If you’ve ever used the phrase “eyebrows on fleek,” first of all you’re embarrassing but second, you have Peaches Monroee to thank. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, it all started in June of 2014 with a humble Vine video.
For some bizarre reason, she started a movement. You know you’ve gone viral when some intern over at IHOP hijacks it for a marketing campaign.
Now, as anyone who has ever been Internet famous can tell you, unless you can parlay that into an ad-filled YouTube channel, a book deal, and/or a reality show, you’re probably not making a dime. Memes aren’t like songs, you don’t get residuals for being one. Unless you’re Success Kid’s dad, in which case you can crowdfund a kidney.
Well Kayla Lewis isn’t having any of that. She just put up a GoFundMe campaign to start her own cosmetics line.
