Keeping Up With The Kardashians' Conspicuous Consumption In Paris

Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner jetted off to Paris this month for some quality mother-daughter time. After checking into the Ritz, the reality recruits dashed over to the Louvre, where they snapped pix with Mona Lisa. Berthillon is arguably the best ice cream in Paris, but Kim sucked down a waffle cone stuffed with good ol' Ben & Jerry's instead. What would a trip to Paris be without a little shopping spree? Kim dropped almost $100,000 on seven Hermès purses: six $10,000 Birkin bags and one $30,000 crocodile-skin bag (Um, didn't sis, Khloe, shoot a PETA ad?!?). Leave it to Kim to give new meaning to the term "bag lady."

Following in the Kardashians' Louboutins takes bank. Thanks to the subversive folks at Southpark (Remember how they killed off the Kardashian sisters?), you can win $5,000 pimp cash in the Little Bit of Butters Sweepstakes. It won't cover a Birkin, but you could still have a pleasurable plebian Parisian adventure. What would Butters do? You know he'd wipe his sticky fingers on Kim's Chanel dress and enter!
