She may
have one of the most enviable figures in the business, but it appears
Kim Kardashian has began corset training to further slim down her tiny
waist.
The
social media queen posted a photo of herself wearing a bright purple
corset to Instagram on Thursday, looking very reminiscent of Australia's
own selfie-obsessed serial Instagrammer Gabi Grecko.
Perhaps
the much younger girlfriend of former billionaire Geoffrey Edelsten,
71, who is striving to achieve a 16-inch waist, could have a word or two
of advice for the famous Kardashian sister.

training: Kim Kardashian was reminiscent of Australia's corset-wearing
beauty Gabi Grecko (right) when she posed a photo of herself in a purple
corset to Insatgram on Thursday
Gabi,
24, wears a corset for a minimum seven hours a day to shrink her middle
- which originally spanned 21 inches (53cm) - and even told Daily Mail
Australia she sleeps in it every night.
While
it is unlikely Kim will go so far with her training, she captioned her
social media snap with the hashtags: 'hourglass', 'waist training', 'no
photoshopnecessary' and 'whatawaist.com'.
The
practice, also known as 'tightlacing', involves women wearing
increasingly restrictive clothes with the aim of whittling down their
waistlines.
Gabi and Kim aren't the first to use a corset for extreme body shaping.
