Kim Kardashian is Pregnant - And??

Come on, we’ve all talked about her, especially during her pregnancy. But why are we all so obsessed with her body and (often poor) fashion choices while pregnant? I believe there are two sides to it. First, the media’s obsession with her pregnant body and second, how she is dressing herself (I believe as an indirect response to it). 

I think it’s fascinating how much flack the paparazzi is giving her about her weight gain. She’s preggers people! And she’s short and curvy already, so yes, she is going to look like she’s much heavier than the average women. Hell, my mom put on 80 pounds with me! There are certain body types that just put on weight much easier and gain it all over. She just happens to be one of those. So what’s the big deal? Is the expectation that because she’s a celebrity she’s supposed to be skinny all over? Or is it just an excuse to hate her?

If I were in her position, I would have the biggest complex about my body. Which leads me to my second point. Maybe that’s why she is still trying to dress in tight-fitting clothes that she would have normally worn when she wasn’t pregnant (i.e. a tight leather skirt). I do feel for the girl, really I do. Regardless of who she is and who she’s dating, it’s difficult to live your life on such a public stage and be judged constantly. I can’t say I agree with her fashion choices; I think she needs to embrace her new body and basically give the middle finger to people who are calling her ‘fat’. But by either trying to hide yourself completely in a curtain-patterned dress or act as if you aren’t even pregnant with a belt tied tightly around your mid-section, you are showing how insecure you really are about your pregnancy body. And there’s nothing to be ashamed of! This is a time in a woman’s life where she should be able to feel free of judgment but unfortunately, the public can’t seem to get enough of the drama and shit-talking. It’s a shame; let her be happy.
