KIM KARDASHIAN convincingly put her somber face on and told everyone she’ll “get through it” and possibly “get away in the near future” to be by herself for some “me” time. Of course wearing drab and subdued clothing that didn’t reveal any hint of skin below her neck or above her knees helped, as well…

Also lending an assist during her visit to Sydney, Australia to promote the Kardashian Klan’s line of handbags were Kim‘s sister Khloe and Khloe‘s husband Lamar Odom, who provided a light counterpoint to Kim‘s projection of doom and gloom. Lamar was positively giggly, and Khloe glammed it up with a bright red skirt and matching lipstick…

Earlier that day, the sisters appeared on Australia’s “Sunrise” morning show where Kim revealed she didn’t want to bail on her commitments despite the tough time she’s going through.

“I really wanted to stick with my commitment to come out here to Australia,”

Kim explained, nary a hint of her signature seductive smile cracking on her heavily made-up face.

“I love our fan base out here. Of course, I do want some time to myself and it’s a really tough thing to go through, but I didn’t want to bail on everyone and skip out on this commitment. I just have Khloé and [Lamar Odom] here with me and, you know, we’re getting through it. That’s really all I can do.”

Khloe provided just the right touch of back-up, sitting to the right and just behind her sister, as if ready to catch her if fragile Kim swooned.

“I’m really proud of Kim for not just bailing and canceling,”

declared the usually caustic Khloé,

“’cause this is a really hard time for her. Here, we have such amazing fans, but still, it’s not getting away. You still have the paparazzi and everything here, so she’s being really strong. And Lamar and I are here to be her support at this time.”

Did the sisters talk about their Australia-exclusive Kardashian Kollection handbag line they were on the show to supposedly promote. Perhaps a couple of words or two, but mostly Kim talked about herself and what she was going through, and…

“Of course, I do want that time to be with myself and close friends and family. I don’t think you ever prepare yourself for when the right time is, so I will get that time somewhere in the near future.”

Oh, wait…isn’t that time always in the here and now? After all, Kim‘s always surrounded by family, and she’s always getting “me” time in front of the the cameras wherever she goes. And perhaps that’ll be enough to serve as therapy to get her smile and figure-hugging couture back in no time at all…
