Kat von D Day Final Video realesed

Hello Everybody!

It's 7.13 am right now and it doesn't mean I woke up early, it means I didn't sleep last night because I really wanted to share this video with you all.

I couldn't wait. 

I was in the middle of a frenzy inspiration.

I'm done.

I'm so happy with the final result.

Last week having troubles with my computer and my new courses, new several really bad payed jobs, it was Sunday and the job wasn't done. Spent the night downloading cool fonts and choosing the right pics again -since all the work for my previous video was damaged.

Meanwhile Youtube is ending the process I can write few lines for you.

Vimeo is soo slow that needs like 1 hour to be online so, I'll do it tonight when my eyes are wide open.
If you live in Germany, watch Vimeo



I'd love to hear your what you have to say but I'll get some sleep now

See you in the evening.

#Kat vonDDay for Trending Topic!

#KatvonDDay

Among some fans we have the crazy idea that #Kat vonDDay could be Trend Topic ( #TT) on Twitter tomorrow. Even if you don’t use Twitter very much you can put a bit of you to help!

What is a hashtag and what is a Trend Topic. 

Having the concepts clear, let’s keep in mind that hashtagging more than once per tweet is considered Spam  and Twitter doesn’t count it for  the trends.

Yes, tomorrow is the International Day for Women #womensday and perhaps people will be already talking about the “Shakiro”, “Bieber” or " #bootyappreciationday "but Kat von D fans will try to lead her to the trends realm!

I think she has a large community of fans and we can make it happen.

Next week it’s going to be special, it’s Kat von D Day week and don’t miss the new updates from the blog because there ‘s going to be a loot of surprises coming.

Make sure you have your mobile batteries full tomorrow, let's give Kat a big surprise tomorrow!

Kat von D on Tumblr

I've embarked on this venture that Tumblr is recently. I hope it helps to promote Kat von D Day.
I'm flattered by some messages from fans that had already heard about this blog before! It's so stimulating getting to know your opinions and receiving so much support. It definitively makes me really want to keep doing more and more with this blog for you everyday.

Above all, Tumblr is a visual place, so I'm not going to bore you posting the same stuff that you can find here in this blog. I'm gonna use my Tumblog to make this one known by people that never read it before.
I'm not asking you to join Tumblr now if you haven't yet, - unless it's your will to join, of course :)
As I already explained, it's not about overexposing you to the same things all the time but to meet new fans.

The only think I may ask is that you're totally free to share links about Kat von D Day on whatever social media you use: Facebook, Orkut, MySpace, etc. I'd really appreciate any help to let fans know about it!

KatvonDDay: Enséñaselo al mundo

Kat von D Day ocurrió de repente.
Creo que es una de esas cosas que no tienes que dejar escapar. Es una gran oportunidad para pasárnoslo bien y demostrarle a Kat que tiene los mejores fans.
Hace semanas entre todos dibujamos este día y escribí un post dejando la puerta abierta para ideas nuevas.

Una camiseta para mostrarle al mundo qué estamos celebrando hoy.

He pensado que podemos hacerlo todavía más fácil si os dejo la libertad de hacer lo que os de la gana. Me explico: sería genial que todos lleváramos la misma camiseta pero ¿no sería todavía mejor que cada uno pasara un buen rato diseñando con sus manos la suya?

Utilizad cualquier cosa para decorar vuestra propia camiseta. Una camiseta básica de tirantes, de manga corta de algodón que no uséis mucho (todos tenemos alguna por el armario) y si no, hay cientos de ellas por 5€ en H&M, Zara, etc. Hacedlo con sprays, retuladores, imprimid la foto que más os guste…  ¡DISFRUTAD mientras lo hacéis!

Hacer esta prenda puede llevaros desde una semana, una hora o cinco minutos  y ¡TODAS serán fantásticas!

Esto es lo mínimo que debería indicar es qué celebramos y cuando:

Kat von D Day 8 march 2011

Por la parte delantera o trasera de la camiseta, eso ya es cosa vuestra 

Hay un mes por delante para que penséis cómo será. 

Si hay alguien que en lugar de una camiseta prefiere agarrar una sábana vieja y hacer una bandera con letras enormes para colgarla en su balcón o para vestirse con ella, perfecto! viva la creatividad, supongo.

Estoy deseando que Kat vea todas vuestras fotos. 

La conversación sigue también en Twitter:#katvondday 

KatvonDDay: Show it to the world

Kat von D Day just happened all of a sudden.

I think it's one of those things you can't not let it go. It is a great opportunity to enjoy ourselves and show Kat that she has the best fans.
Few weeks ago, among all of us, we made a picture of this day and I end up publishing a post leaving the door open for new ideas.

One T-shirt to show to the world what we are celebrating today. 

Lately I've been thinking it's gonna be it even easier if I gave you total freedoom and you do whatever you want. I mean, it would be great that we were all  wearing the same Tshirt but, would not it be even better than each one of you have a great time designing with your own hands?

