Kerli frequently wears three dots called "moon marks" that represent integrity, love, and unity, three things that are also followed Moon Children, which is an elaborated fan community/street team established by Kerli in 2006 for people "feel too much and find it hard to exist in this world, so that they wouldn't think they're crazy." It originally began as a "gathering for indigo kids" but developed into a movement of "integrity, Love and Unity" which is "trying to be the best you can be, taking responsibility for your living with your eyes open. Trying to make the most of your experience and striving for perfection while understanding it's okay not to be perfect. " She says she wishes the world would already be in a place where everyone is equally able to marry, adopt and live their life without having to explain themselves.
In 2011, she was listed as one of the 100 Most Influential Estonian Women.
She has said that she has bipolar disorder and attempted suicide when she was 17 as a result of a troubled upbringing. She now states that her upbringing has made her stronger and now she can be there for other kids who are like her and she's happy to be alive. She describes life as a beautiful and rare gift. During a live video chat with fans on October 7, 2011, she recalled when she was 17 and would ask her local doctor to sedate her with medication because it hurt her so much to be awake due to her depression. She also recalled when she was home alone when she was 17 where she covered the windows with dark towels to block out the sunlight and began cutting herself and slitting her arms with rusty scissors stating that "she wanted to die" and "couldn't feel any physical pain at all because she was just hurting so much inside"
I discovered Kerli about a week ago, and i'm already so in love with her, her music and style, Her style is exactly what my style is. I really look up to her . She inspires me to love myself, and be creative. Kerli makes almost all of her own clothes and shoes, she even has some videos on You Tube showing you how she creates some of her things. Which, as I said before, inspires me to be creative and make my own clothing, even though i don't believe i'm talented enough to. But who knows, maybe i'll surprise myself!! I really hope that whoever's reading this realizes that they are not alone even when they think they are. Now for some music to listen to!!!
The video underneath the video to the left is a song from her Utopia album called Zero gravity. If you watch the video, you'll notice the amazing rainbow hair and platform boots that i'm in love with. She made everything she wore in this video. The video up above is another song from the same album called Army Of Love. She also created most of the looks in that video herself. Finally, the video to the left is an interview where she explains further about the bubble goth style. Notice, she is wearing the three dots on her forhead representing integrity, Love and Unity.
