14 DAY TRIAL // Kanye West is the epitome of class. If you were to open a dictionary to look up the word “class,” you would not find a photo of Kanye, but instead, you would find a photo of the portrait he gave Kim Kardashian for a wedding gift.
Words fail to describe the sheer amount of awesomeness that portrait is. Usually, when people say wedding portrait, you think a lovely pose with the bride and groom, preferably in wedding regalia, smiling warmly and lovingly as they step into married life.
If you think Kanye's portrait is something like the description above, you're way off. No, Kanye chose to give his blushing new bride something to hang over the fireplace in the den which would make all other guests blush.
In the painting he gave her as a wedding present, Kim is portrayed in nothing but a G-string and stiletto shoes, as she clutches her arms to her chest in a sensual embrace of her bosoms. She's got her back to the viewer, but her head is arched back in a sensual pose, bright red lips and dark make-up, subtly reminiscent of pop-art portraits made famous by Andy Warhol.
Wait, it gets better. Kanye also decided to inscribe the portrait like you would inscribe your wedding ring. As Kim looks sensually away from the framed portrait, the phrases “My Queen Kim” and “Perfect [expletive]” can be seen written on either side of the picture.
The picture, which is reportedly going in the couple's bedroom, was done by anonymous street artists Bambi who was simply told by Kanye that he wants “something regal but typically Kim.” We're not sure just what is regal about this photo, since no Queen has ever posed in the buff before, but at least the artist definitely got the “typically Kim” part down perfectly.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the magnificent painting set back Kanye a pretty penny too, the commission fee being given somewhere in the five figures neighborhood. But don't worry though, there are hints that the picture could go into production, meaning that you too can hang Kim Kardashian on a wall in your home.
The artist's manager, Leonard Villa, revealed that there were no exclusive rights to the commissioned photo, which means that Bambi could be free to make as make copies as she wants. It remains to be seen if people are going to pay serious cash to have a scantily-clad Kim looking demurely at you from your bedroom wall.
