The former Olympian and reality star said step-daughter
Kim taught her she should "rock it" every day.Caitlyn Jenner has
revealed the pearls of wisdom passed to her by step-daughter Kim Kardashian
since revealing her gender transition.
The 66-year-old former Olympian has been publicly
documenting her journey since revealing her female self on the front cover of
Vanity Fair last year.
And she has certainly had plenty of advice from those in
the know about how to deal with increasing scrutiny.Caitlyn told The Advocate magazine: "Kimberly
[Kardashian] says, 'If you do go out, you've got to rock it, baby!'"
snapping her fingers.
"You cannot let [the paparazzi] get that picture.
They’ll take a picture of you with no makeup on, lousy outfit — and they’ll use
it forever."You’ll never get rid of it. Kim’s very good at that
stuff. It does take a little bit more work if you do go out. You've got to at
least look good, at least the best you can.”
The I Am Cait star said she had learnt a lot about style
from her famous family members.
She continued: "Now, my family stands out. Love them
to death, but their style is certainly different. And they've packaged it and
sold it extraordinarily well. Better than anybody else in history, let’s be
honest."
But Caitlyn is only too aware that "there's more to
being a woman than hair and makeup".
She continued: "So recently, I've been trying to study
up on it," admitting to reading the book 'How to Be a Woman'.
She said: "The second chapter was about having your
period. OK? I will never deal with that. So there is so much in life that I
need to learn about who I am and be authentic with myself.
"But I never want to assume that this whole thing
called womanhood, that I could ever experience all of that. I will be able to
live authentically as female, but I’ve missed so much.”
Caitlyn also brushed off the label of being a
'spokesperson' for the trans community, admitting that she is learning a lot as
she goes and is "just trying to do my best, that's all."
