Not so much “people”: women. Women get this question.

Meanwhile, at today’s meeting on feline health care.

I posted this the other day, but it just keeps being more fun:

I saw it last night. I felt the same.

I quit his special around the same time. He wouldn’t let go of his abortion bit, and it just wasn’t funny.

Thats so uncool. Especially since a writer director knew about it. So they either stole the idea and didnt say anything, or told people he this is ripping Tig off and they decided to ignore it.

Not a problem. Just have the camera record on a 30 minute loop that continuously overwrites itself unless a weapon is unholstered, in which case it stops overwriting and just records whatever is happening until the weapon is re-holstered.

I say this as a legal immigrant with no particular love for line jumpers.

Yeah. Whenever people went on about the total impossibility of deporting all the undocumented people, I just said “They don’t actually want to deport that many people. What they want is to create a terrorized underclass who will work for even less money, never go to the police or authorities for crimes, and basically…

It does for me. I don’t wear makeup of any kind. Not even lotion (not for moral reasons or anything, I’m just lazy). I wash my face with bar soap (COME AT ME) and water, and that’s pretty much it in terms of what I do to my face-skin. No one has *ever* complained to me or called me unprofessional or whatever. And I…

Agreed. I find it weird this is debatable about whether its wrong. Its wrong. Its worse than just wearing make up. You’re setting equally bad expectations by wearing all these invisible makeup products and then selling them as your natural skin/face.

That is still a significant amount of effort. I fully support Alicia on this, but as someone with acne scars, under eye hyper pigmentation, and sparse and nearly invisible eyebrows, it’s important to note the effort. Is putting a clear mattifyer significantly different than my tinted moisturizer with an spf? No. I…

EXACTLY. People have been SALIVATING waiting for her to fuck up. It’s what happens to uncooperative women! Honestly, I kind of feel like a big “fuck you” to Kara for playing patriarchy-enforcer here. This isn’t really about Alicia Keys’s lack of integrity for grooming her damn brows.

Yeah, I can’t really blame her for being in the public eye and just slapping a little tinted moisturizer or primer on. It doesn’t have to be full coverage, and it doesn’t have to be a full face - she’s definitely NOT doing a “no makeup makeup” look.

I do this look, too. I call it the “I have no meetings today but…

I really don’t think it matters much. I think the point is to normalize a bigger range of female beauty. Not to take some weird ascetic stance that requires a perfectly pure and 100% makeup-free face forever and ever. Even to SOMETIMES wear no makeup can be a big deal. Even to wear extremely minimal makeup can be a…

I don’t think she made a huge deal out of it though, the press did. I seem to recall when asked about it, she said that she had nothing against makeup or other women who enjoy wearing it everyday, and might wear it again, but she didn’t like feeling like she have to be made up all the time. I’ll try and find the…

no dude i am totally with you. nothing in that list even screams MAKEUP at me tho, which was the “proof” that she’s going back on her stance. and you’re right even if she did wear some some days i would not care.

And even then! Eyebrow filler does not seem like a huge big deal to me. Man, I just really, really, really wish it was more normalized for female celebrities to just not really do much makeup and have that be just whatever. And to still have them celebrated for their beauty. We don’t do this shit to men!

Agreed. No makeup doesn’t mean completely bare face. Adam is aggressively missing the point and eff him.

here’s the list of products her makeup artist uses “sometimes”:
