I have learned how to navigate the situation when a loved one is not necessarily thrilled about my choice of boyfriend. Watch my video as I give advice on how to deal with loved ones who need to accept that you are dating outside of your race.

kim can you please tell me your workout routine, and diet....i really want to know also your measurements and how much do you weight please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't submit this question but THANK YOU for it anyways. I'm the exact same way, I have never daten within my culture and my family will not accept a "cetain special guy" in my life & it's been an on-going battle for years..but I still continue to see him because he had never done anything wrong in his life & he's good to me.

Kim I think it'd be really great if you spoke up more about this subject. It helps a lot of us girls who go through the same situation & at the same time you're helping change the world's close-minded views.

You are truly a great woman Kimberly.

Mandy, just look up the clip from when Kim was on the Wendy show a few months back. They took her measurements there on the show...though it's not a big deal 'cause she's a beautiful healthy woman & measurements shouldn't matter!!

Kim, I totally agree with what you said about dating outside your race. At the end of the day its about who u love and who loves you and the people in your life should accept that. As a Black woman,I've never dated outside of my race, but I'm definately open to it. Thanks for what you said!!

I totally get what she is asking, I am a latina girl and my boyfriend is Caucasian
at first when I was younger dating out of my race my parents were not thrilled but as time went on they accepted my decisions and respected them , because in the end I was only and now have been looking for the right person. No matter what race, it is about how he treats you that counts.

Realmente eres una bella mujer, extraordinaria y sexi, me gusta verte arreglándote el pelo.Tienes un pelo muy bonito.

sound advice!

at the end of the day the only people who have to deal with the relationship, are the two people involved!

I haven't dated outside of my race, so I dont know what its like to be scrutinized or even confronted of who I choose to be with.

However, I do agree with listening to your parents and even loved ones (when they are about your best interests) when it comes to matters of that affect. Had I listened to my mother about an ex before I went "head first" I would have been spared many tears and stress.

Great advice!

Are you really going to be an actress on Beyond the Break?

awesome video kim! do you wear extensions and can you give us the haircare treatments you use to make your hair sooo shiny and everyone is begging you to post a video of your makeup getting all dolled up!!!! thanks for being so down to earth and answering our questions. we love your blog and when is your exercise video coming out? also are you ever gonna come out to boston? you should do a calendar of the cities you're gonna be visiting this year! i'm sure your fans would love that!!!!!! xoxooxoxox

omg yes pls do a video of your makeup and exercise routine! that would be awesome! luv you kim! can you tell us what brand of spanx you wear? i no ya a fan of them! and what foundation and concealer do you use? you look flawless

YES DO A VIDEO OF YOUR MAKEUP... AND say everything you put on. That'll answer a lot of questions!!!

Hi, great advise!! We all have makeup questions, just give us a rundown of what products you use MOST. I assume you use tons of different things, but just give us what you grab most! Favorite Perfume, Favorite Foundation, etc :) Thanks. :)

Kim I think your so right on this subject. And I also think people shouldn't judge by someone's color. So many girls will just date one race and I think there's so many wonderful ethnicities that should be explored. BUT, religion is different. Since, thats one of the number 1 problems of divorce behind financial problems. So I think people should date different races but, date within there religion. Trust me I've almost made that mistake. At first its not a big deal but, than you realize you have very different opinions on how to raise your children etc.

kim said she likes michael by michael kors perfume..i personally think its too strong, but thats what kimmy said was her fave :)

Kim,

Please post a breakdown of your makeup like foundation, powder and concealer!!
Let us in on your secret and I agree, make a video showing the makeup

Honestly if your family says they won't let you see someone..the only way to make it work is being financially indepedent. That way your on your own and you can be with whoever you want, & your family eventually learns to accept it. Living under the same roof gives them the excuse to say its their rules and thats how it is.

kim pleasee post a video of what makeup u use and how u curl ur hair!!!!!!!!

thanks Anonymous, i agree with you, but kim and i have similar body type so is my motivation to workout, so kim please can you tell us your workout routine and diet, and what kind of spanx do you wear...thank you!!!
kisses

Kim!
it would be great if you were to post a video getting your make up done.. im sure you know you get this question alot! please take it into consideration i love your make up! thank you!!!

