== Picture ==
someone should put up a picture of her...she's a nice looking woman

== her real Name ? ==

are there more details about her name ? I mean, according to the article, her real name is Katherine von Drachenberg, while her father is named René Drachenberg. Where does the "von" come from ? Or is her real name just Katherine Drachenberg, without the "von" ? Also, it would be interesting to know, if she has some german ancestors, because Drachenberg is a german Name (translated into english the name means Dragon-Mountain) --[[User:87.177.223.142|87.177.223.142]] 22:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

::::Perhaps it helps to clear the about European "von", "van", "de" and sorts. They are not part of the name, but represent a suffix showing nobel ancestry. While some countries in Europe remain monarchies, most of them are republics today - and thus have no legal nobility any more. In Germany it's costumary to write the "von"/"zu" before the actual name in the passports, but if asked for the family name itself the prefixes are not mentioned. So, Katherine's name is very certainly Drachenberg, whether the "von" is an real prefix or part of the artistic persona, is her's to disclose. I hope, I could help unravel the mixup. --[[Special:Contributions/92.231.35.17|92.231.35.17]] ([[User talk:92.231.35.17|talk]]) 00:35, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

:::::Kat Von D has given her name as '''Katherine von Drachenberg''' in two German interviews; (translation): ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'': "Kat, your surname is von Drachenberg. That is a German name..." Kat von D: "Yes, there is a castle 'von Drachenberg' somewhere in South Germany, which is owned by some of my relatives. I've got a postcard, but I was never there." & ''Der Spiegel'': "Kat von D is the abbreviation of Katherine von Drachenberg..." Kat von D: "Yes, my father's mother is German.

::::::There is no castle Drachenberg in Germany, especially not in Southern Germany. There is a villa called Drachenburg, that looks like a castle, in Northrhine-Westphalia, it was however built in the 1880ies for a man called Stephan Sarter, who bought the gentry title of Freiherr von Sarter after making a fortune in the stock exchange. The entertainment section of the respectable Frankfurter Rundschau reports, that she claims her 'ancesters' have been seated there... Stephan vn Sarter was neither noble, nor called 'von Drachenberg'. There is no known Drachenberg family in the German nobiliariesas of today, which are all accessible per internet. I believe it's fair to say, someone added this lore to make her and her supposed German ancestry seem more interesting, but none of it checks out. --[[Special:Contributions/92.194.118.176|92.194.118.176]] ([[User talk:92.194.118.176|talk]]) 02:56, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

::::::Yes, these quotes have been in this article for quite some time now and the various editors who have worked on this have been aware of them. In neither quote does she say, "My father's name is von Drachenberg." All she says is that her father's mother is German. That's all. And aside from the fact that whether the castle genuinely is owned by relatives &mdash; a claim needs to be independently confirmed &mdash; her own bio on her own official site gives the family name as simply Drachenberg. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 15:00, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

:::::::...are you able to read? In the Spiegel when asked: "Kat von D is the abbreviation of Katherine von Drachenberg..."? she answered: "Yes, my father's mother is German. Somewhere in South Germany there is a castle with this name...". So when asked "is it von Drachenberg", she said "YES". However, the bio you are talking about was written "as told by one who knows her", in this case, Kore Flatmo. Apart from that, it is very common for German aristocratic families to not use their "von" in public, for example Richard Weizsäcker, Otto Solms, etc. --[[Special:Contributions/89.204.152.55|89.204.152.55]] ([[User talk:89.204.152.55|talk]]) 15:38, 26 January 2012 (UTC)--[[User:IIIraute|IIIraute]] ([[User talk:IIIraute|talk]]) 15:44, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

None of that means that it's ''her father's''' name; old-world affectations are often dropped by immigrants in the new world. In her official bio, which she approved, she give her father's name without the "von."

::Genuine blue-blooded "von Drachenberg" stem from the Dragollovicz Edle von Drachenberg from what is Hungary today.

Just for reference: United States public records (which can be viewed on familysearch.org) show Katherine B.

Is there any source of this? I've looked around the net and found nothing saying they were divorced. It seems that they may be in the process of getting divorced, but I haven't found anything stating they are.

