Is Kim Kardashian a Simulacrum? Kanye West's Galatea?

Is She Real?

This is worth reading as  you are looking at a modern Pygmalion story. Kanye told her she must change her look and since "I really trust him. He was right." Here is the link to Pygmalion if you don't know the myth where the great sculptor announced he was through with women and began to make the most beautiful woman in the world out of Ivory. ( Oh all those elephants dead.)He falls in love with his creation, Venus breathes life into her, they marry and have a child.  KK is really a walking talking Simulacrum. A copy of a copy with no original. She is beautiful and the Vogue photo shoot is wonderful. But is she REAL? She says she is planning to take the bar and become a criminal lawyer to help those of her race who are overlooked and sentenced unfairly. We will see I guess. 

So Kanye "sculpted Kardashian's Look and you see it now above.

Those of her race? Which one. She thinks Black but is she Black? 


In case you don't know Fanon, he was a Black psychoanalyst from Martinique who wrote a number of books you should read for your own knowledge.

And here's Pygmalion with his very own Simulacrum Galatea.

Interesting how mythology plays out in real life eh?