Kim, I met this guy who seems realy sweet, the thing is im only 21 and hes 30! Do you think the age difference is a major issue in relationships??

my boyfriend is black and i am not (i'm hispanic) and we havent had any problems. i feel bad for those that do.

Kim! I just saw Rob's new VLOG and him and Adrienne just moved in together coming back from India!! I guess they will last forever.

It's good to see reggie at home w you and your family instead of w his jumpoff. keep turning your head girl and believing his sweet words. remember...EVERY guy cheats.

hey jen and Mandy Spanx is the name brand geniuses!

Kim,

Your advice is amazing. I'm half Italian and half Middle Eastern. My parents will never understand. I have been dating the love of my life, on and off for 6 years, he happens to be black. Any advice on how to break the news to them without them disowning me? And not every guy cheats. If I were a guy, and I had someone as incredible as you, I would never cheat. Reggie seems like an amazing man. Perfect couple.

im black but have never dated outside my own race, i have white girlfriends as well and they too have dated black man at least once in their lifetime, i dont judge them or get jealous as many may think us black gurls get jealous by seeing a white girl with a black dude so don't twist my words here. besides, couples form different races have cute babies :) and they look nice together. but i guess it becomes harder when family esp. parents dont agree but i wouldnt let that break us, it probably only would make us stronger and tighter 2each other!

hey kim!

thanks for the advice. i totally agree with you all that matter is that the love is mutual. and family comes around even if they might not agree at first..

#1 fan
until next blog :)

yesssss do a video of your makeup, hair and exercise routine!!!!!! we love you kimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! also can you tell me how to open my own boutique?

i would fight 4 my love, damn i would even move someplace else if its that annoying and just live without telling mom and just send a wedding invitation... :S guess its not the best advice but what else can a girl do?

i luv u kim ...u & yo sistas are some fly beyotches keep doing yall thing ...luv da show

Hi,

I am puerto rican and I date a black man. I love him death and he is wonderful. I have a wonderful family who loves him as much as I do. My father wasnt thrilled at first but he has opened up alot and loves him too. I do however just alot of hate from black women. It's something you have to ignore and learn that there will always be someone hating on you, supporting you and secretly hating and then there are those who are with you till the very end... keep those close and I encourage everyone out there who is dealing with this subject... as long as he or she is a good person and you love them and they treat you right, go and do your thing.

Kim,
I have dated outside my race for most of my dating life. At first my family wasn't too pleased but eventually they came to understand that if I'm happy and I'm with someone who loves me unconditionally than it shouldn't matter what race they are. My family still gives me advice and their opinions but at the end I make my own decisions and my family has to trust and support me no matter whether they agree or not. Thanks for this blog

Love, Jhanna

Kim thanks for this...i am a young black female and my boyfriend is puertorican and white...i have never really dated my race before like you..its hard for my dad to except..he thinks he went wrong somewhere...i showed him the video...we're fans of ur show by the way and actually agreed with you..something he doesn't usually do...thanks again..more videos please:D

I think race will always be hard for people to accept. It's still a person underneath it all. I never knew why people don't understand that. I date my race and I date outside my race. I don't put one preference over the other. I find sexy men in all races.

And to add to my previous post. This is not all about black women being angry with black men dating white women. I've dated several white guys and many hateful remarks were said to my face by WHITE MEN AND WOMEN. It came to the point where my ex had to choose between me and his best friend and it shouldnt have come to that. so this story doesn't go one way only!

I think that Kim gave great advice. I am very fortunate that my family would be ok with whomever i choose to date. The only concern would be if i am being treated well. You should always follow your heart. Make sure to always use your head. Going against your family is never easy, so make sure he is worth it.

