Glamour Dolls failed to comply with
those obligations when it engaged in a

failed online advertising campaign on
Kickstarter, using LFI, Lisa Frank's brand

without LFI's approval and then refused to
pay royalties due when LFI properly

terminated the party's contracts as a
result of Glamour Dolls' misconduct.

Wait a minute. She didn't know about the
Kickstarter? Hello my friend, I will

honestly tell you that until late last
night, I did not think that I was filming

a video about Lisa Frank and Glamour
Dolls today. I actually had a full video

planned about preservative-free cosmetics
and how freaking ridiculous and dangerous

preservative-free cosmetics are. But then
I got a very interesting comment from a

person named "Fake Goth Girl." Okay. I get
a link. The link is to a court document

that I had not previously had access to.
This document is Lisa Frank's point of

view. It is her counter suit. This is Lisa
Frank saying "Glamour Dolls is the bad

guy, not me. I didn't do anything wrong -
they're the ones that did something

wrong." So in today's video, I want to go
over Lisa's side of things - what she says

in the court documents is the reason why
she pulled out of her contract with

Glamour Dolls that left backers of the
Kickstarter out all of their money - over

$400,000 of their money, including my
money. My $75? Gone. If you have no idea

what I'm talking about, that's because
this is Part 2. I strongly strongly

suggest you please watch Part 1 of this.
It will be linked below. It will be up in

a card. It is the background for this
video - this video might not make sense

if you don't watch that one first. If you
don't feel like you have time for an hour

and a half long video, what you can do is
you can scrub through the timestamps, kind

of get the idea of what it is. You can
also play it on 1.5 speed if you want to.

And I will tell you that the average
amount of watch time on that video for a

single view is about 40 minutes. That has
literally never happened on my channel.

This is a story that I think you want to
hear and and that I think that you are

going to be engaged in if you choose to.
That being said, we are starting at Part

2. I'm assuming at this point that you
have seen that video and that you have

that background knowledge. And also
side note, I mentioned this at the end of,

the video, but there's probably about 40
comments mentioning Bailey Sarian's video

on Lisa Frank, based on the Jezebel
article that we talked about in the first

part of this. Yes, I am fully aware of
Bailey's video. I have met Bailey. I have

collaborated with Bailey. Bailey did a
fantastic job on that video. That video is

more about Lisa Frank as a person, so if
you want even more context for the story,

I highly recommend you go watch Bailey's
video as well. What we're gonna do with

this part is I'm actually gonna put Lisa
Frank's lawsuit on the side of me so if

you are fluent in Legalese, you can follow
along and see the match up of what I'm

saying. Surprisingly, a lot of is is
pretty clear cut and there isn't a ton of

lawyer language in this that was difficult
to understand. So if you would like to

read along, it is going to be next to me
over here. Here we go. So this is what

Lisa says. This is her side of things.
This is all about the deal in 2016, the

original deal that she had. Lisa says they
struck the deal in June of 2016 that would

end on December 31st of 2017 - that
matches up with Glamour Dolls' side, so

I'm assuming there's legal contracts, so
there's evidence of this. So Glamour Dolls

in that original contract, agreed to pay
Lisa Frank 15% royalty on the net sales

of the products made under the deal, with
a minimum payment of $100,000 for the

duration of the agreement, including a
$25,000 advance. Glamour Dolls promised to

do their best, to make, sell, promote, and
market the products to get as many sales

as possible, always focusing on high
quality. Now this part is very very

important because this is really the root
of why everything went wrong. They had to

get Lisa Frank's approval on literally
everything, from the design concepts to

the artwork, to the molds for production,
to the final product samples before going

into production. Lisa Frank had the right
to approve or reject the elements and

Glamour Dolls had to follow Lisa Frank's
directions on quality standards. Now

listen to this because this is part of the
reason why things were taking so long. So,

for designs, Glamour Dolls had to wait up
to 10 business days - that's about two

weeks or so - for Lisa Frank to approve
or reject anything that they submitted to

her. If Lisa didn't respond in time,
Glamour Dolls was allowed to ask after

those 10 business days, "Hey, what's going
on? I need a full description of why you

reject this or I need an approval." But
this is the kicker! Because even after

approval, and remember, this is according
to Lisa herself, Lisa could stop the

production and distribution of the
products if they didn't meet her quality

standards. That's a subjective thing -
that is not something that can be

measured. Lisa can just for any reason,
just say "This doesn't meet my quality

standards" and stop production at any
point. And it wasn't just for production

of product. It also had to do with
advertising, packaging, display methods,

press releases - anything using Lisa Frank
artwork - Glamour Dolls had to run this by

