PHOTOS The Kardashians’ Christmas card for 2013 is most bizarre yet

It’s beginning to look a lot like… a dystopian carnival?

For the Kardashians’ Christmas card, photographer David LaChapelle featured old tabloid magazines, an Illuminati symbol, Wheaties box and the “matriarchs” of the family. Notably absent from the high-fashion photo? Rob Kardashian, Scott Disick, Lamar Odom, Kanye West and North West. Of the men, only Mason Disick and Bruce Jenner gained admission to the faux fair.

“I like taking higher art and mixing it up with pop culture,” photographer David said during the Keeping Up With the Kardashians Christmas Special.

When David suggested featuring only the women, Bruce initially resisted.

“I think that’s a terrible decision,” he said as the family mulled over their options. “It’s your mom’s and my Christmas card!”

Kris Jenner eventually relented and allowed her estranged husband a spot in the photo — but only if Bruce agreed to seal himself in a cryogenic tank.

The photo was less shocking for Kim Kardashian, who has transitioned to more high-fashion photo shoots since beginning her relationship with Kanye.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner also went the couture route: Kylie wore some kind of Space Age hat while Kendall posed with something similar to Michael Jackson’s bedazzled glove atop her head.

The gloomy photo was a particularly big contrast to last year’s joyful image of the family.

Although this year’s photo may have taken the emphasis off the family, it did satisfy the most important requirement: Making Kris Jenner happy. As she told E! Online, “It was amazing and it was so much fun!”
