PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian Interviews Liz Taylor For Bazaar

Kim Kardashian is shameless. But it works, you know? The girl certainly manages to get some ridiculous covers and now she can count Harper’s Bazaar among her many glossy trophies. They even let her interview her idol Elizabeth Taylor for their March issue. Oh yeah, and she dressed up like her too.

Kim asked some interesting questions, so let’s just get down to it. First of all, like we said, the girl is shameless:

KK: You have always been ahead of your time—and now you’re on Twitter. What do you love about it? And [cheekily] will you please follow me?

ET: I like the connection with fans and people who have been supportive of me. And I love the idea of real feedback and a two-way street, which is very, very modern. But sometimes I think we know too much about our idols and that spoils the dream. So, like all things, it is to be used with care! Yes, of course I’ll follow you, love.

Shameless, but honest:

KIM KARDASHIAN: You are my idol. But I’m six husbands and some big jewels behind. What should I do?

ELIZABETH TAYLOR: I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else. I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things. But I have never felt more alive than when I watched my children delight in something, never more alive than when I have watched a great artist perform, and never richer than when I have scored a big check to fight AIDS. Follow your passion, follow your heart, and the things you need will come.

And then she kind of (awesomely) gets told by Liz:

KK: For this story, we were inspired by Cleopatra. What’s your advice on how to be a queen?

ET: I have never wanted to be a queen! Cleopatra was a role, and I am an actor, so it was fun to play one, but it’s not real. The real Cleopatra had an incredibly complicated life, and she had to be very, very canny to survive as long as she did. For me, the most interesting thing about her was her passion. The things that are important to me—being a mother, a businesswoman, an activist—are all things that were borne out of great passion.
