Do you ever scroll through Kim Kardashian‘s Instagram and pause to ponder just how she might have come to be lying half-naked in a pile of dirt with a photographer conveniently positioned nearby?
Aussie comedian Celeste Barber became obsessed with questions like this, so she created the #celestechallengeaccepted hashtag, to recreate some of the ‘candid’ celebrity snaps that assail social media feeds daily.
Barber – you might know her from the ABC’s How Not To Behave – has been flawlessly taking the piss out of celebrity Instagram posts ever since, with everyone from Kim to Justin Bieber and Miranda Kerr in her sights.
In a recent interview with the ABC, Barber said that she’s not trying to cut her subjects down to size, but instead, is just trying to have a laugh with the project.
“I’m very pro-woman. I don’t want to be bashing people like Kim K, I actually think ‘good on her’”, she said. “I think she is a smart business woman. She has a brand and her brand is her arse and it’s a good one.”
“From hailing a cab like J-Lo to beachside yoga sessions – I want to see if I can live like the privileged, rich and famous,” she continued. You can see some of the results below, and even more on Barber’s Instagram.
