HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Kim Kardashian is baring it all.
The 29-year-old reality star posed nude for the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar as part of the magazine’s effort to promote natural beauty. Both Kardashian and model Joy Bryant appear naked in the unretouched photo spread.
"I think the message is embrace your curves and who you are," Kardashian tells the magazine. "I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, ‘I’m curvy and I’m proud of it now.’ "
She may be embracing her curves now, but Kardashian admits that wasn’t always the case.
"I was wearing a C cup by the time I was 11," she explains. "I would go to bed and pray, ‘Please, Lord, don’t let my boobs grow any bigger.’ I hated what was happening."
As for another famous asset of hers, Kardashian says she doesn’t understand all the commotion.
"I don’t get why everyone is always going on about my butt," she says. "I’m Armenian. It’s normal. My butt is probably not as big as you might think, because I have small legs and a small waist, which makes it appear bigger."
