Kim Kardashian, also known as Kim Kardashian West, Kim K, Kimmy, Keeks and one-half of Kimye, is 36 today. Love her or hate her, she’s shaped the pop culture landscape for the better part of a decade, in part, because of the wild success of her family’s reality TV show, Keeping up with the Kardashians.
The usually social media-immersed star is not likely to be making any appearances on Snapchat or Instagram today, in light of a recent incident that prompted her to take a brief hiatus from the spotlight. However, her career thus far–even her absence from social media–have never failed to make headlines. Here are 29 of the most memorable Kim Kardashian West moments, so far (in no particular order).
1. When she and Paris Hilton were Louis Vuitton twinsies.
2. When she and her family coined the term “bible.”
3. When she tweeted this:
