Kim Kardashian‘s new emojis may include an animated Kim dancing on a stripper pole but surprisingly the new update has been applauded for ‘empowering women’.

Not only has Kim updated her app – which broke the Apple App Store on it’s release – with Valentine’s Day inspired emojis she’s also added some images celebrating sexual health.

The new birth control pill and tampon are not something you would normally find an emoji of but site Bustle applauded the star for not shying away from ‘normally taboo topics’.

“I’m not even kidding. KimKardashian’s KIMOJI update is surprisingly empowering,” said one fan on Twitter, while another added: “There’s a tampon kimoji, f***in iconic.”

Kim, 35, has also included some very saucy emojis which other fans have gone into meltdown over, including an animated women dancing in fur.

While another shows off her dollar bills by flipping cash like it’s going out of fashion.

One said: “God bless Kimoji for finally blessing me with the tampon emoji of my heart and dreams!!!!”

Another said of the update: “The kimoji update is life.”

Another said along with a GIF of a dancing Kimoji: “love the #kimoji update!”

Read more reaction below.

Quite a lot of fans have called for the emojis to be available on Twitter, but because they are simply images they’re not compatible despite Kim’s requests.

The mum-of-two’s app update is bringing a strong game by launching more customised ‘Kimojis’, some of which are NSFW and haven’t won over everyone.

Kim launched her first collection just over a month ago, but has now added to the batch and they are only for those above the age of 17.

Seriously.

The new collection is fiery and even includes animated graphics or KIMOGIFs.

One shows a woman, who looks like Kim slapping one of her sisters with a bag, another handing out money and another pole-dancing.

There’s another of the brunette dancing in white lingerie, and black as well – depending on your mood.

Kim goes even further with a pair of boobs covered by a black bar and nipple covers.

She’s also taken over love hearts – like the sweets – with her NSFW slogans like ‘Baby d***’, ‘Zero f***s’, and ‘Just the tip’. Also a request to ‘send nudes’.

Her family including mum Kris Jenner and sister Khloe, 31, have shared the promo video for the Kimojis to give you a taste of what’s in store.

Khloe and her potty mouth wrote: “Shut the f*** up!! Get your free Kimoji update!! They are animated now!!!! It’s wild!!”

Momager Kris, 60, kept it PG as she wrote: “These are hilarious, @kimkardashian!!! #kimoji.”

Following the release of her first batch in December, Kim faced a slight backlash when they wouldn’t even work.

Following the launch, Mirror Celebs downloaded the app to try it out and we were SO excited to use a range of Kimojis – from the little black manicured nails picture to the tiny Yeezus jacket and champagne flute balancing on Kim’s bottom.

But were left disappointed like the rest of her fans when we realised you have to copy and paste the emojis into a message and they DON’T WORK in Whatsapp or on Facebook or Twitter. So really, what is the point?

One fan predicted: “Is the Kimoji app just another rubbish one where you have to copy paste them though?!”

Another wrote: “Just spend $1.99 on the kimoji app and IT DOESN’T EVEN WORK.”

Instagram

Following the Kimoji meltdown, she wrote: “We worked so hard on this app we know there are some issues due to the massive downloads that the whole tech team is so working on!

“My Kimoji app will be up and running again soon! They are also working on fixing the search so u can easily find it!”

Sleepy Hollow Recap: Mirror, Mirror

Conspiracy theories abound, people. I’ve got wackadoo questions, far-fetched hypotheses, and other cray-cray whatnots whiz-banging around my brain. This stuff is important. This stuff informs our beloved characters’ choices … or do the choices actually inform our characters? Either way, attention must be paid.

For example: How has Crane been feeding himself since Abbie vanished into the tree of life? He’s clearly picked up no culinary know-how in that gap of time, seeing as he attempts to prepare dinner by dropping a frozen brick of lasagna into a frying pan. Then he walks away, off to fetch runaway lingerie — side note: what was that all about? Crane still has Abbie’s unmentionables lying about? — encounter a strange mirror demon, and suddenly come to hours later, after apparently resting on said mirror (another wuh? moment).

I’m sure you were all wondering what I was: What happened to the lasagna? HOW IS THE HOUSE NOT BURNED TO THE GROUND?!

