Librarians Attempt A Kardashian-Inspired Photoshoot, And The Result Is Even Better Than The Original
Marking the first decade of their TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the family has posed for the cover of Hollywood Reporter. After seeing it, these librarians decided it would be funny to somehow channel it with a library spin. “To celebrate, our social media team decided to have a totally impromptu, definitely not planned, photo-shoot.” the staff of Invercargill City Libraries and Archives (New Zealand) wrote in their Facebook post.
“We picked that photo to spoof because it’s iconic and also we thought how funny would that look with ordinary people in it,” Bonnie Mager, the library’s digital and communications manager told BuzzFeed. “We decided the boys needed to be in the most sexualized positions, for both humor and to show how silly it would be to pose males like that,” Mager said. “The girls just went with who had the most accurate clothing to match those people.”
Their post has accumulated over 8,000 likes in just a few days, and for their tiny Facebook page, the numbers are crazy. Major publishing companies are covering the parody, and their readers have clearly made up their mind who wore it better. “I’d prefer to see the Librarians,” one commenter said. “The librarians win this,” concluded another.

It has been 10 years since the Kardashians first graced our screens
To “celebrate” that, a team of librarians has decided to replicate Hollywood Reporter’s cover in “a totally impromptu, definitely not planned, photo-shoot”
The staff of Invercargill City Libraries and Archives (New Zealand) seem like the best team ever
Some people, however, had their doubts about this photo-shoot
But most were delighted Invercargill City Libraries and Archives did something out of the ordinary
I would love to work with people who have this sense of fun and humor!
Great sense of humor! The Kardashians really do look like gormless idiots on that cover...
haha I'm an American who just learned the word gormless from reading Harry Potter.
Load More Replies...2 of those are not even Kardashians but Jenner, why do they not care? Oh cause they are ALL made-up, fake, good for nothing, attention-seeking junkies. The botox and knife have gone too far with this family. Get brain surgeries, women, your physical appearances cannot withstand any more procedures....
Librarians are the coolest group of people you wouldn't think were necessarily cool. At my local library they did a post last year that said, "show us your tattoo and we'll recommend a book inspired by it" and the recos were not obvious-- e.g. owl tattoo, book about owls. I heart librarians
Librarians bring value, knowledge, and love of books. And, have you ever been around a librarian? They have that wonderful smell of Old Book.
Nicole Arbour(comedian) said that the Kardashians sold their soul to the devil, but the ones who have to pay are the men who date them
Would love to hang out at this library with these people - funny and REAL. Not plastic, fake and vapid like the "K's" - the only thing they know about books is Kim's book of selfies! What kind of a person publishes a book of selfies, anyway??
Go Invergargill library staff - you are awesome! I love your ironic take on things - much better than the Kartrashians.
Librarians rock to begin with, as does New Zealand. Put the two together with a sense of humor and I am so totally a fan!!!!! Thank you! I am ready to leave my beloved California for down under. 💟💓💟💓💟
With the librarians, you have an excellent chance at an intelligent conversation after all the other stuff is done.
Librarians ROCK! This is the best ever....far, far better than the original! Thank you soooo much for the smile you shared with me today! You have fans in Montreal!
I vote Librarians over Kartrashians. Librarians promote literacy (I highly doubt ANY of the Kartrashian clan can read) & while most libraries house "The Joy of Sex" in their Health section, I shudder to think of Kim Kartrashian, legs happily splayed, knees up to the ceiling, spine arched, smiling gleefully (if inanely) for the camera (and her pimp of a mother) as the star of her very own sex tape. (I hope Kanye steps in & rescues North from a life of certain whoredom...("No daughter of mine is going to sprawl--" ONE CAN ONLY HOPE..){sigh} The librarians seem much classier...
think the real story here is who is that smoking hot redhead, give her a show!
