With the release of her KKW Body fragrance and that bottle, I'm pretty sure I've examined Kim Kardashian's naked body more closely than I have ever examined my own.

You see not only did Kim literally turn her iconic curves into a perfume bottle, but the marketing campaign for her latest fragrance mainly revolved around Kim sharing a hell of a lot of naked pictures of herself on Instagram.

We took a mold of my body and made it a perfume bottle. @kkwfragrance

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Apr 24, 2018 at 2:14pm PDT

Now this is not the first time we've seen Kim 'nakey, nakey, nakey' but with the current tally at 11 nearly nude Instagram pictures for her fragrance alone, it seems the onslaught may never end.

One person who wants to share a different narrative to Kim Kardashian's 'perfect body' is body positivity activist Carmen Rene.

Carmen aka eatthecaketoo has a YouTube channel where she offers advice on managing lymphedema (a chronic condition that causes swelling in the body's tissues) as well as using her Instagram to promote body acceptance.

And for her latest post, Carmen chose to recreate one of the many images of Kim's naked body used for her fragrance campaign.

"One of these bodies, a large part of our society will deem as “perfect". My body is empowered by the opportunity to share a different reality. PERFECT: “having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be.” Stop striving to be perfect because guess what, you are there! What a beautiful definition. Today, at this very moment my body is as good as it possibly can be. I can’t change it today, and tomorrow it may be different, it will still be perfect. There is no body better than the next. There is no one body that is “perfect”. There is your body, unique, worthy, desirable and perfect. All body’s are good bodies"

I don't know about you but I know which body I can relate to, which is why I have so much respect for people like Carmen who put themselves out there so the rest of us can feel a little less alone.
