GOODBYE 2007... GOOD FUCKING BYE!

Every year it seems like the months go by faster.. when I was younger, time used to go by so slow and I wanted so much from life but I had to wait until school was over. I had to wait for what my mother called "growing up" - it's been 3 years now since I graduated high school.. I'm 21 now and the days are going by so fast it's hard to look back on everything.. You sometimes don't realize what you have accomplished until you sit down for a second and reflect on everything that's happened in life. You remember where you came from and it makes you actually feel like you've done something important.

SO much has happened this past year. A few years ago I was just a broke kid from Orange County who had a dream, doing makeup for music and porn videos so I could eat and survive.. I'd look at everyone in front of the camera and think "I should be there.." I'd think that being behind the scenes wasn't for me. Seeing my friends on stage made me want this more than anything.. and now [fast forward] I've played sold out shows across the US and in other countries.. I've been on magazine covers, been on tv shows.. I've worked so hard for what I wanted..I've met so many amazing new friends along this journey and now I can support myself and buy everything I've ever wanted.. I can say fuck you to all the nonbelievers and I LOVE YOU too all the people who understand what I'm about and enjoy WHAT and WHO I am.. I NEVER thought that my t-shirts would be sold across the world and that so many amazing people would be into what I was.. it's crazy to think I was just some kid who people thought would never be anything. I always felt like I never wanted to go to college and follow the boring path that everyone else was gonna take after we graduated.. and I stuck to what I believed it. It's funny when people pretend to dislike me and say "what do you even DO? you're just famous for being YOU." which may have been true a few years ago when I was known for makeup but obviously I want to do everything, and I am.

I'm a musician, model, makeup artist, merchandise designer and QUEEN bitch ;)
BUT, I don't do ANYTHING right? 

Now I can sit here and reflect on life and realize that I'm actually HAPPY sometimes.. I haven't felt this way in a long time. I was so used to being happy being unhappy, that I forgot to look at the past, if that makes sense..
I have so much planned for 2008.. there are so many things to accomplish and I can't wait to start doing it all.. If you ever feel like giving up [because we all do, I feel like that all the time..] just know that anything is possible.. who would have thought that a pink haired freak show who called himself CUNT would turn into this, right? I love being able to laugh and smile about life.. I guess, I just want everyone to not feel so closed in about the future. When you're 16, you can't have it all. You have to wait and suffer and go through life, it's called LIVING. And it may suck right now, but it makes you who YOU are. I'm glad I haven't had everything handed to me, because then I wouldn't appreciate it at all.

The morning when I woke up and I realized that no one but myself mattered in the long run, was the moment I'll never forget. And I don't mean that in a self-absorbed way. I mean, not caring what anyone thinks about me when they don't know me. It's very easy to follow the crowd and be like everyone else.. but why not be who you are on the inside. Ignore opinions and people telling you what you should like. I just woke up and said "Fuck it, if I wanna like the Spice Girls and have pink hair then everyone else can get over it and learn how to have the guts to do what they want." That might sound stupid when you say it out loud but I have a lot of respect for people that don't succumb to what the world thinks is "right" - and that doesn't mean you have to have a bright color hair or dress weird to be considered "yourself" because that's constricting what I'm saying.. I just think that everyone should be happy without worrying what the person next to them is saying. Be strong. Be yourself. You only live once and I don't ever wanna change.
Don't give up on whatever it is you want to be. I get labeled a "bitch" because I don't put up with people putting me down. I don't turn around and pretend I don't hear people talking shit behind my back. I go up and tap them on the shoulder and say "fuck you" and that's what more people need to do. Stop being insecure and stand up for yourself. There's no time for fake friendships and hurt feelings. Look at yourself in the mirror and say "I don't care anymore" that may sound like Dr. Phil but I'm being serious. Stop caring if the guy you like doesn't like your weight. Stop worrying about if someone isn't going to like you because you like a band that they don't. It's all so petty. I'm proud to be a bitch instead of a coward.

My life may be weird and boring and stupid to some, but at least its mine--not some assembly line, secondhanded, hand-me-down life.

They said I'd never be anything but who has the world watching them? Who has such amazing and dedicated fans? People need to hate me because they hate themselves.They want to believe the rumors about me because they don't have their own rumors. I'm here to stay, with my diamond rims and pink lipstick, so get used to it and worry about yourself before you try and be negative towards me.
What does the future hold for Jeffree Star? Go and buy some sunglasses because the future is bright pink, bitch.

See you all SOON.. on the road.. on your tv screen.. through your speakers. I'll be there.

Love +Lipstick,



JEFFREE FUCKING STAR