I have not been able to watch any of the videos. Is anyone else having this problem? I have adobe flash player 9 installed but the screen is just white.

Kim - how do you exercise without losing your butt? I have a similar body type and started exercising to lose my stomach. Instead I still have my stomach and started losing my butt. What exercises do you do to keep your shape intact?

Melissa you have to do squats...Kim does them all the time. Also other exercises that focus on the butt.

Very good answer to the question, Kim.

WORKOUT TIPS ASAP KIM!! THAT HAS TO BE NEXT, I AM CURVY LIKE YOU BUT IM FEARING OF LOSING MY BOOTY..HOW DO YOU DO IT?

hey kim!! im half armenian on my dads side too, and my ex boyfriend was black
so i know exactly how that feels to have your parents be disapointed in you but to love him at the same time! your so great kim! i dont know if this has been asked already but what lip gloss do you use??
i love your site![: xox

KIM
we really want to know what make up products do u use the most ????????
ASAP
she wears NARS lip gloss

You're very brave when it comes to confrontation. I hope everyone stops being ignorant.

dear kim. i am so glad that you answered this question. because i am dating a black guy as well. I am 19 and he is 23. i am an indian girl and he is Jamaican. my parents were not happy about it. and i also had to sneak around. he moved to another city now. the reason he moved as cuz he was afraid of my dad. i gave my self to this guy and i know that he cares about me . i just wish i could still be with him. i look up to you because you make me feel like i am not the only one going through something like this. thanks for being real.

Kim,

Wow this advice couldn't have come at a better time for me. I am white and currently dating a black guy and I have always been attracted to black guys. Recently I met his mom and sister and they did not seem to like the fact that he was dating a white girl. Your advice reminded me that as long as we are happy and care about each other than everything is ok. Thank you so much,
Mary

NZ

Have you ever thought about adding a forum/message board to your website with daily tips and advice? And also a section whre people can just talk about the advice and leave questions for you? It gets a little confusing and clustered a bit with things in one area. Sorry just dropping a little help. Maybe this will help you when you are looking for questions also? Thanks a bunch


Like is everyone dating a black guy? Like WTF!

Anyways, Kim I know that your a big Louis Vuitton fan. Where did you get the brown Louie with the fur trim that you have been rocking lately? Also i saw that you were interviewed on entertainment tonight will you be posting the video. I didn't get to see that show.

hey kim....just want to say that i think you're beautiful and i really admire you....and i totally agree about the race thing....the hottest guys are always a different race!! it's because its taboo that we want them....mine is white but im not and my dad is still getting used to the fact....3 years later! hope everything is great!! keep doin the damn thing!

I agree... im actually getting married with my jewish boyfriend...i am half armenian and half persian...what about that?!

My dad´s family thinks im crazy...but i dont care, im crazy in love!!

XOXOXO

HEY KIM!!

:) #1 fan
- until next time

lying ass bitches, everyone on this site is NOT dating a black guy, liars. so everyone just happened to date a black guy and can sympathize with kim? get real, half of you are probably little girls trying to get attention for kim. get a damn life

Maybe just people who RELATE to the situation is responding? Doesn't mean everyone in the world is. Also many people date interracially, and the video Kim posted helped a lot of people feel better about their similar situations.

You don't always have to make a post on Kim's blog "same anonymous person" & be so negative by the way. ~_~

you'd be surprised how many black men are dating white/hispanic/middle eastern girls...

hey wassup Kim you look hot i wish i can have a girlfriend like you one day(or have you as my girlfriend) but anyway i like your show and keep up the good work with your store Dash God Bless

I agree with the annoy, every girl on the planet responded as if they were dating a black man. & i'm not surprised that they are dating white/hispanic/middle eastern girls..they are soooo submissive and many black women are crossing over as well. I'm not dating a black men, don't like them very much. I am asian american and my boyfriend is white

You are, by far, the most beautiful person I have ever seen!

you can look like her too if you had some money. most of it is plastic surgery

hey kim what color is your hair?

i think everybody should date the same race...
you dont see a lion fucking a zebra lol, so why would a black person and a white person be together?!?!?
that's my opinion though...

