I worked in advertising (I no longer do because it’s evil and adds nothing of value to the world but I digress), and an ad like that by a huge company like Dove (or the parent company Unilever) goes through a LOT of people. This was not a handful of tone deaf idiots, this was a lot of tone deaf idiots. Baffles the…

I really like Origins moisturisers.

Smashbox primer is half off right now at Nordstrom Rack. NYX photo loving primer is supposed to be good.

I recommend gong to Sephora and getting take-home samples of any primer you may be interested in (they’ll put some in a tiny little pot for you) and use a different one each day until you find something that works. Like I said, you may be best suited for something in the smashbox family—I used them for a while. I use t…

This week I discovered the Rainforest of the Sea lipsticks from Tarte. YOU GUYS. Escape is my new go-to, and Popsicle will be my going out ‘stick. It’s comfortable and long-wearing and perfectly satiny. I’m getting so sick of all of my obnoxious-to-wear liquid lipsticks (both matte and glossy) and this feels…

I had to rush my 21 1/2 year old cat to the vet because I saw blood on her vulva and she was acting strange. $300 later and the vet thinks it’s cystitis. She’s got meds, fluids, antibiotics, and anti-nausea medication. I’m home having a wine now.

I am so mad at myself. I was wheeling a cart out of the grocery store with a few items including a case of Miller Lite (don’t judge me) for a Cubs party. As I was heading towards my car, some old man entering the store stops, points at me and says “Going to get drunk and take care of your kids?” He wasn’t joking, he…

Hypothermia is the cause of death, that doesn’t rule out foul play.

I’m shocked that she wasn’t drugged. The way she was acting in that surveillance footage. I dunno. I’ve never seen a drunk person walk like that. Poor girl. I feel so bad for her family.

These people are so goddamn annoying its infuriating. They talk about welfare system this and welfare system that.

Lifelong Southsider, schooled in Woodlawn. Oh, they were more than your average street gang, and aspired to be much more. In fact, they conspired with Qaddafi to be a homegrown terrorist organization, one of their many iterations. They attempted to cloak their criminal enterprise as a quasi political group. The Black…

Statistically-speaking, your ancestors who came to this country were almost certainly low-wage immigrants who worked shitty jobs and barely scraped by in order to give their children a better life. A large number of immigrants in the great migrations of the early 20th century never learned to speak English, never…

Oh really, the article that I read from the time period by James Alan McPherson May 1969 paints them as a gang but more. They were about organizing. The Main of the Main 21. The leader, seemed from the article to be dynamic in the sense that he drew people and they wanted to listen to what he had to say, when he…

Why would anyone wait this long to get their immigration status pinned down?

Dude does a crap ton of stuff for charity and we never hear a lot about it. A great example of a master of his profession, but an even better person. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if those floors magically got repaired through an “anonymous” donation from a mystery donor having the initials DW.

I love it. Denzel was acting like part of the family, just talking up a storm. Very cool!

Denzel up in there talking about the black stone rangers oh Lawd

Awww. She was glowing.

I’m inclined to believe Cardi B cause they do be lyin.
