0:00:00.000,0:00:05.389 Glamour Dolls failed to comply with[br]those obligations when it engaged in a 0:00:05.389,0:00:10.319 failed online advertising campaign on[br]Kickstarter, using LFI, Lisa Frank's brand 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 without LFI's approval and then refused to[br]pay royalties due when LFI properly 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 terminated the party's contracts as a[br]result of Glamour Dolls' misconduct. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Wait a minute. She didn't know about the[br]Kickstarter? Hello my friend, I will 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 honestly tell you that until late last[br]night, I did not think that I was filming 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a video about Lisa Frank and Glamour[br]Dolls today. I actually had a full video 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 planned about preservative-free cosmetics[br]and how freaking ridiculous and dangerous 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 preservative-free cosmetics are. But then[br]I got a very interesting comment from a 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 person named "Fake Goth Girl." Okay. I get[br]a link. The link is to a court document 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that I had not previously had access to.[br]This document is Lisa Frank's point of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 view. It is her counter suit. This is Lisa[br]Frank saying "Glamour Dolls is the bad 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 guy, not me. I didn't do anything wrong -[br]they're the ones that did something 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 wrong." So in today's video, I want to go[br]over Lisa's side of things - what she says 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in the court documents is the reason why[br]she pulled out of her contract with 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Glamour Dolls that left backers of the[br]Kickstarter out all of their money - over 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 $400,000 of their money, including my[br]money. My $75? Gone. If you have no idea 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 what I'm talking about, that's because[br]this is Part 2. I strongly strongly 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 suggest you please watch Part 1 of this.[br]It will be linked below. It will be up in 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a card. It is the background for this[br]video - this video might not make sense 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 if you don't watch that one first. If you[br]don't feel like you have time for an hour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and a half long video, what you can do is[br]you can scrub through the timestamps, kind 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of get the idea of what it is. You can[br]also play it on 1.5 speed if you want to. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And I will tell you that the average[br]amount of watch time on that video for a 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 single view is about 40 minutes. That has[br]literally never happened on my channel. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is a story that I think you want to[br]hear and and that I think that you are 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 going to be engaged in if you choose to.[br]That being said, we are starting at Part 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 2. I'm assuming at this point that you[br]have seen that video and that you have 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that background knowledge. And also[br]side note, I mentioned this at the end of, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the video, but there's probably about 40[br]comments mentioning Bailey Sarian's video 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 on Lisa Frank, based on the Jezebel[br]article that we talked about in the first 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 part of this. Yes, I am fully aware of[br]Bailey's video. I have met Bailey. I have 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 collaborated with Bailey. Bailey did a[br]fantastic job on that video. That video is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 more about Lisa Frank as a person, so if[br]you want even more context for the story, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I highly recommend you go watch Bailey's[br]video as well. What we're gonna do with 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this part is I'm actually gonna put Lisa[br]Frank's lawsuit on the side of me so if 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 you are fluent in Legalese, you can follow[br]along and see the match up of what I'm 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 saying. Surprisingly, a lot of is is[br]pretty clear cut and there isn't a ton of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 lawyer language in this that was difficult[br]to understand. So if you would like to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 read along, it is going to be next to me[br]over here. Here we go. So this is what 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa says. This is her side of things.[br]This is all about the deal in 2016, the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 original deal that she had. Lisa says they[br]struck the deal in June of 2016 that would 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 end on December 31st of 2017 - that[br]matches up with Glamour Dolls' side, so 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I'm assuming there's legal contracts, so[br]there's evidence of this. So Glamour Dolls 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in that original contract, agreed to pay[br]Lisa Frank 15% royalty on the net sales 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the products made under the deal, with[br]a minimum payment of $100,000 for the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 duration of the agreement, including a[br]$25,000 advance. Glamour Dolls promised to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 do their best, to make, sell, promote, and[br]market the products to get as many sales 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 as possible, always focusing on high[br]quality. Now this part is very very 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 important because this is really the root[br]of why everything went wrong. They had to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 get Lisa Frank's approval on literally[br]everything, from the design concepts to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the artwork, to the molds for production,[br]to the final product samples before going 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 into production. Lisa Frank had the right[br]to approve or reject the elements and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Glamour Dolls had to follow Lisa Frank's[br]directions on quality standards. Now 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 listen to this because this is part of the[br]reason why things