Jeffree Star (born Jeffrey Lynn Steininger), is an American model, fashion designer, make-up artist, DJ, and singer-songwriter residing in the Los Angeles area.^[4][5] He is an Internet celebrity known for his popularity on MySpace (alongside Tila Tequila) as well as his fashion line and from his transgressive, gender-bending appearance and persona while calling himself «Queen of the Internet» and «Queen of the Beautifuls».^{[3][6][7][8][9]} Star has leveraged his fame as an androgynous model and aesthetic talents to launch his own clothing line and forays into acting and DJing.

Biography[]

1986–2005: Childhood and youth[]

Jeffree Star was born in Orange County, California. His father died before he was old enough to remember; subsequently, he was raised solely by his working mother, a model who frequently went on assignments. As a child, Star regularly began experimenting with his mother’s makeup, leading to an obsessive compulsive interest,^[10] and convinced her to let him wear make-up to school when he was in junior high.^[7] He identifies with being gay, and later explained he had felt this way from his earliest years.^[7]

At the age of fifteen, Star became a make-up artist. During this time, he called himself a «underage gender-bending club kid» and wore makeup, dyed his hair with day-glo colors and began cross dressing which in turn led to receiving large amounts of attention and popularity from both fellow students and strangers.^{[3][7][7][10]} Two years later, after his graduation from high school, Star moved to Los Angeles and began supporting himself with various make-up, modeling, and music jobs.^[11][12]

He later recalled spending his time on weekends «using a fake ID to attend Hollywood clubs dressed in mini dresses and nine inch high heels where celebrities would contract [Star] for make-up work at their homes», or «hiring [Star] as a model.»^[10] Star reports that his weekend socializing at clubs and the make-up advice he offered eventually led to his modeling career.^[10]

2006–2007: Internet popularity and Plastic Surgery Slumber Party[]

Jeffree Star used popular social networking website MySpace to further both his music as well as fashion design career. Star also used MySpace for blogging about his life while making social commentary on «self-image and confidence»,^[4] fame, beauty and life. Star had built up a fan base on several websites but convinced many to join him on MySpace, giving his MySpace profile a large number of «friends» from the beginning.^[7] His MySpace friend base has since grown to over 1,082,157 as of September 2010^[10] with each new photo shoot getting over 50,000 comments when posted,^[7] and by November 2006, he was recognized as MySpace’s most connected profile personality.^[13]

Star also gained fame as one of the most popular unsigned artists with the daily rankings placing him in the top tier^[6] on MySpace.

On March 28, 2007 at Project Runway’s Jeffrey Sebelia fashion show Star was a front row «celebutante» where he revealed details of Buzznet.com’s “Queen Needs a Princess Contest” which had «a day of femme-licious fun with Star» as the grand prize.^[14] The social-networking, music-news site specializes in new-media (integrated photoblog and videoblog capabilities) which Star has capitalized on to dovetail his modeling and music interests.^[14] Stars’ social trendsetting participation at Buzznet and his success at growing online fan-base was noted in Buzznet’s six million financing in May 2007.^[15] Star regularly uploads video-blog segments including music reviews, event reports as well as posting news about his upcoming music release.

Star’s music career as an electronica and hip-hop vocalist began when he befriended Peaches’ drummer who encouraged him to make music.^[7] Star was then asked by Deuce of Hollywood Undead to rap on their song «Turn off the Lights» for their debut album.^[16] However, the track did not make it onto the disc. Deuce was recently evicted from Hollywood Undead and has produced a mixtape («Break Them Wallz») with Jeffree and another song titled «Freaky Now» (alongside friend «Truth»), in which Jeffree raps extremely explicit
lyrics.

His first two solo tracks «We Want Cunt», named in tribute to his former screen name Cunt: Queen of the Beautifuls, and «Straight Boys» were co-written with Hole and one time Mötley Crüe drummer, Samantha Maloney and singer Jessicka from Scarling..^[9] Star asked MySpace co-founder Tom to convert his MySpace profile into a music page so he could showcase his music.^[7]

On November 1, 2006 Star performed on the same bill as Los Angeles’ Dirty Sanchez at the LA bar Key Club’s post-Halloween show.^[17] Star has toured with electro musician Peaches,^[3][18] as well as Cyndi Lauper,^[7] Metro Station,^[19] Breathe Carolina,^[20] Dr. Manhattan, Schoolyard Heroes,^[21] and Ultraviolet Sound.

