Say whatever you want, I still say he should get himself checked out at the clinic.

Yeah, I don’t see posing there at all. She’s just looking in the direction of some weird shit happening next to her. Her expression seems pretty flustered, actually.

**Guy gets lucky with Kim Kardashian.**

He saw her coming and quickly ducked in an alley to avoid her.

Three comments:

1. DOUCHE!!!
2. KK is actually attractive when not dress like a skankwhore.
3. The best part is the guy in the background that has his phonecam pointed at her ass.

I’m not sure I’d consider “getting lucky” with that skank to be all that “lucky.” 'Course, now that I’m older I consider myself to be a bit more discriminating than I used to be when it comes to women.

Celebs, models and others that spend a lot of time in front of cameras often develop a sixth sense about being photographed and trying to look their best.  
Years ago, long before cell phone cameras, I was at a car show. There was a booth with a Playboy centerfold signing autographs. I was standing quite a distance away and there were lots of people around. I put my camera to my eye and put my finger on the trigger. At this point I thought she was totally oblivious to me. As I began to push the button she looked directly into my camera an gave a perfect, beautiful smile! It was amazing to me how smoothly she gave me a great shot and went back to signing without missing a beat. That was in the days of 35mm prints and sadly I don’t know what became of the picture. I was married at the time, it’s possible the ex pitched it.

To each their own, but on a purely physical level I consider her to be one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t know her well enough to judge anything else about her.

She is not posing. Her whole posture is different when she’s being photographed. Her shoulders would be down and back and her head would be held higher and straighter. In that photo, she’s kinda slouchy. No criticism intended when I say that. It’s just a contrast to her usual photo poses.

I do like the fact that the dude is wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers hat instead of a Yankees hat.

I especially appreciate how he makes himself totally awkward and uncomfortable by operating his phone camera with one hand whilst holding his skateboard under his arm to do so, leaning weirdly as he walks

so he can get his 3-digit hand gesture of ultimate coolness in the shot.

I love her dress. It’s extremely classy and stylish and in good taste. Her many foibles aside, she can really rock some looks when she puts her mind to it.

I like the fact that someone else got a perfectly timed photo of him taking an improv selfie with a guy in the background filming the rest…

Further to the old man ranting of **WordMan** , this photo almost perfectly encapsulates where a large part of American/Western culture is, circa 2014.

Faux-celebrity driven wealth.

Voyeurism.

Egotism.

Ethnic diversity.

It’s almost profound, that picture.

Don’t you mean when her fashion assistant picks out the outfits that were given to her for free by fashion designers wanting advertisement knowing the paps are going to be photographing her 24/7?

Nice - and yeah, you are probably right about Royal-court celebrity being a better fit vs. my Rockwell reference. And \*\*Dr\_Doom \*\*- yep, that’s totally my point, too.

Thank you. I was wondering which one KK is.

To me, getting lucky with Kim would be if I had just missed meeting her. 😃

Yeah, I think I’m ready to join the Kim Kardashian Klub. I hope they have some cool hats and t-shirts!