Dizzle, you can say you'd never date outside your race, but until you meet someone of a different culture that you see being SPECIAL..then you'd understand. You simply are too naive to understand relationships or most things in life.

whats up w/ people askin' what color her hair is? are you people color-blind or something?? LMAO. It's dark brown of course.

Hey Kim! I'd really love your "sun-kissed" look, what is your favorite make-up bronzer to use on your face/body??

Hey Kim! I really love your "sun-kissed" look, what is your favorite make-up bronzer to use on your face/body??

for your information, don't ask me why i'm asking KIM KARDASHIAN what her hair color is! are you her? ummm no, so shut up with your comments. it doesnt look dark brown, it looks black.

hey kim I think your soooooooooooo beautifully, you should take pictures of your closet cause I know that you did closet organizer and I'm doing mind so I just wanted a piece of advice from you!!!!!!!!!!!!! so please, please upload pictures!!!!!!!!

Love ya!!!!!!!

HEY KIM K--------
JUS CHILLIN IN TRINIDAD & TOBAGO AND THINKIN BOUT U. SO HOW U DOIN ON DIS EARLY MORNING.
UR #1 FAN - D TRINI -nickolos- FROM TRINIDAD

lol then u answered your own question bout her hair color! lololol

Kim! I saw your family on Larry King Live tonight. Honestly Larry is getting so old, and his questions were just all over the place. One minute he asked about your father, the next why you did playboy..it just didn't seem organized and you all looked like it was akward. Plus most of the time when your family was talking they had clips of the show playing and not your actually faces live. But overall you all looked beautiful! (esp. Kourtney, did she do something different w/ her skin? It was glowing!).

Kim =]


i'm going to be frank, and not write you a story and say it to the point.


great advice. it helped out more than you know. your great...

thanks KK.

Dear Kim, I love how you flaunt your bodacious body without being self-concious of having a voluminous frame. i think you send a good message to the media these days that you dont have to be like your sister khourtney (although shes gorgeous).

I thought the episode with khloe's acting classes was HILARIOUS. Khloe doesnt have to change anything about her, really! i thought the gay guy and mr. jenner was really funny. especially the gay bar part. your show is getting funnier and funnier! i love you!

Hey Kim! I am going through something right now that is a absolute nightmare and embarrassing! I send this note in hopes that you could possible hear me out and maybe give me good advice on what i should do. Everyone keeps saying to go to a courthouse but im so afraid do to that to the people who i am having an issue with. I am in a seriously hard situation, please help!!
Love You! Your sisters are so awesome!!

Brandyn

DOES KOURTNEY & KLOHE HAVE A WEBSITE? ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE INTERSTED IN THEM SINCE THEY SHOW. Can you update us on what is going on with them? We love them!!

Thanks Kim, this topic really hits home for me. I am white and have always dated black guys. My parents don't agree. I have been with the same guy for over 12 years and my parents still can't deal. My dad hates him just because of his skin color. It is starting to cause problems with our relationship b/c I am always invited to everything with his family. His family is great. He couldn't even come to my sister's wedding because of my dad. I have went every route with my parents, they just can't accept it. I feel like I am playing tug-a-war between him and my family.

