‘Get Ready’: Kim Kardashian West Teases First Nude Selfie Since Delivering Saint

“I’m really private,” joked Kim Kardashian West as she sat down in front of a room full of females at the Los Angeles BlogHer 2016 convention. During the 30-minute keynote Q&A that followed, she answered all sorts of questions surrounding her unconventional career, body image, and nude selfie obsession. And per usual, the 35-year-old publicity queen did not hold back. Here are a few of the highlights:

Kim always wanted to be a reality TV star

“When I was about 13-years-old, I looked at my best friend and The Real World had just come out. I said to her, “That’s what I want to do. I want to be on a reality show.” I said, “Let’s both audition. Let’s make a tape when we’re 18, we’ll send it in to the producers.” She was like, “You can do it. I’ll be your manager and I’ll make a tape for you.” It’s a full circle moment because she’s a manager now and my show is produced by the people that did The Real World.

She looks up to other female celebs as mentors

In business, I love looking at my peers and seeing young successful women like Jessica Alba. I spoke to her this morning. We were just picking each other’s brains on something. I love her dedication and she has always been someone that I have looked up to business wise. I like to surround myself with people that I can always call for advice.

Her favorite Kimoji

I just made it my Twitter profile picture, my cry face. I have the ugliest cry face ever. Kylie has a pretty funny face when she’s rolling her eyes; it’s not really flattering. So she let me put that in there. I have some pretty unflattering ones coming up soon of my family members that they don’t know about.

What she thinks about people underestimating her talents

I think the easiest question to ask is, “What does she do? What is your talent?” I jokingly said to my husband the other day, “My answer should be: I don’t sing. I don’t dance but I’m still doing what I’m doing. How easy is my job? I don’t have to do any of that. I don’t have to be on stage like you working so hard. But we’re still driving the same car. We’re still living the same life.” For anyone to assume that it’s not a full-time job to sit and create things and come up with every single blog post — and I’m doing 3 a day, working on apps — to me, it would be the same thing as people saying to a blogger, “You’re sitting at home in your apartment and you are just on your computer?” This is hard work. I respect it so much. Even filming a reality show, it’s a full-time job. I know that reality shows don’t get the respect that I believe they deserve and that’s why I love being on one for so long. My personality is just, “you underestimate me, I would love to have a conversation with you.” I just like to prove people wrong.

What she says to the haters

I used to care about the comments. I would go out at night, I would come home, and I’d look on the computer and see what they were saying. I think as you get older, you just mature. I have such a great relationship, like me and my husband that I feel so confident all the time. And I think that does help, at least that helps me. He gives me that extra push. I have my family, I have my kids, I don’t need to sit at home and I don’t have the extra time to really look at comments. I know that the hate’s out there. When I post something, whether it’s a nude selfie or something, I don’t post it trying to get a reaction. I post it because I like the photo. I do love that Instagram just added that feature that you can type in words that you want to not see in your comments. I thought of this idea like years ago and I’m really happy that they implemented it. I wonder what words I’m gonna put in there.

What percentage of her life she actually shares with fans

I would probably say 85%. I’m really protective of my life with my kids. You might see them on the show a little bit but not real stories about them. I’ve SnapChatted a few things. It’s funny because in this world if you don’t share something, you didn’t post it, it’s like it didn’t exist. I was not posting about my son because I wanted him to be able to go to the park every single day like a normal human being. He’s 8-months-old now but people literally thought he didn’t exist. They thought I had a full fake baby and I made this whole thing up. He didn’t exist because I wasn’t posting about him. To me that is so ridiculous. My husband is on our show sometimes but we do have a really private relationship. He’s very private even though he’s in the business and I’m very open. So he’s really taught me how to become a little bit more private and I taught how to be a little bit more open and it really works for us. I definitely say that part of my home life and life with my kids I try to hold onto.

Why she won’t stop posting nude selfies anytime soon

Because I feel good about myself! I lost 70lbs! So when you dedicate yourself – waking up at 6 in the morning, feeding one baby, running to go workout for an hour, coming back, feeding another baby, my husband, and then coming back and having to feed her… I have three people that I have to take care of. You can just get so caught up in not wanting to be motivated so I made it a really important thing for my confidence and for me to feel good. So…have I posted a nude selfie since I lost all my baby weight? I don’t think so. Get ready!

Her typical day on the job

What I work on, on a full-time job basis, is filming Keeping up with the Kardashians. And then all of my apps. I have an app called Kimoj, which is Kim emojis. And that for me is a full-time job. And then a lifestyle app that takes up half of my day, every full day, because I do fashion inspired posts, written blogs on matters that are important to me, or sharing a lot of my behind the scenes world. I am very detail oriented so I do everything from writing it to editing it.

Her secret Twitter inner fan circle

I love my connection with my fans. I love their opinion. I Direct Message all the time a hand full of girls that I genuinely respect their opinions and I say, “Okay what do you think of this Kimoji? This one or this one?“ And they give me their advice. I genuinely love getting to know them. I don’t follow too many people because I really love the connection so when I follow someone, I love to know where they live, what’s their story, who’s in their family?

When North will be allowed to join social media

I think they’ll have to ask me and we’ll have a conversation about it. I do feel like I went through that experience a little bit when Kendall and Kylie were growing up and there was no social media and then it happened. They wanted Facebook accounts. And we all had to know their password and spy on them and do all of that for my mom. Now there’s so much more out there. I’ll be overprotective to an extent, creeping on their accounts all the time. But to look at the positive, I feel like I know Kendall and Kylie so much more from watching their SnapChats and I feel like I know their every move, what they’re doing. And I also have heard stories of friends with kids that are early teenagers, like they totally catch their kids lying to them and they will show up where they’re at because they see it on SnapChat. So in a way I’ll look at the positives. I can really track her every move!

She does not consider herself a feminist

Everyone always says, "Are you a feminist? Then why would you do this or this?” And I don’t think that I am. I don’t like labels. I just do what makes me happy and I want women to be confident and I’m so supportive of women. Just be you. That’s my thing, just be happy, spread love. No hate, no need for it. I don’t like to push my views on other people.

Having kids has made her paranoid

I am just terrified of everything. Every last thing completely freaks me out. I’m one of these super paranoid moms that have these crazy thoughts of “you know you only drive on one side of the road because I’m afraid a car would flip on this. I’m too close to the center.” I mean literally, the things you think of as a mom! My anxiety, I’ve never had it, but there’s something when you have two kids… So yes, I’ve definitely become more aware. I definitely have spoken out more as far as gun control. I just want to be super-protective of my kids so I have that need.
