KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN – POOSH
THE oldest Kardashian sister’s risqué website includes guides such as, “Is revenge sex ever worth it?”.
Kourtney, 43, said: “Healthy living gets a bad rap; it’s as though if you care about what you put in, or on, your body, then you’re not cool.”
NICK’S VERDICT: “Kourtney and her sisters have made a fortune convincing the world they need to Keep Up with them, so a website telling you how to ‘live your best life’ was the obvious next step.
“But it’s the Kardashians, so it’s going to Kost you.”
WHAT YOU CAN BUY: Pearled thong, £125; Arc G Spot vibrator, £95.
