There Was Almost a Kim Kardashian Barbie
By Kwadar Ray
This past week has been a time of reminiscing for Kim Kardashian. Thanks to fans on social media, the reality star is being reminded of some of her most iconic looks from the past.
It all began Wednesday when a Twitter user posted an old photo of Kim in a Juicy Couture sweatsuit and a Louis Vuitton bag, tweeting they would love to see Kim bring back the look.

Kim responded by revealing an awesome backstory to the photo.
"Fun Fact- in this pic I was on my way to meet Kanye for his Good Life performance for the MTV Awards," she tweeted. "I didn’t really know him but his people called my people lol & I was a girl in the audience at the live performance in Vegas."
Another throwback resurfaced on Twitter was a black dress Kim wore in 2011, which she also had an awesome backstory to. Kardashian revealed the dress was the exact look for a Kim K Barbie that was in the works at the time.
Disappointingly, the Barbie deal was cancelled, but a saddened Kim was consoled by Kanye, who gave her a prototype of the doll just for herself. How sweet!
Have the best story about this look! I had a Barbie deal & she was going 2 wear this exact look! Then the deal got cancelled, the Kim K Barbie would no longer B produced. Kanye knew how sad I was, called Mattel & made all my dreams come true by having my prototype made just 4 me! https://t.co/F1r2Ai8WWC