Lisa. They had to wait for those 10
business days and then if she didn't

respond in 10 business days, then they had
to poke her about it and be like "Dude,

what's going on?" They had to keep poking
her if she didn't respond after those 10

business days. So remember this original
contract that I personally believe was to

create the blush, the highlighter, and the
two brushes - that contract was ending

in December. But remember the Kickstarter
had started in February. We're now in

December. February - they promised backers
10 additional products beyond these four

that had already been funded. Lisa's
contract is about to end, so they need to

start a new contract. This is what Lisa
says was in the new contract: same 15%

royalty on the net sales of the products
plus 20% royalty on sales made directly to

retail customers. So this would be if
people bought it off of Ipsy's marketplace

or if people bought it from Hot Topic,
or at one point they were talking to

Walmart - any of those, Lisa would get a
20% royalty off of. Beyond that, in the

first contract, Lisa asked for at least
$100,000 for her fees. In the new

contract, Lisa upped that to $500,000.
That included an up front payment of

$125,000 that needed to be paid when the
contract was signed. Three more payments

would be paid throughout the year to total
that $500,000. The rules for making the

products were pretty much the same as the
first contract. All of the levels of "you

need to send it to Lisa and she needs to
approve it" and then the 10 business days

- all of that was pretty much the same.
The only thing that changed, which we'll

find out more about in just a minute, is
that they did not have to get pre-shipment

approval. So Lisa has already approved
the final draft of the product, they have

put that into production, they now have
the products - they've got thousands and

thousands and thousands of these products
- they don't have to send those products

to Lisa for approval anymore. But there
is a clause - because of course there is -

if there were any production problems, if
after all of these things were sent out

Lisa decided that there was a
production problem, there was something

she didn't like, Glamour Dolls would have
to pay damages for that. What would those

damages be? I have no idea, it's not in
here. Another thing that's very important

in Lisa's side of the story is that they
said that Lisa could end the deal

immediately if Glamour Dolls broke certain
rules, like not following the approval

process or having production issues 3
times. If Lisa decided that she was

going to terminate the agreement, Glamour
Dolls had to not only stop making

products, they also they had to stop
selling their existing products. Then they

had to turn over the rights to the
artwork. Anything that Lisa had created

for Glamour Dolls would now be owned by
Lisa. And you might be seeing where this

might be going - maybe if you watched Part
1. Because she did that. That happened.

In context, you have to remember that this
is 3 months past the date that Glamour

Dolls had promised products would be done
and shipped to backers. So they are deep

deep in it now. They are sending out that
digital Christmas card, where people can

send it to their families, saying "Hey,
you know, you might be getting some Lisa

Frank products that I bought for you at
some point. This is what's coming." That's

where we're at. A lot of the backers are
already irritated by this point. From

Lisa's side, she says in her court
documents that LFI, or Lisa Frank

Incorporated, fully performed its
obligations under the license agreements -

I do believe Glamour Dolls would argue
against that. They say specifically

Glamour Dolls repeatedly failed to meet
their responsibilities under the

agreements they had with Lisa Frank. This
is how Lisa says Glamour Dolls messed up.

And remember, she's going to have to prove
this for her counter suit. This is what

she says - she says they didn't put in
enough effort to produce, distribute,

promote, and sell the products that they
were supposed to. She says that they

didn't aim to sell as many high quality
products as they could, that they had

signed off in their contract. She says
that they use Lisa Frank artwork in ads

and packaging without getting approval
first, which was against their rules of

the contract. She says Glamour Dolls was
late in making and delivering the

products, which they were. She says that
Glamour Dolls didn't follow the agreed

upon process for getting products
inspected and approved, that they didn't

pay the royalties and the minimum amounts
that they were supposed to, and that they

used the Kickstarter to sell products
without getting the okay from Lisa Frank

Incorporated, which was of course not
allowed. Finally, they say that Glamour

Dolls promised products to backers and
then never shipped them out, which is

true. But the question is: why didn't they
ship them out? What was stopping them

from doing it? Was it a fault of Glamour
Dolls or was it a fault of Lisa? We're

still in Lisa's perspective, so let's
follow that. Lisa says that even through

all of the things that I just listed - the
things that are in Lisa's filing - she

continued to try to work with Glamour
Dolls to make things work. She says she

did this only because she felt like, if
she didn't continue with Glamour Dolls and

see this through and get the backers what
they ordered, that it would damage Lisa

Frank. It would damage her and her brand.
It wasn't about making sure that people

got what they paid for, it was about the
damage it would cause to her reputation

and her brand's reputation. She says in
her statement that, you know, that Glamour

Dolls had made all these promises and
they failed to go through on them, that

they even said that they were shipping
things to people that they never shipped

to them, which I don't know if it's
actually true. Because from what I've

seen, anybody that was supposed to get
the eyeshadow and the bronzer and the

postcard did get those things. There is
some question, at least in the comments

underneath my last video of whether people
who ordered the brush separately, whether

they actually got their brush. So maybe
that's what Lisa is talking about. Lisa

says that Glamour Dolls ignored rules
that they had to follow to get Lisa's

approval before making anything. She says
that they attempted to make or change

products without talking to her first.
And also that they didn't give her the

samples required that she needed to
review. The perspective here is that

because of those failures, people started
blaming Lisa Frank and not Glamour Dolls,

where she's saying it wasn't her fault,
it was Glamour Dolls' fault. She said that

people began to think that Lisa Frank was
scamming them, leaving negative comments

and complaints online that damaged LFI's
reputation. It was only because Glamour

Dolls broke their side of the contract
so many times that she ended the contract

formally in July of 2018, which is what
Glamour Dolls had said, that she abruptly

just ended the contract. What Glamour
Dolls had said was before she ended the

contract, she required them to pay that
final $125,000 to her and then once she

got the money, she terminated the contract
and that they didn't know she was going to

do that when she took the money.
Supposedly, LFI reminded Glamour Dolls

that they needed to do the things that
were in the contract, that if she ended

it, that they needed to do - things like
returning all the artwork and paying any

royalties owed. However, she says Glamour
Dolls didn't pay what they owed or follow

through on other responsibilities after
the termination, leading to more problems

and losses for LFI. So at the final part
of the complaint, Lisa says "This is what

I want the court to give me." She says she
wants to be paid damages, which means all

of the money that they should have
received under the agreements with Glamour

Dolls - the exact amount of how much she
should be paid would be decided at trial.

Then she wants to be paid back for all of
the costs and all of the expenses and the

lawyer's fees as allowed by law. She also
wants to receive interest on any money

awarded to them, both before and after the
court's decision at 18% per year and it

looks like, you know, this happened in
2018, it's now 2024, so that's a lot of

freakin' interest. I'm not going to do the
math in my brain right now because it's

physically and mentally impossible for me
but that's a lot of money. And finally,

she's like "And if the court wants to
give me something else, if you think

there's something else that's fair, feel
free. You can give me that too." So that

is Lisa's filing. I have lots of thoughts
my friend. Do you have thoughts? Because

if you have thoughts, put 'em in the
comment section because I'm wondering if

we have the exact same thoughts. That's
what the collective brain is all about, is

us bouncing ideas off of each other and in
a recorded video, it's a little harder. So

if you have thoughts, definitely leave
them in the comments. I'm gonna tell you

mine. Okay, so I have questions. [laughs]
I have 3 major questions. The first one is

"What was the timeline for approving the
Kickstarter?" Because eventually, Lisa was

participating in the Kickstarter, at least
it looks like she was participating in the

Kickstarter. So I am curious what Glamour
Dolls' side of this is, in that do they

say that they did the Kickstarter without
talking to Lisa? Because I noticed

something that was in their paperwork that
they filed. They label Kickstarter as a

business that they were trying to get to
work with, right? So it's listed in with

Ipsy and Hot Topic; they also list
Kickstarter. So it was seen by them - it

looks like - as just another way to sell
products and I don't know if that was in

the contract, that they had to clear what
retailers they were gonna work with with

Lisa. Where I think that Lisa may have
them on this is that they had to use Lisa

Frank artwork and they had to promote this
using Lisa Frank branded stuff for the

Kickstarter before it even started.
Remember Candy's video. I wish I could

show you the video - it is killing me that
this video is private and I can't show

you the full video. But Candy clearly
uses Lisa Frank artwork in the video to

promote this Kickstarter. If Lisa didn't
know about the Kickstarter, then she

didn't approve the artwork to be used in
Candy's video or any other promotional

things that they did for the Kickstarter.
So then Lisa would have them on that.

