Have you read, “Discipline and Punish” by Michel Foucault?

So, I read the Mismeasure of man, which I loved, but I thought t his his entire introduction was weird and hypocritical in that he pretentiously dropped so many good old boy names and Ivy League credentials, and wasn’t the entire point of the book to highlight the problem with that status quo?

Night Ranger!!! I’m from Oregon too and my first concert was seeing them at the Hult center in Eugene (1987? 88?) Richard Marx opened for them. The lead singer wore a ripped half-shirt with the word, “SHIT” written on it in big block letters.

I love that you remember this soap opera. She was Kelly before she was Buttercup!

I would LOVE an article on this!

I love their mascara right now, and I didn't think I'd ever get off voluminous.

Me too! I got fairly nervous when I didn't see it for a few weeks.

I was feeling very inspired one day, so I went thrifting for men’s blazers. I was going to get some great tweed and other blazers for cheap, and then tailor them for myself. It was a genius idea. I bought five Blazers that were huge, needed new lining, but were gorgeous material. I brought them home. I got out my…

YESSSSS. Fashion What Ifs is back!!!!

Upon second inspection of the french fry shoes, they look like they contain several secret compartments. And guaranteed, no one would ever look for anything inside or around those things. So they are good spy shoes. I mean, I know they seem too conspicuous to be spy shoes, but that would be the WHOLE POINT.

I’m waiting for him to get, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” tattooed on his other arm.

Exactly. Life is about a series of moments with people and deep bonds. This takes time- time free of the constraint of expectation. You cannot hope to have that if you’ve only allotted 3 hours between x and y time each day.

That is a great metaphor for the illusion of control (and knowledge).

First Katie: Your makeup “routine” is mine! “Hope to get a shower in”. Basically. If I have time to even look at my face, it just... all needs to be fixed/painted. But the makeover was so great! Interestingly, I liked the eyes the best.

There are SO MANY things I would have done to myself at that age out of insecurity if I a) had the money, and b)had the pimp parents who would’ve allowed it. And I would have tried to play it off like I didn’t get anything done. I hated my skin- hairy everything, bad acne, double chin and chipmunk cheeks. As it was, I…

Not to mention that most men who get really upset at the idea of their girlfriends getting abortions dont actually want to be single parents. They still want the woman to do the great majority of the parenting.

What I can't figure out is why the bone structure around her eyes looks different. Is that just makeup and fuller brows? Or did she do something surgical?

I like Laura mercier for this also. But I have more intense spots now in my 40s than just a little unevenness and fine wrinkles. Age and sun spots, scars, the “11”, permanent marks from glasses-wearing, and dull skin. At this point, I don't even think makeup will help. I need articles about lasers and Botox.

My theory is that Ru decided Tyra was going to win as soon as she learned she had a kid. Human interest story or some shit. I couldn't believe it. Her makeup always looked wonky and she had no real stage presence or personality at all. There were some great queens that season. Tyra was not one of them.
