Sword Umbrella.



The fun would never end!! I'd take it everywhere with me. I thought awhile ago that dragging an actual sabre around with me would be super cool, unfortunately its also illegal, but these might be the loop-hole I've been searching for. Also - a gal never knows when she's going to come face to face with one of these:

 
 and everyone knows that these ones require some slick ninja evasive techniques and, all I can think is that a sword umbrella would be just the ticket.

Preorder "Adora" by Kat von D: Make up and Fragance

Sephora has recently introduced the brand "Adora" by Kat von D in their website.

As announced one month before, Adora is her third fragrance following up on Saint and Sinner last year and it's gonna be lauched this fall.

It's the first time Kat von D has created a label based on the name of one product.

The Adora  Collection consists in Fragance (1.7 oz  and roller - ball 0.33 oz) , a limited-edition makeup collection comprising True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Adora and Adora Painted Love Lipstick.


This time products are based on black/ red instead of black /white design.


Adora's perfume bottle design is the same that her previous Saint and Sinner. Inspired by nouveau artist (Alfonso Mucha), the solid black bottle's side panels are decorated with original sketches of whimsical features, flowers, and butterflies, in a captivating red ink.

Sure you don't have many black bottles :)

Rollerball seems decorated by butterflies instead of roses but I can't see it well.



Fragance is described as :
Adora means "Beloved One" in Latin. For Kat, Adora reflects the next chapter in her personal evolution—an introspective renaissance discovered through deep layers, stories, and scars. She's a romantic soul with an edgy exterior. Adora is a sensual and passionate perfume journey—unexpected and provocative. This scent reveals a stirring glimpse into an enigmatic life…tortured, beautiful, and brutally honest. At the top, crushed juicy notes of lychée and boysenberry intertwine with thyme and a crisp shot of cassis. The heart fuses the distinct sweetness of hyacinth with jasmine to create floral notes, enhanced by freshly peeled mango. At the base, patchouli finds her spiritual matches with sheer musk and amber wood.
Notes: Lychée, Boysenberry, Thyme, Cassis, Hyacinth, Jasmine, Mango Flesh, Patchouli, Sheer Musk, Amber Wood.
While Saint and Sinner complemented each other being the two sides of every woman , Adora's style is described as Passionate. Soulful. Complex.
 
 Read first comments and reactions about the perfume.

Make up items are limited, but don't worry, Sephora has lots of them before they are sold out.
 

Eyeshadow Palette is described as:


A smoky eye adds an instant air of mystery—create your own, from angelic to devilish, with the Adora Eyeshadow Palette. Designed by reality television star Kat Von D especially for Sephora, this artistic spectrum of shades brings an edgy-glam creativity to your makeup. Adora fuses love and fury—two sides of color reflect two distinct facets of Kat. One side has an assortment of frosty whites and silvers; the other includes a range of sexy black and maroon shades.

As her other palettes, it has 8 colours. Three come in cream and other three in powder.
The lid has a Latin sentence " Venusta Impetus" meaning "Kind Attack"


Lipstick colour is one of her fave reds.

Painted Love Lipstick takes Kat's signature lip color, a sophisticated red, and expands it into a range of smoldering shades, from crimson to blood red. The sleek black tube is stenciled with passionate red roses and speaks to a romantic soul, with an edge.


Prices: $16 and $55 for the 0.33 fl. oz. rollerball and the 1.7 fl. oz. eau de parfum; $34 for the palette; $18 for the lipstick. All available exclusively at sephora.com

I hope someone makes a tutorial with this products inspired by her!

Meanwhile, enjoy the pictures of the Adora Campaign "making off" and this nice video.

Strippes Suit: Deeper, closer and live!

I've just finnished a video and I can't wait sharing with all of you guys!

Do you remember when Kat von D attended to the "Evening with Woman"  in Los Ángeles? What if I say, do you remember a red strippes suit?
Sure you do now.

