Is this Dakota?

Noticed the model on the right when I was looking through the UK magazine Glamour (featuring Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover). The picture was in an ad for the launching of Miss Vogue.

The model on the right just made me think of Dakota. Not sure if it's her but I thought I'd share. Sorry if someone already shared this info.

[fictionfolly]

I'm curious as to why nothing is filled out on her profile except for a mini Q&A? Everyone else's 'stats' seem to be filled in (examples below). It should at least look like this:

Birthday - 1995/09/19

Birthplace - Chicago, Illinois or USA

Constellation - Virgo

And I have no idea of her blood type. 

I'm happy she's doing run way, that'll be a really fun experience. Hopefully she'll meet some friends. She must be doing something right if she's getting this many high profile jobs. Still, the lack of info just seems odd.

Part 3 of Kiki's Q&A is up. I'm bored so I sat through it. My favourite part:

Question: Do you/did you ever get people being rude to you in public/stare at you a lot because of your unique style?

Answer: "...A lot of people come up to me and ask me where I get my shoes or my clothing. So, I'm like a walking advertisement mannequin for people. Happens about, every time I go out..."

Translation: Send me stuff!!

Watch full 15 minute Q&A here >>

For those only interested in Kota, she talks about her once or twice after the 12:40 mark. She talks about her really lovingly and with a lot of energy. It seems like Kota is completly goofy at home with her sister, I wish that crossed over a bit in her videos.

Also, I had a post of an estimate of both Dakota and Kiki's fake followers but it's disappeared completely. I was never notified by Tumblr for a claim by the Ostrengas so is Tumblr being weird to anyone else's posts?

[fictionfolly]

So many people are saying that Dakota looks more natural and can't find shop evidence and junk. The girl has been home from Japan for HOW long? And HOW many videos has she made? 2? She's just flagging tumblr accounts and making sure her videos are well edited with no dancing chins. She's not using less 'shop, she's just getting much better and taking more time to make sure there are no evident anomaly's in her videos. How busy can this girl be in the US?

[fictionfolly]

Trying to get greasy gamer guys to come fap to her video. Can everyone please go flag this video as a misleading tag? This clearly belongs in fashion, if not the garbage.

Re-posting: Sozai Credit

The Ostrenga's removed quite a few of my posts with Kota and Kiki's images so I'm just re-posting this one. I guess I'll have to be like everyone else and start making horrible charactertures of them both, if those or public images (taken from fan twitter accounts, magazines, etc) are removed, I will dispute it. If it comes from Kota or Kiki's website, whatever, that's fair game.

You can get Venus' kawaii wreath here. You can also view a tutorial on how to use it here. I don't know if Venus didn't give credit intentionally or not, I just believe that credit should be given when available.

omg did cathy really say that to someone about how someone they fought was actually dead?

Yes. A guy named John Hock was bullying Kiki. That quote is from an answering machine she left on his phone which he put on the internet. The dead guy she's talking about is Danny Cespede's. A guy Cathy was charging with statutory rape against Kiki. He was arrested at a local mall and while arrested he jumped from the roof of the mall and died, I believe, 6 months after the ordeal from injuries from that action. It's rumoured that Cathy baited him to come to the mall somehow and that she actually encouraged sex between Kiki and Cespedes. If you google his name you'll find more info. You can listen to the machine recordings here. The Ostrenga's stalk the PULL forums any ways, so they know it exists by now.

I am using Photoshop CS5 for this tutorial, it can easily be translated to other programs as long as you understand how to work with layers.

Start by opening the picture you want to frame in Photoshop (I'm using a kitten image found here). Resize/retouch/etc it if necessary. Next, go here and right click and save the wreath you would like to use. You can get to the wreaths by clicking the link, then clicking on Item in the top bar and scrolling down and clicking agree, the link on the left side. If you get too confused, just use a translator. Moving on!

1. Open the wreath and photo in Photoshop. Go the to tool bar on the left hand side and choose the elliptical marquee tool (right click>elliptical marquee tool).

2. Once the elliptical marquee tool is chosen, go to the bar at the top of the page and use the drop down menu to choose 'Fixed Size'. Set both width and height to 220 px. 

3. If you simply click your wreath image a circle should appear. You don't want the dotted line to be smaller then the wreath. 220 px is the perfect sweet spot for this image, but if you ever use an image from another site, you will have to fiddle around with the size.

4. Now click the photo you want to place in the wreath. Align it as you'd like and then press Ctrl+C together (or Edit>Copy).

5. Now go back to your wreath and press Ctrl+V together (or Edit>Paste). Your photo should now be laying over top the wreath.

6. On the right side there is a bar that says Layer 0 (the wreath) and Layer 1 (your photo). Click and Drag Layer 0 above Layer 1. Your wreath should now be over your photo. Right click on a Layer and choose 'Merge Visible'.

You're done! Just save the image (I saved mine as .PNG) and post that sucker all over the internet!

Look familiar? Find her here.

I just want to clarify that I  don't know if the Dolls take these straight from the sources, or third party websites who have reposted it. But even so, they don't even credit the 3rd party source. This looked like it took a lot of time to make, and I believe someone should get credit for their hard work.

A kawaii-fied quote from Cathy.

Damn, I thought we were making progress Kota!

Can this girl try ANY harder. Really. And all the shop. Ugh.

And also: Kotakoti.com>FAQ>Place: America & Tokyo, Japan.

You might want to add South Korea too, huh Honey.

[fictionfolly]

You can get these edgy shades @ Shop.kikikannibal.com 

For a very kawaii $73. 

I remember reading her business was struggling in her Rolling Stone article. I wonder why...

[fictionfolly]

I don't know everyone is getting their panties in a twist over Kota going to South Korea.

It's probably just a flight lay over.

Seriously. I wouldn't put it past her to angle it the other way.

Ulzzang lip tutorial by Petit Poppy »

I think Kota uses that technique a lot, I just find it weird how her sister did a Youtube tutorial on it. Isn't this the second video now where she's kind of outted Kota? I think it was one of her other make up tutorials that looked a lot like how Kota does her make up.

Even if Kiki is trying to gain attention in Asia (or in general), I think she's going around it the wrong way. Her personality can be too weird and seem abrasive and her style is very weird. Very hobo meets festival meets fortune teller-esque... Maybe she's just trying to be a YT guru, but the top YT guru's are quite girly and 'normal', I don't see many people wearing the lavender gradient lip like in her new video. Maybe she's accepted who she is and she doesn't want to change that now. Or maybe it's just because if she dressed Ulzzang or Loli tomorrow all the truth/hate blogs would have a field day.

I think she's at a cross roads and she doesn't know how to re-invent herself, which is kind of sad.

I “koti-fied” this stock photo with PS CS4. Didn’t take too long and obviously I have a lot of things I would touch up if this were serious, but it’s not that hard to do! Also, it’s fun. I see why she does it.

[ugly-onthe-inside]

wow!

shilohhh's Photoshop skill level: Master Dakota

[fictionfolly]

I just want to say that there has been so much artwork on this tag lately. Most of it crazy characterture's of the Ostrenga sisters. Does this make you feel better girls? Instead of having your photos on this tag, there are now weird, sometimes creepy, artwork of you both. And you can't do a thing about it. I hope you guys don't regret your decision to censor the internet. 

Crazies.

[fictionfolly]

Changed her description so I grabbed it in case she changes it again. I don't get her deal. Wants to be kawaii so sucks up to truth blogs...

People are always going to hate Cupcake, no amount of sucking up is going to fix that. Plus using Venus and Dakota in the video is just going to get it taken down super fast. I don't get her, I'm done.
