If imitation is truly the sincerest form of flattery, then Kim Kardashian should be glowing right now for another reason besides her pregnancy. U.K.’s Mirror is reporting that Thalia Almodovar, a transgender woman from New York, has spent over $100,000 to turn herself into the most notorious member of the Kardashian clan.
Although Almodovar transitioned in her teens, it wasn’t until she enhanced her breasts and backside through surgery in her early 20s that people began saying she bared a striking resemblance to the reality television star, who recently became the most followed person on Instagram. “I couldn’t see it at first but then I embraced it,” said the 28-year-old make-up artist. Eventually, the case of mistaken identity got her preferential treatment in nightclubs and restaurants and also led to strangers wanting to take photos with her.
So what’s the breakdown of the cost for keeping up with a Kardashian? Thalia has spent over $75,000 on cosmetic procedures including a butt augmentation to give her Kim’s signature derrière. She receives collagen injections every six months to help maintain full pouty lips that are similar to Kim K’s. In addition, Almodovar also spends upwards of $30,000 on wardrobe and shoes to keep her fashion style on par with Mrs. West.
Now that she has transformed herself into Kim’s doppelgänger, Thalia has set her sights on two goals — she is currently exploring the possibility of becoming a professional lookalike and would like to find love. The latter is proving to be challenging since she admits that sometimes men have approached her solely because of her Kardashian-esque beauty.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I had this guy that dated me only because he had an obsession with Kim,” lamented the trans beauty. “I’m single now so I’m on the lookout for my own Kanye.”

LOL. I suppose that if it’s his money, he can spend it on anything he likes, including expensive surgery.
I just think that Kim Kardashian would be the last person that I would want to look like. Ewwwww.

She looks great but does she have to dress like KK too? Trashy.
Arcamenel
She’s beautiful and I hope she’s happy as she is.

Delusional.

It *is* a really good likeness. But yeah, very…odd….choice. And I hope she does better than Kanye unless MAJOR ASSHOLES are her thing.

She does look a lot more like Kim K than most people we’ve heard about who get surgery to look like celebrities.
Like others, I’d question why she would want Kim K as her muse, but if she’s happy, it’s money well spent.

Why would you try to mirror the likeness of someone who won’t even look like themselves in 5 years due to all of the plastic surgery and fillers? Not to mention, she will need to give that body constant maintenance… I’m guessing she has money or has married or will marry well.
With that said, that is probably the best Kim Kardashian lookalike I’ve seen.

Idiot.

Actually, with all the plastic surgery Kim has had, she kind of has that awkward trans look herself. Easy to see why an MtF would want to mimic her, and of course it’s a validation thing too. Telling an MtF he looks like a female celeb is like asking a real woman “have you lost weight?”

@Brian: HE ? I think you need a lesson in pronouns !

Sad that anyone would want to look like a low life piece of trash like Kim Kardashian, lets hope she gets more surgery soon, and looks like herself rather than trying to be someone else, Kim Kardashian is just shallow and nasty.

Would have made a better Dawn Davenport

Anyone want to place bets on when she’ll check into Motel 6 to OD? Too soon?

LMAO!!!! What a crazy guy, I guess it must be nice to just have $100,000 to spend on whatever you want.

@Clark35:
More likely it’s mostly borrowed.

You do NOT get to judge the TransCelebrity community, sh!tlords. It is never OK for a CisCeleb person (a non-celebrity who does not identify as a celebrity) to define the identity of a TransCeleb person. Being Kim Kardashian is not a matter of having a parent named Kardashian or having Kardashian DNA. It’s what you feel inside. I speak from experience because I, Jacob23, have identified since childhood as that guy who played Gordo on Lizzie McGuire.
Anyway, you gay folk and you may be wondering what on Earth it has to do with you, but give it a few months and we’ll be added to the LGBTQQIAAPNGC+ community and then you’ll be obligated to take up the banner of the TransCeleb cause.

What a bunch of judgy queens you all are… I know it’s the internet, but seriously, what gives?!
She’s a make-up artist, promoting herself by capitalizing on one of the most worldwide well-known celebs, who happens to be known for capitalizing on her own self-image. And she looks great… so what’s the problem?

I find it sad that a lot of gay men and trans women spend so much money on plastic surgery either to look like a celebrity or just completely change their appearance to the point they don’t even look real. I imagine it’s more about an identity crisis than it is about bettering their appearance. I will say though that she does look a lot like Kim and it doesn’t look too bad. However I’m sure photoshop has done the majority of the work. Plus, why would anyone want to look like that monstrosity?
Also, where are these people getting all this money? I’d imagine a makeup artist isn’t making 100k. Well, I guess she must be getting some work on the side.

We shall call her Krazee Kardashian. I’m sure she’ll fit right in.