She discusses it somewhere during an interview with Tom Green currently on her myspace,

==Jesse James cheating==
I'm not clear on how a statement from Kat Von D about James cheating on her could be removed on the basis of it being "tabloidery". This seems to be a misunderstanding about what a tabloid is. They are papers that release rumors without adequate sourcing. The statement from Kat Von D is a direct quote from her that was reported on in multiple reliable sources. It adds important context to their relationship and I feel it should be included. - [[User:Maximusveritas|Maximusveritas]] ([[User talk:Maximusveritas|talk]]) 19:24, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
:Tabloidery extends to all sorts of unencyclopedic material, especially that catering to voyeuristic interest in the more salacious details of celebrity romance and sexuality. It is impossible to square the inclusion of one party's wholly unverified, thoroughly tawdry accusations against a former sexual partner with WP:BLP's strict requirements.

::So does that mean we should remove all the discussion of alleged affairs from [[Bill Clinton]]'s page? The references there are even more salacious and unverified ("Kathleen Willey alleged Clinton groped her in a hallway in 1993") without adding any context to the article. There's nothing in WP:BLP that would prohibit this in my opinion. In fact, it gives the following example: "Example: A politician is alleged to have had an affair. He or she denies it, but multiple major newspapers publish the allegations, and there is a public scandal. The allegation belongs in the biography, citing those sources. However, it should only state that the politician was alleged to have had the affair, not that he actually did." The only question in my mind is whether this is noteworthy enough and I feel that it is given that there are multiple reliable 3rd party sources reporting it and that it provides important context into the nature of their split. - [[User:Maximusveritas|Maximusveritas]] ([[User talk:Maximusveritas|talk]]) 04:01, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

'''Makeup line'''
Kat von D's makeup line has had quite an impact on the makeup community. Should someone ad a section about her line, where it's sold, and what she stands for? She doesn't simply support veganism, she has come up with many creative ways to produce products that are vegan friendly and cruelty free. I know she has successfully come out with an entire line of products that are pretty popular in Sephora and on her brand's website. I think those would be good things to discuss and include on her biography page.

== Disqualification from contest - additional ==

With regard to my reversion [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Kat_Von_D&diff=792085315&oldid=792058015 here] I ran out of edit summary space, but to expand - the insertion edit summary was ''"...contained several strong opinions and no evidence..."'' - in this case evidence of the validity of her opinion is not required. Whether those opinions are true, and whether evidence can be found to support them is not in the remit of this section or article - the point is that they ''are her opinions'' and they are the reason she gave for the disqualification.

In July 2017, makeup artist Gypsy Freeman said that after she had won a beauty contest run by Kat Von D Beauty, the status of her victory has become a matter of contention because Freeman had praised [[Donald Trump]] on her [[Instagram]] page. Von D told her, "I just need you to know that I personally have a hard time with inviting anyone who would support such an anti-feminist, anti-homosexual/LGBT, anti-immigrant, and anti-climate change fascist such as Trump." However, the original rules of the contest had stated that any legal U.S. resident 18 or older was eligible to win. Freeman said the photographer who shot her entry, Jenn Bischof, was allowed to attend the contest's associated launch party in her place. Media reports did not say whether or not Freeman had received the $500 gift certificate to Sephora that had been listed as part of the original prize.<ref name=":0">{{cite news|url=http://www.kansascity.com/news/state/kansas/article162859068.html |title=Wichitan won national contest, was disqualified for supporting Trump, she says|first=Matt|last=Riedel|work=[[The Kansas City Star]]|location=Kansas|date= July 21, 2017|accessdate=July 23, 2017|archivedate=July 23, 2017| archiveurl=http://archive.is/9RAs6| deadurl=no}}</ref> In these messages to Freeman, Kat Von D says she has "drawn a personal line in the sand between myself and anyone who supports that man."<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/kat-von-d-contest-winner-disqualified-for-supporting-trump/|title=Kat Von D contest winner disqualified for supporting Trump|access-date=2017-07-26|language=en}}</ref>

:There was no consensus in favor of the reinsertion of this contentious edit. Yet the editor above, using slow-motion edit-warring, unilaterally reinserted the contentious content despite there being no consensus for it.

:Wikipedia operates on consensus. There is not consensus for this contentious material. At this state, the proper thing to do is for you to call for an [[WP:RfC]] and not continue to edit-war. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 18:26, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

:And I'm a little confused because even [[User:Bk33725681|Bk33725681]] concedes that Von D did not disqualify or de-select the winner: "I am not deselecting you - like I said I personally chose your entry because of your talent - and I could would never take that away." So where is the controversy? --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 18:29, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

What's with the new pronouncements that she's an anti-vaxxer? Can we get something here to back that up, with sources? [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley|talk]]) 08:49, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
