Kim Kardashian & Paris Hilton Throwback Photos Are Too Much Fun to Revisit — PHOTOS

Remember The Simple Life? You know, that show that featured two entitled brats being pawned off on unsuspecting "simple" families to work normal jobs and live among mere mortals? Well, now you do. Despite Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's ridiculous antics, the show was super entertaining. I may or may not have season one on DVD (OK, I do). But aside from their show, those two BFFs were total Hollywood "It Girls" and there's a whole bunch of pics to prove it. And surely you remember Kim Kardashian before she was THE Kim Kardashian, right? Oh yes, feast your eyes on all the awkward early to mid-2000s socialite glory.
