Photos: Kimye Celebrate North's 1st Birthday With A 'Kidchella' Festival
Yeezus Christ this is pretty ridiculous.
Kanye West and new bride Kim Kardashian West rang in baby North's first birthday with a crazy-ass 'Kidchella' festival in sister Kourtney's backyard because of course they did. It was complete with a Ferris wheel, two stages for "performances" (though videos only show the Jenner sisters lip-synching), booths for face-painting, and cotton candy machines. Party favors were custom Yeezus t-shirts according to TMZ.
Of course Kidchella wouldn't be complete without cultural insensitivity, which was provided in the form of Khloe Kardashian donning a Native American headdress and the various activity booths set up like teepees.
Happy Birthday North!
