The Best Kind of Birthday


Make no mistake: the greatest thing to hit the internet is Kim Kardashian‘s pregnancy-themed 35th birthday. “How can they make such a bold claim?” you may wonder. Because Kanye West, who organized the shindig, mandated that all the guests wear fake baby bumps upon their arrival. And the attire? Dress as one of your favorite KimK pregnancy looks. Stop, if you can, and imagine all of the Kardashian brood standing around, celebrating Kim with wads of cotton stuffed down their heavily spandex’d tops and tube dresses. It’s the stuff Instagram gold is made of.