Use anything to decorate your own T-shirt. Take a basic cotton tank tees or short sleeves that you do not use much (we all have some of them hidden insiden our closets) or buy one of the hundreds  H&M, Zara, etc. for 5 bugs. Sprays, markers, print the photo that you like the most ... Enjoy the process!

It can take you from one week, one hour or five minutes to be done, and ALL of them will be fantastic!
These words should appear on it at least. This is what we celebrate:

Kat von D Day 8 march 2011 

On the front or back, that's your thing

You have a month ahead to think about.
Instead if someone prefers to hold an old sheet and write big letters on as a flag and hang  it on his balcony or to eveb wear it, perfect! - long life to creativity, I guess.

I hope Kat sees all your photos.

The conversation is also on Twitter: # katvondday

Two days left and up to date

It’s Moday and people usually hates it. How have you started the week?

Fist of all, a short reminder: Tattoo Chronicles contest ends in Two day.

I’ve received quite a lot of emails, so you’re doing it alright, but as a “last call”, all you need to do is to send an email to howtolook@hotmail.com writing name, country and what subscription you have chosen (RSS, email, Twitter, Youtube or Googlefriend)

Remainder done, now let me tell you: I’ve been working “behind” the blog these days. Thinking about how to improve it, checking content, planning and that’s why I didn’t update this weekend. I neeed an offline moment to sit down for writing and scheduling myself. I’ve done the half of it!

Besides that, I’m so excited with your enthusiasm for KatvonD Day. If you have new ideas, don’t keep them for too long. February is the month for setting up so, say it now! On the other hand, I’m glad of  taking a picture of myself wearing our all-toghether we- made- it T-shirt.
 (#katvondday on Twitter)

Finally, about myself, I had some job interviews in other cities nearby and although I want they hire me, if they do it means I’m gonna have less hours for researching, and publishing. Because of it, I’ve programmed a calendar that reminds me how much you are loving this blog.

Lots of love to all and I hope that if you are already doubting if this blog matters to you, my answer is simple: You won’t miss a SINGLE post!

KatvonDDay: Are you on board?

I am certain that you are gonna love the first post of  2011 and when you read the last word, your brain will come up with brilliant ideas. There is no better beginning than this.

Yesterday I received an alert about when Heartagram Day will be held this year and all of a sudden, I started asking in Twitter why  don’t we set our Kat von D day too.
For the moment, there is something we all agree: 8th March will be the perfect day for the celebration.  This is the Internationa Women Day too!

I am writing this post to involve all the fans inviting them to be part of it and finally come to an agreement with how they would like to celebrate the Kat von D Day. The main idea is to have fun that day and manage to let her know how much people respect, admire and love her.

Next,  more details about:

• The action that we’ve talking in Twitter
• How to give your opinions.

If you can’t wait reading the whole post, tweet by adding hashtag #katvondday!

Who knows, perhaps it will become a tradition. I can’t imagine how amazing it could be. Together, we’re are gonna make it happen

So, are you on board?

PS: This post wasn't meant to be the first of the year. It begin being a tiny comment and never stopped growing.
I'd never had written nothing like this without . Nunca habría escrito nada de esto sde no ser por Ashlee, Bianca, Amanda, Christine, Lucía, Ari, Joanna, Sergio and much much more!

KatvonDDay: What are we going to do?

This 2011 is gonna be a special year for Kat von D fans.

What if we all together plan a Kat von D Day impossible to forget?

This post follows the introduction where I told you about where the idea to set a day came from. At the bottom there is a link about how to give your opinions and share your thoughts.

After many of you were delighted with the idea of having a day, from Brazil it came a: “we could make a T-shirt, take pictures of all of us and editing a video with those images. Upload it on Youtube!”

I just love this simple idea and I think many of you too. In this short list I try to sum up how we could organize it in case you like the action explained above.

• A picture of Kat with a designed logo for the #katvondday will be posted on the blog for people to print their t-shirt at copy shops.
• Every person must hold something that helps to identify their nationality, i.e., flag, remarcable place from your city, paint your colours on your face, etc.
• Take a picture wearing the t-shirt
• Send your picture here in order to make a cool video featuring every fan.
• If you like, you can send Kat via Twitter too but don’t forget sending to the blog!
• Wear this t-shirt all day long 

Possible cons:

• Printing T-shirts. ¿are you really willing to take action and spend some Money for this day or you rather think of something different?

update: tshirt has never been easier. Create your own!

In the future, I’d love to provide or give your those shirt for myself. I’d be pleased to send them to your homes but this is not going to happen this year :) But hey! wait til the next year, maybe then I will!
Back to 2011, I am eager to read what you have to say about!

This idea came from conversations with some of you on Twitter and as I mentioned before, this is something that we’ll make togehter, if you want to.

Fans wishing to celeb this day and why not, wish her a HUGE Happy Birthday together, what do you think?

Keep reading the last part to know how to give your ideas.

KatvonDDay: How to take part

This 2011 is gonna be a special year for Kat von D fans.

What if we all together plan a Kat von D Day impossible to forget?

Before I was telling you how everything started and what is the main idea that came to our minds chit chatting on Twitter. 

Then, what I mainly try with this “event” is having fun .

