Abstract

What does being a member of the Kardashian Krew get a woman who didn’t start out that way? The answer: amazing notoriety: magazine covers and glamorous photographic spreads as well as in-depth, personal interviews with celebrity television personalities, coveted awards, and perhaps even the chance to dissolve and forget guilt after rear-ending a car across the median, resulting in the loss of life. Such is the experience of the former Bruce Jenner who was born a man, won gold at the 1976 Olympics, married a Kardashian the third time around, fathered two daughters with her, and then decided that living out his life as a female offered a much more desirable future, one he was always meant to have.