That's what I'm thinking most likely
happened - I mean of course it's possible

that Glamour Dolls did talk to Lisa and
tell her about the Kickstarter beforehand

and did get all of the artwork approved
and all of that, but it sounds like Lisa

is saying "No, that didn't happen." So
my next question associated with that -

it's kind of a sub question to question
number 1 - is "When did Lisa find out

about the 10 products that they promised
to the Kickstarter backers? When did she

agree to that?" Because it seems like that
first contract from 2016 was really for

those 4 products that they actually did
produce and put out there - the blush

brush, the crease brush, the bronzer, and
the eyeshadows. Single eyeshadows, not

eyeshadow palettes, the single eyeshadows.
The ones that were sold at Hot Topic. It

is very very likely that Lisa was on board
with the Kickstarter about a month after

the Kickstarter started because in March,
they show posts that are specifically from

Lisa, participating in encouraging people
to enter these contests, to perform these

tasks, to show their nail looks and things
like that. Lisa is posting there. So if

this is really Lisa posting - which it
doesn't really make any sense to me that

it wouldn't be Lisa because Glamour Dolls
wouldn't be able to, like, hide that from

Lisa - they would have to explain that
so it doesn't really make sense to me

that that wasn't actually Lisa posting.
But she was clearly participating and

on board in March. Another clue that Lisa
was involved in the Kickstarter from the

launch of the Kickstarter was that just
a few days after the launch, Glamour

Dolls posted that Lisa was going to go
into her vault and the first 1,000 backers

were going to get a very special gift
from Lisa in their box when they got their

stuff. They would get a second - what they
called a treat - if they hit 2,000 backers

and that Lisa had something really special
planned if they made it to 10,000 backers.

So I'm very curious to see if this piece
comes out in court. My second question is

"Why the hell did Glamour Dolls sign this
terrible ass contract?" This is the most

bull**** contract I think I have ever
read. It is absolutely nuts. The part that

is the most unbelievable for me is that
Glamour Dolls signed this is the whole

approval process. It is absolutely
ridiculous. Both sides agree that this was

the process. So they have an idea, right?
They start with the idea. Let's use the

Trapper Keeper palettes as an example.
So they have an idea that they want to

create a palette that looks like a Trapper
Keeper. So they get this plain white

Trapper Keeper palette made by the
factory. Glamour Dolls then takes this

white packaging, this plain plastic
packaging that's the mock-up, send it to

Lisa, wait 10 business days. If she
doesn't answer, they have to poke her and

get her to give feedback. If she does
approve of it, Glamour Dolls then takes

her ideas, whatever she wants changed, and
lets the manufacturing facility know. Then

they get another mock-up. Then they send
that to Lisa. They wait 10 days, they wait

for the feedback. All of that happens all
over again until Lisa's happy. I didn't

see anything on either said that said Lisa
had a limit to how many changes she could

make. So let's assume she's now approved
the mold. Now they have to wait for Lisa

to make the artwork. Once the artwork
comes in, again, they send it over to the

manufacturer. The manufacturer puts it on
the product. Then Glamour Dolls has to

have two samples of it that they then send
over to Lisa and wait those 10 business

days again. If she doesn't respond, then
they poke her - same process all over

again, where she can either reject it or
accept it. Do you see how this is so

freaking ridiculous? Because it's not even
over then! Even after Lisa has approved

the final designed product, when they
manufacture it - let's say they make

10,000 of them, because this did happen -
they make 10,000 of them, they have to

send 2 of the 10,000 to Lisa for final
approval before they can ship those out

to customers. And I will tell you my
friend, this actually happened -

according to Glamour Dolls - with the
vegan leather makeup bag. This is the

draft picture of the vegan leather makeup
bag that was not designed, that people

really excited about. This is the final
design that was supposedly "The One," the

