“I was so honored and excited to work with [photographer Jean-Paul Goude] because he is a legend, and for me that was something I wanted to do to make myself feel confident,” she said. “As a role model I’m not saying anyone else should do that, but for me it was an art project and it taught me to do what you want to do. I’m never one to preach, but I felt really positive and really good about myself. I love the photos, I did it for me, I hope other people like them.”
In the interview, Kim also revealed that she balanced that champagne glass on her booty herself — no Photoshop needed. But that’s not to say she didn’t pay for her acrobatic efforts. “My back hurt for about a week after that shoot…I used muscles..[Goude] has an art of posing you and it was definitely not comfortable.”
It seems her efforts paid off!
