What Are Rihanna & Drake Doing?

A strong black woman, at the top of her game, who speaks her mind during a year where racial tensions are high, we have a candidate equivalent to a “Grand Wizard” that has been running their campaign off the fear of white males, and is bringing out bigots in masses.

GOD FORBID a black woman be happy and successful. Her exuberance during the Olympics was infectious and made even events I had already seen more enjoyable. It’s sickening that she’s being attacked like this and that there are people who truly believe she deserves it.

She is a strong black woman that does things on her terms, and that scares the fuck out of a bunch of racist, sexist neckbeards who see her out there enjoying herself and feel confused tingling in tiny, unused parts of their bodies they haven’t seen in years.

I am both floored and disappointed that there are people out there who are using up all this time and energy and resources to harass a woman. A black woman for just starring in a movie and use social media to communicate with people and share and support her thoughts and feelings.

I think Lainey at LaineyGossip nailed it

How did this happen to Leslie Jones?

“Another problem with couponing is that, according to research like this2003 study from NYU (PDF), it leads you to buy stuff you wouldn’t normally buy.”

I also enjoyed my Sephora experience. It was a bit intimidating, but my helper was great with breaking everything down and demo-ing and asking if I liked things. I would recommend it to others - especially the makeup challenged, like me! :-)

I have this same experience with MAC and it’s why I’ve switched to Sephora too. I love their products, but I hate going into their stores, they either ignore me completely (and I have to beg for service) or they treat me like I have ‘thief’ tattooed on my forehead.

I think another big component to this problem is retailers. Even if Maybelline, or whatever, decided to make 20 deep shades tomorrow, I know the retailers in my area wouldn’t stock them because then they’d risk the perception of no longer being in a “nice” area of town. There are lots of women of color where I live,…

As a dark skin black woman, the experience of shopping for beauty products is inherently racialized because I live in a world with an extremely narrow standard of beauty that often doesn’t include women who look like me. Most mainstream beauty advertisements and shade ranges for foundation act like women of my…

I just want to nip something in the bud. THE PROBLEM WOC FACE REGARDING MAKEUP IS DIFFERENT THAN THE PROBLEM FACING PALE PEOPLE. PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE BEING EXTRA PALE TO BEING BLACK/A POC.

I generally agree. I don’t want to do any laundry on a trip. I try to make sure to pack one extra pair of pants and a shirt in case something happens where I spill on a shirt or something gets ruined.

The difficulty which is the end result (the further you get from the mean skin tone, the worse your options get) is similar, but the reasons for the problem (the conventional beauty industry spent a long time not wanting anything to do with non-white ladies versus most companies just not catering to the ghostly end of…

they were in the process of divorcing when he od’d. rather than add additional stress, and because they seem to have no actual hatred toward each other, she stayed with him at least a a support system/next of kin.

This is another serious question - who was operating on a patient that obviously didn’t have the conditions that would require the operations? It sounds like a serious breach of ethics on the part of the surgeons. The whole thing is heart-wrenching. The daughter should have been taken away from this monster by social…

Kim’s makeup artist is really on fire these days. She looks so so good!

thats so gross....

A huge paycheck for an executive is very, very rarely worth the expense of a staff of good, happy, talented workers with a low rate of turnover. I think that there are many companies that would have a better bottom line if they realized this.
