Peter Kramer/NBC(NEW YORK) — Kim Kardashian loves taking selfies so much, she’s even publish Selfish, a book of her best snaps. As for criticism that it’s just more evidence of her own self-obsession, Kardashian says it’s not so.
“I live my life on a reality show. But sometimes people take it very seriously, or they think it’s ridiculous,” Kardashian tells Adweek. “I’m kind of letting them know, yes, it is ridiculous, but it’s all fun. I can look at a photo on social media and see a picture and know exactly where I was by the outfit I had on or who I was with. I take it more as a fun, emotional scrapbook that I love to look back on.”
“[I took] my first selfie in 1984 and that opens up the book,” Kardashian explains. “For a decade, I’ve carried a big digital camera, and I think it’s just fascinating to see the process of what types of photos evolve. Mine started off on digital cameras, then they went to a BlackBerry and then a smartphone. There’s just such an evolution of the selfie. And I captured that, I think, really well.”
The reality star said ultimately, it’s all in good fun.
“You have to have a sense of humor every once in a while,” she said. “So many people think that taking so many selfies is just ridiculous. For me, what’s so funny is I love taking pictures and posting them on social media for memories. I genuinely love the glam of life and hair and makeup and all of that, so I love just sharing my life with people — that’s who I’ve been.”
Selfish hits shelves May 5.
