The Truth About Karen Faye Kissinger

A couple of months ago, a fan/justice supporter contacted me because he/she wanted me to do a blog post on Karen Faye Kissinger, Michael's long time "make-up artist". I decided to decline his/her suggestion because I did not want my blog to focus on low lives like Karen. That all changed when I read a comment on twitter of what Karen stated about iconic film director Spike Lee.

I do not make it a secret on my blog that I am not a supporter or fan of Karen. I never saw the big deal about someone that did the make up for Michael. Karen Faye wanted to be known to the fan community and wanted to have that type of fame of being Michael's sole make up artist because, like so many disturbed people who were in Michael's life, Karen wanted to be close to Michael for her own selfish desires. 

If Karen Faye had to trash Michael's family, friends, women, fans, work ethnic and thinking patterns just to prove to people that she knows MJ, she would do that and has done that. Karen does not care about the aftermath of her actions because she feels that what she is doing is right and no one can tell her that she is wrong.

Michael had a history of surrounding himself with people who did not have his best interests. Now that Michael is gone, these people, like Karen, who have made it a mission to speak about Michael, have authority to do so. This blog post will focus on the damage that Karen has caused in the MJ fan community and, in some way, Michael's legacy. 

I will explore Karen's work on Michael by posting pictures of Michael during the Off the Wall (before Karen worked for Michael) era up until his death and show the reader how Michael went from a gorgeous, charming looking man to a strange looking, man-child with make up that looked like it came from a crayon box than an actual beauty shop. 

I will get into Karen's history of her unprofessional behavior from trashing Michael's family, to making sure women in Michael's life were gone, to befriending some of Michael's fans who, for the most part are unstable and obsessive. I will post what Karen stated about Spike Lee and why I feel that what she stated about him was dangerous and not proven to be true. I will discuss why I feel that Karen working for Gloria Allred shows how much she never cared about Michael. Finally, I will discuss other celebrity make up artists/hairstylists who are professionals, studied their craft and decided to serve the public by using their craft to help others instead of going on social networking sites and telling their client's/employers personal situations to the world. 

Let's begin.

Q&A Sessions with: Michael Bush

I am starting a new feature on my blog called "Q and A Sessions" in which I contact an individual that had the honor to be related to, know, work with and/or collaborated with Michael Jackson. I have been contacting the certain individuals for months to do a session with them for my blog and without giving any information away, only a few responded. At least I get a response because there are some that did not even remotely respond. 

When I contacted the PR (public relations) group for Michael Bush's book King of Style: Dressing Michael Jackson, I did not think that I would get a response from them. I was shocked when I checked my email and the PR representative responded back. I gathered the questions that some fans and I had and sent those questions to the representative. After a few days, the questions were answered. 

To give you an idea who Michael Bush is he was the personal stylist for Michael from the mid-1980s up until Michael's murder in 2009. He, along with Michael and the late Dennis Tompkins created and patented the lean from Michael's short film, "Smooth Criminal", worked with Michael to create the gold leotard outfit that Michael made famous in the Dangerous tour in 1992-1993 and the very popular (with the ladies) gold pants outfit that Michael wore during his 1997 History tour. Mr. Bush also styled a lot of Michael's short films, photo publicity shoots and events that Michael attended over the years like the 1991 Oscars and the 1993 Grammys. Mr. Bush even styled Michael during the 2005 trial and for the final time in the private viewing in 2009.

Mr. Bush has written a book all about Michael's style called King of Style: Dressing Michael Jackson in which he goes in detail on how he, along with Michael, created the iconic styles that Michael wore throughout his career. The book will be released on October 30th, 2012. Here is the Q&A session with Mr. Bush.