Some of you have been asking Kim what her measurements are. She took her measurements on Wendy Williams show. They are: boobs 35(didn't say cup size) 26 waist and 39 1/2 to 40 on hips. After finding out her measurements I have to say I don't see what all the fuss in Hollywood is about how big her butt is. Not trying to offend you Kim. I took my measurements and they are 34C 29 waist and 40 hips and I'm 5'6". Guess I would have a Kim K booty if I lived in Hollywood too especially being surrounded by stick figures.

shut the hell up man, you dont even fucking know me and your saying im naive to understand things in life... u stupid shit

OH MY GOD DiZzLe. THAT IS WHAT SEPERATES US FROM ANIMALS. WE ARE HUMANS AND NO MATTER IF YOU ARE BLACK OR WHITE YOU ARE THE SAME, THE ONLY THING THAT IS DIFFERENT IS THE MELANIN IN OUR BODY, WHICH DECIDES WHICH COLOR WE ARE GOING TO HAVE. I AM WHITE AND MY BROTHER AND MOTHER ARE DARKER THAN MY DAD AND ME, IT IS DIFFERENT FOR US ALL. BY THE WAY, RACE IS THE WRONG WORD PEOPLE USE. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ANIMALS OF A DIFFERENT RACE, BUT NOT PEOPLE.

I LOVE MY BLACK GUY AND HE LOVES ME. MY FAMILY CANT ACCEPT IT AND WILL NEVER MEET HIM, THAT IS THEIR LOSSS, BECAUSE IF THEY CANT ACCEPT HIM THEY WILL NOT ACCEPTH THEIR GRAND CHILDREN.

FUCK COLOR IT IS 2008 AND WE ARE ALL PEOPLE. MAYBE ITS BECAUSE I AM FROM EUROPE AND I JUST DONT SE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE AGAINST PEOPLE OF OTHER COLOR.

Wow Dizzle, you're dumb. Take some physical/biological anthropology classes.

im not races, i just think everybody should date the same race, thats the way i was raised, and dont call me dumb, everybody has there own god damn opinion you stupid bitch

Hey Kim, I love how you keep us updated. But I have a HUGE question - WHEN IS THE DASH WEBSITE GOING TO BE UP SO I CAN SHOP! lol I can't wait, i'm too excited. I live on the other side of the country so I can't go to the store :(

by

good question.
i've dated both inside and out of my race..and I agree with kim as long as there is love and respect between a man and woman that's what matters..the rest works itself out..

at the end of last year some sent pictures of kim claiming that the person was someone else on the bado website and me not seeing the show did not relize that the person in the picture was kim not the other person. i was stupid and sent money to them in ghana africa. they had claimed to have been working there for a short time and needed some extra cash.but stopped talking to them when they ask for more when the person posing in the pictures was sick in the hospital. i not that i see this site i reconize some of the pictures. im glad that i only sent them 200 dollars.other fans need to know about this scam

dear kim,
im only 16 years old and from my personal experience i think im very much in love with my boyfriend whos 18. we have been dating for one year and i love him more than anything in this world. i am an armenian girl and like all weird armo families my parents are retarted. they dont approve of my relationship with my black boyfriend. its so hard for me because till this day i am struggling with my family because they have told me that if i choose him over them then i will not be considered their daughter anymore. i mean i dont really care but im only 16 what can i do?!
we went through a phase in our relationship were he cheated on me and i dumped him but 2 months later forgave him and thank god our relationship has been wonderful ever since but hes currently locked up and i dont know what to do. he gets out in late april but im killing myself with these rediculous thoughs in my head. im really scared because i dont know if hes going to love me like he used to when he gets out or if hes not going to want me anymore and im seriously terrified cuz i cant loose him i offered him soo much (if u get what i mean) and i dont know what i would do if he called it quits cuz i sacrafised practically my whole life for him. till this day im still arguing with my parents but i know im not going to give up, this situation got so intense that before he got locked up we were planning on running away and having a baby!!!
so im really stuck and as an intelligant beautiful woman i know u have gone through hell too and i was hoping.. wishing that u could help me out and give me some advice on what i should do with him?!
if u ever read this please write back and HELP ME!
thank u sincerly
young_&_confused

i think your too young to runaway and have a baby, my friend did that with her boyfriend once, the guy couldnt afford it so he dumped her, she went back to her parents and her parents didnt want her in the house anymore, so i think you should wait till your older :)

someone's getting worked up. lol

besides, race is just a misconception. you'd learn that in biological anthropology classes.

