Watch the show or don’t watch it

After all the controversy from yesterday afternoon Kat posted on Facebook explaining how she feels.
Después de toda la polémica del día de ayer Kat ha colgado esta tarde un post en Facebook en el que explica como se siente.



Her sentences show fatigue. She does not feel in the mood to "sell" their show. LA ink has become a documentary of one of the most controversial relationships in Hollywood in recent months for some audience. Kat von D is tired of giving explanations. This post proves that she's not rude, as some people tried to stress throughout  yesterday when she left the TV set.

Las frases desprenden cansancio. No se siente con ánimos de "vendernos" su show que para un tipo de público se ha convertido en un documental de una de las relaciones más polémicas en Hollywood de los últimos meses. Kat von D está cansada de dar explicaciones pero no demuestra ser una persona maleducada, como se ha intentado subrayar a lo largo del día de ayer después de abandonar el plató de TV.



She also explains how he has lived all this year: close to her man, staying strong and postive, against all comments, busy and lost some friends along the way.

También explica como ha vivido todo este año: muy unida a su pareja, manteniéndose firme y postiva, a contracorriente, ultra ocupada (eso viene siendo habitual en ella) y perdiendo amistades por el camino. 

It seems that every season has a goodbye next door  or the end of relationships for Kat: the girls (Hannah, Kim, ...), then Orbi, Corey, Sixx, Jesse...

Parece que desde la segunda temporada se suceden los abandonos o el fin de las relaciones para Kat: la marcha de las chicas (Hannah, Kim, ...), Orbi, Corey, Sixx, Jesse ... 

Today felt pretty impossible. Most of the times, regardless of what's going on around me, I'm usually strong enough to not let things get to me like this.

But today there seems to be no way of escaping my thoughts.

"What have I done?"
"I sure made a mess of things"
"Wish today was over.."

Most of the time I’m good at rolling with the punches when things don't go "as planned."  But somehow, I allowed today to get the best of me.

None of this happened over night and I guess most of the time it doesn't. But we are all master of our own reality and whatever is "happening to me" is no ones "fault" other than my own.

The accumulation of things this past year have been challenging in so many ways, but for the most part I found it easy to stay positive through it.  At times I even surprised myself at how resilient I was to a lot of these challenges...

There was my new relationship with Jesse, which regardless of how happy it made me, sprung a lot of negativity from the outside world. Then the 2 month book tour, not to mention my house burning down half way through the tour...
 Taking on another season of filming the show during all of this, plus a million other things to add to the list...

None of the above gave me reason to complain, and I didn't, and still don't - not even losing my cat in the fire. As crazy as it sounds, all of it brought me a great deal of reassurance that I was on the right path...

I mean, if all of this would of taken place 4 years ago before I decided to get sober I would have easily been the worlds biggest train wreck. Instead, dealing with all of it through acceptance of what is, and staying as present in the moment as possible, was the only way I was able to learn so much...

In my relationship I never before felt as solid and strong- even though the world said different by all the criticism.
 Lost a lot of friends, and even caused turmoil within some of my family members because of the bullshit the media put out there..  Some fans even changed their perception of who they thought I was...

All of this just motivated me to stay even more grounded and to love whole-heartedly without judgment.
At one point I remember feeling so saddened by the way people said the most hurtful things, (as much as I did my best to ignore it).  It felt like it was just the two of us against the world. I think it's safe to say that a lot of times that would bring us even closer.
Knowing that someone loves you for who you are and that they gain nothing from you other than the joy of being loved unconditionally is a good feeling.

But life has an amazing way of reminding you what truly is important and at the end of the day, none of what the outside world has to say carries any real weight when it comes to matters of the heart.

Fast forward through this year of transition, and things evolve - some in more positive ways than others. But all with life lessons at the end of them.

Today was really hard for me. And no ones to blame other than myself.

Never planned on walking away from this relationship, let alone the timing of things.

Never was good at being anything other than myself either.  And as much as I'd like to picture me being this strong, independent woman, the truth is most of the time I'm not as strong as I'd like to be - but I'm still trying.

Although my intentions were never to offend or hurt anyone’s feelings, this isn't an apology for walking out on a silly morning show interview this morning- and this isn’t an attempt at justifying anything either. I don't expect people to understand, just like I can't expect myself to be able to please everyone at all times.

Tomorrow the new season of LA Ink starts and I admit I'm not strong enough to do all the press I committed to doing for the show.  Today was a perfect example of that.

I'm not going to flatter myself in thinking I'm interesting enough for the press not to pry into gossip-related questions so its unfair of me to expect them to respect that ..but even though it's not in my nature to cancel on people, it IS in my nature to admit when I'm weak.

