KAT VON D in NYC: Meet the Fans

The Kat craze continues! On Wednesday, our favorite beauty bad girl Kat Von D made an appearance at Sephora 34th Street in Manhattan--and "oh man!" (As Kat would say.) The line of fans--as inked up as they were eager--wrapped around the block. Steve from Philadelphia stood in line for four and a half hours, just to be sure he'd get to meet Kat! "We've been waiting since 1:30 this afternoon to see her, and it was totally worth the wait, she's awesome," says Steve, who bought a skateboard that Kat designed and had it signed for his son who is a huge fan. He's saving it for a Christmas gift. Our NYC beauty writers Laura Kenney and Nicole Grippo got a chance to chat with more of Kat's biggest admirers who were waiting for an autograph and makeovers. What they had to say just goes to show how addicting beauty (and tattooing!) can be!

"Nikki Sixx [Kat's boyfriend] is responsible for my marriage. He pulled me on stage at one of his concerts. My now husband noticed me, we spoke after the show and six months later we were married in the first row of another Mötley Crüe concert! Instead of getting matching wedding bands, we got matching Nikki Sixx tattoos! When I saw her makeup said limited edition, I bought 3 of everything. I love the Lolita lipstick, and the gold eyeliner has such a fine point. Oh yeah, I also bought 2 sets of her brushes,"" --Mindy, Stamford, Connecticut

"She's just beautiful. She doesn't seem pretentious, no matter how famous she's become, she still seems down to earth. I wear her really red Underage Red lipstick. It's cool that Kat makes it more acceptable to wear a smokey cat eye. I wear this look everyday, and I work in a daycare center." --Missy, New York


"Kat's completely unique. She's glamorous, has a rocker edge, and is chic. I love her Underage Red. It's a classic red every girl needs and will love. It has great texture and doesn't bleed like most reds do. Plus, it has great staying power." --Danielle, New Jersey





"She's an artist, she's rock 'n' roll, she gives back and is totally entertaining. Whatever she has we will buy," --Ashley, Union, New Jersey

"I like her art and how she's so sweet and still edgy," --Kring, New Jersey

"She's just gorgeous!" --Maria, New Jersey
