Exposed

"We are exposed every day, no matter if it’s through internet, oustide or wherever you are. You always have the danger that someone hurts you, critizise your work or don’t understand it…”
“I think showing yourself as you are is the best personal satisfaction you can have because you are always straight, with nothing to hide..”

Two short sentences regarding fame.

Both are from people that own Beauty Channels on Youtube.
I don't know why but they are as loved as they are hated.
I consider them the "sensation" from Youtube. They have thousands of subscribers and among them there are people like Lauren Luke that succed and end up becoming part of the market and lauched her line of make up products.
Everyone can be famous. All you need is a laptop and a camera. Post a video on Youtube and wait.
Now multiply this feeling by 100 and you will feel like you are on your own reality TV.

What happens when your everyday life becomes being pointed at the worst and ugliest (furthermore, tattooed) celebrity?
So what if you don't look how you are suposed to?

I definitely don't look like I should do. Do you?

Being famous can make you weak if you start worring too much on what people will think about you, about what you do, etc. It's hard to struggle with it.
Weakness and vulnerability are things that could be seen on almost every season of L.A.ink. We will read also about them in Tattoo Chronicles.

I like to think that after a fall comes a rise and not the opposite. We love to say "The rise and fall of", "What happened to?" and so on. We love to literally eat celebrities alive and love to see them destroyed. While we watch their creepy and decandent life on TV we forget our misery.

Why is it so hard to be happy for the success of someone else?
Why is so difficult to hear a woman say that another woman is beautiful?
Considering that fashion magazines are most of them written by 99% of female staff is not strange at all that the most prolific tabloids nowadays are focused only on the most negative envy. Society is calling for more. For instance, headers like: How whoever-beautiful looks without make up? = ugly as hell. So, are we all of us  ugly in the morning? I don't think so. I take subway at 8 am and I see wonderful people.


Kat von D has her own reality TV, make up line and a non fit look. Add all this factor up. Scary, uh?
What a better way to start the new season that sending her cool messages of support?
Why don't you tweet her you're beautifully talented right now?
