LOL....eyep racist,black and too expensive....$129....with big red lips across the toes. So all you fans that wasted your money, can’t wear them.
Ask Katy for your money back.
Maybe it is really just a mirror.

This is what they're talking about.
Never mind the colors, wouldn’t women be embarrassed to wear those things?
From my limited contact with the subject, I don't think Katie Perry fans embarrass easily.
Katy Perry is such a raciss!
The libs are going to slit their own throats.
The left eating their own. LOL.
+1
There are vagrants on Skid Row that have better fashion sense.
LMAO.
So the “whiteface” isn’t offensive, right?
I would. They’re stupid. But so much of fashion has been stupid for a good solid 25 years straight.
