Khloe Kardashian Posts Nudes From Impromptu Marilyn Monroe Inspired Photoshoot As ‘Kocktails With Khloe’ Tanks
Khloe Kardashian must really think strong looks better naked. Us Weekly reports that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star posted some nude pics on her Instagram late Saturday night. Although Khloe uses some “strategic” hand placements, the pictures don’t leave much to the imagination.
In another one of the photos, the reality star is lying next to the pool with her back arched, showing off some enviable curves. Khloe captioned the photo “Trade Marked.”
If you’re curious about how this photoshoot happened, Khloe explained it all on her website late last year. Apparently, they were taken while the Kardashians were on vacation during summer, 2015.
“Soooooo yeah this happened. Joyce Bonelli, Jen Atkin and Jen’s husband Mike Rosenthal were on our family vacation as well. Mike just so happens to be an incredible photographer. How f**king lucky are we?! One night after our Keeping up with the Kardashians cameras went down and everyone was asleep, Kendall and I were super bored so we called Jen and Joyce and decided to go to Jen’s little bungalow and do a photo shoot just for fun. YOLO, right? We started drinking a little and somehow this impromptu photo shoot turned into a fully nude photo shoot ? I was apparently living in the moment..LOL!!!”
The question remains: why is Khloe Kardashian posting these pictures now when they were, according to her, taken last summer. Could it have something to do with the ratings mess that her show Kocktails with Khloe finds itself in?
The New York Daily News reports that the ratings for Khloe’s new talk show are tanking — quickly. The article reports that, according to Nielsen, the latest episode of Kocktails with Khloe could not even manage to attract 300,000 viewers.
The show, which airs on the FYI network, premiered with close to 500,000 viewers. But don’t let that high number fool you. The New York Daily News reports that it’s really an aggregation of the ratings from numerous airings of the show. Kocktails only managed to get 347,000 people to tune in on the night of its premiere.

So what’s the issue with Kocktails with Khloe, and why is it losing viewers? Writing for the New York Daily News, Don Kaplan offers a neat summation of what could be the problem.
“It’s komplete krap,” he writes.
” ‘Kocktails’ was a miserable mishmash of fast talking and kwik kamera kuts that was as difficult to follow as a gum-popping waitress in a loud bar.”
To the show’s credit, it isn’t filmed like your typical talk show. There’s a voyeuristic Big Brother feel to it, since there’s apparently no camera crew, just hidden cameras designed to capture all of the interaction between Khloe and her guests.

But. as Kaplan writes in his review of Kocktails, an experimental take on boring content is still just that: boring content.
“But there was no krackling konversation, just a lot of jibber-jabber and ridiculous games like one Khloe called ‘Do Me’ in which she asked the women questions about their sex lives,” Kaplan writes. “Later she had Kendall krank-kall their sister Kim Kardashian and joke that the 20-year old model was pregnant. It was kramp-inducing television.”
Maybe she could flash her tasteful pool nudes in an upcoming episode to shake things up a bit.
