Yesterday, Khloé shared a picture of True casually nestled in a Hermès Birkin bag and wearing a leopard-printed head wrap. It's the high (!) class (!) baby pic you wish you had in your home photo album, basically

Oh please. Can Cosmo get their heads out of Khoe's ass? I have hundreds of pictures of my kids from every stage of their life. Some priceless, spontaneous pics I was glad I was able to get pics or video of. I never once thought "crap, but I dont have a pic of my daughter posing inside a $40,000 handbag".

I get what you are saying, but, I am from the French Caribbean and that head wrap is something Black women have always done. I have a different take on it, madras head wraps were worn during the colonial era and beyond. It was meant to be bold, beautiful, colorful and ostentatious. One of the few ways, women of color were able to express themselves without any problems. I think it is cute on True. 

Thank you for posting this. I've also always enjoyed and appreciated the beauty and traditions of the gele and other head wraps worn by women of color in many countries around the world. Nor do I have objections to how mothers decide to dress and style their own children, as long as it's appropriate and the child is comfortable. I too have noticed the trend of putting turbans and other head wraps on baby girls of all nationalities, not just little True. No big deal. But with this baby, I've read comments all over social media comparing True with an unfortunate racial stereotype – not with Hattie McDaniel, the actress or the woman, but with the demeaning character she played in her most famous role, “Mammy.” I've not seen this comparison made with any other babies sporting that style. And it's especially disheartening to read that Khloe is lightening True's naturally beautiful skin coloring through photoshopping. Why would she think this is necessary?

So I am somebody who thinks that True looks like Hattie McDaniel or rather I should say looked as her features are changing.  And I mean - Hattie McDaniel.  Not Mammy or Queenie.  Those cheeks, the shape of her head, her wide set eyes.  Was it the head wrap picture that brought me there?  Yes, and that's because of my familiarity of Hattie McDaniel in Gone With the Wind, a movie I have seen more times than I could possibly count.  But it was not because of the headwrap that I think that.  It was True's actual features at the time. As True has gotten older her cheeks have thinned out and her face has changed.  But when those cheeks were at their chubbiest, yes, I immediately went to Hattie McDaniel - whether True was wearing a head wrap, headband or nothing.  There are photos of her profile, with nothing on her head, that are similar as well - again, so much of it comes back to those cheeks and the round shape of the face.  

I know it's a statement that can be misconstrued.  I didn't realize that thinking her features are similar to an oscar winning actress is a bad thing just because of the roles that actress played at a certain time in history, reflecting one of the darkest times in history.  Maybe I'm wrong?  Maybe it's a microaggression and I'm not realizing it that way.

I always thought Birkins were the ugliest, most overrated bags. Cute kid, though.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson Are ‘Actively Trying’ for Baby No. 2

Quote

What cheating scandal?! Eight months after Khloé Kardashian welcomed daughter True with Tristan Thompson, she and the 27-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers forward “are trying for another baby,” a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “She isn’t pregnant yet, but they are actively trying. Khloé loves being a mom. She wants True to have a sibling.”

Link to comment

Honestly, I'm all for second chances, but at some point some critical thinking needs to be involved.  Khloe said this in May:

Quote

Tristan was so forthcoming with his life, as I was with mine. It was really reassuring to feel that someone had the same belief systems as I did. We spoke about religion, children and our families. I think all of those things are important to truly know the ins and outs of someone.  Khloe Kardashian Opens Up About Falling In Love With Tristan Thompson

Khloe's problem is she either doesn't realize, or isn't willing to accept, that actions speak louder than words. A guy can talk about God and children and family all he wants, but when he dumps his pregnant girlfriend and has little to do with his child, then that's the realness coming out. What is that saying, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them"?. Khloe makes the same mistakes over and over when the red flags were there all along.

True. Plus, imo Khloe doesn’t quite believe that she deserves better, in spite of the things she tells others about self-love. I wish she had given her daughter her own name - True Kardashian - because I suspect that Khloe doesn’t feel like a true Kardashian herself. Also wish she’d get some therapy about her paternity - Robert was her true (though not genetic imo) father, but her height screams otherwise and she needs to come to grips with it in her heart, not just in her words.

Knowing nothing about these people except the entertaining things I read here, I think she does that thing where nothing is the man's fault.  A "He didn't dump his pregnant girlfriend...she was a horrible person who he had to get away from" kind of thing.

Oh, totally. I'm sure she tells herself Jordan wasn't his soulmate, she was just a golddigger who got pregnant to secure a retirement plan, Tristan wasn't all that into her, the relationship was already nearing its' end etc., etc. Khloe will never admit Tristan did a really shitty thing and he was likely only attracted to her because she had Kardashian fame.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN TURNS INSTAGRAM COMMENTS OFF ON UNUSUAL POST

Quote

It had to do with her freshly dyed hair, which she posted about on her Instagram Friday with the caption "Baby Shark." Anyone who wanted to leave a comment wasn't allowed to as they were disabled.

