Though most only get the chance to #BreaktheInternet with oiled nudes once, Kim is going for two-time winning streak within a space of a few months. The full frontal image from LOVE magazine's February issue has surfaced, and it's considerably less grotesque than the bare butt photo that already leaked. Instead, it's much more intentionally pretty (thanks to her posture, the oil, the open fur coat), but Kim does have geeky spectacles on. And still, that's not all. Kendall Jenner participated in the stripped down photoshoot, posing topless in Balenciaga shorts. Let's see how momager Kris Instagram promotes this one.

Update: Stylist and LOVE fashion director Panos Yiapanis told Style.com that the fake boobs were achieved with silicon prosthetics. The concept behind the shoot, which included Caroline Trentini in addition to Kendall, explained:
I kind of wanted to question how valid [this obsession with a new body shape] is for designers, whether it's just a stunt or if it's a true shift. We're so accustomed to the shape that's been on the runway for the past 20 years that I don't know how honest this new, more curvaceous figure is as an intention. It seems a bit like a publicity stunt. So I wanted to overdo it, and when Katie [Grand] told me that she was going to shoot Kim [Kardashian West], I thought this was the perfect chance to do this idea that I'd been wanting to do. A lot of designers seem to be courting people like Kim, but at the same time the clothes that they make still don't really fit that body, unless they're custom-made. There's a slight insincerity to that.