were taking so long. So, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for designs, Glamour Dolls had to wait up[br]to 10 business days - that's about two 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 weeks or so - for Lisa Frank to approve[br]or reject anything that they submitted to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 her. If Lisa didn't respond in time,[br]Glamour Dolls was allowed to ask after 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 those 10 business days, "Hey, what's going[br]on? I need a full description of why you 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 reject this or I need an approval." But[br]this is the kicker! Because even after 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 approval, and remember, this is according[br]to Lisa herself, Lisa could stop the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 production and distribution of the[br]products if they didn't meet her quality 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 standards. That's a subjective thing -[br]that is not something that can be 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 measured. Lisa can just for any reason,[br]just say "This doesn't meet my quality 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 standards" and stop production at any[br]point. And it wasn't just for production 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of product. It also had to do with[br]advertising, packaging, display methods, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 press releases - anything using Lisa Frank[br]artwork - Glamour Dolls had to run this by 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa. They had to wait for those 10[br]business days and then if she didn't 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 respond in 10 business days, then they had[br]to poke her about it and be like "Dude, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 what's going on?" They had to keep poking[br]her if she didn't respond after those 10 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 business days. So remember this original[br]contract that I personally believe was to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 create the blush, the highlighter, and the[br]two brushes - that contract was ending 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in December. But remember the Kickstarter[br]had started in February. We're now in 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 December. February - they promised backers[br]10 additional products beyond these four 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that had already been funded. Lisa's[br]contract is about to end, so they need to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 start a new contract. This is what Lisa[br]says was in the new contract: same 15% 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 royalty on the net sales of the products[br]plus 20% royalty on sales made directly to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 retail customers. So this would be if[br]people bought it off of Ipsy's marketplace 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 or if people bought it from Hot Topic,[br]or at one point they were talking to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Walmart - any of those, Lisa would get a[br]20% royalty off of. Beyond that, in the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 first contract, Lisa asked for at least[br]$100,000 for her fees. In the new 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 contract, Lisa upped that to $500,000.[br]That included an up front payment of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 $125,000 that needed to be paid when the[br]contract was signed. Three more payments 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 would be paid throughout the year to total[br]that $500,000. The rules for making the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 products were pretty much the same as the[br]first contract. All of the levels of "you 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 need to send it to Lisa and she needs to[br]approve it" and then the 10 business days 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 - all of that was pretty much the same.[br]The only thing that changed, which we'll 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 find out more about in just a minute, is[br]that they did not have to get pre-shipment 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 approval. So Lisa has already approved[br]the final draft of the product, they have 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 put that into production, they now have[br]the products - they've got thousands and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 thousands of these products - they don't[br]have to send those products to Lisa for 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 approval anymore. But there is a clause -[br]because of course there is - if there were 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 any production problems, if after all of[br]these things were sent out and Lisa 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 decided that there was a production[br]problem, there was something she didn't 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 like, Glamour Dolls would have to pay[br]damages for that. What would those 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 damages be? I have no idea, it's not in[br]here. Another thing that's very important 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in Lisa's side of the story is that they[br]said that Lisa could end the deal 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 immediately if Glamour Dolls broke certain[br]rules, like not following the approval 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 process or having production issues 3[br]times. If Lisa decided that she was 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 going to terminate the agreement, Glamour[br]Dolls had to not only stop making 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 products, they had to stop selling their[br]existing products. Then they had to turn 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 over the rights to the artwork. Anything[br]that Lisa had created for Glamour Dolls 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 would now be owned by Lisa. And you might[br]be seeing where this might be going - 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 maybe if you watched part 1. Because she[br]did that. That happened. In context. you 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 have to remember that this is 3 months[br]past the date that Glamour Dolls had 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 promised products would be done and[br]shipped to backers. So they are deep deep 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in it now. They are sending out that[br]digital Christmas card, where people can 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 send it to their families, saying "Hey,[br]you know, you might be getting some Lisa 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Frank products that I bought for you at[br]some point. This is what's coming." That's 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where we're at. A lot of the backers are[br]already irritated by this point. From 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa's side, she says in her court[br]documents that LFI, or Lisa Frank 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Incorporated, fully performed its[br]obligations under the license agreements - 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I do believe Glamour Dolls would argue[br]against that. They say specifically 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Glamour Dolls repeatedly failed to meet[br]their responsibilities under the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 agreements they had with Lisa Frank. This [br]is how Lisa says Glamour Dolls messed up. