The model transformed the video of her cutting a cucumber into a costume.
Regarding the Kardashian-Jenner family’s ability to manipulate public opinion and generate viral moments, I make no apologies. The ever-crafty matriarch Kris Jenner is a specialist in this field; the devil may work hard, but a mother works much harder. Therefore, one could not be faulted for concluding that everything Kendall Jenner did earlier this year, when she became viral for essentially never having held a knife or sliced a vegetable before, was part of Kris’s grand scheme. If you haven’t seen it, please pause for a moment to laugh at the absurdity of Kendall Jenner cutting a cucumber.
However, because the incident on The Kardashians was so ridiculous and amusing, it hardly mattered how it occurred. If KJ had planned everything, she would be deserving of both the Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for screenwriting for bringing people together to celebrate such an absurd instance of celebrity privilege. If Kenny really did cut a cucumber in such an acrobatic, disorganised, and ineffective manner, then that’s a gift in and of itself. And now this: a Kendall Jenner dressed as a cucumber cutter for Halloween, amid the extravagant celebrity costumes and lavish picture ops. Simple but incredibly powerful. Let the pizza rat go.
The Kardashians are not particularly regarded for being relatable. In fact, a lot of the time, scenes like Kris and Kylie utterly revelling in the “cute” novelty of going to the grocery store, which is a tedious and occasionally painful errand for most of us, feel outrageously out of place. However, Kendall’s decision to laugh at herself with us is what I’d call a tiny relatability triumph. Join them if you can’t defeat them. And a self-aware queen is always appreciated. So that Kendall doesn’t lose a finger while chopping an onion, someone needs to instruct one of her employees to hide her kitchen knives.