Did someone here really ask Kim what Spanx she wears? There are some weird mofo's here. Anyway, good response Kim... we've all dealt with this topic. Remember though, moms are good sniffing out a bad guy - regardless of race, so sometimes it's not the race that's the cause of the dislike.

Well jennifer i dont think i should go there because i think that im right, everyone has there own opinions, i would go if i wanted to change, but people like me for who i am so why change :)

Hey,

Saw your family on Larry King Live. The section about your late dad was moving. Congrats, on being listed in top 100 in AskMen. They left out actress/model Sasha Barrese. She would be in my top five. She is talented,genuine and gourgeous. I've been using kettle bells for training this past year. Man, they're great for cardio, body toning, functional strength and ballistic strength for self defense. Try it out you'll feel and look great.jb

That's cool, I liked her answer..and its nice that she cleared up the facts on her roots..almost every blog/chat forum wants to know what she's mixed with, or whether she speaks Armenian or not...
I love her...shes beautiful, especially the eyes/eyebrows combination, her personality, everything..everyone makes mistakes, and its not easy being in front of a camera 24/7...
Besides, whats great is that ppl in places other than SoCal, now know what an Armenian is!
By the way, other famous Armenians include: Andre Agassi, Cher, and the guys from System of a Down!

you're super gorgeous kim!!

she has got to be the dumbest person i have ever heard!!! OKay first of all your Armenian dad dating your mom who is German is still the same race!!! And you dating a white guy previously and you being Armenian makes it the same race... maybe a different NATIONALITY is what you meant kim... but wow your advice all in all sucked cause your incorrect about the info and you just blab on about yourself. You said nothing no one else already knew and your fans are like little mindless 12 yr olds who will most likely bash me for this comment but your all crazy!! Stop sticking up for someone who doesnt even know you exsit. Im entitled to my opinions and your entitled to yours so if your gonna tell me im hater then just stfu! & you are not smart at all and i think you know it. You just love attention and its obv.

Hi,

Thank you for this post, Kim. I think you're incredibly brave for dating outside of your race. It's especially tough for the children of immigrants because [in my opinion], [not all, but many] immigrant parents are ethnocentric. My father told me he'd prefer I marry an Asian man. He said I can have fun with any other race for now, but to marry within my culture. He has also been pretty up front about his racism towards African Americans. It's appalling, but I am glad I don't share his perspective.

Take Care

Hi Kim,
I can't tell you how happy I am that you've posted a topic like this one. I'm Armenian myself and the guy I'm dating is black. How did you first tell your family and how did they respond? My biggest concern is my mom, dad and sister. Their opinions are the only ones that matter. Your advice will truly help. I'd love to know how you told them. I would truly appreciate your response. I visited your store last week, as I do often. Bought a couple shirts...love the stuff. =) You're beautiful. I saw you there with all your sisters a couple months ago but you weren't there this last week. Hope to meet you again in person. Thank you! xoxo -Liana <3

Someone should do spell check before posting a comment about being the dumbest person they ever heard because it just makes you look dumb too if you can't spell correctly. Here’s some help for your comment…. "your"...it's actually "YOU'RE"....

LMAO..learn how to SPELL before trying to make a comeback jillian. You just sound retarded!

Kim, thank you so much for sharing this advice. My dad is a strict, very wealthy italian man, who has given me everything I have ever wanted. However, I know he has the old school prejudice mentality, and therefore, has never met any of my black boyfriends! Which was okay, because they were no good anyway, lol. But my current boyfriend of 2 years is a college graduate, a school teacher, and could not be nicer. I am still very much afraid of what my dad will say, because family is so important. But hearing your advice gives me strength!!

Kim,
What are the prices for clothes at your store, DASH, like? Jsut ondering if there ant in my price range, if anyone knows? Thanks!

Kelly

There is only one "race"...that is the human race! A white human dating any other "color" human is still dating someone of the same RACE!

Why are so many girls so foolish to date black guys?? Obviously they aren't very informed with American society. More black men are in prison than any other ethnic group becuase they break more laws like robbing, raping, murder, etc. Black men also stole from their own communities during the LA riots in the early 1990s and also during the Katrina storm. The whites in New Orleans stole needed items for survival like food and medicine while blacks stole many shoes. Blacks also fail to get educated while schooling is free and speak proper English. Need I go on?

I'm Armenian myself & married to a wonderful black guy & we have a 10 month old beautiful daughter. My parents never approved of it & when I told them I was getting married they freaked out & told me that they were never going to speak to me again. My dad didn't come to our wedding my mom did. Now they couldn't be happier with my choice. I followed my heart & did what I felt was right. They love my daughter more than words can say. It’s hard in the beginning but if you feel that certain someone is the one, than go for it! Everything will work out at the end. They are your family they are just trying to scare you. Live your life for you not for everyone else.

Hey Kim,
I have some of the same issues. I have a dad that's iranian, and he doesn't care what race of people I date, but for some reason, my mom really wants me to date an iranian guy because they don't believe in divorce. I think that just because someone doesn't believe in divorce isn't the only reason to marry them. I haven't ever really been attracted to an iranian guy, and for some reason I just don't think I ever will be. I'm usually attracted to white guys just because that is who I have grown up around. And my cousin is getting married in the middle of June, and his fiance has a really attractive brother. He's white, and I really like him. Do you think I should go for it, or do you think I shouldn't? We aren't going to be first cousins or anything, so that really isn't an issue. I really need advice...

Hi Kim,

I know you loved your father very much and to see that he was kind of a typical Armenian father wanting you to date within your race. I know how they can be because my father is the same so my question to you would be, how do you think your father would have reacted to your Playboy pictures? My intention is not to be rude but my father will have my head if I was to do that.

no, you don't need to go on.

Hey Kim,

I completely understand because I go though it. I don’t think that my parents have excepted anyone of the guys I have dated, but what I don’t understand till this day my grandfather has not excepted my dad in his life. So if my mom has gone though it why would she do it to me. I think it’s great for you to bring this subject up especially for the young girls that don’t know how to speak to there parents because I was one of those girls at one point.

Hii Kimberly!
First off, I would like to say your my idol:)
your so gorgeous and talented!
Well, I am also of Armenian descent. My parents always freak out when I tell them that I'm going to go date someone out of my race! There is no easy way to make parents understand what you do. Especially if they are strict! Parents always think they are right and nothing will change their opinion. Take chances and live your life the way you want to!

So I watch the show and I also come from a large family of eight. I was just thinking about how well you and your sisters get along. I like how you all hang out together it is so cool. My just wondering if it was always like that? Did you ever not get along? Also did you start your Dash store yourself or was that a group thing?
Thanks Kim

HEY KIM, VID WAS GOOD, JUST WONDERIN Y U NEVER DATED AN ARMENIAN? IM AN ARMENIAN AND I GOTTA SAY ARMENIAN GUYZ REALLY DO KNOW HOW TO TREAT THEIR GIRLZ THE RIGHT WAY. TRY DATING AN ARMENIAN YOU WONT REGRET IT

HEY KIM, NOT TO SOUND MEAN BUT ARE YOU ASHAMED OF YOUR ARMENIAN BACKGROUND? OTHER THAN SAYING YOU ARE ARMENIAN, WHAT ELSE DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING ARMENIAN. .I SAW YOUR E TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY LAST NIGHT AND I WAS A LITTLE BUMMED THAT NOT MUCH WAS MENTIONED ABOUT YOUR FATHER'S BACKGROUND.. THE STORY WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT THE KARDASIANS RIGHT? GRANTED BRUCE IS YOUR STEPFATHER, HIS LAST NAME ISNT KARDASIAN AND OTHER THAN THE VIDEOS AND PICS OF YOUR FATHER, I LEARNED MORE ABOUT BRUCE'S BIO THAN OF YOUR FATHER'S..

