Kimora Joins HIGHLY Exclusive Club

"One millllion followers."

When I started following Kimora Lee Simmons on Twitter, after I'd been following an impostor for a little while, I think she had about 90,000 followers.  I remember thinking, "Gosh, she should have far more supporters than this on this thing."  If my memory also serves me correctly, I started following her not very long before she and Baby Phat parted ways.  Maybe a few months before.  I think Baby Phat had over 100,000 followers at the time.  My how things have changed.

Today, Kimora broke the highly coveted one million follower milestone. From a January 16, 2012 TechVibes.com article:

According to my research, there are nearly 700 Twitter users with one million or more followers—691 at the time of writing this, although someone new enters the club about twice a week these days. The most recently added member is actress Christina Applegate, and rapper Lupe Fiasco looks poised to be number 692. This club represents about 0.00003% of total users, so it's a very exclusive membership.

 Hell yeah it's exclusive! Not even a full percentage point. Not even a half percentage point.  It is, indeed, the sh*t.  Kimora interacts with her followers quite often every week, so hit that "Follow" button and watch her work her magic!  I checked Baby Phat's Twitter to see how they're holding up....not good. Barely over 90,000. Just stagnate, except for losing thousands of followers since Kimora left.  What idiots these guys are.  You should have never allowed Kimora to get away Kellwood.  I've been going easy on you in recent months as I've been spending more time promoting Kimora's other ventures, namely JustFabulous, which is launching Avril Lavigne's Abbey Dawn Collection tomorrow and Shinto Clinical by Kimora Lee Simmons -- her new skin care line which launched only weeks ago on QVC.  But, you are still on my radar and the day that you announce that Baby Phat is going out of business will be one of the happiest days of my life.  And, let's be honest here, we all know that day is not very far away. --Sugar

You have to do yourself a favor and read Devorah Rose's Social Life Magazine feature article on Kimora Lee Simmons. It's one of the best articles I've read, of the many that have been published over the past several months, about Kimora. Take this for instance (from the article):

Do you recall the tale of how Athena sprung from the cranium of Zeus? Well, if a tsunami were birthed from a volcano in a similar manner, then imprisoned in the body of a Disney princess, the result would be the tumultuous and beautiful predicament that is Kimora Lee Simmons.

A fan-TASTIC introduction! Rose talks about Kimora's savvy as a businesswoman, including the fact that she helped the Phat Fashions empire gross over $850,000,000 in retail sales before moving on, and Kimora's present and future projects. I had to type all of the zeroes in order to drive the point home about the sales numbers. Over 850 MILLION dollars! Is there any wonder why she doesn't ever sleep?!

Head over to Kimora's website, http://www.kls.com/ and read the full article and take a look at the photographs taken during the shoot for the spread. What I think isn't emphasized nearly enough in these articles is how young Kimora is considering she's doing all of this ass kicking! She has barely scratched the surface of the plethora of ideas and possibilities brewing inside that head of hers. It is a revolution that I'm so pleased to be witnessing. And, I absolutely meant revolution. Evolution isn't a word quite strong enough to describe what this woman is about to do to the fashion world. You'd be wise to keep a close eye on her too. Who knows when we'll see something this fantastic again. Super nova. --Sugar
