they were in the process of divorcing when he od’d. rather than add additional stress, and because they seem to have no actual hatred toward each other, she stayed with him at least a a support system/next of kin.

um now that gawker is dead can we please see more jez articles about the effects of government oversight on a shrinking domestic labor force? the corrupt dismantling of third world export restrictions and its consequences for an impoverished populace? how the contemporary working class struggles with an increasingly…

So sidebar convo: a friend was asking me yesterday what shade of blush is best when you are wearing a strong red lipstick. I said to always stick with a peachy-pink blush (like Nars Orgasm) on fairish skin because it adds some glow and flush in a pretty way, but now I’m curious what others wear.

Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Always Red! It’s a beautiful, blue-toned red, costs $14, and has great staying power- doesn’t feather even without liner, in my experience. Very similar in color and finish to Lime Crime’s Red Velvet (I currently have both and will continue re-buying this one since it’s cheaper.) http://www.s…

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella. Stays on forever and feels great.

Sephora brand creme lipstick in Always Red. It stays on (dry so it needs a coat of chapstick over it) through almost anything except a full meal. Classic blue based red that would look good on most.

Yeah Ruby Woo is great but I’m going to go with my budget option which is only 7 dollars and still slays. NYX Liquid Suede in Cherry Skies it gets extra points for me because it works with darker skin tones really well

Anyone who brought coffee (or any drink) into my lab would be sent back to a remedial chem lab safety class. Keep that shit in your office.

All hail Ruby Woo by MAC. Its the best blue-red out there and has been for years.

Ellie, which item on the aging pyramid worries you the most? I’ve lost sleep over my skin’s lack of receptivity.

Probably not?

I guess this is what we get with the Gawker migration? Cool stuff.

This is terrible to say, but I feel like I don't even know *how* to read non-snarky news anymore. Usually I would be made aware of some news story through Gawker, read it and the comments, the go check things like WaPo for more info if I needed it. Where can I get my news with a delightful snark filter?

I don’t think it’s weird. I spent some time covering for our executive director when she was ill (I was a project manager at the time) and I did not like it. I am excellent at diligently following instructions and supporting someone higher level but I don’t like actually being higher level. I know we’re all supposed…

I feel like a person whose introduction to porn was their rapist abductor kind of doesn't have the most level starting point for a conversation about the subject. But maybe that's just me.

Watching baby boomers bitch about millenials it’s like how many of you motherfuckers went through an unpaid internship? When you go through an apprenticeship for jobs like welding or tile laying you still get paid. The generation that essentially got a raise every single year sure likes to bitch about the generation…

It is my business — AND the governments business.

Full disclosure: I work on Capitol Hill for a liberal office. (And I use The Slot in my work sometimes.)

We all know the best tip to get by during your unpaid internship at your fav luxury/lifestyle brand: have rich parents that will bankroll you and pay your rent, cause there’s no way you can afford to live in that two bedroom in Williamburg working as a hostess three days a week.

I doubt it, it’s probably the popularity of foods like sushi and burritos becoming popular in countries with very large populations.
