The one thing I can't stand is famous people who feel the need to shout from the rooftops "I MADE HER!" purely because their fame is going down the shitter and they need a "BIG" drama to make some sort of usually failed comeback. I've been a huge fan of Jeffree Star since I was about 13 back in the Bebo days when I was obsessed with Hello Kitty and it was the emo/scene kid era. I'm not gonna lie I was never really a fan of his music but I was obsessed with his look. I was also a big fan of Kat Von D, I watched L.A Ink religiously and I thought Kat was so chilled, edgy and super talented artistically. But, after ancient rockstar after ancient rockstar boyfriends, drug scandals and pissing off her entire team of artists at her studio...I couldn't be arsed watching/listening to her shite. As for Jeffree, he's not exactly been Mr Innocent over the years but at least he's always held his hands up and apologised. Given the "white trash" background that Jeffree has openly said he came from, you can kinda understand why he can have a trashy mouth on him sometimes but Kat has a genuine nasty streak in her and I just can't warm to her anymore because of it.
As role models if you compare the two, Jeffree has gone from rags to riches, tested the limits of gender, set up his own make up business and youtube channel from scratch, doesn't drink alcohol and is 100% just his usual flamboyant fabulous self and...Kat Von D? Well..she's basically just a jakey with some freaky bald cats shagging blokes old enough to be her dad. "But she has her own make up line" ok let's just nip that right in the bud. Yes Kat Von D has a make up line, but Sephora along with their marketing department pay for everything including her and she basically makes the packaging look pretty. To be honest when I first heard Kat Von D was coming out with a make up line, I thought it was totally random. She's had the same look for years and years...winged eyeliner. Yeah that's it guys winged eyeliner and the occasional red lipstick. When did you ever hear her even talking about her love for make up? It's all bullshit. Sephora have simply called her up and gone " Hey wanna be the face of a make up line?" and boom done. Jeffree has set up his own individual company by himself, showed the world his fabulous tutorials on YouTube of how to use his make up aswell as other brands and overall sharing his love for make up, supporting other bloggers, reposting aspiring young female youtubers etc. Not long ago he posted a pic of a girl from Inverness wearing his liquid lips on his Instagram. He loves his fans. When do you hear from Kat? When does she come out and say "Hey big shout out to all my fans"? She has a publicist running her social media and an outside company running her make up line whilst she sits on her arse, watches the money come in and uses YouTube to bitch about her FRIEND who's clearly doing miles better than her in the fame/money department. Jeffree actually interacts with his fans and isn't just another celebrity slapping their name on other brand's products for a bit of celebrity endorsement for that brand. It's the fact that Jeffree promoted her products in almost all of his videos and has supported her make up line this whole time as well? What a cheek from her seriously? This isn't about taking sides, it's simply weighing up the facts and calling someone out when they're being an absolute radge.
