Poor choice.

Listen, I’m not going to hate on Khloe Kardashian, or any member of the Kardashian clan. Not only is it too easy, but… well, basically, it’s just too easy to hate on people for being opportunists.

Khloe has especially struggled, because she is, like myself and a couple of my good female friends, taller than a lot of ladies out there. And because she’s taller, she’s just a larger human being. Her weight can go up, her weight can go down, but no matter what, when you see her next to a woman who is 5’4″, she’s going to look like a giant. There’s nothing she can do about it.

So my point is, if you’re Khloe, and you’re asked to do a photo spread for a magazine, and you know your looks are already pretty edgy by nature of you not being tiny, why would you agree to do this?

And maybe I’m part of the problem, and maybe I need to accept women for wanting to be styled edgily even if they already look edgy, and I guess I’m old fashioned, but the older I get, the more I realize that I just want to look like I’m comfortably lovely- like I’m not torturing myself to fit into some random look that’s been imposed on me. A woman like Khloe needs long gorgeous waves, a figure-hugging dress, and good eye makeup. Jump for more of what YRB got wrong and right with Ms. Khloe.

See, this does not look appealing to me.

This, however, looks great. Edgy and sexy and gorgeous.

But then we follow it up with this?

I might get a lot of hate for these opinions, but I can’t help myself- it’s not that I can’t handle a larger woman being presented in such a context, or that I’m fatist, it’s just that, as a woman who is 5’11″ and often feels like an Amazon woman, I have realized that different looks work better on different women. And I feel like they put Khloe in these looks to further ostracize her, not to elevate her.

And plus, not even Megan Fox would look good in a motherfucking head cage.
