This is a story of deception, greed, lies, manipulation, and .... unicorns. Today on Behind the Controversy, we dig DEEP into what it was like the be a Kickstarter Backer for the Lisa Frank x Glamour Dolls makeup collaboration. I answer questions like WHY did backers stay loyal for so long and WHAT HAPPENED to their $370,000?? BTW, it was actually $476,000. Oh and how was MORPHE involved in all of this? Because of course they were. My friends, it was so much worse than we ever knew....
