Kardashian nostaligia from X17.

X17 Throwback Thursday - The Kardashian Clan Pre-EVERYTHING!

Published on Sep 3, 2015

"We unearthed this archive of the Kardashian-Jenner clan pre-EVERYTHING! Pre-teen Jenners! Oh, how things change!

"Remember when Kim was on Dancing With the Stars? During her stint in 2008 on Season 7 of the popular show, Kim Kardashian went shopping on Robertson Blvd with her publicity support team, and they definitely did a good job promoting! Sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, mom Kris Jenner and little sisters Kendall (wearing braces) and Kylie Jenner all sported "Vote For Kim" t-shirts, and even Kim herself donned a "Team Kardashian" shirt. Unfortunately the reality star did not live up to the hype, getting eliminated with partner Mark Ballas on the third night of competition."

***

Actually I didn't remember Kim was ever on DWTS. I'll have to look that up on YouTube.

It's striking to see the difference in the Kards since 2008. Neither Kim nor Khloe had giant butts. You can see more of their natural facial features, before they had more surgery and fillers. Kendall and Kylie were just cute young girls then. Kourtney is the only one who doesn't seem to have done much to herself (i.e., plastic surgery) since then.

What I noticed most (after the lack of massive butts) was how beautiful their hair was then. Their hair looked natural: sleek, swingy, healthy, and radiant in the sunshine. They all had "good hair," meaning a lot of natural volume and shine. Today it looks like they all wear wigs or extensions, and some, like Khloe, are processing their hair to lighter colors, making their hair look stiff, coarse and dull. They would look much better if they went back to their natural hair.

I didn't know Kim was on DWTS. When she got paid to be the date of that old guy at the Vienna Ball, she refused to dance because she said she didn't dance. What was she doing on DWTS?

 

Kim & Khloe actually had good bodies back then, compared to what they look like now, they've turned themselves into circus freaks.

 

Their hair looks all stiff now because they have it styled every day so that it won't move. It's just so sad what they have done to themselves.

Here is Kim doing the mambo with Mark Ballas on DWTS. The performance starts around 0:53. The first part of the video is their preparation in the practice studio. Look how much she smiles and laughs! She looked so much happier then than she does now.

She wasn't a talented dancer, but she was graceful, and she learned the steps. She could have danced with the old guy in Vienna if she'd wanted to. I think she was just "phoning it in" in Vienna. She made a deal, so she was just going to show up, stand next to him, have her picture made, and cash her check.

Not many celebs go on DWTS for dance ability but rather publicity. I do remember when Kim was on DWTS. She was pretty bad but she looked gorgeous. When Rob was on there was a lot of joking about whether or not he would outlast her even though she didn't stick around long. Rob ended up being MUCH better and made it all the way to 3rd.

Wow, Kim was gorgeous, likeable and happy back then. I'll give her credit, because dancing is hard and at least she made an honest effort. It's sad that she's married and has kids but seems completely miserable. She can barely fake enthusiasm for staged photo ops with North. I wonder what happened from then to now to make her that way.

Not that she hadn't already lowered herself a whole bunch by that point in her life with the pornie sex tape, and also the toxic influence of her horrible mother on every area of her life, but I agree. That version of Kim had a human looking ass, a sincere looking smile on her face and something that almost passed for real charm. And I know it's a dance costume, but she was wearing colors!  (actually her workout/practice gear was at least half colors too--only the pants/bottoms were consistently black, and that's fine--crazy colors on workout bottoms looks stupid).

Yes, I think she did have some charm then. I never watched KUWTK, and I only started paying attention to Kim when she got so outrageous that the tabloids started covering her nonstop. She and the rest of the family are in my face all the time when I read the entertainment news headlines. (Or maybe Kris started paying the tabs more money for more coverage.) Now that I see Kim from a few years back, it gives me some understanding of why she became so popular in the first place. Her popularity wasn't all due to the the sex tape. She had a personality in those days. Today she just seems cold, distant and conceited.

I can't tell whether Kim changed so much on her own or whether Kris orchestrated it, with her insatiable desire for more million$. Kim is in her 30s now and she should be able to decide what kind of life she wants, not let her mother keep planning it all for her. But I do think Kris is the force behind most of the crap Kylie has been doing lately.

