A fan favorite of E!’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloe
Kardashian steals the show with her witty and tell-it-like-it-is
dialogue. In addition to sharing the spotlight with her two older
sisters, Kourtney and Kim, she manages DASH, a high-end women’s
boutique in Southern California. MF was lucky enough to catch up with
Khloe right after her show in New York City during Fashion Week, where
she dished about the next season of the show, her biggest turn-on,
and what it takes to keep up with this Kardashian.
Which male celebrities have the best fashion sense?
David Beckham has great style. George Clooney has an amazing style
too — he’s really handsome, classic and old school, which I love.
You’re currently filming Keeping up with the Kardashians. What
craziness will we see in the next season?
(Laughs) It’s honestly so much craziness. There’s footage of Kim and
Reggie [Bush] and the sides of them that people don’t get to see very
often. There’s footage of my DUI. It’s my sisters and I really coming
into our own and trying to venture out to do different things. For
me it’s fashion.
You’re extremely close to your sisters. Is it hard being away from
one another after a few days, or does it allow some freedom?
It’s actually really hard. We’re so used to spending time with each
other and relying on one another for support. If someone’s tired the
other one picks up the energy. When you’re by yourself it’s harder. But
it’s really good for us to do things on our own and that’s what, I
think, this season is about as well. It’s finding our own and being
comfortable being away from each other.
There’s been tons of buzz about you being a part of Celebrity
Apprentice. Do you care to elaborate?
I haven’t been approached to do it. I haven’t really thought about
it or signed anything. I’m still filming my show and doing a lot of
other things. Plus, I just don’t know if I have time. It’s really up
in the air.
On the show you’re always having fun and you don’t hold back from
saying what’s on you’re mind. Do you think that’s a turn-on for guys?
I think a turn-on for guys is a woman that’s comfortable in her own
skin. — a woman that’s not fake and phony. I don’t apologize for who
I am. I am who I am, and I love it! I’m very comfortable. Either you
love me or hate me. I’m not going to apologize for that or change my
ways to make someone else happy.
MFers are dying to know . . . what is your biggest turn-on?
(Laughs) I love attention. I love someone that can make me laugh. If
I can laugh, I’m yours!
Are your sisters still giving you a hard time about being single?
They are. They always will because they all have boyfriends. I am
dating, but I’m not serious with anyone at the moment. I’m really
trying to focus on finding my niche right now. And once I find
that then I’ll start seriously dating. But I feel like sometimes men
distract you from doing other things and I don’t want to be distracted
right now. (Laughs)
Speaking of dating — what’s a complete deal breaker for you?
You have to be able to laugh at yourself and know how to handle a
strong woman. I’m very strong and opinionated and I’m not going to
change for anyone, so if you can’t handle that then you have got to
go. You’ve got to be a strong individual to be able to handle a girl
like me.
Since this is Men’s Fitness, what’s your favorite part of a man’s body?
(Laughs) Chest and arms! I just like touching them and lying on
them. The upper body is the sexiest part!
Last but not least: With your Armenian background, you’re an exotic
beauty. Why do you think women that are full of diversity drive
men nuts?
Exotic women are beautiful. I love some sort of exoticness in
women. It makes them sexy. Exotic women are very comfortable in their
own skin. They’re curvy and they just embrace themselves. I love
women that embrace their heritage and nationality. It’s the inner
confidence. And they just look so damn hot!
