Kim Kardashian brings in a BACKDROP FLUNKEY to show off her tiny waist

Kim Kardashian has a waist, everyone. Oh, that’s not news? ‘Woman has waist’ isn’t news? Sure it is: the only reason we have human knowledge of Kim Kardashian’s waist is because she’s brought in a lackey to help show it off.

Yup. Remember when Kim paid two assistants to rub sand all over her butt for a sexy ‘ beach photoshoot in Thailand? Well now it looks like she’s got a member of staff whose sole job it is to hold up various pieces of material behind her so she can get the perfect backdrop for the perfect Instagram shot.

Just look at this picture she shared last night: well-practised pout, check; dynamic foreground items, check; backdrop flunkey holding up white shirt to contrast against her all-black outfit, CHECK.

“On set using my @premadonna87's waist trainer before I shoot! #premadonna87 is my fave! @pre_shop#waistgangsociety,” she captioned the snap.

We have several other questions to ask about this image, namely: who the hell needs four, FOUR (4), pairs of hairdressing scissors? And that nest of hairbrushes to tame her ultra-smooth tresses, what’s that about?

Plus you’ll probably notice that ancient BlackBerry lying on the make-up table. We were thrilled to find out Kim still uses a BlackBerry Bold – and even has a stash of them as backups just in case her main one dies.

“They don’t even have them in stores anymore. I buy them on eBay. It’s a BlackBerry Bold. And I like to have three in my room that I line up in case they break,” she admitted last October.

“BlackBerry has my heart and soul, I’ll never get rid of it,” she added. “I do have an iPhone, and I use that for photos, but if you have an email and you need to type fast, you need to have that keyboard.”

Incredible. Kim likes to communicate like it’s 2009.
