Kim Kardashian has
revealed her motive behind that Jean-Paul Goude photo shoot
celebratingthe shape and versatility of her famous bottom, and it
wasn't just about "breaking the internet".
The reality TV star, fashion icon and wife
of rapper Kanye West wanted to boost her confidence and celebrate her body after
childbirth, she told Channel Ten's The
Project on Tuesday night.
Kardashian, in Melbourne to launch a new
fragrance, spoke
on the show about the controversial photo shoot, motherhood and her family's
love of Australia.
"For me [the photo
shoot] was something I knew I wanted to do, to make myself feel confident ...
as a role model I'm not saying that anyone else should do that, but for me ...
this was something that was going to make me feel confident and feel
good," Kardashian said.
"It taught me to do what you want to do. Everyone should do
what they're comfortable with and ... I felt really positive and good about
myself."
Kardashian said that while she was
pregnant she had warned her family she was going to do a "nude shoot"
when she felt she had her pre-pregnancy body back, and when the opportunity
arose to work with Jean-Paul Goude, a French photographer long known as a
master of image manipulation, she jumped at the chance.
"When I did the shoot I was just so excited to work with this
photographer. My favourite image ever is this one of Naomi Campbell where she's
naked, upside down, with her long ponytail holding her up.
"I'm glad that I can now eat a little
bit because I was trying to really not eat so much that week."
Kardashian admitted to "things
falling all over the place" during the shoot and to having a very sore
back for about a week after the shoot, which included the precarious balancing
of a champagne glass on her rear - a shot she was only too happy to help Rove
McManus re-create (unsuccessfully) inside the Channel 10 studio.
Kardashian also said she loved Australia
because of its friendly people, amazing food, Tim Tams and zoos. She said she
had spoken to husband Kanye on Tuesday while he was at the Los Angeles Zoo with
their daughter and he had said he missed Australia and was jealous they weren't
here visiting the zoo.
When asked about whether she'd seen and
liked the memes going around imitating the Goude photoshoot, Kardashian said
she enjoyed them.
"I loved the Google [meme], something
with Krispy Kreme, you know you have to have a sense of humour about it."