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And remember, she's going to have to prove[br]this for her counter suit. This is what 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 she says - she says they didn't put in[br]enough effort to produce, distribute, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 promote, and sell the products that they[br]were supposed to. She says that they 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 didn't aim to sell as many high quality[br]products as they could, that they had 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 signed off in their contract. She says [br]that they use Lisa Frank artwork in ads 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and packaging without getting approval[br]first, which was against their rules of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the contract. She says Glamour Dolls was[br]late in making and delivering the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 products, which they were. She says that [br]Glamour Dolls didn't follow the agreed 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 upon process for getting products [br]inspected and approved, that they didn't 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 pay the royalties and the minimum amounts[br]that they were supposed to, and that they 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 used the Kickstarter to sell products[br]without getting the okay from Lisa Frank 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Incorporated, which was of course not[br]allowed. Finally, they say that Glamour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Dolls promised products to backers and[br]then never shipped them out, which is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 true. But the question is: why didn't they[br]ship them out? What was stopping them 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 from doing it? Was it a fault of Glamour[br]Dolls or was it a fault of Lisa? We're 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 still in Lisa's perspective, so let's[br]follow that. Lisa says that even through 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 all of the things that I just listed - the[br]things that are in Lisa's filing - she 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 continued to try to work with Glamour[br]Dolls to make things work. She says she 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 did this only because she felt like, if[br]she didn't continue with Glamour Dolls and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 see this through and get the backers what[br]they ordered, that it would damage Lisa 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Frank. It would damage her and her brand.[br]It wasn't about making sure that people 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 got what they paid for, it was about the[br]damage it would cause to her reputation 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and her brand's reputation. She says in[br]her statement that, you know, that Glamour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Dolls had made all these promises and[br]they failed to go through on them, that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they even said that they were shipping[br]things to people that they never shipped 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to them, which I don't know if it's[br]actually true. Because from what I've 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 seen, anybody that was supposed to get[br]the eyeshadow and the bronzer and the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 postcard did get those things. There is[br]some question, at least in the comments 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 underneath my last video of whether people[br]who ordered the brush separately, whether 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they actually got their brush. So maybe[br]that's what Lisa is talking about. Lisa 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 says that Glamour Dolls ignored rules[br]that they had to follow to get Lisa's 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 approval before making anything. She says[br]that they attempted to make or change 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 products without talking to her first.[br]And also that they didn't give her the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 samples required that she needed to[br]review. The perspective here is that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because of those failures, people started[br]blaming Lisa Frank and not Glamour Dolls, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where she's saying it wasn't her fault,[br]it was Glamour Dolls' fault. She said that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 people began to think that Lisa Frank was[br]scamming them, leaving negative comments 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and complaints online that damaged LFI's[br]reputation. It was only because Glamour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Dolls broke their side of the contract[br]so many times that she ended the contract 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 formally in July of 2018, which is what[br]Glamour Dolls had said, that she abruptly 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 just ended the contract. What Glamour[br]Dolls had said was before she ended the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 contract, she required them to pay that[br]final $125,000 to her and then once she 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 got the money, she terminated the contract[br]and that they didn't know she was going to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 do that when she took the money.[br]Supposedly, LFI reminded Glamour Dolls 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that they needed to do the things that[br]were in the contract, that if she ended 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it, that they needed to do - things like[br]returning all the artwork and paying any 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 royalties owed. However, she says Glamour[br]Dolls didn't pay what they owed or follow 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 through on other responsibilities after[br]the termination, leading to more problems 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and losses for LFI. So at the final part[br]of the complaint, Lisa says "This is what 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I want the court to give me." She says she[br]wants to be paid damages, which means all 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the money that they should have[br]received under the agreements with Glamour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Dolls - the exact amount of how much she[br]should be paid would be decided at trial. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Then she wants to be paid back for all of[br]the costs and all of the expenses and the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 lawyer's fees as allowed by law. She also[br]wants to receive interest on any money 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 awarded to them, both before and after the[br]court's decision at 18% per year and it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 looks like, you know, this happened in[br]2018, it's now 2024, so that's a lot of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 freakin' interest. I'm not going to do the[br]math in my brain right now because it's 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 physically and mentally impossible for me[br]but that's a lot of money. And finally, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 she's like "And if the court wants to[br]give me something else, if you think 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 there's something else that's fair, feel[br]free. You can give me that too." So that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is Lisa's filing. I have lots of thoughts[br]my friend. Do you have thoughts? Because 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 if you have thoughts, put 'em in the[br]comment section because I'm wondering if 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we have the exact same thoughts. That's[br]what the collective brain is all about, is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 us bouncing ideas off of each other and in[br]a recorded video, it's a little harder. So 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 if you have thoughts, definitely leave[br]them in the comments. I'm gonna tell you 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 mine. Okay, so I have questions. [laughs][br]I have 3 major questions. The first one is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 "What was the timeline for approving the[br]Kickstarter?" Because eventually, Lisa was 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 participating in the Kickstarter, at least[br]it looks like she was participating in the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Kickstarter. So I am curious what Glamour[br]Dolls' side of this is, in that do they 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 say that they did the Kickstarter without[br]talking to Lisa? Because I noticed 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 something that was in their paperwork that[br]they filed. They label Kickstarter as a 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 business that they were trying to get to[br]work with, right? So it's listed in with 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Ipsy and Hot Topic; they also list[br]Kickstarter. So it was seen by them - it 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 looks like - as just another way to sell[br]products and I don't know if that was in 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the contract, that they had to clear what[br]retailers they were gonna work with with 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa. Where I think that Lisa may have[br]them on this is that they had to use Lisa 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Frank artwork and they had to promote this[br]using Lisa Frank branded stuff for the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Kickstarter before it even started.[br]Remember Candy's video. I wish I could 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 show you the video - it is killing me that[br]this video is private and I can't show 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 you the full video. But Candy clearly[br]uses Lisa Frank artwork in the video to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 promote this Kickstarter. If Lisa didn't[br]know about the Kickstarter, then she 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 didn't approve the artwork to be used in[br]Candy's video or any other promotional 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 things that they did for the Kickstarter.[br]So then Lisa would have them on that. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 That's what I'm thinking most likely[br]happened - I mean of course it's possible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that Glamour Dolls did talk to Lisa and[br]tell her about the Kickstarter beforehand 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and did get all of the artwork approved[br]and all of that, but it sounds like Lisa 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is saying "No, that didn't happen." So[br]my next question associated with that - 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it's kind of a sub question to question[br]number 1 - is "When did Lisa find out 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 about the 10 products that they promised[br]to the Kickstarter backers? When did she 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 agree to that?" Because it seems like that[br]first contract from 2016 was really for 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 those 4 products that they actually did[br]produce and put out there - the blush 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 brush, the crease brush, the bronzer, and[br]the eyeshadows. Single eyeshadows, not 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 eyeshadow palettes, the single eyeshadows.[br]The ones that were sold at Hot Topic. It 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is very very likely that Lisa was on board[br]with the Kickstarter about a month after 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the Kickstarter started because in March,[br]they show posts that are specifically from 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa, participating in encouraging people[br]to enter these contests, to perform these 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 tasks, to show their nail looks and things[br]like that. Lisa is posting there. So if 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this is really Lisa posting - which it[br]doesn't really make any sense to me that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it wouldn't be Lisa because Glamour Dolls[br]wouldn't be able to, like, hide that from 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa - they would have to explain that[br]so it doesn't really make sense to me 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that that wasn't actually Lisa posting.