I am asking that every fan of Kat von D having a brilliant idea is not afraid of telling and sharing with everybody! If some of you like the original idea and wants to support it, perfect! Let us know with a big “ I Like” it! If you like it but you think that you are able to get it better, go ahead! What will YOU do?

Now you are maybe wondering: How can I share my idea? How can I take part of it?

All those people willing to contribute, you can write on comment box and also on Twitter: hashtag #katvondday.

These links explain clearly how to comment in Blogger and what a hastag is. I think it can be useful for those who aren’t familiar with. I prefer you think it’s a useless info instead of losing people for the party :)

Finally, I lay on your hands a suggestion: share it. Link wherever you want (Facebook, …), create a link in your blog (versus copy-paste), print and hang it on your school board or you local bar, tell you neighbors, I don’t know :)

Kat has thousands of fans everywhere and I don’t think we are gonna reach so many but I would like to reach and meet the ones who want to have a good time celebrating the Kat von D day.

Welcome to the party!

Día KatvonD. ¿Te apuntas?

Estoy convencida que el primer post del año 2011 os va a gustar y cuando acabéis de leerlo vuestro cerebro empezará a poner en marcha magníficas ideas. No podría haber mejor comienzo que este.

Ayer recibí una alerta sobre cuando va a celebrase el Heartagram Day este año. Y de repente, se me ocurrió preguntar por Twitter porqué no organizábamos un día para Kat von D también.
Parece que por ahora todos coincidimos en que el 8 de marzo sería el día más apropiado para celebrarlo. Esta fecha coincide con el Día Internacional de la Mujer.

Escribo este post con la intención de que todos los fans puedan participar y ponerse de acuerdo en cómo les gustaría celebrar el Día de KatvonD. La idea principal es que éste sea un día para que todos nos lo pasemos bien y logremos hacerle saber cuanta gente la respeta, admira y quiere. 

A continuación explico con más detalle:

• cuál es la acción que más forma ha ido tomando en las conversaciones de Twitter
• cómo podéis dar vuestras opiniones.

Si no puedes esperar a leer el resto del post, empieza a twittear con el hashtag #katvondday!


Quién sabe, quizás se convierta en una tradición. No sé cómo de grande puede llegar a ser. Entre todos, lo haremos realidad.

Entonces, ¿te apuntas?


PS: Este no tenía que ser mi primer post del año. Empezó siendo pequeño y se ha ido haciendo cada vez más grande. Nunca habría escrito nada de esto sde no ser por Ashlee, Bianca, Amanda, Christine, Lucía, Ari, Joanna, Sergio y muchoss más!
Gracias de todo corazón

Día Kat von D: ¿Qué hacemos?

Este 2011 va a ser un año especial para los fans de Kat von D. 

¿Qué tal si organizamos entre todos un Día de Kat von D que no pueda olvidar?

Este post sigue a la introducción en la que os explicaba de donde venía la idea de organizar un día. Al final hay un enlace sobre como participar/dar vuestras opiniones.

Después de que muchos estuviérias encantados con la idea, desde Brasil llegó un: "podríamos hacer una camiseta de Kat y hacernos una foto cada uno para finalmente editar un video con todas esas imágenes que se colgaría en Youtube".

Esta sencilla idea me encanta y creo que os gustará también. En esta lista os resumo más o menos como podría organizarse en caso de que os guste la acción que se plantea en principio.

• La foto de Kat con el logo diseñado para el #katvondday se colgará en el blog para que cada persona lleve el archivo a una copistería para que le impriman la camiseta.
• Cada persona debe llevar algo consigo algo que identifique su nacionalidad, por ejemplo, una bandera, hacerse la foto en un lugar representativo de su ciudad, pintarse los colores en la cara, etc.
• Ponerse la camiseta y hacerse una foto
• Enviarnos la foto para poder montar un video con todas las fotografías recibidas.
• El video se hará llegar a Kat von D a través de Youtube
• Si cada persona también quiere enviarle su foto a Kat von D a través de Twitter, no hay problema pero sobretodo ¡no olvidéis enviarla aquí!
• ¡Llevar la camiseta todo el día!!

Los posibles contras de esta acción son

• Imprimir la camiseta. ¿estaríais realmente dispuestos a moveros y gastar algo de dinero en esta acción o preferís hacerlo de otro modo?

Actualización: Nunca ha sido tan fácil. Diseña tu propia camiseta.

En el futuro me encantaría poder proporcionaros yo misma estas camisetas. Con mucho gusto las enviaría a vuestras casas pero no va a ser posible este año :) Pero esperad al año que viene, puede que entonces sí sea posible :)

Volviendo al 2011, espero impaciente todos vuestros comentarios.

La idea que os planteo en este post ha surgido de las conversaciones mantenidas con algunos de vosotros en Twitter y es que como he señalado anteriormente, es algo que haremos juntos si queréis.

Fans que deseen celebrar este día y porqué no, desearle un enorme Feliz Aniversario juntos ¿qué opináis?

Seguid leyendo la última parte para saber cómo hacer llegar vuestras ideas.