On the 13 March 2007, Star released his debut extended play Plastic Surgery Slumber Party which was produced by Ultraviolet Sound.^[22] The record topped at number one on the iTunes’s dance charts and «has consistently topped the iTunes dance charts at #1, hovering high above household names such as Justin Timberlake and Cascada.»^[4][7] Separately, Star’s MySpace page has 25 million listens to Plastic Surgery Slumber Party as of July 2007.^[23]

During the summer of 2007, Star was advertised as a part of the True Colors Tour 2007,^[24] which traveled through 15 cities in the United States and Canada.^[25] The tour, sponsored by the LGBT Logo channel, began on June 8, 2007 to coincide with Pride month.^[26] Profits from the tour benefited the Human Rights Campaign as well as PFLAG and The Matthew Shepard Foundation. Though he was advertised as a special guest to perform on several West Coast dates, Star did not appear.

Star’s song «Plastic Surgery Slumber Party» appeared on the August 2007 Tommy Boy release of Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors tour compilation.

Jeffree Star (born Jeffrey Lynn Steininger), is an American model, fashion designer, make-up artist, DJ, and singer-songwriter residing in the Los Angeles area.^[4][5] He is an Internet celebrity known for his popularity on MySpace (alongside Tila Tequila) as well as his fashion line and from his transgressive, gender-bending appearance and persona while calling himself «Queen of the Internet» and «Queen of the Beautifuls».^{[3][6][7][8][9]} Star has leveraged his fame as an androgynous model and aesthetic talents to launch his own clothing line and forays into acting and DJing.

Biography[]

1986–2005: Childhood and youth[]

Jeffree Star was born in Orange County, California. His father died before he was old enough to remember; subsequently, he was raised solely by his working mother, a model who frequently went on assignments. As a child, Star regularly began experimenting with his mother’s makeup, leading to an obsessive compulsive interest,^[10] and convinced her to let him wear make-up to school when he was in junior high.^[7] He identifies with being gay, and later explained he had felt this way from his earliest years.^[7]

At the age of fifteen, Star became a make-up artist. During this time, he called himself a «underage gender-bending club kid» and wore makeup, dyed his hair with day-glo colors and began cross dressing which in turn led to receiving large amounts of attention and popularity from both fellow students and strangers.^{[3][7][7][10]} Two years later, after his graduation from high school, Star moved to Los Angeles and began supporting himself with various make-up, modeling, and music jobs.^[11][12]

He later recalled spending his time on weekends «using a fake ID to attend Hollywood clubs dressed in mini dresses and nine inch high heels where celebrities would contract [Star] for make-up work at their homes», or «hiring [Star] as a model.»^[10] Star reports that his weekend socializing at clubs and the make-up advice he offered eventually led to his modeling career.^[10]

2006–2007: Internet popularity and Plastic Surgery Slumber Party[]

Jeffree Star used popular social networking website MySpace to further both his music as well as fashion design career. Star also used MySpace for blogging about his life while making social commentary on «self-image and confidence»,^[4] fame, beauty and life. Star had built up a fan base on several websites but convinced many to join him on MySpace, giving his MySpace profile a large number of «friends» from the beginning.^[7] His MySpace friend base has since grown to over 1,082,157 as of September 2010^[10] with each new photo shoot getting over 50,000 comments when posted,^[7] and by November 2006, he was recognized as MySpace’s most connected profile personality.^[13]

Star also gained fame as one of the most popular unsigned artists with the daily rankings placing him in the top tier^[6] on MySpace.

On March 28, 2007 at Project Runway’s Jeffrey Sebelia fashion show Star was a front row «celebutante» where he revealed details of Buzznet.com’s “Queen Needs a Princess Contest” which had «a day of femme-licious fun with Star» as the grand prize.^[14] The social-networking, music-news site specializes in new-media (integrated photoblog and videoblog capabilities) which Star has capitalized on to dovetail his modeling and music interests.^[14] Stars’ social trendsetting participation at Buzznet and his success at growing online fan-base was noted in Buzznet’s six million financing in May 2007.^[15] Star regularly uploads video-blog segments including music reviews, event reports as well as posting news about his upcoming music release.

Star’s music career as an electronica and hip-hop vocalist began when he befriended Peaches’ drummer who encouraged him to make music.^[7] Star was then asked by Deuce of Hollywood Undead to rap on their song «Turn off the Lights» for their debut album.^[16] However, the track did not make it onto the disc. Deuce was recently evicted from Hollywood Undead and has produced a mixtape («Break Them Wallz») with Jeffree and another song titled «Freaky Now» (alongside friend «Truth»), in which Jeffree raps extremely explicit
lyrics.

