Kim Kardashian Nude Photo Shoot Leads to Big Sales for Mexican Business Owner
Kim Kardashian was only supposed to Break the Internet with her revealing Paper Magazine cover, but now, she's shaking up a town in Mexico.
Dalton Javier Ramirez Avalos, owner of Piñatería Ramirez, has created a piñata that looks very much like Kardashian on the cover of Paper, notes El Economista.
The creation has become a bestseller in Tamaulipas, and it's received a lot of attention on social media. On Ramirez's Facebook page, he continues to post links to articles that have covered his new piñata.
Ramirez told Publimetro that he thought of creating the piñata because of the controversial nature of the cover. Though normal piñatas can take hours to put together, the Kardashian one can take up to two weeks.
It's not the first time Ramirez taps into pop culture for his work. He has also been inspired by Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Normally, Ramirez and his family would sell about 10 piñatas a week, but now the company is getting phone calls from people everywhere. He created the piñata for bachelor parties, but it seems everyone wants a piece of Kim Kardashian.
"They are even being requested for the Posadas," he said about the pre-Christmas celebration that takes place in Mexico.
Piñatería Ramirez is a family business. Ramirez is the one behind the most time-consuming creations, which can cost $100. His brother works on the smaller ones, which cost about $40. Their sister does all the painting. Their parents retired five years ago.
Ramirez said he was happy that he was bringing positive attention to Reynosa, which is a city in Tamaulipas. It is more often in the news because of violence or drug trafficking.
"Reynosa is a very violent border," he said. "we are pleased that our city is providing something positive this time."
