Kim Kardashian as taken to her blog to respond to the untouched photos of her have emerged.

As we reported yesterday, Complex magazine's website mistakenly carried a pre-Photoshopped shot of the reality TV star before switching it for the picture-perfect airbrushed version – but not before the image of her mottled thighs was circulated online.

We knew it would only be a matter of time, and, true to form, Kim is capitalising on the bonus publicity with a blog post saying how “proud” she is of her body.

She writes:

“Everyone has been putting up these pics from Complex Magazine showing the comparison of the original un-photoshopped photo that mistakenly was put up on complex.com.Complex later replaced the pic with the photoshopped version, causing all of this drama. But you know what, who cares!

So what: I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesn't!?

How many people do you think are photoshopped? It happens all the time!
 
...I'm proud of my body and my curves and this picture coming out is probably helpful for everyone to see that just because I am on the cover of a magazine doesn't mean I'm perfect.”
