True Keeping Up With The Kardashians Fan Will Understand Why The Kim K Paddle Boarding Meme Doesn’t Make Sense

There are a few Keeping Up With The Kardashians scenes that we’ll never forget; that time Kim took selfies as Khloe was on her way to jail, that episode when a 9-year-old Kylie Jenner showed off her best stripper moves to mum Kris on a pole Kim had installed in the bedroom, and when Kim lost a diamond earring in the ocean and subsequently lost her mind too.

Haven’t seen it? You mean you weren’t watching when Kim’s then-husband Kris Humphries (AKA the Hump) picked her up and threw her in the ocean in Bora Bora, causing one of her diamond earrings to fall in the ocean?

Cue Kim’s classic cry-face and a mega temper tantrum. Kourtney’s reaction? ‘Kim, there’s people that are dying.’

People are talking about the iconic scene again seven years later as Kim shared photos from a trip in Turks and Caicos Islands, southeast of the Bahamas.

We know that whenever Kim Kardashian posts a picture, there’s a massive reaction; whether it’s outrage, shock or love. This time though it was laughter, and the memes started immediately.

But one Twitter user pointed out that true fans know Kylie later found the earring, and in a later interview said she found it (after diving to the bottom of the the ocean) since it was sparkling, well it was $75,000 (£52,800) so you’d hope it sparkled.

So no, Kim is not still looking for that earring, but she is looking for the perfect Instagram shot. Here’s sister Kourtney trying to take one for her.

Waist Belt Wide Enough To Be Seen From Space: Guilty

The untold damage that Gok Wan and his obsession with five-finger-wide waist-cinching belts inflicted on the women of the world can be clearly summed up by this picture. Poor Kim, she's 95% belt.

Graduated Sunglasses: Guilty

Many like to think their ombre story started with their hair, but it can actually be traced back to the summer of '07 when '70s style aviators were trailblazing the trend.

Footless Tights: Guilty

Some liked to call these leggings, but you only ever realised how low the denier really was when you bent over. Kim, like all of us, was so caught up in the footless tights mania of 2007 that she embraced them even when they were the colour of accidents. Sadly, we've all been there.

There was always a balance between getting the perfect level of wet-look shine and still being able to prize your lips open.
