With her ample behind, Kim Kardashian is probably the least likely model to portray a Barbie doll.  Kurv magazine put her up to it, however, and so we get this photoshoot from their latest issue.

Which doesn’t look like Barbie at all to me.  And I guess this was the intent, according to photographer Tony Duran.

“The idea behind the shoot was to capture the different characters of Barbie—western Barbie, Safari Barbie, etc. But I wanted the shoot to look like a timeless fashion shoot as opposed to a caricature -so for the most part we kept the clothing all in blacks and deep greys-very monochromatic. Kim’s hourglass figure was the basis of the story and different interpretations of her blonde hair showcased the character. We tended to go extreme with the hair to give it a bit of a push editorially, but keeping the classic side of the shoot shining through. We went with vintage pieces to authentically represent each character fashion wise…”

Yeah, either this is just a little too much artsy talk, or I’m just too dense or too literal to get it.   Hourglass figure… Barbie… no, does not compute.   Aside from the blonde hair, that is.   Which she’s already done with, by the way.

Kim sure has been trying on a lot of different looks lately.  When did she become the model du jour?  By the way, this shoot was styled by Andy Salmen.  What?  Kim did a shoot without Troy Jensen?   She’s going to break his heart!
