Yep, when I was on tour it was super basic but I gave thanks for our rider every damn day. A person can only eat so much shitty, cardboard pizza.

That's really awesome feedback. And to be fair, no publication is perfect. But for some reason, it really does seem (at least at face value) to happen more with publications that may not use WOC as models.

Amen. My thoughts exactly!

As a(n African American) makeup artist I can tell you that's not the issue. Far from the days of Max Factor, there are a billion and one products available for women of color and to match global skin tones. Unless a discussion is had prior to or in the midst of a shoot where the photographer explicitly says, "look,…

That's enough internet for today. I'm out. Good bye y'all, I'll remember you all in therapy.

"What are you talking about? I'm not vandalizing this place, I'm expressing my 1st amendment rights! It just so happens, I supply my own red paint."

I would have stuck my fingers in my vagina and painted fuck you with period blood on the wall, but I'm an animal.

Concurring with SugarHill, later term abortions require removal of the fetus and then essentially putting it back together to ensure nothing is left inside the uterus because it can cause bleeding and infections. Intact dilation and extractions require some pretty gruesome techniques if you're squeamish that…

An early miscarriage and an early abortion look about the same as a heavy period - maybe some extra tissue. Nothing much shaped like a newborn - which is what these people would have you believe.

Pretty much anything that can be removed from the human body will look like a pile of gore. Based on the stupidity of his past statements, for all he knows he could have accidentally wandered in on a hysterectomy. It would look a helluva lot more like what he was expecting an abortion to look like than would your…

I posted elsewhere that I had a very early medical abortion— I basically just took some pills and had a really heavy period. I never saw anything even remotely baby shaped (because there wasn't anything to see). It in no way any more gruesome than any particularly gnarly period.

Changing from pro-choice to anti-choice after having undergone a procedure is a thing that happens (rarely). It doesn't stem from the procedure, but from rhetoric like this and a belief that others express that abortion is the worst and people regret it. People start to believe that they did do something wrong or…

Late term, yes. Not because it is murder or the fetus can feel pain, but because the tissue is more baby shaped and that makes it harder for some people to keep in mind that it is not yet a living, independent being. It is clinical and calm, but for some people there is a difference between knowing what the…

My cousin saw blood once and fainted, we should ban all surgeries.

Woo hoo! Validation!

Professional TV makeup artist here. You're correct.

I feel like the makeup artist should know when the camera's live and to GTFO well before that happens. Sympathetic but that seems like a big fail.

eh, I'm kinda leaning with Russel Crowe with this.

No reason? One word: timeshare.

I literally howled in laughter.
