The hot new trend among celebrities in and around Kim Kardashian’s orbit is developing custom emoji keyboards for smartphones. By “trend,” of course, I mean “three famous people have done this recently,” and those people are Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose, and Angela “Blac Chyna” Kardashian.
For the most part, Angela’s Chymojis (released on Mother’s Day) feel derivative of the two that presumably inspired them—Kim’s Kimojis and Amber’s Muvamojis. There are emoting faces, illustrated versions of her most memorable moments, and plenty of tea-sipping. But beyond the options we’ve come to expect from custom emoji keyboards of Kardashian and Kardashian-adjacent celebrities—and even bizarre, though recognizable, additions like Psy and the Chloe meme—the Chymoji app include several that have brought me to a head-scratching standstill. In what scenario would I use them? And, more importantly, would my intended meaning even be understood by the recipient?
I’ve done my best to figure out the following Chymojis. Please me know if you think my interpretations are accurate.
1. Angela Kardashian for Mayor of Calabasas:
Use as a Response To: “As someone who has only driven through Calabasas twice (both times while screaming, ‘Look! We’re in Calabasas!’), I’m far too unfamiliar with the city’s needs to know who I should support in its mayoral race. Who do YOU think I should vote for?”
2. Rob Holding Angela’s Breasts:
Use as a Response To: “What are you NOT doing right now?”
