30 Jul 14 Throwback Photos of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian’s Short Lived Friendship

If you’re able to battle through the shame that pervades your recollections of the Noughties, you’ll realise that there were many things to love about that, er, special moment in time. Personally, I consider Britney and Justin’s double-denim ensemble to be a work of art, best enjoyed whilst listening to the dulcet tones of the Backstreet Boys.

However, I am aware that others tend to focus on the era’s darker aspects. I mean, yes, we used to willingly wear matching velour tracksuits and believed that having razor thin eyebrows made us “attractive”, but in spite of all that, I’m sure that everyone feels some nostalgia towards the decade of sartorial mistakes.

Nothing sums up the Noughties better than the short-lived friendship between two of its biggest icons: Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Arguably the world’s first “influencer”, the blonde and impossibly lithe heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune not only made it acceptable to wear pink from head-to-toe, but turned the Chihuahua dog into a veritable accessory. And when she wasn’t busy starring in the cult television show, The Simple Life, Paris was busy bossing about Kim Kardashian.

Ah, remember the time when Kim wasn’t famous for her ass-ets, selfies and ugly crying face? Me neither, but there is photographic evidence of when Kim Kardashian was nothing more than Paris Hilton’s personal assistant. So let’s look back and reminisce about the time when the name “Kardashian” only faintly rung a bell…

1. Paris and Kim used to enjoy partying together 

2. And texting together 

3. Scratch that, they really liked texting together 

4. Paris had the upper foot in the relationship 

5. She didn’t always let Kim in her pictures, especially when they were with P. Diddy