His first two solo tracks «We Want Cunt», named in tribute to his former screen name Cunt: Queen of the Beautifuls, and «Straight Boys» were co-written with Hole and one time Mötley Crüe drummer, Samantha Maloney and singer Jessicka from Scarling..^[9] Star asked MySpace co-founder Tom to convert his MySpace profile into a music page so he could showcase his music.^[7]

On November 1, 2006 Star performed on the same bill as Los Angeles’ Dirty Sanchez at the LA bar Key Club’s post-Halloween show.^[17] Star has toured with electro musician Peaches,^[3][18] as well as Cyndi Lauper,^[7] Metro Station,^[19] Breathe Carolina,^[20] Dr. Manhattan, Schoolyard Heroes,^[21] and Ultraviolet Sound.

On the 13 March 2007, Star released his debut extended play Plastic Surgery Slumber Party which was produced by Ultraviolet Sound.^[22] The record topped at number one on the iTunes’s dance charts and «has consistently topped the iTunes dance charts at #1, hovering high above household names such as Justin Timberlake and Cascada.»^[4][7] Separately, Star’s MySpace page has 25 million listens to Plastic Surgery Slumber Party as of July 2007.^[23]

During the summer of 2007, Star was advertised as a part of the True Colors Tour 2007,^[24] which traveled through 15 cities in the United States and Canada.^[25] The tour, sponsored by the LGBT Logo channel, began on June 8, 2007 to coincide with Pride month.^[26] Profits from the tour benefited the Human Rights Campaign as well as PFLAG and The Matthew Shepard Foundation. Though he was advertised as a special guest to perform on several West Coast dates, Star did not appear.

Star’s song «Plastic Surgery Slumber Party» appeared on the August 2007 Tommy Boy release of Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors tour compilation. Featuring ten tracks from ten of the artists, the compilation benefits the Human Rights Campaign, an organization that fights for civil rights for LGBT people.^[26]

Джефри Стар (англ. Jeffree Star, урождённый Джефри Линн Стейнинджер (Jeffrey Lynn Steininger) — американский певец, модель, стилист, диджей и визажист, проживающий в одном из пригородов Лос-Анджелеса. Начало его музыкальной карьеры было связано с уже имевшейся популярностью в социальной сети MySpace. Он также известен благодаря своей эпатажной и андрогинной внешности. Джефри представляет себя как «Queen of the Internet» (Королева Интернета).

Детство

Джефри родился в Калифорнии, США. «Я обнаружил, что являюсь геем, ещё в раннем детстве» — вспоминает Джефри. Его отец умер, когда он был ребёнком, поэтому ему часто приходилось оставаться одному, пока его мать, работавшая моделью, уезжала на съёмки. Он начал экспериментировать с косметикой своей матери в очень раннем возрасте. Это привело к одержимости и навязчивому интересу, который Джефри стал испытывать к косметике и макияжу. Стар убедил свою мать разрешить ему краситься, когда он был в средней школе^[1].

Клубная сцена

Стар начал карьеру визажиста в 15 лет. Сначала он работал в клубах и относился к категории мальчиков, называемых «Club Kids». Он пользовался косметикой, красил волосы флуоресцентными красками и носил женскую одежду. Разумеется, Джефри был в центре внимания как в школе, так и вне её. Популярность пришла к Джефри в старшей школе, которую он стал посещать в женской одежде и аксессуарах. Стар вспоминает, что интерес, испытываемый им в детстве, подтолкнул его к использованию косметики и ношению вещей, которые он брал у матери.

По выходным Джефри использовал поддельные документы для того, чтобы иметь возможность посещать Голливудские клубы. При этом он надевал мини-платья и туфли на девятидюймовых каблуках, надеясь, что кто-либо из знаменитостей оценит его внешний вид и попросит сделать макияж или наймет в качестве модели. Стар говорит, что посещение вечеринок по выходным и советы по макияжу, которые он давал, стали основой его карьеры.

Визажист, работа моделью, популярность в интернете

Джефри работал со многими знаменитостями, такими как Келли Осборн, Николь Ричи, Пэрис Хилтон, Дэйви Хэвок (солист группы AFI). Стар приобрел первых фанатов, когда начал публиковать собственные провокационные фотографии на Интернет-форумах, а позже на MySpace. В подарок от сайта он получил много призов, в том числе и дорогостоящие фото-камеры, с помощью которых он мог делать всё больше фотографий.

