Christina Lee on Kim Kardashian Coloring Book:

I’m fascinated by Kim Kardashian because she’s a polarizing figure. You’re not really sure why she’s famous, but you could name at least ten different reasons. She has a profitable video game, stars in a reality show, has two famous fathers, is married to Kanye, has zillions of followers on Instagram, has had the two most public pregnancies, and the list goes on. I’m personally very interested in her somewhat complicated relationship with feminism, and I’m a huge fan of her personal style. Sort of crossing my fingers for her to be the first lady of the United States in 2020. Also, I just found out that I have the same birthday as her.

I made the coloring book because I was inspired by flipping through a friend’s copy of Selfish, Kim Kardashian’s selfie book. I thought it would be a fun idea if I transformed her selfies into a coloring book. Coloring books have been proven to be therapeutic. Considering it’s been a rough couple of weeks, I’d recommend you kick back with your fuzziest slippers and color Kim Kardashian’s face. (Also, Hillary Clinton makes a cameo.)
