Harpers Bazaar recently published a piece featuring Highbrid Nation smashables, Kim Kardashian and actress Joy Bryant (artistically) photographed nude allegedly without the aid of Photoshop or retouch techniques.  While the magazine positioned the piece as part of an interview to get what these two feel about their bodies, the imagery was clearly intended to draw eyes and we gladly took the bait.

While I doubt there will be much surprise what the Nation thinks, less lets see what feel about their bodies.

Kim Kardashian

“I don’t get why everyone is always going on about my butt. I’m Armenian. It’s normal,” says Kim Kardashian. “My butt is probably not as big as you might think, because I have small legs and a small waist, which makes it appear bigger.”

“I was wearing a C cup by the time I was 11,”  Kim said speaking about her early developing curves. “Please, Lord, don’t let my boobs grow any bigger. I hated what was happening.”

“I might have a little bit of cellulite I might not be toned everywhere,” Kim says of accepting her body.  “I might struggle in this area or that. But accepting that just empowers me,”

Joy Bryant

“It was not cool to be so skinny.” Joy said about growing up skinny in the South Bronx.  “My ‘best friend’ would tell me I looked like a boy. I wore my cousin’s hand-me-downs – who was a boy.”

Speaking about how here classmates at her prestigious Connecticut boarding school helped her gain confidence Bryants said, “these girls were telling me my body was amazing, which made me feel okay. Some of them had eating disorders because of pressure from their own mothers to be thin.”

Like Kim, Joy says she’s “so secure in who I am. I don’t let things bother me.  There are times when we’re at our weakest. But maybe it’s not your body. It’s your mind playing tricks.”

While this is clearly a ploy by the magazine to get readers to perk up and pay attention, its working.
