Kat's Tats
Who will ever know why Kat Von D decided to get breast implants? Was it the continual pressure from her waitress friend Pixie? Was it pressure from the producers to try to get Kat to look like every other Hollywood Bimbo on television? I have to say I was hugely disappointed to see "How much money she spent to look so cheap." Before (and probably still) Kat was like the girl next door. Her sexual appeal came from within because she is vulnerable. She is rebounding from a broken marriage, and that is what makes her appealing. She is approachable and down to earth on top of being an excellent artist, probably the best in the shop. Now, like Hollywood, there is something ELSE with which to contend. Cleavage. Boobs. Tits. How can you continue to treat her as a friend and the girl next door when there are those things there? Tits have become a power statement, and maybe that is what she wants. To me it is the antithesis of what L.A. Ink began to represent. It is also uncomfortable to see Pixie flirt with clients that like most are getting tatooed for very serious reasons. To reduce the level of the shop to Vally Girl mannerisms is a diservice. Tits are sexual, and although I'm sure Kat is sexual in the right private situation, they now have changed her image to that of every other biker pin up girl. Hugh Hefner and Playboy magazine ruined women when they settled upon a stereotypical image of what was supposed to be sexy in the image of a nude woman. Frankly I don't find anything appealing about uneducated BIMBOS, whether they give rim jobs or not. Who cares if they have curves? It is not the shape of the body that creates sex appeal, it is the angst and unrest beneath the surface. Silly-headed blondes are not sexy, because they have no fire. Animal passion or hormonal energy helps create sexuality, and Kat has that. She tries desperately to keep it concealed during the show. Let's hope her good natured optimism is not shattered by a cold, selfish, and uncaring L.A. scene like Geraldine. Everyone has to grow up, but we can still hope that a woman can do it without turning into a hateful maneater. Love is an illusion and it sucks, but you can still maintain that naive, pure, and beautiful vulnerability. Don't be persudaded to go to the other side, Kat! Men need women like you!
