Oh those Kardashian sisters, could they be any more popular? I was one of those who hoped they might have their 15 minutes of fame and then fade away into obscurity. Why the heck are so many people interested in them?

As a sports fan, the most interesting about these buxom beauties (besides their buxom beauty) is their connection to sports figures. First, their step-father is US Olympic Decathlon champion and the face of Wheaties cereal Bruce Jenner. The sisters have dated numerous professional athletes including New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush and los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom.

So, how are they involved in theft? The Kardashians are into many different things including clothing and other accessories, namely handbags. A fellow designer, Monica Botkier, has accused the sisters of stealing designs for their Kardashian Kollection handbags.

I have to admit I do not feel good about giving these publicity mongers any more ink, but this may paint them in a negative light. Botkier is accusing the sisters of stealing the design of the “Botkier Clyde” purse.

Kardashians Fight Back

No one has ever accused the Kardashian sisters of rolling over! They have fought the claim on three fronts – all of which are equally comical.

First, they have not yet received a cease and desist letter. Second, their potential-copycat bag was “independently created” and is not yet available for public consumption (or “we just licensed our name out, so our hands are clean, and since the bag wasn’t available anyway, it will make it more difficult for you to sue us”). Finally, they are pointing fingers and saying that Botkier’s a thief too .

Long story short, Sears is not taking any chances and already has removed the bag from its website.
