A brief excerpt from her book 'Bossypants' feels especially relevant right now

In an apparent attempt to “break the Internet,” Kim Kardashian bared her booty on the cover of Papermagazine this week. (She also posed with a champagne glass resting on her butt, which was clearly the most impressive part of the photo shoot.)
This got a lot of people talking, gawking, reacting, declaring her butt an empty promise, etc. But it caused some to recall an excerpt from Tina Fey’s 2011 book Bossypants, in which she briefly ruminated on women’s body image. Of course, she ends with a line about Kim Kardashian:
“Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits,” Fey wrote. “The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.”
Yup, that about sums it up. So it’s time for us to move on. Shut it down.

SEE KIM KARDASHIAN'S MOST MEMORABLE MAGAZINE COVERS
From the #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple to the #worldsmosttalkedaboutbutt. Kim Kardashian already got national attention for being naked when a sex tape went public in 2007, but as the new cover of <i>Paper</i> magazine suggests, it's still her body — not her multi-million dollar iPhone game, not her TV show, not her marriage to Kanye West — that has the power to "break the Internet."
Kardashian called her first <i>Vogue</i> cover "a dream come true," while critics accused to magazine of chasing what was trendy rather than defining it. "As for the cover, my opinion is that it is both charming and touching, and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it," Anna Wintour said in its defense.
Before Kanye and Kim posed for <i>Vogue</i>, they posed on the cover of the French magazine <i>L'Officiel Hommes</i> in 2013. Is this just a strikingly suggestive pose or actual candid moment between now-spouses? Probably a little of both when it comes to this steamy photo shoot.
In 2012, Kardashian graced the cover of <i>V</i> magazine — shot by Nick Knight, who also shot her <i>L'Officiel Hommes</i> cover — and defended her reality show empire in the magazine's pages by comparing it to rap music. "When rap music first came out, people were like, 'We don't understand this, what is this, it's just a fad.' But rap music is definitely here to stay, and I think reality shows have proven they are as well."
