It's About Time..

Well folks, we're 4 days away. On December 1st, a new FTC law will go into effect REQUIRING bloggers and youtubers to disclose all information about products that the publisher mentions including; if the product was given for free, whether they are speaking from their own personal experience with the product, if they have any affiliation with the company, and whether or not they are receiving money for reviewing/mentioning the product. Failure to do so could result in an $11,000 fine.

This is one video that kind of sums up this new law while also offering some opinions on it;



For me, I feel like this new law unfortunately hurts smaller bloggers/youtubers. It is kind of excessive to include ALL information about everything youve used during a makeup tutorial and even include information on clothes youre wearing or things seen in the background if they have particular logos on them. All new, starting-out gurus obviously are not sponsored by anyone (well, not usually, anyway..) and it would be really sad for someone to report them for not mentioning, say for example, a brush they used but didn't think about listing because it was bought with their own money on their own decision. I for one do not intend on calling out everyone who fails to include all of this information. HOWEVER, I think this law is long overdue for people such as "Blair" and "Elle" and all other popular people on youtube. By not telling their subscribers that they were paid (hundreds of dollars) for reviews and even LYING about it when confronted, they are being completely dishonest to their naive, younger subscribers and it is just not right. Many people argue with me, stating that "if you dont like them, dont watch them" or "if you dont trust their reviews, dont buy the product", yeah OBVIOUSLY, but the FTC apparently also finds these actions wrong, thus bringing into effect this law.

How do you guys feel about this?

Kailyn-To-English Dictionary

It has come to my attention that Kai uses a variety of words in which some people have no idea what the fuck shes talking about. Fear not, normal English speaking individuals, I have decided to comprise a set of kai-words that may need translating.

Kai Word: English Word
Laygins - Leggings
RepUsentative - Representative
Mirrah - Mirror
Thubthribe - Subscribe
Slave - Salve
a - an
Sood - Suede
Collar - Color
Gontopply - Going To Apply

what else am I missing?!

Tranny?

I was completely unaware that Elite and Ford Models were accepting applications from trannys?

Juicystar07 and Allthatglitters21

Alright, a couple of you requested I post something new hah, so I guess I'm going to talk about "Blair" and "Elle" because I cannot stand these girls. Most of you may feel like this is old news, but they find new ways to piss me off every day. First of all, lets set a couple things straight;

"Elle's" name is actually Lisa
"Blair's" name is actually Elizabeth

if you want proof, since a lot of you are still so naive to this, go to thettruthabouteb.blogspot.com and that'll give you tons of proof

And if you ever confront one of them about this truth, they will deny, block you, and most likely tweet about how they're "getting so tired of all these dumb rumors" even though fucktard Elizabeth was the one who posted the news article with her REAL name in it to begin with. Does anyone follow Elizabeth on twitter? A couple days ago she tweeted about how one of her subscribers told her that her sister (the subscribers sister) just named her newborn baby after "Blair". Ahahahah suckksss you named your baby after a lie! Before you all jump down my throat, yes, i understand they most likely assumed fake names for safety and blah blah blah, but the thing that pisses me off is that instead of either A)Ignoring the rumors (although they are true) or B) actually confronting them and coming clean, the insist on lying. They were caught with numerous amounts of proof but insist on lying AND to prevent you from telling others, they tend to send you messages about suing (again, in the website listed above). They're such stupid little spoiled brats. Obviously they're making bank off of youtube because they charge companies ridiculous amounts of money to even so much as mention a certain product in their videos. Again, they continue to lie about this as well. Several months ago, Elizabeth tweeted about a particular leather jacket she was just sooo in love with. People asked her where it was from and she posted a link to it; it's a $600 jacket. What's the average age of your viewers, Elizabeth? 16ish? Yeah, no one in their right mind would chose to spend that kind of money on a stupid jacket.

And seriously, they have pretty much been in every Seventeen magazine since their big "debut" in one of the summer issues. I'm sick of their faces!

Well, thank god, starting on Dec. 1st, the FTC will require bloggers to disclose any information about whether products they are endorsing were free or if the person was paid for the review. Fines for breaking this law can be upwards of $10,000. Uh oh, looks like Elizabeth and Lisa are going to have to stop with their lies..

Wtf pat?!

Apparently Pat lurks this blog.. so.. Hi Pat!!

Pat aka Glitterskrink just pulled a Kailyn on us and recently (as in.. today) deleted his youtube account and blog, but not before making a video addressing something said in this blog. Unfortunately, I was not able to see the video before it got deleted, anyone care to fill me in? I believe it was in response to a comment about how the winner of one of Pat's contest never received her prizes. Wow. Hypocrite, pat?

I didn't really care for Pat in the past and up until his falling out with Kai (but theyre bffs again, no worries!) I had never watched any of his videos, either. The ONE video of his that i did watch was the one ridiculing kai herself. He deleted that within a couple hours of it being up and wrote a blog about it instead, basically talking about why him and kai were no longer friends (JK!) and some of the shitty things kai had done. But then he went and deleted all that shit like a pussy. What little respect I had for you Pat, is beyond gone now.

Opinions?

BYE PAT!!!

Pinkiecharm/Irene

Well.. I don't really know a whole lot about Irene, other than the fact that many people commenting in this blog don't like her too much. It seems like 99% of her videos are reviews, but I just can't bring myself to watch any of them. Damn, she must spend a shit ton of money to be able to afford all that shit she's reviewing. Someone more greedy than Kai? I never thought I'd see the day. Why does everyone dislike her so much? Are her and Kai friends?

She's baaackkk...

Well kailyn, i gotta give you credit. I'm impressed you actually took some time (all 5 seconds) to address (kind of) why you went MIA to those who didnt already know. I figured you were just going to ignore it and hoped it all just disappeared.

However.. "the haters made you see what they wanted to make you see." uhh yeah..? as opposed to making people see what we didnt want them to see?

To be honest, i never set out on ruining her reputation. no, im pretty sure she did that on her own. Im excited to see how this matter is being investigated because im pretty sure there is nothing to investigate lol. Nothing was published here that wasnt already published to the internet by kailyn or in some forum. And actually, i have to thank kailyn, had she never posted this website on her twitter, im sure very few people would have found it and a lot of this wouldnt have happened. =]

kailyn, learn something from this. Not all of what was said here was purely out of hatred for you or whatever. try being a little nicer to people, thanking them when they compliment you. and stop being so damn greedy. itll prevent things like this from happening in the future.
