Vampyre Cosmetics drops rock legend Alice Cooper. I have a feeling they may regret this later. Or maybe not. Who knows. I had never heard of them before this breaking news. I won’t buy any of their “cosmetics,” which looks like just a Halloween costume makeup line.
Alice Cooper signed a deal with the cosmetic company only to be dropped one day after he made statements against transgendering kids.

What is the deal with companies wanting to cancel people with differing personal beliefs? What a bunch of hypocrites. I do not understand why this has become a thing—this cancel culture. Yes, I know it’s been around for a while now. But why? How do we allow this to continue?
We have divided ourselves into so many polarizing groups that we can’t even associate with one another. 2023 is certainly different from 1983. We’ve gone too far sideways. I’m afraid we won’t ever be able to return to the days of disagreement, but we could still hang out with each other. Or the days when we protected children!
The 75-year-old rock legend, whose hits include “School’s Out” and “Welcome to My Nightmare,” had signed the brand partnership deal less than two weeks ago with Vampyre Cosmetics — which markets spooky and gothic-themed makeup, lipsticks, palettes and lashes.
However, Cooper was canceled by the company after he expressed opposition to “gender affirming care” for minors — which entails irreversible surgeries and hormonal treatments to facilitate the transition to the opposite sex — in an interview with the site Stereogum. – New York Post
But quite frankly, I am glad Alice Cooper will no longer be “repping” the Halloween cosmetic line. It makes me wonder if he wanted out of the deal anyway because it was only ONE DAY after he signed the contract that he came out and talked about how WRONG it is to lead children into the transgender craze.
Thank goodness he did come out and talk about how wrong it is to pretend that it’s okay to tell these kids they can change their gender all willy-nilly like it’s an accessory or something. It is gross.
It is a fad or a craze, and that is terrifying. I wish more celebrities would be brave enough to discuss this topic.
The musician, whose real name is Vincent Damon Furnier, said he did not agree with transgender care for children.
‘I find it wrong when you’ve got a 6-year-old kid who has no idea,’ he added.
‘He just wants to play, and you’re confusing him telling him, ‘Yeah, you’re a boy, but you could be a girl if you want to be’.

And wait a damned minute. Alice Cooper is 75-years old?! I mean, good on him for landing a “cosmetic” deal, even if it is with a Halloween line, and they canceled him a day later.
But holy-aging-rocker Batman, he released a new album just yesterday! WTF?
He is 75 years old!
On August 25th, 2023, Alice Cooper released his twenty-second solo and overall twenty-ninth studio album through Earmusic. The album is titled Road.
WOW! I’ll buy this. Good for him. Who needs a stupid Halloween cosmetic line deal anyway? You’re way better than that, Alice.