makeup bag. Well it turns out, according
to Glamour Dolls, Lisa didn't like this

and after they had printed 10,000 of
these, Lisa said she didn't want it to be

vegan leather anymore; she wanted it to
be glitter plastic. And because of the

sh**** ass contract that they signed,
they couldn't sell those 10,000 bags that

they had already made because she had
approved the sample. They had to start all

over again with a glitter bag design. I
mean how f***ing ridiculous is this? The

fact that Glamour Dolls signed this
contract, did they not have a lawyer

read it? Like what happened? How did this
get through? From the very jump, this

should have just never happened and I'm
sure Glamour Dolls in hindsight is

thinking the exact same thing. And my
third question is "Why would they start a

Kickstarter in February, knowing that
Lisa's contract was ending in December?"

Because that's where they really got
screwed. This is what I'm thinking: I'm

thinking Lisa designed all of the products
and got everything going for those first

four products before the Kickstarter
even started. And that was why Glamour

Dolls wanted to do more work with her.
They were like "Yes, this was so smooth,

this was so easy. Let's keep this going a
little longer. We have until December,

it's only February. We have all this time.
We pushed out those four products pretty

quickly as far as getting through this
process, so let's do 10 more! We've got

this." Glamour Dolls said publicly that
they didn't start having problems with

Lisa slowing down the process until June
of 2017. So that was after the Kickstarter

had already started, but before the
estimated ship date that they told the

backers of September. And it makes sense
because if they started signing the

contract in June of 2016, by February,
they had made and designed 4 products.

Assuming that Lisa was done with all of
the designs and all of the things and all

of the approvals by the time that the
Kickstarter started so that's about 8

months. So they're thinking "Well yeah
this was so easy, we should be able to

push out more products by December, by
the time Lisa's contract ends." So now I

shall present to you the worst case
scenario of Lisa's a raging b****.

[laughter] That's where we're gonna go
with this. This is worst case scenario

what happened, in that Lisa knew her
contract was ending in December, she knew

that she could slow down this process in
order to get a new contract in December

and price gauge the hell out of Glamour
Dolls. She knew that they had already

promised all of these products to the
backers. She knew that they probably

given her $125,000 of the backers' money.
She knew that Glamour Dolls was already

using the backer money in order to get
these samples and ship them to her. The

$370,000 that the backers had paid,
probably a lot of it was already spent

because that's why they started wanting -
needing more money. They started selling

the products on BackerKit, they started
selling the crease brush on their website,

they really started courting Hot Topic to
try to sell products over there because

Lisa was taking all of the Kickstarter
backers' money for herself and they were

using it for the manufacturing of these
products and they knew it wasn't enough to

see this whole project through because
remember they've got 10 products they're

trying to make by December. So time
passes, Lisa drags this out, drags this

out, and then drops the bomb on Glamour
Dolls: "If you want this to continue,

after all this money that you spent,
you're gonna have to pay me $500,000, not

$100,000 anymore. It's $500,000 and you
know when you sell to Hot Topic? You're

not gonna give me 15%, you're gonna give
me 20%." But at that point, they were so

far deep in it that they couldn't get out
of it. They absolutely couldn't get out

of it. Another place that they probably
spent the backers' money was on Wengie

because remember the call that Peter did
with the backers? He mentions very

briefly paying for a video. I'll play that
for you.

(Peter): We actually didn't make a profit
off of this Kickstarter campaign. I know

that's, um, it's a hard thing for people
to, um, to kind of believe with the size

of it. But, um, we have to manufacture all
those goods, uh, we have licensing fees

to pay to Lisa, um, we had to pay for, you
know, uh, for production of the video and

for all these different things.

(Jen) I don't know this for a fact but
I think he took the money from the backers

and paid Wengie to make that video.
Who knows how much he paid her because

influencer rates back then, you know, it
was brand new, you know, influencers

getting paid for sponsored videos and
things like that. I have no idea how much

they paid Wengie but I would imagine that
was part of where the money was going and

why they needed to raise more money.
Because now in December, they not only

have to get all of these 10 products
manufactured but they also have to pay

Lisa this $500,000. Lisa officially had
Glamour Dolls by the unicorn balls. I mean

like, she was-she had them. They had no
choice, in my opinion, if this is the way

it played out, other than to sign that
contract and just hope for the best. If

all of this is true - let's say they say
"Screw you Lisa, we're not paying you

$500,000, we're cutting off the contract
now." How do they pay back the backers?

