Hellstar Studios Kiss Me I'm a Hellstar Graphic Tee - Charcoal & Gray

“Kiss Me I’m Irish” Is a Request That Comes With a Reason. The Reason Is Heritage — a Lineage, a Culture, a History That the Person Wearing the Button Has Been Born Into and Is Celebrating. “Kiss Me I’m a Hellstar” Is a Request That Comes With a Different Kind of Reason. The Reason Is Not Heritage but Survival — Not What You Were Born Into but What You Have Been Through and What You Have Become on the Other Side of It. Hellstar Studios Named a Shirt After This Request. — Hellstar Studios Kiss Me I’m a Hellstar Tee in Charcoal and Light Gray.

The Hellstar Studios Kiss Me I’m a Hellstar Tee is the garment that most directly engages with the specific tension between vulnerability and power that defines the Hellstar identity — the tension that is present in the phrase itself, which is simultaneously a request (kiss me) and a declaration (I’m a Hellstar), simultaneously an act of opening (asking for something from another person) and an act of assertion (announcing what you are), simultaneously the most human possible gesture (the desire to be kissed, to be touched, to be wanted) and the most Hellstar possible statement (I have been through hell and I am still here and I am still asking). The phrase “Kiss Me I’m Irish” works because it offers a reason for the kiss that is external to the person asking — the reason is the heritage, the culture, the occasion, the tradition, and the person asking is simply the vehicle for all of that. The phrase “Kiss Me I’m a Hellstar” works differently: the reason for the kiss is internal to the person asking, is the person themselves, is what the person has been through and what they have become, is the specific quality of someone who has traveled from Hell to Star and is still moving and is still here and is still, despite everything, asking. The Hellstar who asks to be kissed is not asking from weakness — they are asking from the specific kind of strength that comes from having survived enough to know that asking for what you want is not weakness but the most direct expression of the power that the survival has produced. Charcoal is the Hell in Hellstar — the dark, the weight, the fire-burned gray of the place the Hellstar has come from, the color that carries the evidence of what has been survived. Light Gray is the Star in Hellstar — the light at the edge of the dark, the brightness that the Hellstar carries out of the hell and into the world, the color of the aura of someone who has been through the fire and is still luminous. Together they are the full Hellstar identity: the hell and the star, the dark and the light, the weight and the luminosity, the survival and the asking.