1 августа 2006 года вышел журнал «Frontiers», на обложке которого был Джефри Стар. Также в 2006 году Джефри стал участником многочисленных модных показов. Стар снялся в нескольких музыкальных видеоклипах. Среди них клип Good Charlotte на песню «The River», «Push» группы Godhead и «One Love» от Aiden.

Известность на MySpace

Джефри Стар использовал популярный социальный сетевой веб-сайт MySpace. Он также публиковал на MySpace записи о своей жизни и оставлял различные комментарии, в которых писал о собственной красоте и известности. Используя никнейм «Cunt», привлекающий всеобщее внимание, Джефри Стар приобрел большое количество фанатов на нескольких сайтах и убедил многих людей присоединиться к нему на MySpace. К октябрю 2007 года в его профайле числилось более 632000 «друзей», а каждая новая фотография набирала около 50000 комментариев. В ноябре 2006 он был признан самой популярной личностью MySpace’a.

Видео блог на Buzznet.com

Помимо MySpace’а Джефри Стар зарегистрирован на сайте Buzznet.com, который совмещает в себе возможности фотоблога и видеоблога. Джефри часто проводит там различные конкурсы. Также он постоянно обновляет раздел с видеозаписями, в числе которых присутствуют обзоры музыкальных новинок, публикует новости о релизах собственных песен, а также описывает интересные события из жизни.

Музыкальная карьера

Музыкальная карьера Джефри в жанрах электроника и хип-хоп началась, когда он подружился с барабанщицей Peaches, которая и вдохновила его на создание музыки. Первые два трека «Straight Boys» и «We Want Cunt» были написаны совместно с группой «Hole», барабанщиком группы Mötley Crüe и певицей Джессикой из Scarling.

Plastic Surgery Slumber Party 2006—2007

13 марта 2007 года Джефри Стар выпустил свой первый альбом под названием «Plastic Surgery Slumber Party». Незамедлительно, 20 марта 2007 года этот диск появился в хит-параде танцевальной музыки iTunes, стартовав с первого места. Альбом «Plastic Surgery Slumber Party» на MySpace был прослушан 25 миллионов раз.

Две песни, записанные Джефри, не были изданы на «Plastic Surgery Slumber Party». Они называются «Louis Vuitton» и «Don’t Cha (Sex Change Remix)». В 2005 году Стар также записал песню «Turn Off the Lights» совместно с группой Hollywood Undead.

Ранние годы

Звезда родилась в округе Лос-Анджелес, Калифорния и вырос в округе Ориндж, Калифорния. Его отец, Джеффри Линн Штайнингер-старший, совершил самоубийство, когда Стар было шесть лет, и впоследствии его воспитывала исключительно его мать, Марра Шубьянн Линдстром Штайнингер. В детстве Стар утверждает, что он начал регулярно экспериментировать с макияжем своей матери и убедил ее разрешить ему носить его в школе, когда он был в средней школе. Он переехал в Лос-Анджелес после окончания средней школы, поддерживая себя различными гримерами, модельным бизнесом и музыкой. Позже он вспоминал, как проводил время по выходным, используя поддельный ID, чтобы посещать Голливуд клубы, где знаменитости нанимали его для макияжа дома.

Музыкальная карьера Стар как вокалист electronica и pop начал свою деятельность, когда подружился с барабанщиком Peaches Самантой Мэлони, которая поощряла его заниматься музыкой. Летом 2007 года Star рекламировалась как часть True Colours Tour 2007, который прошел через 15 городов США и Канады. Тур, спонсируемый каналом LGBT Logo, начался 8 июня 2007 года и совпал с месяцем Pride.

Star выпустил свой первый и единственный студийный альбом Beauty Killer в 2009 году, который занял 7 строчку в американском чарте Billboard Top Electronic Albums. В альбом вошли такие песни, как «Lollipop Luxury » с участием Ники Минаж. Он предпринял несколько мировых турне для продвижения своей музыки. В 2010 году он подписал контракт с Konvict Muzik, основатель которой Акон описал Star как «следующую Леди Гагу » — с планами выпустить второй альбом. Однако он так и не был выпущен, и Стар внезапно покинула музыкальную индустрию в 2013 году при невыясненных обстоятельствах. Позже он описал подписание контракта с лейблом Akon как «самую большую ошибку, которую я когда-либо делал».