[br]But she was clearly participating and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 on board in March. Another clue that Lisa[br]was involved in the Kickstarter from the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 launch of the Kickstarter was that just[br]a few days after the launch, Glamour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Dolls posted that Lisa was going to go[br]into her vault and the first 1,000 backers 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 were going to get a very special gift[br]from Lisa in their box when they got their 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 stuff. They would get a second - what they[br]called a treat - if they hit 2,000 backers 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and that Lisa had something really special[br]planned if they made it to 10,000 backers. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So I'm very curious to see if this piece[br]comes out in court. My second question is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 "Why the hell did Glamour Dolls sign this[br]terrible ass contract?" This is the most 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 bull**** contract I think I have ever[br]read. It is absolutely nuts. The part that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 is the most unbelievable for me is that[br]Glamour Dolls signed this is the whole 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 approval process. It is absolutely[br]ridiculous. Both sides agree that this was 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the process. So they have an idea, right?[br]They start with the idea. Let's use the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Trapper Keeper palettes as an example.[br]So they have an idea that they want to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 create a palette that looks like a Trapper[br]Keeper. So they get this plain white 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Trapper Keeper palette made by the[br]factory. Glamour Dolls then takes this 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 white packaging, this plain plastic[br]packaging that's the mock-up, send it to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa, wait 10 business days. If she[br]doesn't answer, they have to poke her and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 get her to give feedback. If she does[br]approve of it, Glamour Dolls then takes 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 her ideas, whatever she wants changed, and[br]lets the manufacturing facility know. Then 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they get another mock-up. Then they send[br]that to Lisa. They wait 10 days, they wait 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for the feedback. All of that happens all[br]over again until Lisa's happy. I didn't 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 see anything on either said that said Lisa[br]had a limit to how many changes she could 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 make. So let's assume she's now approved[br]the mold. Now they have to wait for Lisa 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to make the artwork. Once the artwork[br]comes in, again, they send it over to the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 manufacturer. The manufacturer puts it on[br]the product. Then Glamour Dolls has to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 have two samples of it that they then send[br]over to Lisa and wait those 10 business 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 days again. If she doesn't respond, then[br]they poke her - same process all over 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 again, where she can either reject it or[br]accept it. Do you see how this is so 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 freaking ridiculous? Because it's not even[br]over then! Even after Lisa has approved 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the final designed product, when they[br]manufacture it - let's say they make 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 10,000 of them, because this did happen -[br]they make 10,000 of them, they have to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 send 2 of the 10,000 to Lisa for final[br]approval before they can ship those out 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to customers. And I will tell you my[br]friend, this actually happened - 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 according to Glamour Dolls - with the[br]vegan leather makeup bag. This is the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 draft picture of the vegan leather makeup[br]bag that was not designed, that people 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 really excited about. This is the final[br]design that was supposedly "The One," the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 makeup bag. Well it turns out, according[br]to Glamour Dolls, Lisa didn't like this 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and after they had printed 10,000 of[br]these, Lisa said she didn't want it to be 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 vegan leather anymore; she wanted it to[br]be glitter plastic. And because of the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 sh**** ass contract that they signed,[br]they couldn't sell those 10,000 bags that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they had already made because she had[br]approved the sample. They had to start all 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 over again with a glitter bag design. I[br]mean how f***ing ridiculous is this? The 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 fact that Glamour Dolls signed this[br]contract, did they not have a lawyer 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 read it? Like what happened? How did this[br]get through? From the very jump, this 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 should have just never happened and I'm[br]sure Glamour Dolls in hindsight is 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 thinking the exact same thing. And my[br]third question is "Why would they start a 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Kickstarter in February, knowing that[br]Lisa's contract was ending in December?" 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because that's where they really got[br]screwed. This is what I'm thinking: I'm 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 thinking Lisa designed all of the products[br]and got everything going for those first 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 four products before the Kickstarter[br]even started. And that was why Glamour 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Dolls wanted to do more work with her.[br]They were like "Yes, this was so smooth, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this was so easy. Let's keep this going a[br]little longer. We have until December, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it's only February. We have all this time.[br]We pushed out those four products pretty 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 quickly as far as getting through this[br]process, so let's do 10 more! We've got 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this." Glamour Dolls said publicly that[br]they didn't start having problems with 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa slowing down the process until June[br]of 2017. So that was after the Kickstarter 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 had already started, but before the[br]estimated ship date that they told the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 backers of September. And it makes sense[br]because if they started signing the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 contract in June of 2016, by February,[br]they had made and designed 4 products. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Assuming that Lisa was done with all of[br]the designs and all of the things and all 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of the approvals by the time that the[br]Kickstarter started so that's about 8 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 months. So they're thinking "Well yeah[br]this was so easy, we should be able to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 push out more products by December, by[br]the time Lisa's contract ends." So now I 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 shall present to you the worst case[br]scenario of Lisa's a raging b****. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 [laughter] That's where we're gonna go[br]with this. This is worst case scenario 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 what happened, in that Lisa knew her[br]contract was ending in December, she knew 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that she could slow down this process in[br]order to get a new contract in December 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and price gauge the hell out of Glamour[br]Dolls. She knew that they had already 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 promised all of these products to the[br]backers. She knew that they probably 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 given her $125,000 of the backers' money.[br]She knew that Glamour Dolls was already 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 using the backer money in order to get[br]these samples and ship them to her. The 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 $370,000 that the backers had paid,[br]probably a lot of it was already spent 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because that's why they started wanting -[br]needing more money. They started selling 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the products on BackerKit, they started[br]selling the crease brush on their website, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they really started courting Hot Topic to[br]try to sell products over there because 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa was taking all of the Kickstarter[br]backers' money for herself and they were 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 using it for the manufacturing of these[br]products and they knew it wasn't enough to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 see this whole project through because[br]remember they've got 10 products they're 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 trying to make by December. So time[br]passes, Lisa drags this out, drags this 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 out, and then drops the bomb on Glamour[br]Dolls: "If you want this to continue, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 after all this money that you spent,[br]you're gonna have to pay me $500,000, not 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 $100,000 anymore. It's $500,000 and you[br]know when you sell to Hot Topic? You're 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 not gonna give me 15%, you're gonna give[br]me 20%." But at that point, they were so 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 far deep in it that they couldn't get out[br]of it. They absolutely couldn't get out 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of it. Another place that they probably[br]spent the backers' money was on Wengie 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because remember the call that Peter did[br]with the backers? He mentions very 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 briefly paying for a video. I'll play that[br]for you. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Peter): We actually didn't make a profit[br]off of this Kickstarter campaign. I know 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that's, um, it's a hard thing for people[br]to, um, to kind of believe with the size 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 of it. But, um, we have to manufacture all[br]those goods, uh, we have licensing fees 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to pay to Lisa, um, we had to pay for, you[br]know, uh, for production of the video and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 for all these different things. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Jen) I don't know this for a fact but[br]I think he took the money from the backers 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and paid Wengie to make that video.[br]Who knows how much he paid her because 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 influencer rates back then, you know, it[br]was brand new, you know, influencers 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 getting paid for sponsored videos and[br]things like that. I have no idea how much 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they paid Wengie but I would imagine that[br]was part of where the money was going and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 why they needed to raise more money.[br]Because now in December, they not only 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 have to get all of these 10 products[br]manufactured but they also have to pay 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa this $500,000. Lisa officially had[br]Glamour Dolls by the unicorn balls. I mean 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 like, she was-she had them. They had no[br]choice, in my opinion, if this is the way 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it played out, other than to sign that[br]contract and just hope for the best. If 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 all of this is true - let's say they say[br]"Screw you Lisa, we're not paying you 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 $500,000, we're cutting off the contract[br]now." How do they pay back the backers? