Kim Kardashian goes unretouched in Life & Style


I'll give Kim Kardashian all the credit in the world -- she may have gotten her fame from getting railed by Ray J on a homemade porn, but she's never been embarrassed of her body or the bad parts of it. So when the retouched vs unretouched versions of her pic in Complex came out a couple weeks ago, she wanted to set the record straight. She sat down with Life & Style for an interview, but also made sure her photos were completely unretouched.

On Why She Did the 'Unretouched' Shoot: "I love my body the way it is. I'm not perfect. I have cellulite, so what ... I chose to do the shoot because I am so sick of people giving me a hard time for those photos that came out in Complex. I wanted to say, 'This is me, take it or leave it.'"

On Why Her Weight Makes Headlines: "I really don't know. If there's a picture that's not perfect, where I have cellulite, then people say I'm big. I'm built a certain way, and you just can't change the way you're built. People attack my true size, but the reality is that I look bigger on TV. In Hollywood, people are used to stick-skinny women, and that's never going to be me. Growing up, I'd look at skinny models and feel like I looked different. But my parents always told us to be proud of who we are. When I was younger I was uncomfortable, but as I grew up, I grew into it."

Her Measurements: "I'm 35-26-40. My dress size is a 4 or a 2/4. I wear a size 4 skirt and size 27 jeans."

On Her Infamous Behind: "On the red carpet, the paparazzi scream for me to turn around because they just want butt shots. People feel so free to talk about my butt, and it's not comfortable. Girls come up to me and grab my butt, or if I'm doing a TV interview, people ask on camera to squeeze my butt. It's uncomfortable. I'm like, 'Let's move on.'"
