the lede image reminds me of this woman getting rid of her mandated black niqab after fleeing:

I have nothing but questions. So many questions...

So what I’m getting is no wire hangers, but yes to just over-lining the absolute hell out of the edge of your mouth.

Here is Joan Crawford in the 1930s:

I don’t know how they did it. I’ve also heard that they would put lipstick on their nipples, too, like to make them show through nightgowns, which sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

Corned Beef... when I make corned beef, it takes five hours of simmering and about eight ore spent wrapped up in the fridge. The result is extremely tender, juicy, and rich, like you’d get in a really good deli. A friend of mine has cancer, and I’ve been trying to give him soem corned beef.

First batch - his family ate…

I’ve mentioned before how much I love these articles (always fun when you pretend to be a vampire who lived through these decades on a weekly basis) but wow this.

This reminds me of the time I dyed a pair of jeans back to blue and forgot I had some cheap-ass crystal earrings in the pocket. The earrings came out looking like sapphires and I liked them 1000% better.

Amazing! In a related sort of area, my mum and her sister each had rings when they were younger with their birthstones in them. Since their birthstones weren’t “cool” enough, they would paint them with nail polish to change up the colour. Hilariously enough, I now own my aunt’s ring (nail polish-free) and it has a…

Here’s another thing women would use the red lipstick for, according to my grandmother. They would put it on their plain white pearls (or more likely, cheap white beads strung like pearls) to make the pearls look pink and fancy. White pearls = boring, pink pearls = sexxxy.

Working at a fast food joint, the manager was a really nice man who did charity work with immigrant children on the side, was endlessly cheerful, and so on. I’m working drive-through. Customer orders his food in heavily accented English, and gets abusively irate when I ask him (politely) to repeat his order. I’m…

No, the best part of this story is that Kate Moss carries vodka in her carry on as a back up because she is Queen.

The best part of this story is that even Kate Moss flies EasyJet.

One passenger reports that Moss, after being refused alcohol by flight attendants, went to get vodka from her own stored carry-on. After she was reprimanded by the flight crew, Moss allegedly called one flight attendant a “basic bitch.”

and then diplo spent the rest of the day seriously contemplating all possible meanings of the phrase “pot calling the kettle black”

If Kate Moss called me a basic bitch I’d get it emblazoned on a t-shirt and proudly tell everyone the back story at every opportunity.

Sometimes, people from production would stand outside your room, when you’d think that they didn’t know you were up. They’d whisper, “You have to get him back to Buckingham Palace. The Royal Family’s very upset. They’re not happy about the show. It’s this new thing they’ve never done before, and they’re trying to be…