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They can't. They don't have the money[br]anymore. It's gone. They don't have the 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 money to pay back the backers so they are[br]absolutely screwed. Some other things 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that I found in the Glamour Dolls part of[br]the lawsuit that I didn't see when I made 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the last video that I want to let you know[br]because now, I imagine at some point, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 there'll be a part 3 [laughter] of this[br]video is that they were saying more 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 things about how Lisa interfered with the[br]production of the product. So in the court 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 filing, it says "Lisa Frank frequently and[br]unreasonably rejected already manufactured 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 samples without being specific as to the[br]reason for disapproval." In their filing, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they said that there was a problem with[br]the Ipsy products. They said "in one 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 instance, due to Lisa Frank's failure to[br]timely provide artwork for the Ipsy sales 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 order, Glamour Dolls missed the artwork[br]deadline and was forced to pay a fine in 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the amount of $50,500." The filing[br]continued on and said that Glamour Dolls 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 was shipping her out samples and then[br]she'd be like - 10 business days later - 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 "Oh I lost them, can you send more of[br]them?" It's like, "wait what? What?" And 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in this case, they may not have more[br]samples because they requested a certain 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 number of samples from the lab and then[br]they mail the samples to Lisa Frank and 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 then Lisa loses them so then they have to[br]ask the lab for more samples and they have 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to pay for that and then get those[br]samples and then send those - wait for 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 those to come in - then send those to Lisa[br]and then they have to wait for Lisa to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 approve those. Do you see how it's just[br]dragging everything out? And you remember 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 how I said as part of the contract - this[br]was so, so if this is how it happened - 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that part of the contract was that Lisa[br]would get her artwork back and that's 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 what she did. She used that artwork on the[br]Morphe products. The artwork she made for 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Glamour Dolls. You can see it on the[br]Trapper Keeper-style palette that Morphe 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 had made. But to be true to the title of[br]this video, Lisa says that "Glamour Dolls 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 failed to comply with the inspection and[br]approval process. Lisa's gonna have to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 prove this in court. She's gonna have to[br]show them the evidence that Glamour Dolls 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 didn't go through the proper approval[br]process because even if it's unfair - 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this is the thing about the law - even if[br]it's unfair, even if it's unreasonable, if 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Glamour Dolls signed that contract and[br]said that they were gonna follow a certain 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 process, they had to follow that process,[br]even if it's bull****. And if Lisa can 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 prove that they did things that were[br]against the process, then she had a right 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to terminate the contract and get her[br]artwork and then sell it to Morphe. It's 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 just so fu***d up! [laughter] It's just[br]so messed up! But we definitely need to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 end this video the same way we ended the[br]last one in that the most current ruling 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 by the judge for the 9 claims that Glamour[br]Dolls has against Lisa Frank - the judge 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 only dismissed part of claim 1. That was[br]the breach of contract; they partially 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 dismissed that but the judge says that[br]Glamour Dolls can go forward on part of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the breach of contract and everything[br]else - including unjust enrichment, fraud, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 defamation, and all of those things -[br]that they're moving forward with those 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 claims, which means that the judge thinks[br]that Glamour Dolls has enough evidence to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 support that these things happened. Not[br]that Lisa isn't going to counter with 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 something else but Glamour Dolls does[br]have a case to present. And also like I 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 mentioned in the last video, the last[br]court filing for this was January 24th, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 2024, so this is going to be ongoing, so I[br]imagine at some point, there will be a 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 part 3. I don't imagine it will be soon[br]but I said that last time, so [laughter] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 who knows? At this point my friend, it is[br]your turn in the collective brain of 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 makeup awesomeness. I would love to know[br]your thoughts on this new information that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 was sent to me and thank you again so much[br]to the person who calls themself "Fake 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Gothic Girl," thank you for sending me the[br]link to this court document that I 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 previously didn't have access to. It[br]really opened my eyes to a lot of things 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and hopefully it added some context to you[br]- if you watch the first piece - to what 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Lisa was saying about what was happening[br]and what her counter suit is all about. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Let me know any and all thoughts down in[br]the comment section down below. Thank you 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so so much for watching, I hope you enjoy.[br]If you would like to hang out just a 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 little bit longer, YouTube should be[br]recommending a couple of videos over here 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to watch. I'm gonna put a previous episode[br]of "Behind the Controversy" down there. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In case you didn't see it, that's a[br]really good one. If you would like to 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 watch the top one, that one YouTube's[br]picking for you based on your viewing 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 history, which video they think that[br]you're gonna like. But if you gotta go 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 cuz you have things that you gotta do,[br]I get it. Thank you for hanging out as 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 long as you did and mad love to you and I[br]will see you in a video very very soon. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Bye!
