Kim Kardashian snapped some nudes, because that's what Snapchat is for

And yet, the modern era's foremost nude selfie artist was absent. Eventually, Snapchat became a medium for all sorts of things, including the news, pretending to be a puppy and savage pop star takedowns.

But Kim Karadashian-West, who finally joined earlier this year, is here to remind us what we came for.
