Remember the hand-painted Herm├â┬⌐s Birkin ‘Ye gave to his lady love for Christmas?
Of course you do! Those gnarly nudie-monster chicks were seared into your mind like grill marks on a footlong slobber sausage!
Well, guess what? Kanye West totally knew everyone would be up in arms about his present!!! He PREDICTED it!
According to George Condo — the artist Yeezus commissioned to create Kim Kardashian‘s horrifying bag — they both new what the public’s reaction would be!
In a recent issue of W, George admitted:
├óΓé¼┼ôKanye and I both knew immediately that people who knew our collaboration would think it was fun but that Kim├óΓé¼Γäós fan base would go berserk… The whole point was to take an icon of consumerism and change it, which is like blasphemy. ├óΓé¼╦£You can├óΓé¼Γäót do this!├óΓé¼Γäó It short circuits people├óΓé¼Γäós concept of what├óΓé¼Γäós untouchable, which is why it was fun to do. If I had just done it and put it in my closet, it wouldn├óΓé¼Γäót mean a thing… But when you stick that bag in the hands of Kim Kardashian, well, then you create a whole different atmosphere. It├óΓé¼Γäós about context.├óΓé¼┬¥
So there you have it!
It was all about context!
And trolling, apparently, too, LOLz!!
