It would not be a holiday weekend without some kind of stunt pulled by the famous (some say infamous) Kardashian family. Such was this weekend with the Kim Kardashian Mert & Marcus Photo. Kim Kardashian is an American reality television personality, actress, socialite, businesswoman and model. Kardashian first gained media attention as a friend and stylist of Paris Hilton. Kim Kardashian gained widespread fame when a sex tape featuring her was released in 2003 and cast her into the public eye. A few years later her family was featured in the hit realty show Keeping Up with the Kardashians which is now in its 12th season. While Kim Kardashian is a controversial figure few can disagree with the fact that she is able to pull in an audience and attract attention to herself and her family. Kim’s twitter account has over 47.7 million followers and her Instagram over 81.7 million fans.
On Labor Day Kim Kardashian released a snapshot of her in an upcoming photo shoot with the photographers Mert & Marcus (Mert Alaş and Marcus Piggott) The photographic artists are known for their portraits of sophisticated, powerful women. They have said “The difference between us and other photographers is that we care a lot about appearance,” they continued with “We spend most of the time in the make-up and hairstyling rooms”. The Kim Kardashian Mert & Marcus photo has been very popular.
The photo scandalously features the wife of Kanye West stretched out in a metallic silver one-piece swim-suit. It seems obvious that Kim Kardashian took advantage of the holiday weekend to gain maximum exposer for the teaser to the photo shoot. It seems to have worked as The Kim Kardashian Mert & Marcus photo has been liked 970 thousand times on Instagram with almost 12 thousand comments.
It is unknown at this time what Kim Kardashians step mother Caitlin Jenner (formerly step father Bruce Jenner) thinks of this latest publicity stunt pulled by the famous family.
