AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian opens up about her selfie addiction in an interview with Adweek magazine for its Mobile issue. Kim says, "So many people think that taking so many selfies is just ridiculous. For me, what's so funny is I love taking pictures and posting them on social media for memories. I genuinely love the glam of life and hair and makeup and all of that, so I love just sharing my life with people-that's who I've been."
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star continues, "I live my life on a reality show. But sometimes people take it very seriously, or they think it's ridiculous. I'm kind of letting them know, yes, it is ridiculous, but it's all fun. I can look at a photo on social media and see a picture and know exactly where I was by the outfit I had on or who I was with. I take it more as a fun, emotional scrapbook that I love to look back on."
When asked if she will continue being open to sharing on social media, Kim replies, "You never know. I love sharing my world with people, so I don't see me just having a freak-out and just stopping. Will I do it forever? I'm not sure. But I love the whole idea of it, especially because you get to share things your way. You get to tell your own story through your eyes."
Talking about her selfie book, Kim says, "[I took] my first selfie in 1984, and that opens up the book. For a decade, I've carried a big digital camera, and I think it's just fascinating to see the process of what types of photos evolve. Mine started off on digital cameras, then they went to a BlackBerry and then a smartphone. There's just such an evolution of the selfie. And I captured that, I think, really well."
Of her reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", Kanye West's wife hopes people "get out of it that we are a normal family." She explains, "They may not think we're normal, [but] we are a family like everyone else's that goes through so many different things and we're always there to support each other. We've been a really close family regardless, but the show has brought us closer together just by spending so much time together."
"I feel like people get that message," she adds, "There's always a family member that someone can relate to. Someone came up to me yesterday and was like, 'I have two sisters and we always do what you guys [do.]' "
Amidst rumors that the Kardashian family has signed a four-year deal to extend their contract with E!, Kim confirms that she and her family "still have a few more years" to do the show after the tenth season. "We always say when it gets to be really crazy and not fun anymore, we don't want to do it. And we haven't gotten there yet," she shares.
