Guess one item tagged as starry in Wonderland

Do you remember...?
Back in summer, Kat von D attended to gay awards, New Now Next wearing a big starry headband on that was inmediately adored and searched as if we were talking about the Holy Grail.

Since September, Kat von D manages her own art gallery with the help of her artist firiend Chantal Menard.
The more they are posting items for sell via Twitter, the more I began to understand that Wonderland is a project to exhibit and sell paintings (and maybe sculptures in the future) but also to reunite everything related to art or "tagged" as handmade, antique, interesting,  that Kat has been collecting as treasures: music books, art books (classic and contemporary), cards, Bordello shoes, headbands, notebooks, jewellery, candles,... sharing her interests with fans.

One of the new items is the headband that I've started writting minutes ago.
Designed and handmade by Giant Dwarf is one of these products that Kat von D felt in love in Etsy and now can be yours in Wonderland.
If you check the link on Etsy you will discover all the items Kat rated, favorited and bought.
What about some stars to wear this New Year Eve?


Will Wonderland ever have an online shop as High Voltage? Would you consider buying if you got the chance?
If you have visited the gallery, what did surprise you the most?

Dita von Teese wanted a star in her face

At times these girls has more in common than one could have never suspect.

Although Dita von Teese is probably one of the women (and celebs) with the most beautiful pale skin, she has been a tattoo lover since her youth.
Even more, what it comes to portraits, she asks for people do deep research before tattooing a portrait. Since she has seen many fans showing her not very good artworks inspired on her.

Dita had second thoughts about tattoing and instead of becoming a kind of rockabilly, she is a vintage alive. I consider her a brilliant and intelligent woman who can be called a "myth" without any doubt.
Despite we live in 2010, in many countries her art is banned as pornographic.
Burlesque is not stripper, ladies and gentlemen.
Someone can tell me when we are all grow up, mentally, spiritually, open-minded and everything between?

Returning to the topic, Dita, in her research for turning a real pin up, had a wish to come true.

Some of you may heard it before, but not many people knows that Dita von Teese mole is actually a tattoo.

Nobody goes in there asking for a beauty mark. You have to understand that I was pretty eccentric. I was always drawing hearts and stars in that spot. I went in thinking I wanted a star there, but they wouldn't do it. They were like, "We're not putting a star on your face."

How To Look Like KvD (IV)

Stars are a constant in her (face, ear, eyelid.. LA ink's logo, and well, she's become a star too.)
Her tattooed stars, tribute to Mötley's Starry Eyes, are iconic, mark the spot, the difference, and emphatize the beauty of her dark glance.

I found those earrings in the shape of a star (Pimkie 2.50€ only ) and I fell in love with them!

WARNINGS

Don't get tattoos to look like her.

I think it's time to post  a "Warning Picture" instead of posting about her.

As I am super focused in having coherence in this Blog, trying to follow a conducting thread, giving sense, posting related subjects, and so on.. think it's time to post this here as a reminder and a reflection.

   Few months ago, Kimberley Vlaeminck, 18, Belgian,  tattooed 56 stars in her face.
    At first, she accused her tattoer, Rouslain Toumaniantz, tattoing her 50 stars while she was sleeping during the procedure.
     She said she only wanted 3 (or 6, depends the source you read)
    "She agreed, but when her father and boyfriend saw it, the trouble started," -said him.
    Few days later, a local TV Ned 3, uncovered the farse. They recorded her she admitting that she loved her tattoo apart from the 3 stars closest to her nose and  that she lied because she was afraid of her father's punishment.
    Now the tattoer is free of paying back the 65 € and has no report. However, he isn't pissed off because he got some advertisement.

I would  stick one's neck out for She REALLY wanted to Look LIKE KvD and that led her to awful consecuences. Lasering face doesn't sound funny at all.
And I say it because : Ms Vlaeminck has said she wants to keep the tattoos on her forehead but would have the rest removed. As it's to say: I still want 3 stars as the most known girl who wears stars in her face, aka KvD. It' sad.

It's sad because it was so obvious from the very beggining that it was all about a kid liying.
Nobody falls asleep while tattoing as noboby falls asleep while having their legs waxed!
It was sad how all media started to talk about it, about tattoos, about parents permissions, about society, as a foolish thing sure, and nothing about the depper side of worshiping, teen wannabes, imitations going to far...

And as this is said and done, tomorrow I'm back to the positive inspirations, playing with clothes' puzzles, pics, songs and who Caroline looks like :P
I'm pretty "Meet Faces" - I don't know how they say..connecting dots? My little hobby

Never do that to look like sbdy else, sweethearts..  Poor stupid girl :(
