Do you want 1,000,000 Instagram likes? Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have unknowingly given you the blueprint to achieve such a goal. Here are the simple steps:

  • Be a famous rapper.
  • Like, really famous.
  • Get in the studio to work on some new beats. Maybe some new lyrics. Maybe an unforgettable chorus. Anything is possible.
  • Be in a controversial relationship that disrupts the normal news cycle for no good reason.
  • Invite your better half and your beautiful daughter over to the studio for some brunch. Maybe just a snack. Maybe no food at all. "Just listen to daddy's beats," you say.
  • With your impossibly cute daughter on your lap, make sure you smile and give her attention. Make sure she is making an irresistible face at the camera.
  • Snap the pic.
  • Post.
  • Order a large pepperoni pizza "because North West is hungry." Order more tambourines for the track you're working on. Enlist Rick Ross for tambourine duty.

Okay, the final step isn't necessary, but you get the point: Kanye, Kim and North came together today for an Instagram photo that has taken the Internet by storm. They're well into month No. 2 of marriage, and things seem to be going swell. Just like everyone predicted.

In case you missed it, a small snippet recently emerged from Ye's new track "All Day," the first cog in the transcendent machine that will be West's seventh solo album. He's also been spotted hanging with Justin Bieber in Ibiza and rocking a beard at the Los Angeles airport.

If you want to keep up with the Wests, just keep refreshing Kim's Instagram account. And anytime they need some good PR, we'll probably get another picture like the one that blessed us with its presence today.