Her mother.

A few years ago, my mom who still thinks Celine Dion is the number one singer of the year, asked me who that "pretty woman" was on Yahoo's front page.

The other day she came over and told me Kim K is smuggling goods in her ass.

But she's an adult and I respect that she's made her choices to how she looks. Kylie though! She was ADORABLE and full of life back then. You can still see it sometimes, there's a photo of her presenting with Ne-Yo at the VMAs where her lips look thinner because she's smiling and her eyes are lit up. Then the next shot is once again her pouting and looking dead.

Saw a few old episodes over the weekend. Interesting how less grand their family home was (and all the Olympic memorabilia that was displayed) how modest Kim/Kourtney and Khloe's condos were.

 

Of course Kim telling Rob that she uses the pink, orange and green FLAVORED candles, but he can use the other flavors, was pretty snark worthy.

 And Kim trying to act so broken up over Reggie dumping her, she really cannot act.

 

Kris in tears over Rob's oversized tattoo, but oohing and aahing over Kim's enormous ass and her stripping down in Playboy. SOOO Classy.

 

And  Caitlyn was so much more animated that she was in the later years, happy and joking with the kids, she looked much healthier and somewhat heavier.

I wonder if there will be a Christmas card this year. They skipped last year, I think, the year before was the bizarre trash filled futuristic subway station, that left the males out. So, who's in, who's out this year? I think this year will be another with Mason and maybe Kanye as the only males. I am actually sort of looking forward to whatever f*ckery they think is art. How can they top the trash filled subway station?

Kayne can have them all pose in their underwear on a pile of dirt, like this photoshoot he "styled" for Kim.

If they do a Christmas card photo this year..hmm this is too juicy! Will Caitlyn be in it? What about Robert Junior? How about Kylie's future ex husband Tyga? Will all 3 of Kourtneys kid's be in or out this year? What about Kris's new young stud Corey? Will Khloe's new baller boyfriend James be in? ETA WHAT ABOUT SCOTT?! LOL Curious minds want to know!

French? Lamar? Kris H? Kris's ex Todd?   Maybe they can all appear as "Ghosts of Christmas Past"

See? The possibilities are endless! I'm going to predict a zombie theme, and any males who actually make it into the photo will appear to be dismembered. If they do a Christmas card, we have the ass and other figure photo shopping to look forward to. Kris, Kim and Kanye in the center of the card, but then who is next to them and who gets marginalized this year? I hope they don't disappoint! And lingerie clad, on a dirt hill is not entirely out of the realm of possibility, although it should be. They will probably do something worse than we can even imagine.

 Kardashian Sisters Gave a Tech Talk at the Soho Apple Store

kardashians-apple-store-soho.jpg

 

And this is what we learned there.
BY JOSH DUBOFF

It is uncanny how much the Kardashian sisters look, in person, like they look on television and on your phone. The sensation of seeing them in the flesh is a little more “Oh, there they are,” than “Oh, there they are.” It’s like seeing a high-definition iteration of your Instagram feed.

 

Seated one next to the other—all five of them—as they were at the Apple Store in Soho this afternoon to discuss their new apps, the sisters also came off as remarkably, to a surprising degree, different from one another. Kendall, who was wearing a striped sports jacket and black pants, looked sleek and almost androgynous (the model was also the only one who wasn’t billed as a “television personality”).

 

Kylie—perhaps playing into her role as “youngest sister”—was, in opposition to her brash Snapchat persona, quiet and reticent (she demurred “I don’t know” when asked what her favorite non-Kardashian-related app is).

 

Kourtney—whose app, semi-mysteriously, is the only one that hasn’t been released yet—seemed aloof, and a bit bored, as if she were daydreaming about wallpapers for her third kitchen, or whatever.

 

Khloe was the gregarious and chatty one, waving and mouthing “I love you” to various fans in the audience throughout the panel.

 

And Kim was the de facto leader of the tribe, marked by a serious demeanor and steadiness. (Whenever the sisters weren’t sure of how to respond to a question—such as when asked if Kris Jenner would have an app of her own one day—everyone looked to Kim.)