This is a vid featuring red carpet short interviews from "All Access". I've just cutted the other celebrities and added more pictures. -Sorry for the watermarks :( -

I do really have a good time making those videos because I think the more, the better, in all senses. The more videos, the more people getting into them., the more people knowing more about her...

Let me know your thoughts!

Not the typical syle icon

Found a really well written article about Kat's tattoo style I wanted to share with you guys. I hope you enjoy.
Kat Von D may not be your typical style icon – she doesn’t attend fashion shows or wear the latest designers but she is iconic in her own way. Instead of being stylish with her clothing, she is stylish with her body. Kat’s body is covered in elaborate tattoos – some designed by herself. Although more permanent, her style is definitely unique and different.


I personally like her facial tattoos – the stars on the side of her eye and the lightning bolt on her cheek. Each tattoo makes up an outfit for Kat

I literally just cried... A little something to raise the stakes whilst doing the groceries, methinks.

Kat von D Pointiac Vibe video edited by me


Three post left for my post number 200 - I never thought I'd be writting this - and I wanted to make something special.

As I am new, I realised once it was posted that I forgot to clean the ".wmv"  extension. Anyway, honours that I am a  newbie.

This is my first video upload for Youtube. Enjoy your senses!

PS: If you like, I can post the pictures I used.





Quedan dos meses para la nueva temporada de L.A. ink

¿Estás ansioso por ver los nuevos episodios de L.A. ink?
Entonces estas notícias son especialmente para tí. Kat ha anunciado recientemente una posible fecha de estreno en Twitter:

¡Faltan dos meses para el estreno!
Los chicos empezaron a grabar la próxima temporada el pasado 15 de marzo ( según la newsletter de High Voltage). Han sido tres meses de duro trabajo y de algunos días de puertas cerradas al público.


Mi opinión personal es que quízás ésta sea su última temporada, pero sólo se trata de mi punto de vista. Me gustaría que esta vez se focalizaran menos en el drama. Debo admitir que estuve a punto de dejar de verlo varias veces esta úlitma temporada (la 3). Todo el lío con Aubrey no tenía sentido.

¿Qué esperáis esta vez? ¿Créeis que Corey estará en esta nueva temporada?

Actualizado el 27 June via Kat's Twitter: " Para responderos a algunos de vosotros: Corey hace bastante tiempo que ya no trabaja con nosotros en HighVoltageTattoo. Todo va bien, sin recor..

Two months for new L.A. ink season

Anxious for new L.A. ink episodes?
These news are for you then. Kat has just said on Twitter a possible date .

Then, two months to premiere!

The guys started filming at 15th March this upcoming season - via HighVoltage newsletter.
Three months of hard works and doors closed to the public some days too.

My personal opinion is this is possibly their last season, but it's just my point of view. I would like it offers less dramma this time. I must admit I wanted to quite watching several times during the last season (3).
All the Aubrey mess had no sense.

What are your expectations? Do you think Corey is gonna be in the new season?
 
Updated 27th June via Kat's Twitter: "Just to answer some of you- Corey hasn't worked w us at HighVoltageTattoo for a long time. its all good and there's no hard feelings.

TONIGHT!!



CANT WAIT CANT WAIT CANT WAIT CANT WAIT

Kat and Art: Kevin Lewellyn

A comment on Twitter drived me to enjoy Kevin Lewellyn's art. a stunning californian artist.


If you want to know more about this brilliant artist, read the articled published on Inked Mag (Kat's Feb issue). His website provides an interesting biography also.


His arts reminds me Nikko Hurtado. Michael Hussar. Kevin is more realistic but both share this obscure art in the whole painting. 

What shocked me the most is to finally found out who is the author of one of the paitings that got my attention the most, at High Voltage walls. Every time I watched an episode, I wondered who had painted it.

A kind of Virgin Mary meets Jeffee Star.
 This is Kat von D's collection.
