I’m not going to look at that but I will say, Us Weekly posted a pic of Kim on her way to an “LA art discussion”, wearing a see-through-ish black pantsuit. Yeah, sounds like a real intellectual discussion, when I can see someone’s belly button. ---

They’re fairly tasteful and not really nudes. One shows a lot of skin, but no naughty bits. ---

Covered up nudes are not nudes. ---

She’s not his girlfriend; they’re married. He’s showing off photos of her because he knew who she was when he married her. ---

Well, he’s not married to Taylor Swift and if it’s not Taylor Swift I don’t give a rats ass. ---

Kim K may not be some people’s cup of tea, but to me she’s extremely attractive. And she’s Kanye’s dream girl so I don’t have an issue with it. I wouldn’t do it myself, though. ---

She looks more modest in those, than she does fully clothed sometimes. As for why, Kanye West is an idiot. ---

Because KK is famous for being famous. She has no other notable skills or talents. In order to make a career out of being famous, you must keep your name in the news and, now days, the social media. And to keep the public from getting bored, you need to do something more outrageous every time. They sat down with their publicity team and said, “What do we need to do next?” They brainstormed a bit and finally somebody said, “Why doesn’t Kanye tweet some almost nude pictures?” This appealed to Kanye’s ego as he thought of himself as a great photographer. And so, the pictures were published. ---

And just to be clear, they are married. Since the OP seems to think Kim’s just his GF. ---
