The Pain and Beauty of being Kim Kardashian

As she prepares for her 11th Met Gala appearance, Kim's words to Vogue cameras betray a sense of unease masked by a carnival of confidence. "It's an art form, really," she muses, while struggling to breathe. Kims voice tinged with a hint of insecurity heavily drowned in delusion "I feel so snatched I can't even begin to communicate to you how snatched I feel." She’s evolved into an object that can be conformed into anything at all, and as others gawk in horror she feels satisfaction. Caught in the grip of body dysmorphia, Kim grapples with a distorted self-image that eclipses even the most extravagant couture creations. Her journey through the Met Gala's famous stairs becomes a battleground of contradictions—a quest for validation in a world that measures worth by inches and angles. The infamous cardigan incident serves as a poignant reminder of Kim's internal strife, as she attempts to conceal her perceived flaws behind a veil of fabric. Yet, the garment's inability to mask her insecurities only amplifies the sense of disillusionment and self-doubt that plague her every step. Clad in a custom creation by John Galliano, Kim's choice of attire becomes a metaphor for the armor she wears to shield herself from the harsh glare of scrutiny. The "metal lace" corset, meticulously crafted to accentuate her curves, serves as both a shield and a prison—a symbol of the perpetual struggle between perception and reality.
"It's like really the real-life me," Kim confesses, her reflection a distorted mirror of her inner turmoil. "Real life happens, and sometimes I'm in my makeup from the night before, and it is what it is." In her candid admission, Kim lays bare the fragile facade of perfection—a facade that crumbles under the weight of relentless self-scrutiny. Is she aware of who she’s become? Even her choice of the very same footwear worn for the Marilyn debacle of ‘22—a seemingly inconsequential detail—betrays the extent of Kim's struggle with body dysmorphia. The clear lucite Pleaser platform heels, the official footwear of exotic dancers at the finest of gentlemen’s clubs across the nation, serve as a stark reminder of the lengths she will go to maintain an illusion of flawlessness. As another Met Gala fades into the Vogue archives, Kim Kardashian remains a haunting image of the silent battle waged against body dysmorphia—a battle fought in the shadows of fame and fortune. Was this what she wished for? Beauty lies not in the eyes of the beholder, but in the depths of the soul. original published https://medium.com/@heidilothringer/never-enough-the-pain-and-beauty-of-being-kim-kardashian-ceb5edfacd11