Trolls criticized the mother-of-one brutally on that post, saying "Too blonde looks unnatural on you," and "Lips look friggin ridiculous."

Ugh. I guess since she disabled comments she knows exactly what people think of that atrocious look. Khloe is starting to look like the most artificial out of them all. There isn't a single picture on her Instagram that isn't photoshopped to the point you can't even recognize her..between that and lightning her AND True's color in pics, nice example she's setting there for her biracial baby.

Khloe is the most obsessed with excessive airbrushing so much to the point its hard to know what she (or True for that matter) really look like at this point.

Khloe Kardashian Posts About Being Criticized for Doing ‘What You Feel in Your Heart to Be Right’

Khloé Kardashian took to Instagram on Sunday, December 16, to share her feelings about love and relationships in a series of inspirational quotes.

“Do what you feel in your heart to be right,” the first one posted by the 34-year-old Good American founder said. “You will be criticized anyway.”

A second post read: “In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.”

I think this is the author of the quote in Khloe's second post (above), she'd probably would have appreciated an acknowledgement.

I don’t think all of Michele Obama’s quotes are original to her. I haven’t read her book but some of the things she been quoted in the press as saying are variations of quotes that have been around forever.

Probably doesn't give a shit. She's seems to be loving motherhood, seems to be in a healthy relationship and she seems perfectly happy making her money behind the scenes and limiting her exposure for the cameras. Now that she gained enough fame to make her business a success, she seems to have become the antithesis of what her sisters are all about - sex, fame and money.

Khloe Kardashian does daily affirmations with True in the mirror to help her daughter 'feel beautiful'

Quote

'Social media is a gift and a curse, but I really want to make my daughter feel beautiful and teach her that makeup is fun but, at the end of the day, none of us need it,' Kardashian said. 'Let it just be something you enjoy.'

Okay, here I go.  The following is written with no first hand knowledge, just what I have thought as I read about Khloe and see her social media postings.

My heart goes out to her.  She is different in a family of same.  I think there may possibly be some truth that Robert was not her father.  Again, no facts, just my thoughts.  So from the very beginning she may have felt "other" and different.  I think she did.  And her differences were not the beauty ideals of our culture.  She was large, at least larger than her sisters, (certainly not larger that the majority of women in this country) and her features were not the ones of the culturally normative definition of "pretty."

She filters a great many of her social media pictures, I think she likes that version of herself.  I'll go further and say that she wishes she looked like that in real life.

Affirmations?  Ludicrous.  If 90% of your life is spent trying with every available artifice to look a certain accepted way, words will be meaningless to your daughter.  She will see immediately what the true focus of your definition of beauty is.  And I'm really not judging.  It is near impossible in this culture to escape the knowledge that you are less if you are not beautiful in the acceptable way.

Not to mention that your family's focus and businesses center around women dressing, making themselves (and heavily I might add) up, even surgically altering their bodies to look that certain accepted way that is defined as beautiful.

And I think that Khloe, from early on, has felt that she cannot attain that look, no matter how much artificiality is involved.  Hence my thoughts on why she uses filters.  They help her to feel that she can look like that.

It is not harmless to make looks the center of your self worth.  And is hard, so hard, not to in this society that over values appearance and undervalues the beauty of compassion, understanding , kindness, viewing others with caring rather than judgement.

So my heart goes out to Khloe.  I do believe that she would like to think herself someone who is deeper, finer, more loving and above the fray of appearance.  To me, the social media filters, the surgeries, the sexualized photos say otherwise.

Again, all this is my opinion only, based on my thoughts alone.

Very insightful and well written. I do think that putting her daughter in front of a mirror EVERYDAY and spouting pithy “affirmations” isn’t going to make her feel secure, IMO it will make her even more conscious of her appearance . Additionally Khloe’s obsession with her own image, the selfie filters, the layers of makeup and constant preening and checking her reflection in the mirror will all have more of an impact than the daily affirmations.

There is something in all of the Kardashian Jenner women, not just Khloe, that caused them to be dissatisfied with their own appearance and put them on an endless quest to look perfect.

Eh, Khloe has always had the height that her short, dumpy sisters could never have. She has never given herself enough credit.

I was gonna say, Khloe was never bad looking, she just spent her entire life in an environment of competition. If she grew up in a regular family where Mom wasn't playing favorites and prioritized values other than beauty, she wouldn't have all these lingering insecurities.
