It should be noted that Baroness Audrey- a former fashion model & Givenchy favorite- was quite proud of the fact that (her pregnancies excepted) she never weighed more than 106 pounds.

Quite a few threads lately on Raleigh's, roadster's and of course celeb's. So I think its appropriate to see Elvis sporting the 'hound dog bike' (1959):

Oy! I almost wonder if the 'mechanic' did that intentionally, by way of wry commentary.

I'm sure her publicist thought it up. Better scrub that saddle before it goes back to the rental agency.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anything related to that clan that wasn't... The cans in the basket are quite likely 'placed' products; the bike itself is most likely a prop brought in by the photographer.

Agreed- anyone who loved bikes wouldn't have allowed something like that. Nor put tires on with the valve stems all crooked.

Not to mention the presence of those reflectors on such a vintage looking machine. They just look out of place here.

I've got to hand it to the photographer, though. That is just about the most tasteful and dignified photo of a Kardashian I've ever seen (whichever Kardashian that might be there).

I guess a bicycle just makes everything a little bit better.
