The search for Kim Kardashian's biggest fan is over -- because if this 23-year-old man from England doesn't win that honor, no one should. Jordan James Parke has spent $150,000 on plastic surgery, Botox, lip enhancers, laser hair removal, and eyebrow tattoos so that he can look just like Kim. And he has spent countless more money on designer clothing and furs to look every inch the glamour puss. While the makeup artist is getting tons of flack for his beauty and style decisions, his look is actually all kinds of amazing.
Parke is apparently obsessed with celebrities and even has a tattoo of Miley Cyrus on his arm. When it comes down to who he believes is the fairest in the land, Kim obviously wins the title. And to honor her, he has more or less turned himself into his icon. Let's have a look:
The focus here really is on Kim's bee-stung lips, isn't it? But aside from her pucker, Parke expertly copied the star's eyebrows and contouring tricks -- hey, he's a makeup artist, remember? And he's wisely using his face to advertise his talents. Here's another shot of Parke perfecting the Kardashian selfie post:
Folks who are slamming Parke for not really looking like Kim are kind of missing the point. His aim was to look even more like Kim than Kim herself -- and he succeeded. His look is a statement -- about celebrity and about our fascination with celebrity. Everything about his style is over-the-top, which makes for a much more interesting kind of beauty than some of the standard versions of beauty that we're bombarded by each day.

We've all become so serious about being pretty that we sometimes lose sight of the fact that we aren't debating our relations with Cuba -- we're talking lip size and eyelashes. I'm assuming (I hope) this gentleman has enough money to both pay his mortgage and cover his beauty procedures and expensive handbags, but as long as he does, he isn't hurting anyone. Do whatever is in your means to make yourself happy with your appearance in the little time you have to spend on Earth. Why not?
Give me Parke and his honestly when it comes to the work he has had done over some others whom we hear fib about their plastic surgery ANY day.
What do you think of this man's expensive cosmetic procedures to look like Kim Kardashian?
