Shock Value! Kylie Jenner Poses as Dominatrix Doll on New Interview Cover
Kylie Jenner dominates on Interview magazine's racy new December/January cover!
The reality star posed as a doll-like dominatrix for photographer Steven Klein in a series of shots that included gold liquid latex and bottomless chaps! Perhaps the most controversial was Kylie posing in a wheelchair, which caused backlash online.
In the interview, Jenner talks about how she started experimenting with her look a few years ago, saying, "Honestly, what I think set everything off is when I cut my hair off when I was 16 and dyed it blue. After that, I just felt so free and wanted to experiment with my look. I thought I knew who I was and what I wanted to look like, but then once I did that, I was like, 'Whoa, there's a world of difference.' I just felt like I could be whoever I wanted to be, and I'm all about, like, experimenting. I'm still so young, so I'm just having fun.” She just dyed her hair green and was spotted leaving the DASH store after her Lip Kit launch on Monday in West Hollywood.
Kylie has been pushing the envelope for years, and has gained over 40 millions Instagram followers in the process. When asked if she feels the pressure from such a large number of followers, she credits Lady Gaga with helping her. “[Lady Gaga] came up to me [at the Alexander Wang fashion show after-party] and was like, 'I think you're so amazing, and whatever you're doing, people are just obsessed with it,' and she basically told me to not change. And I feel like that really helped me, because there's a reason why I have so many followers and why people pay so much attention to me. So I just try not to change and stay authentic. I do feel pressure when I do sexy photo shoots and stuff, or if I want to post a picture... I don't know. Because I want to be a good role model, but I also want to be me.”
Though the 18-year-old lets her fans see a large part of her life on social media, she still manages to keep a part of herself private. She said, "There is absolutely a side of me that people don't know. I'm not myself on Snapchat or Instagram. That's totally not me. I'm way flashier on Instagram and Snapchat, because I feel like that's what people want to see and that's what I've always done, so I'm not going to stop. People want to see my cars and my purses. People love fashion. But that's so not me."
Jenner admits her fame and growing up on reality television has made her lose part of her youth. She revealed, "I feel like I'm going to look back and be like, 'Damn, I wish I could've just been a kid and done normal teenage stuff that my friends get to do.' But it also is a blessing, and I've done so many things that most 35-year-old women still haven't done. You can look at anything glass-half-full or whatever. Like, yesterday I realized that I'm 18, I'm a female, and I have accomplished so much. I live in a beautiful home and I work really hard, so I'm just grateful.”
