Background
Kim Kardashian has grown an influential online and social media presence, and has always been known for taking selfies, and was called "queen of selfies" by The New York Times. In an interview with Adweek, Kardashian mentioned that she has been taking pictures of herself for decades, and said:
The photobook was announced in August 2014; the idea to assemble a book from selfies first came to Kardashian when she was thinking of what to give to her husband Kanye West as a Valentine's Day gift. "I couldn't think of what to get Kanye [for Valentine's Day] and so I was like, 'All guys love it when a girl sends them sexy pics.' So I had Stephanie [Kim's assistant] get a Polaroid, and we were taking photos around the entire house…making this cool book," Kardashian commented on an idea during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. "It ended up turning out so cool we came up with this idea to do a selfie book. So I'm going to make some super racy," she continued.