Ratings.
Sales.
Publicity.
The amount of followers I have on twitter.

 None of those things matters to me.

Watch the show or don’t watch it.

Whether people tune in or not doesn't change my best efforts or the quality of what I do, because when you make something for the sake of putting good out into the universe, the payback comes from a much more fulfilling place than any man made form of payment.


Con todo mi corazon,
Kat Von D

Kat Von D walks out before 'Good Day LA' interview over Jesse James mentioning

Kat Von D walks out before 'Good Day LA' interview over Jesse James mentioning
source Examiner.com


Kat left minutes before she was due to go on air to promote her TLC reality show, L.A. Ink, which kicks off a new season tomorrow.
During the last hours all press and blogs where confused because Jesse appears in promotional clips of LAInk
What was behind her exit then? Show host Jeff Michael mentioned her ex after they aired a preview clip that featured Kat showing off a tattoo she had just gotten of Jesse’s face on her arm.

Mentioned. Period. Reading her following apoplogies to the TVshow mentioning their relationship was not agreed by both parts.

This matter made a lot of noise on Google and I don't know how many results it has if you search "Kat von D" right now. After announcing their break up and premiering tomorrow some people "loves" to discredit and blame her again and again.

TV host Michael confirmed a tweet from TMZ agency


Kat Von d walks off our show. Headlines @tmz.com. LMFAO performed! Best show!
Dear GoodDayLA, thanks for the waste of a perfectly good morning. Lack of compassion n respect for eachother never fails to dissapoint me. KAT VON D
Then Kat apolgizes.
My apologies if I’ve offended anyone this morning-For the record: I did not storm off – I politely left w notice when GDLA broke their word.

Kat von D is no longer with Jesse James

Kat von D announces their break up with Jesse two days before the premiere of LA ink new season. 

Definitively shocking news since all her fans were expecting was a wedding by the next month, (after their first year anniversary).

A realtionship full of controversies ends as it started, by a tweet. It seems that the distance was too much. The tattoer and reality star lives in Hollywood, he lives in Texas.

David Bellemere for Elle Russia, August 2011






I want everything; the dresses are divine.

But when I crawl into your arms, everything comes tumbling down



This. Is beautiful. Reminds me very much of my first date, on and around, the steps of the Opera House.

'Blow Up' by Tim Walker for W Magazine








Connecting us

Twitter is amazing. People talks about simple things of live, try to save the world and connects people from all around the world.

I have just stumbled upon this video made by fans from Kat von D this morning and if there's someone out there who missed it too or wants to be part of another great idea like this, well, you can't miss it :)

Dear Kat, you've made a family of us! There's always someone thinking good ideas to put us together in creating good and creative stuff. I wish I had heard about this project before because I love this kind of things hi hi :)

New Episodes of LA ink this month: Love is in TV

Jesse James and Kat Von D are preparing to televise their romance

The highlight will be the moment she becomes engaged to her 'soulmate' James, 42 , in all it's emotionally staged glory.
Source and full article via Daily Mail

Last season of LA ink introduced Jesse James as Kat's new boyfriend, so, there's no surprise that the next season is focused on their relationship and some press started to discuss about it again.


Since Kat von D became famous on Miami Ink, she's never been more loved and hated than after her wedding  announcement with ex Bullock, Jesse James.

Besides him, we're gonna see more of  Dan Smith, G-Spot, Adrienne and the whole HVT family, including her brother Mike, who left the shop recently. This season introduces Arianna, who has been seen numerous times with her but because of my absence what I only know about her is that she's a fan that lives with her.

If you can't wait until the next week, here you can see a sneak preview! Premieres on 28 July, 10pm


She's happy, we're all happy BUT Jesse and shotguns.. I can barely watch it, sorry :(
What do you think?

My heart has its reasons, which reason does not know






"The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea."
Vladimir Nabokov




"we are travelers on a cosmic journey. stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. life is eternal. we have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. this is a precious moment. it is a little parenthesis in eternity."
Paulo Coelho




"dreams are the unfinished wings of our souls."
Simon Van Booy






"there is a sacredness in tears. they are not the mark of weakness but of power they speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. they are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love."






"she wasn’t doing a thing that i could see, except standing there, leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together."
J.D. Salinger





"you and i together have gone down a single river with linked mouths filled with salt and blood."
Pablo Neruda





"in their entwined sleep they exchanged arms and legs. in their dreams their brains took each other hostage. in the morning they wore each other’s face."
Ted Hughes

 




"trust the wolves, but do not tell them where you are going."
 Neil Gaiman






"like a mermaid in sea-weed, she dreams awake, trembling in her soft and chilly nest."
 John Keats





"there is immeasurably more left inside than what comes out in words."
Dostoesky