 

Of course, even though I just spent an entire paragraph marking off their differences, what is intrinsic to their appeal is that they really seem to like and appreciate each other. They are very much sisters. They talked over each other at all times (there were barely any finished sentences due to all the interruptions). One would whisper in another’s ear while a different sister was talking, eliciting furtive smirks and coy head-nods.

 

They looked, at various times, bored, embarrassed, amused, and frustrated with each other. When Kylie said she had asked Kim a question about “lighting” in developing her app, Kendall rolled her eyes and interjected, “Lighting?” When one of the audience members prefaced his question by exclaiming his love for Kim (“You’re my favorite person!”), the other four smiled and looked toward their pregnant sister with pride that seemed quite genuine.

 

They did not seem particularly bothered by the absurd amount of attention on them, by the phones foisted in the air, or the shrieks, or the semi-incoherent gushing-disguised-as-question-asking done by audience members. They weren’t selling the apps (which cost $2.99/month) particularly emphatically either, bickering about color schemes (Kendall said she was happy hers was the only one with a white aesthetic) and pondering future features (Kim said she will consider adding a selfie-taking tutorial) instead.

 

At one point, Kendall asked someone in the audience what the name of his dog was.

 

Yes, we were in a somewhat stilted setting, gazing up at them from our college-lecture-style seating, and yes, they each have tens of millions of Instagram followers to their name, but it was oddly possible, as we watched them zone out and pick at their clothes and fumble with their phones, to imagine we were in their living room, waiting for our takeout salads to arrive, sharing sympathetic looks while one of them vented about a stressful email or a weird text from a guy, or something, while we each, the rest of us, waited for our turn to share.

Why would someone pay for an app in this day and age, when "exclusive content" can just be uploaded to the internet within seconds?

I thought these so called apps were games. The basic app is probably free and some subset of suckers, errr... players... pay for extra items inside the game (usually to make winning in them easier). At least that's how it works with a lot of stuff these days.

Their new apps aren't games. According to this article: "Each app will focus on the corresponding sister's expertise: Kim's will feature fashion, beauty tutorials, and selfies; Kourtney's will hone in on motherhood; Khloe's app will follow her fitness progression; Kendall's program will feature her global adventures as a model; and Kylie's app will spotlight makeup, her new home, and her dog, Normie Jenner. 'Yes, we are sisters,' Kim told the packed crowd. 'But our passions are very much individual.' "

Barf! Their "expertise" is how to tell lies and manipulate the media.

They forgot to mention Kris' app, which will have tutorials on how to turn your talentless children into multi millionaires using sex tapes, plastic surgery, & Instagram.

I thought Kylie had two little Italian greyhounds? Did another pet bite the dust?

The apps are free, but cost $3.00 a month to access them because

 

“We want to hear from fans, but we want to start changing the way of social media and have it be from all positives,” Khloé said at the event.

In other words, they're tired of people calling them out for their worthlessness, & figure if you have to pay, you'll only say nice things.

 

Interesting that Kylie is not only the most popular Kardashian/Jenner, she's got the most popular app of all the free (technically free) apps, Khloe is next at 13, & Kim is all the way down at 35. That must be killing her. I wonder why Kourtney's app isn't coming out until later this year?

Did you see the breakdown of the numbers though? 74% of the sign ups went to Kylie and only 9% went to Kim. You know she has to be flipping dying right now. No matter how many leather miniskirts and retro t-shirts she stuffs herself into, she's no longer the hot commodity.

I honestly don't think Kourtney gives a shit. She's doing the bare minimum to keep cashing those cheques.

Shit I would, her focus is the clothing store(s?) Are they still in operation? Maybe the LA one is, anyways she's got 3 kids and that's where her focus is. She seem's the most mellow, changed, "grown-up" "normal" besides Kendall and Khloe.

  • Love 1

Oh dear God.  The pics of Kanye's um, "much anticipated" new line are all over Twitter.  I think North's expression sums it up. Poor child had to look at this garbage in the front row. Imagine the faces she'll make when she's old enough to realize her father designed the stuff?

hah! Check out the photobomb just slightly to the above right of Anna Wintour's head -- between her head and the black leather jacket. 

 

Someone is in on the joke that is this "fashion" line.