Kim, luv ur show u guys r gorgeous. recently on the episode where you were taking pics in the store for the website you wore a long grey sweater thats flowy in the front, where can I get it I need it in my life lol. Also what bronzer do you use.

hey kim,


ummm i just really am very interested if u would eva go out wit an Armenian guy..Cuz i'm Armenian and its very interesting to me how u never went out wit an Armenian...soo i just would like to noo..

Hey Kim.

I am middle eastern, and ya...really cant relate to this girl all to much because well, im really into middle eastern guys, but its really hard. I mean, you might think that your parents wont "disown," you or anything, but many situations are different. i mean, your father is obviously an educated man, and he did marry outside his race, and he lived the whole LA life (rip), but i bet this girl, like many other middle eastern girls parents are BOTH middle eastern, probably either not educated, or if they are educated they havent been exposed to life like your father. i have an armenian friend who is allowed to have boyfriends, and then i myself, and other friends arnt allowed to have boyfriends. things change, so i honestly think this girl needs to be smart about her choices. no one knows her parents mre then her, and in the end, family are the people who will always be there fore you, and sometimes they feel like some guys arnt right. I wouldnt take the chance of loosing my family for some guy.
and kim, i see how much your into your family, and how upset you get when something you did effects your sisters, so obviously your family means more to you then any guy as well.

Hi Kim,
Are you still selling clothes and shoes on Ebay?

Cant wait til you post your on how you do your makeup !!!WHEN WHEN???

Also, I totally agree with what you said about dating outside your race. At the end of the day its about who u love and who loves you and the people in your life should accept that.I am Iranien(grew up in Sweden)married to a black guy. Dont let family control your life. You take CONTROL of how YOU want to live your life!!

I am a black female that has only dated outside of my race..sometimes you are just more physically attracted to guys outside of your race and that is fine... dating interracially is beautiful...Diversity is the best! God bless

Hey Kim!
I was wondering if u knew how i could get my 3 yr old lil girl out there into the modeling world. Everywhere we go people tell me i NEED to get her into it, but i now live in a small town in NC (orig from Ft Laud) & dunno where to go or who to ask. I am German & Italian & her dad is Black & cherokee Indian...she perfect!!! I am currently in school for my PharmD & working so money is an issue. I read that if u have to pay its a scam...Is that true?? I have some pics on my pc i can send out for now. If u have any advice it would definitely help :) Thanks!!

i think its really great that you spoke upon this subject, because alot of girls go through this very same situation, and the problem is that our parents generation still think that mixing races is a problem. im going through the same situation. My family is hard core traditional italian, and my boyfriend is black.. I am suffering tremendously and i feel bad for him because he is such a great person, but not accepted because of his skin color...
i watch you and your BF on tv, and i jus wish i could be as open and happy about it as you are with your family...

Kim,

I can't find a website on your sister Klohe. She seems nice, but I was wondering why doesn't she have a boyfriend? Is she gay? It seems strange that she never talks about guys or goes out on any dates???

Kim,

I am heading back to Afghanistan soon (ARMY Reserves) and I wondered how I could get an autographed photo to put up in my living quarters; you would make me the envy of the Battalion.

Thanks,
Lance

Well your father is white though, Armenian people are considered apart of the white race so he didnt marry outside his race, he married inside his race. Thats like saying an Italian married an irish person outside their race.
I'm 2nd generation Armenian American and usually date white guys, thats my own race but different nationalities. I never dated an Armenian guy because I never met any where I live.
You should have talked about what your mom and her family thought about it.

Dear Kim, I had a sister pass away a little over a year ago. She lived a tough life and she eventually ended up committing suicide. It was so tough for my family and I just can't learn to deal with it even after a long year!! I know you had to deal with the loss of your father so I was wondering if you had any tips to help me with this?? Read More
