Maybe someone can explain the appeal to me...

[MrScorpio]

Kat Von D.

[WCGreen]

1. I see a clown for a new generation...

[KG]

2. ick.

none of the above.

[Brigid]

3. No vote, but the funniest thought just ran through my head:

What is she going to do if she "sees the light" and becomes a conservative evangelical Christian? :rofl:

[MrScorpio]

4. Thank you

You just gave me the finest laugh of the day.

[rcrush]

5. I think women with tattoos are sexy...to a point

She would have been sexy when she had half of those tattoos. Now its just doesnt look good. Oh and lay off the collagen.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

6. You forgot cheek implants

and is that a where's Waldo on her shoulder?

I have no idea who this person is so I don't know if she is appealing or not to the American public. Thank God almighty I don't live there anymore if this is considered something to admire. Fucking A!

[SeattleGirl]

7. I'm at a loss. My first thought was, is she still going to like all those

tats when she's in her late 60's, and they look like they're dripping down her body with her sagging skin?

Okay, so maybe she'll be so well-preserved with collagen or something that she won't sag, but lordy lordy, I wouldn't want all those tats.

[GirlinContempt]

43. It's not like just the skin with the tattoos sags

it all does. It's part of aging. Who cares? People have been getting tattoos since prehistoric times. People age, shit happens, if you love them or love the way you look, go for it. Hopefully, when you get older, people won't be such judgmental jerks about how you look. My grandfather had tattoos that he got during the war. Sure, they looked different when he was 70 than they did at 20, but they meant something to him, he liked them, and that's all that matters.

8. Is that a famous person? Who is it?

[MrScorpio]

9. Kat Von D., Star of TLC's L.A. Ink

29. Why did she do that to herself! She looked so pretty without all that plastic surgery! n/t

42. Thats disgusting

and totally insensitive to anyone who's suffered FGM.

[Skittles]

11. nasty

[flvegan]

12. She's got a pretty face and a slammin' body.

The number of tats is more than my specific taste runs to, but they're not a distraction to the hawtness either.

[Lucy Goosey]

13. Fuck I hate lips like that.

I will never understand why anyone thinks that inflated lips make them look better.

[BlueJazz]

15. I agree. They remind me of >>

[Quantess]

14. She could use a lot more color in her tattoos.

Someone with her pale skin can have the most colorful tattoos.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

46. I hate tatoos, but I agree with you...

If you're going to do that to yourself, you should go for more color.

[Quantess]

16. I think she looks great, overall.

She has a hot body, and she has quality tattoos. I do think she'd look better with more color in her ink, and I'm not that into her style of ink, either. Her tattoos are not my style, but, it's good work.

However, I have to say I disagree strongly with neck tattoos and hand tattoos. Neck tattoos, especially, are a terrible idea.

Edit to add: I know I already posted my opinion earlier, but, I think she's fairly hot, so I had to post again.

[LostInAnomie]

17. I hate people that wear or do things for fashion or to get a certain "look".

And, Kat Von D is a perfect example. Just look at her. There is nothing about her in that picture that doesn't scream "I'm incredibly superficial, and begging for people to look at me and think I'm cool."

Bleached blond hair.
Fake lips.
Dozens of glib and pointless tattoos.
Super long Rosary necklace.
Bikini top with a fashionable ratty top over it.
Fashionably distressed pants with a bunny sewn onto them for the "I don't care what you think about how I dress, but I'm still cute" look.
A Thin Lizzy belt buckle. Seriously, a Thin Lizzy belt buckle. What? Is she some kind of huge Thin Lizzy fan? So much of a fan that she's been wearing that belt buckle for decades? So big of a fan that she wears a belt on a pair of pants without belt loops just to show it off? No. I don't think so.

I don't know if women can be douchebags. I think she qualifies though.

[Quantess]

19. Oh, c'mon. You can't judge someone to be a "douchebag" based on appearance alone.

Do we do that to men? I don't think so.

[LostInAnomie]

20. Oh, we do it with men all the time.

Just type in "douchebag" to Google images and see what comes up.

[Quantess]

21. I repeat, Based On Appearance ALONE? For Celebrities?

NO.

This is the Lounge, so I will just leave it at that.

Edit to remove my last edited comments.

[LostInAnomie]

22. And I will leave you with two words.

Guy Fieri

[rcrush]

31. I've never seen his show but I think he is a douchebag by the looks of him.

Just look at that guy. What a douche.

[GirlinContempt]

41. You could judge ANYONE for wearing ANYTHING to get a 'look'

I happen to have a particular sense of style, so I wear things that fit in to my 'look'. So what?

You have no idea why people wear things. Maybe, she just likes the stuff. Or, automatically if it's something popular or fashionable, it's not ok to like it? You just *have* to be some 'douchebag' trying to impress others? :eyes:

[barb162]

18. How about can you do a "no appeal at all" box?

:)

[txwhitedove]

23. Oh no! Kat was gorgeous with black hair. Now she looks like every other

bleached blonde plastic bimbo. Yuck.

[Forkboy]

24. "I'm going to be different...just like everyone else!"

She looks like a walking stereotype for hipster wannabes.

And really, a Thin Lizzy belt buckle? :rofl:

[MissMillie]

47. precisely

:thumbsup:

[MilesColtrane]

25. That's going to look hilarious in the nursing home in about 50 years.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

33. everyone else in a nursing home is otherwise so hot. nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. i think she is smoking hot. just because something doesnt appeal to you

doesnt mean its not appealing and shouldnt have to be explained. if you are not attracted, you arent

my explaining it to you will hardly change that

the only thing i dont find attractive is the blonde hair

[Orrex]

28. Nice post, Hater.

Just kidding.

I'm endlessly baffled by DU's eagerness to vilify one subjective aesthetic convention while praising another one that's equally subjective. And if I see one more post telling this or that actress to "eat a sandwich," I'm going to freak out.

[PeaceNikki]

30. Yeah, this. Everyone is beautiful to someone. And not everyone has to understand why.

[GirlinContempt]

40. Thank you!

Everyone has their own tastes. And no one has to 'get' why she wears this or does that, it doesn't matter. If she's happy with herself, good. I liked the dark hair better too... oh well...

[Deep13]

44. I like the ink.

She's too young for me to find especially hot, but still, I don't find her freakish or anything. There's too much artificially blonde hair in this country. I don't know what her natural color is, but something dark would go well with the tattoos.

[mitchum]

27. She's trying waaaaay too hard

[graywarrior]

32. The bunny is overkill.

[bigwillq]

34. I have no idea who she is (nt)

[Rhythm]

35. WTF?!?!? When did she bleach her hair?!

Shows how much i pay attention, huh...

I thought he was hot before the bleach and the botoxification of her lips.
Now... not so much.

[MrScorpio]

36. The tats were always a given

But the bleach and the botoxification, oh boy.

[Rhythm]

37. I'm inked, too, so the tats are a non-issue...

I was just shocked at how different she looks now, versus when i was actually paying attention to her show... 2 yrs ago, but still.

[Bucky]

38. Is that Lady Gaga?

I just don't keep up with any celebrities younger than Matt Damon anymore.

[MrScorpio]

39. Nope, it's Kat Von D. She has a show on TLC

[SoxFan]

45. She looks like a Bronx subway car
