Kim Kardashian really knows how to get your attention-and apparently all it takes is a magazine cover. Directly below is the first cover. But we all know you want to just keep scrolling to see the photo that has everyone talking. So I’ll shut up for a second and let you take it all in.
So, if you ever stop staring at that photo, here are the details … ahem … behind it. This is from Paper magazine’s winter 2014 issue. The first version of the cover features Kanye West’s better half recreating the iconic “champagne incident” image by Jean-Paul Goude.
As for the alternative cover, that concept was a little more straightforward. Photograph Kim Kardashian’s most famous asset and let the Internet take care of the rest. It seemed to work.
Here’s the magazine’s official statement on the covers: “For our winter issue, we gave ourselves one assignment: Break The Internet,” wrote Paper. “There is no other person that we can think of who is up to the task than one Kim Kardashian West. A pop culture fascination able to generate headlines just by leaving her house, Kim is what makes the Web tick.”
The issue will hit stands Thursday and is priced at $10.
Now I’ll let you get back to staring.