I’m trolling Sleepy Hollow right now. (He turned off the stove before he left the kitchen.) I’m trolling it because so little that actually happened in this episode gave me any jolt of excitement. I believe I’ve used this hacky joke once before when recapping a particular episode I disliked, but I’m double-dipping because it’s apt: This episode of Sleepy Hollow is both sleepy and hollow.

It’s been a month since Abbie’s teleportation to a place Crane states is Hades, and he’s driving himself ragged trying to figure a way to summon her back to this mortal coil. His latest stunt, which involves motorcycling off with an ancient jug, seems to get him nowhere. Jenny and Joe tell him to relax, although they’re doing their own bit of scheming to find Abbie with a magical map. Meanwhile, Agent Foster is tailing Crane as a person of interest in Abbie’s disappearance, and then both of them are creepily contacted by a stock-horror-flick girl in a nightgown. As per usual, this culminates with our demon-fighting duo executing a failsafe plan to banish the demon back to the dimension from whence it came … except this time, the duo is Crane and Foster.

Given all that, here’s my next conspiracy theory: The script for “One Life” was just another Sleepy Hollow procedural episode that somehow wound up in the reject pile, but for unknown reasons, it got pressed into service as a midseason premiere even though it offers next to nothing in the way of plot advancement, surprise, or anything else one might hope for in a midseason premiere. Abbie’s obviously not around, so they just executed a find-and-replace function to give Foster all of Abbie’s lines. Whenever Abbie’s dialogue didn’t seem like something that would realistically come out of Foster’s mouth, it was delegated to Crane, who’d introduce it with, “If the leftenant were here, I believe she’d say…”

Then to round the episode out, they tacked on a worthless, wordless epilogue that shows Abbie waking up in another dimension. Where? When? Has she been knocked out for a month? Is she just regaining consciousness now? Or is this just taking a lil’ catnap in another purgatory? (Abbie’s a purgatory frequent flyer, that’s for sure.) Criticize my sarcasm if you wish, but like Crane’s jug or Jenny’s liquid-channeling map, you can’t say it doesn’t hold water.

“One Life” also contains a meager storyline for Pandora and her husband, if only to provide a catalyst for the mirror demon to show up. (I won’t dwell on it, but did anyone else notice the resemblance between Shannyn Sossamon and Vanessa Hudgens? I’ve still got Grease: Live on the brain, I guess.) Anyway, Pandora’s husband is miffed at her for somehow screwing up his chance at a dream life — which was what, exactly? — and tells her, “Because of your inadequacies, we now hide like slaves.” That was way harsh, Tai. More importantly, one of the joys of Sleepy Hollow has been watching Sossamon play with all of Pandora’s delightfully nutty disguises (Techno Clubbing Pandora, Nurse Ratched Pandora, FBI Agent Pandora — collect them all!), so it’s a big letdown that she only portrays the harrumphed-upon wife this week. I hope this isn’t a new trend.

And then there were the gratuitous shots of Nikki Reed’s ample bosom — erm, sorry. What I meant to say was: And then there were the faithfully recreated historical flashbacks.

“What do the flashbacks have to do with this?” I jotted in my notes with all of six-ish minutes left in the episode, after we’d seen Nathan Hale almost mess up a spy mission, then definitely mess up a different spy mission, then get hanged while Crane and Betsy Ross passively watch. Apparently, I had to wait until after Hale’s death to get my answer. “He was our partner and we just let him die,” Crane says. “Not all partners will survive,” Betsy tells him. “The best you can do is continue your mission.” M’kay … except we then see that Abbie has survived, and it’s not like anyone’s gonna watch this show without her, so … can we have her back, please? As my viewing partner declared out loud, verbatim, while we watched “One Life” together, “It’s getting harder and harder to care about this show. It’s getting boring.”

Favorite Crane-isms:

Crane: “Contrary to accounts in colonial pamphlets, British soldiers are not stupid.”

Crane: “I could use a little rest-spite.” [Ed.: I’ll be pronouncing “respite” as such from now on.]

Crane: “I believe if the leftenant were here, she would urge us to kick some demon ass.” [Ed.: A good Crane-ism, even if it played into my above-mentioned conspiracy theory.]

Foster: “You were catfished.”
Crane: “If that means I was duped … then yes.”
