Kim K: ‘THERE IS A POWER IN SAYING ‘NO!''

SHE’S made some mistakes, but Kim Kardashian has finally learned how to hold everything down – and shes not just talking underwear.
Kim K: ‘THERE IS A POWER IN SAYING ‘NO!''

WHILE the 39-year-old reality star is indeed revolutionising undies for the body-conscious as part of her latest business venture, she’s also figured out how to smooth things over when it comes to her private life too.

Kim reveals today how she is ready to turn down a gift or a role or a lucrative business opportunity if it doesn’t fit in with her life with husband Kanye West and their four children, North, six, Saint, four, Chicago, who will be two in January, and sixmonth-old Psalm.

That doesn’t mean it’s any easier to keep up with the most famous Kardashian of them all – far from it. As well as her ongoing commitment to reality TV, Kim is the mastermind of her own lucrative lines in fashion, cosmetics and jewellery. There’s also her charity work and a social media presence worth millions.

Kim’s latest venture started from a run of rather sticky and painful experiences on the red carpet. Fed up of holding things down and smoothing things over with a variety of tape, the Californian superstar looked into producing a line of shapewear that worked for those who don’t conform with the ideal A-list body shape. So Spanx is out and SKIMS is the new buzzword in figure-hugging, holding and smoothing underwear.

Kim says she has worked years to perfect the range, which is available to buy now online and is aimed at women of all shapes and colours. Here Kim talks going undie-cover for her latest venture and how family comes first for her now she has finally learned how to say ‘no’.
