...I never EVER said that I think cuteness is the most important part of a KiSS doll or anything. I do like cute but that's not all I limit it to. I don't draw the semi-cutesy kind of dolls I do because I am conforming to Kimiki's style...I draw the clothes I like and the clothes I wear, and the clothes I would like to dress dolls up in. I wouldn't draw gothy clothes or punk clothes or "twinkie" clothes if it wasn't what I liked unless it was part of the character in the doll. "cute" is just what 50% of my clothing style choice fits into...
I also feel the need to defend young KiSS artists. Maybe the fact that I'm barely 14 and everyone is generalizing like crazy and saying "Young people are just competetive!" And that we all want to be popular! I don't want to be popular. I really would hate to get a thousand emails a day saying how great I am. I would hate to have formed a group of obsessed fans in which I am their ringleader. There are young KiSS artists who DO conform and getting a high rating is important to them but there are a lot of us who could care less! Bah. You say how young people get defensive because they think you older people don't think their opinions matter, but it's freaking TRUE! Well maybe not exactly. You sure do place that "young people" label on us enough to make it really really seem that way. But this really isn't a response to this post EXACTLY...
Okay I'm done *runs*I saw my name so I had to comment.
