Kim Kardashian says she's had an 'awakening' about dressing 'too sexy' because of Kanye's influence
Christian Today ^ | 11/27/2019 | Stephanie Velez

Kanye West recently aired his views about his wife Kim Kardashian's skin tight Met Gala dress and although she rebuffed him at the time, it seems like she's given it some thought and is coming round to his way of seeing things. The reality TV star told The Cut that she's had an "awakening" about her clothes choices and nudity in general. In addition to her husband's opinion of what she wears, it seems raising four young children is also giving her some food for thought.

It goes even further than that too, as she even owned up to being partly responsible for the amount of nudity on Instagram.

She told the magazine: "I don't know if it's the fact that my husband has voiced that sometimes too sexy is just overkill, and he's not comfortable with that.

"I listen to him and understand him. Still, at the end of the day, he always gives me the freedom to be and do what I want.

"But I have kind of had this awakening myself. I realized I could not even scroll through Instagram in front of my kids without full nudity coming up on my feed pretty much all the time. And I definitely contributed to that."

Her increasing criminal justice work, which has taken her all the way to the White House for meetings with Donald Trump for discussions on prison reform, has also contributed to the evolution of her thoughts on how she dresses and the pictures she posts to social media.

"I also did think, like, Okay, I'm here in the White House and then the next day I was posting, like, a crazy bikini selfie. And I was thinking, I hope they don't see this. I have to go back there next week," she said.

"I think I'm evolving to where I don't feel the need to want to keep up. Not that I did it to feel like I had to keep up, but I guess I just don't care as much anymore to want to take tons of photos in a thong bikini."

Kardashian turned heads when she wore a nude dress to the Met Gala ball specially created by Mugler that was designed to appear wet, as if she had just emerged from the water.

In a clip of her reality TV show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kanye, who recently converted to Christianity, let it be known to her that he wasn't comfortable with her choice of dress for the prestigious event.

He told her that he had realized that women wearing revealing outfits, even his wife, was affecting him spiritually.

"I just went through this transition from being a rapper, looking at all these girls and looking at my wife, like, 'Oh, my girl needs to be just like the other girls showing her body off'," he said.

"I didn't realize that that was affecting my soul and my spirit as someone that's married and the father of now ... about to be four kids. A corset is a form of underwear. It's hot. For who, though?"

He added: "You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too sexy."

At the time, she respectfully told him that she wasn't ready to change her style just yet.

"Just because you're on a journey and transformation doesn't mean I'm in the same spot with you," she told him.

But now her latest comments to The Cut reveal a dramatic shift for Kim, who not too long ago received scathing criticism back in 2016 when she posted a fully nude selfie of herself to her Instagram.

Kim was on The Real talk show earlier this month where she said she wanted to honour Kanye's spiritual journey.

"He's had this epiphany of being this ... not that he wasn't an amazing dad, but being more strict as a dad and very forceful on the imagery that's in our household and what they see," she said.

"I actually agree with it, but I'm always going to be me."

She added: "At the end of the day, he's going to do things I don't agree with and I support him and vice versa."

Pure PR; might work.

Maybe she’s had an epiphany, time will tell. However, I’m not completely trusting of someone who came to fame by marketing a homemade porn video. FWIW, that video wasn’t just fellatio.

These two never miss a chance to self promote. Maybe her husband’s turn towards God is real and not just a publicity stunt, I hope so anyway. Even so, if it brings more people towards God then it’s a good thing. Time will tell on that too.

Well, Mrs. West is pushing the big 40, and maybe it has dawned on her that the sexpot look is getting harder to pull off, as gravity takes its toll.

Time to cover up the aging body, honey. Follow Melania’s example.

She is prettier with light makeup and modest clothing. Good for Kim!

There was a Christmas party at the White House in 1984. Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, who had just been humiliated along with her presidential running mate Walter Mondale in the 1984 election, asked President Reagan if he thought there would ever be a female president.

"Yes," Reagan said without hesitation. "And she'll be a Republican."

I”ll take her word on this, and we’ll just have to see how she follows through with it. If she does or doesn’t, it’s no skin off my nose. There is a connection between modesty of dress, sexual morality, and spiritual purity. If we had more people who got that, we would have a healthier society. Kanye’s comment about the corset being “hot, but for whom?” makes a good point. In relationships of mutual respect a woman (or a man) should realize that the level of familiarity provided by excessively-revealing clothing is something that is properly reserved for one’s partner. I was walking behind a young woman who was wearing satiny tap pants that looked just like lingerie. Sure, I got a show, but I was kind of embarrassed. I would not want my wife to go out like that.

There should come a time in every woman’s life where she thinks to herself “I’m getting a little old to be dressing like a ho”.

Option one: True enlightenment and repentance. Maybe she really has seen the light.
Option two: A passing fad, a temporary promise soon forgotten.
Option three: Overexposure, wrinkles and cellulite. Keeping every square inch of your body photogenic must be hard, and gets tougher as she piles on the mileage.

Hope it's option one, but time will tell.

Be hopeful, and keep them in your prayers.

They both could influence a lot of followers, for the good, if they are truly redeemed

Kanye is a good man.

Somewhere along the way he had an “On the road to Damascus” experience.


Road to Damascus refers to a sudden turning point in one’s life. It’s in reference to the conversion to Christianity of the apostle Paul while literally on the road to Damascus from Jerusalem. Prior to that moment, he had been called Saul, and was a Pharisee who persecuted followers of Jesus.

Her hair reminds me of the old blow dryer commercials.

Remember Superman the wet look....Superman the dry look.

^^^This^^^

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.


Pray for the great awakening

Other than Madonna, Kim is the least likely celebrity I would have ever expected to talk about modesty. And never in a million years would I have expected Kanye to talk and sing about the Lord. I’m flabbergasted, but pleasantly flabbergasted. I hope they continue in this direction and become positive role models for young adults.