Он появился во второй версии видеоклипа Кеши на ее сингл «Take It Off «в 2010 году. Звезда работала с несколькими другими музыкальными исполнителями, включая Blood on the Dance Floor, Deuce, Millionaires и Ларри Ти.

Джеффри Стар Косметикс

В 2014 году Стар основал свой Интернет-магазин косметический бренд Jeffree Star Cosmetics. В пятисерийном документальном сериале Шейна Доусона Стар заявил, что окончание его музыкальной карьеры обанкротило его, и что он использовал оставшиеся сбережения, чтобы открыть свой косметический бренд. Стар начал продвигать бренд с помощью видеороликов, опубликованных на YouTube, что привело к успеху его канала на YouTube с 17,4 млн подписчиков и более 23 млрд просмотров по состоянию на август 2020 года. Журнал Bustle описал Star как «музыкант и некогда знаменитость MySpace, который заново открыл себя в сфере обучения макияжу на YouTube». Его первым выпуском косметики стала коллекция жидких велюровых помад, за которыми последовали палитры хайлайтеров, скрабы для губ, палетки теней для век, одежда и аксессуары, такие как зеркала и косметички. Первым местом на Восточном побережье, где была представлена ​​линия косметики, был магазин Morphe Cosmetics в Westfield Garden State Plaza в Парамусе, Нью-Джерси 11 августа 2018 года. С тех пор Star запустила несколько новых коллекции, такие как палитра теней «Blue Blood».

Личная жизнь

Натан Швандт был парнем Джеффри из ок. 2015 г. — январь 2020 г. Стар утверждает, что не употребляет алкоголь (несмотря на то, что ранее неоднократно писал в Твиттере о водке ), курит сигареты или принимает тяжелые наркотики, хотя он курит каннабис (что законно в Калифорнии ).

Controversies

Ссоры Джеффри Стар с другими представителями СМИ хорошо задокументированы. В их число входили разговоры с татуировщиком Кэт Вон D, который обвинил Стар в «употреблении наркотиков, расизме и запугивании»; Тати Уэстбрук, которая обвинила Стар и Шейн Доусон в принуждении ее загрузить видео нападение на красавицу-ютьюбера Джеймса Чарльза ; Кайли Дженнер, чьи продукты критиковала Star; Ким Кардашьян ; и Джеррод Бландино, соучредитель Too Faced Cosmetics.

Стар был обвинен в расизме из-за уничижительных замечаний в адрес меньшинств. Позже он извинился за замечания. На MySpace была размещена сатирическая пародия между Стар и трансвеститом, в котором Ста Р заявляет, что хочет облить чернокожую женщину аккумуляторной кислотой, чтобы осветлить ее кожу, чтобы она соответствовала ее тональности. Звезда неоднократно использовала расовые оскорбления.

В 2010 году Стар позвонила Blood on the Dance Floor участнику Дэви Вэнити, который был арестован в 2009 году по обвинению в сексуальном насилии, «ублюдок», написал в Твиттере, что он «видел… Дави приводил несовершеннолетних девочек в свой номер в отеле. 100% НЕЗАКОННО». Более поздние твиты показывают, что Стар призывает людей «преодолеть негатив» в отношении Vanity и продвигает альбом Blood on the Dance Floor. Его обвинили в связях с Vanity, несмотря на то, что он знал об обвинениях в сексуальном насилии, чтобы извлечь выгоду из продолжающегося успеха Vanity. После сообщения HuffPost с подробным описанием сексуального насилия — до и после 2010 года — против 21 человека (многие из которых были несовершеннолетними), Крис Хансен из Поймать хищника начал освещая историю. В разговоре с Хансеном на YouTube Стар сказал, что не знал о каких-либо неуместных действиях между Вэнити и несовершеннолетними девушками, пока они работали вместе, и что его твиты были основаны только на слухах.

В июне 2020 года Стар извинилась за изображения и снова всплыл архив его бывшего веб-сайта Lipstick Nazi. На веб-сайте были размещены свастики рядом с фотографиями, на которых Стар была вовлечена в членовредительство.

В отчете Insider за октябрь 2020 года Стар была обвинена в нескольких случаях сексуального насилия, нападения и уплаты 10 000 долларов в деньги замалчивать обвинителям. Поверенный Star опроверг все обвинения.
