STOP.
You can cape for Kim all day. I'll leave you to it. There's only so many times I'm going to repeat myself.

I think that being a model, being famous purely by conforming to a beauty standard accepted by an industry, being someone whose clothing is (mostly) decided on by men, being told how you walk, how your makeup is done and being not much more than a body on which huge corporations will make millions of dollars off of sales is rather similar to Kim's "modelling" which though is more pin-up, but is also aimed at selling magazines and making money for oneself.
You're putting an elitist view on modelling as something that has validity in the world, only because it is accepted as such, whereas sexual modelling is demeaned. In reality they are the same thing, but with different audiences. Not to mention that Kate was discovered at a young age, it wasn’t like she went around trying to model and finally broke in due to her goals to be a model. And then she also projected unfair beauty standards, “heroin chic” and underage teen-looking Calvin Klein ads, etc.
Anyway, we shouldn’t put a hierarchy on who can show their body and when, because that is clearly defined on how society tells us to think.
