Kim is living like a nun after Paris heist and reinventing her blingtastic image...

Well when i read this article in the Afternoon Today,it blew my mind and to think that i was feeling bad for her sef. She and her mommy ehn...

It's been less than three weeks since armed robbers busted into Kim Kardashian exclusive Paris apartment, tied her up in her marble bathtub and ran off with $11 million in jewelry - including her diamond engagement ring.

Word on the Street revealed that she is, in fact spending her time off working out how to use the shocking incident as grist for a major overhaul of her image.

Kim has only been spotted three times since the Oct. 3 incident - one when she left Paris and then when she arrived and left Manhattan - which is unusual for the mom of 2.

Kim is currently lying low at her mom's sprawling mansion in the exclusive Calabasas suburb of LA.Kim is now planning to emerge reinvented.

That means setting aside the  bling, the revealing outfits and the outrageous magazine covers, and focusing instead on a lower-key look and charity work, the source said.

Kim is going to be throwing her efforts at producing a more conservative - even holier - look, the source explained.

Kim's 'momager' Kris Jenner is of course providing Kim with advice, in particular on how to present herself after the robbery a close family source said; 

'Her mother told her she needs to portray it that she's a little bit more traumatized by it than she really was because it will incite more public sympathy for her.

'The longer that she stays away, the more compassion the fans will have for her and the more excited they will be about her comeback,' the family friend revealed.

 The source also dismissed reports that Kim has hidden herself away because of trauma over the ordeal.

'She's totally fine and has been hunkered down working,' the source, who has been part of the mother-of-two's circle for more than a decade, said.

'She's doing a lot of work but she's not emotionally disturbed. She's certainly not as upset or affected by this [the robbery] as people are portraying her to be.

'They're saying she's not going out and hiding – she's not. She's been focusing on her business and she hasn't left the house because she doesn't want it to appear as though she's fine, because she's getting a lot of sympathy right now.

'It's not because she's afraid or scared, it's because she doesn't want people to think she wasn't so affected by it.'

Another part of Kim's new-found lower profile could be security concerns after the heist.

The star's ex-bodyguard Steve Stanulis said earlier this month that the incident was a ‘crime waiting to happen’ because she and her family lived their lives on social media.

And it seems Kim's husband Kanye West, 39, is thinking the same way.

He is currently overseeing an investigation into what went wrong with his wife's security - and is planning to ramp up her detail to 'Secret Service' level. 

'He was very, very upset at first and didn't want to leave her side – he was super concerned about her safety,' the friend said.

'He was very upset with her security team – that was a big deal and there are still investigations going on into exactly how security was breached.

'But Kanye is really happy that she's staying in because he's also working on a plan about what the security detail will look like – he has been getting advice from [ex] Secret Service because that's the type of security he wants for Kim. Secret Service.

'He wants to ensure that in future, he's done as much as he possibly can to prevent something like this from happening.'

Kim's friends have revealed that the thieves told her that she would not be harmed so long as she handed over her valuables, which helped chase away some of her worst fears and get through the ordeal.

Kim was tied up and gagged with a piece of tape while the five men cased the place for expensive items.   

Kim's time at home has also allowed her to hang out with her younger brother Rob, 29.

Rob, who is due to become a father for the first time next month, has reportedly been having problems with his fiancée Blac Chyna, 28 – a model and former stripper with whom he has a 'volatile' relationship.

Chyna is herself a cause for concern, the friend said.

The Kardashian clan are suspicious that Chyna - who ha

s a four-year-old son named King Cairo with Kylie Jenner's current rapper boyfriend Tyga - has her own motivations for being with Rob.

They believe that Chyna doesn't care about him as much as she claims.

But Chyna's intimidating behavior has brought Rob closer to Tyga, who is now dating Kim and Rob's younger sister Kylie.
