“Break the Internet,” indeed. Kim Kardashian’s “Paper” magazine cover shoot debuted yesterday, and it’s already the talk of the town (and inter webs) due to her various nude shots.
In photos taken by Jean-Paul Goude, Kardashian poses mooning the camera (as the image above teases), and then goes balls (or boobs) to the wall and poses full frontal holding up her dress around her knees. This is the first time Kardashian has shown so much in a more artsy magazine.
Let’s take a look at how Kardashian’s nude magazine appearances in 2014 compare to the “W” magazine ones in 2010. (In terms of nude posing in magazines, we’re not counting “Playboy” because that would skew the sample.)
“W” Magazine, 2010:
Number of Cover Shots: 2
Number of Total Shots: 10
Number of Shots Sans Clothes: 10
Bare Butt: 2* (*one more prominent)
Bare Boobs: 2* (*shots where nipple is visible)
Full Frontal: 1* (*everything bare from the navel up)
(Technically, both cover shots are full-frontal, but text bars obscure the good stuff.)
“Paper” Magazine, 2014:
Number of Cover Shots: 1
Number of Total Shots: 4
Number of Shots Sans Clothes: 3
Bare Butt: 2
Bare Boobs: 2
Full Frontal: 1