They can't. They don't have the money
anymore. It's gone. They don't have the

money to pay back the backers so they are
absolutely screwed. Some other things

that I found in the Glamour Dolls part of
the lawsuit that I didn't see when I made

the last video that I want to let you know
because now, I imagine at some point,

there'll be a part 3 [laughter] of this
video is that they were saying more

things about how Lisa interfered with the
production of the product. So in the court

filing, it says "Lisa Frank frequently and
unreasonably rejected already manufactured

samples without being specific as to the
reason for disapproval." In their filing,

they said that there was a problem with
the Ipsy products. They said "in one

instance, due to Lisa Frank's failure to
timely provide artwork for the Ipsy sales

order, Glamour Dolls missed the artwork
deadline and was forced to pay a fine in

the amount of $50,500." The filing
continued on and said that Glamour Dolls

was shipping her out samples and then
she'd be like - 10 business days later -

"Oh I lost them, can you send more of
them?" It's like, "wait what? What?" And

in this case, they may not have more
samples because they requested a certain

number of samples from the lab and then
they mail the samples to Lisa Frank and

then Lisa loses them so then they have to
ask the lab for more samples and they have

to pay for that and then get those
samples and then send those - wait for

those to come in - then send those to Lisa
and then they have to wait for Lisa to

approve those. Do you see how it's just
dragging everything out? And you remember

how I said as part of the contract - this
was so, so if this is how it happened -

that part of the contract was that Lisa
would get her artwork back and that's

what she did. She used that artwork on the
Morphe products. The artwork she made for

Glamour Dolls. You can see it on the
Trapper Keeper-style palette that Morphe

had made. But to be true to the title of
this video, Lisa says that "Glamour Dolls

failed to comply with the inspection and
approval process. Lisa's gonna have to

prove this in court. She's gonna have to
show them the evidence that Glamour Dolls

didn't go through the proper approval
process because even if it's unfair -

this is the thing about the law - even if
it's unfair, even if it's unreasonable, if

Glamour Dolls signed that contract and
said that they were gonna follow a certain

process, they had to follow that process,
even if it's bull****. And if Lisa can

prove that they did things that were
against the process, then she had a right

to terminate the contract and get her
artwork and then sell it to Morphe. It's

just so fu***d up! [laughter] It's just
so messed up! But we definitely need to

end this video the same way we ended the
last one in that the most current ruling

by the judge for the 9 claims that Glamour
Dolls has against Lisa Frank - the judge

only dismissed part of claim 1. That was
the breach of contract; they partially

dismissed that but the judge says that
Glamour Dolls can go forward on part of

the breach of contract and everything
else - including unjust enrichment, fraud,

defamation, and all of those things -
that they're moving forward with those

claims, which means that the judge thinks
that Glamour Dolls has enough evidence to

support that these things happened. Not
that Lisa isn't going to counter with

something else but Glamour Dolls does
have a case to present. And also like I

mentioned in the last video, the last
court filing for this was January 24th,

2024, so this is going to be ongoing, so I
imagine at some point, there will be a

part 3. I don't imagine it will be soon
but I said that last time, so [laughter]

who knows? At this point my friend, it is
your turn in the collective brain of

makeup awesomeness. I would love to know
your thoughts on this new information that

was sent to me and thank you again so much
to the person who calls themself "Fake

Gothic Girl," thank you for sending me the
link to this court document that I

previously didn't have access to. It
really opened my eyes to a lot of things

and hopefully it added some context to you
- if you watch the first piece - to what

Lisa was saying about what was happening
and what her counter suit is all about.

Let me know any and all thoughts down in
the comment section down below. Thank you

so so much for watching, I hope you enjoy.
If you would like to hang out just a

little bit longer, YouTube should be
recommending a couple of videos over here

to watch. I'm gonna put a previous episode
of "Behind the Controversy" down there.

In case you didn't see it, that's a
really good one. If you would like to

watch the top one, that one YouTube's
picking for you based on your viewing

history, which video they think that
you're gonna like. But if you gotta go

cuz you have things that you gotta do,
I get it. Thank you for hanging out as

long as you did and mad love to you and I
will see you in a video very very soon.

Bye!
