty can sometimes be shaken and distorted by society. Society often deems celebrities as perfect and beautiful. Society’s expectations of beauty are all wrong. In society’s eyes, you are only beautiful if you have an amazing body and your hair and makeup always look perfect, but they have it all wrong. Beauty does not have to mean the outside appearance. True beauty is what is on the inside. For instance, someone who is genuine, friendly, and giving can be very beautiful even if she or he does not have the perfect body. Appearance is only part of the definition of beauty. For example, Taylor Swift is an all around beautiful celebrity. On the other hand, Kim Kardashian does not really fit the beautiful term. This is because Taylor is beautiful on the inside and outside while Kim Kardashian was only made famous because of her appearance and wrong doings, not her talents or personality. Beauty is a very broad term. Many people believe that it is hard to be beautiful, when it really is not hard at all! True beauty can be seen on a day-to-day basis, sometimes without you even realizing it. The smallest acts of kindness can be described as beautiful. For example, sunsets are beautiful and often taken for granted. The fact that Mother Nature can create such amazing colors...

...Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology on Society Annie Martin Professor Marin CS 105 March 10, 2010 Abstract Today’s society is heavily influenced and affected by technology. My paper will explain and highlight many advantages and disadvantages of technology on society. It will discuss some ways it can hinder reputations and how private matters can become public property because of technology. My paper will also reveal how technology can bring people closer together, although many people may beg to differ. Today’s society is driven and greatly influenced by technology. This can be a beneficial fact, and it can also be detrimental and yield major problems. Whether one is using a digital camera in order to snap a photo of a precious moment, or whether one is sneaking and videotaping an embarrassing video that will last forever, these are components of technology that effect society because it effects people. It is in the eye of the beholder of whether technology has more or less advantages than disadvantages on society. My paper will discuss some advantages and disadvantages of technology on society. There are many advantages of technology. Technology allows people to email, text, talk on the telephone, mow the lawn, vacuum carpets, blend food, straighten...

...so focus on her passed life and worried that it reoccurring, he deprived her of real love. Everyone deserves a second chance better yet should be given the benefit of the doubt. Just because I stole in my past, doesn’t necessarily mean that I am or will remain a thief for the rest of my life. If wanted a robot he should have married one. Nobody is perfect. People learn from their mistakes and sometimes change for the better. Take for example, the many relationships of Kim Kardashian. According to Wikipedia, in 2000, Kim married music producer Damon Thomas; their relationship ended in divorce in 2004. Subsequently she dated R&B singer Ray J, NFL star Reggie Bush and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin. She also dated model Gabriel Aubry. She is now dating rapper Kanye West. Does that make Kim less of a Woman? I do not believe so. Sometimes all of the break ups are not just her fault. But many people are constantly judging her to be useless and unserious woman just because of her pass. When who really Kim is a very smart, family oriented young woman and an entrepreneur. And I believe she is going to be happily settle down when the time is right. When I was in high school, my uncle Fulton had a pretty girlfriend name Patricia. I use to call her “Sis Pat”. She was the most holy lady I have ever met in my entire life at that time. Everyone in my family used to love her because she was polite, calm, could cook, and clean. She did everything to the “T”. She was everything any...

...Kim Kardashian and her infamous butt, there’s nothing like it. Since stepping into the limelight in the late 2000s, the reality star has been accused of all kinds of plastic surgery that she’s allegedly had – from a nose job to breast implants to a butt lift. And if there’s one thing that makes Kim highly noticeable, it’s her bum. Why wouldn’t it? It sticks out as clear as daylight. These kinds of rumors aren’t new to Kim. Her transformation throughout the years has been the subject of plastic surgery claims. While she’s denied all of them, it doesn’t stop the people from suspecting continuously. So, what’s the deal with Kim’s butt? Is it real or not? Based on the before and after photos that span more than a decade, most likely not. Over a decade ago in 2006 when MySpace was still huge, Kim Kardashian was a 25-year-old stylist to Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan and a girlfriend to Ray J. She and her family haven’t started the reality show-turned television empire that is now Keeping Up with the Kardashians....

...Professional makeup artists know how to use makeup to contour your face and create the illusion of perfection, even without any airbrush or Photoshop tricks. For the rest of us, contouring is often seen as only existing successfully on the stage or at a professional photo shoot. This is certainly not the case! When done correctly, contouring is a simple and easy way to make your face look slimmer and your features more defined and radiant. We've got three tricks that will help you learn how to use your makeup to contour your face that you can master quickly. You will need to have some good makeup brushes on hand to use these methods effectively. If you don't already own some, consider buying a starter set of good quality brushes from one of the better makeup lines like Trish McEvoy or MAC. You can also buy individual ones to fill in any gaps in your brush kit. My favorite ones are from Bobbi Brown. I've had them for years and they are still in excellent condition. Now, grab your brushes and start sculpting! 1. How to Slim Your Face A slimmer face is a goal that to some may only seem possible through weight loss, but with a little bit of contouring makeup, you can have a slimmer looking face in less than five minutes. You will need a non-shimmery, matte bronzer three shades darker than your skin tone and a small fluffy face or bronzer brush. If you are having difficulties finding a bronzer without shimmer, simply use a face powder a few shades darker than you would usually...

...“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. Kim, on any given day, can have a nude photo shoot or just post a nude photo of herself on twitter or Instagram if for no other reason than her just wanting to. Ariel Winter said of one of Kim’s rather racy and controversial Instagram posts:...

...herself a new home. Kim and Kanye are living with her once again along with their children North and Saint. If you watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians, it is very obvious that Kris is not thrilled they are living there and taking over her home. Kim doesn't use every room in Kris' house, but she is taking up a lot of the house. Radar Online shared that Kris Jenner actually bought herself a condo and now she won't be living in her own house with Kim and Kanye. Kris Jenner didn't just go and get a little apartment either. She actually spent $1.6 million on a condo for herself. That is a pretty great Christmas present, but Kris can obviously afford it. It is a two bedroom and four bathroom home, which should be perfect for Kris and her boyfriend Corey Gamble to be able to get some privacy. Kris' new home is 2,524-square-foot and was built in 1980. This is a really nice home. Kris' new condo is all on one floor....
