My look is basically an Aldi Dita von Teese. Best of luck finding yours!

I know. I hate it, too. Why do we need to defend our behavior? Sigh

I can relate with almost everything you said. There are so many opinions about makeup and feminism and I probably have held them all at one time or another.

Could we maybe also drop the idea that if you don’t wear make up you don’t care about how you look or that you don’t care about yourself in general? Can’t we just make the choices we want and not worry about the different choices someone else makes? I know I know crazy. But I don’t wear makeup. I just never have.…

I see where you’re coming from with this, but I have to disagree. Granted, I’m not the type that posts all about clothes and makeup, but I’m also not the type that posts very much about the heavy stuff going on in life either. My posts do generally fair on the fluffier, lighter side of life. I do however, go deep…

The thing I missed most about leaving uni was no more Boots meal deals. My local Boots doesn’t do them. It’s a goddamn crime. Give me Mexican bean wraps or give me death.

I didn’t wear makeup for years because of internalised misogyny, because I was a Serious Intellectual Girl who understand that beauty is only skin-deep and there are so many more important things than lipstick and this was in no way an attempt to appease the patriarchy or my reaction to being a plain girl who was…

I just think it’s so weird that women make individual choices and then absolute strangers think they can have all kinds of opinions about them.

The most important thing about Chimamanda Ngoczi Adiche is she works for Boots, and Boots is one of those British things - like the BBC and Waitrose - that you have no idea how you can live without it once you’ve experienced it.

My mom did the caring about your appearance shows you respect others thing too, and I’ve pretty much rejected that and not taught that to my daughter. We owe the people around us to be clean and tidy (not letting long hair trail in food, get in other people’s faces, etc) but that’s about it. No one is owed a pleasant…

I have a law degree and a side job at Sephora. Suffice it to say, I have no damn problem wearing and caring about makeup and skincare at the same time as caring about my firm’s clients and doing a good job for them too.

It took me 28 years of life to finally come to terms with my femininity and makeup and let me tell you, Sephora knows all about it.

Re: snarky Kristen Davis comments- does “Dirtbag” mean the author of this article is a dirtbag? Bc no argument here.

Don’t you think being a constant cynic like this might be counterproductive? Snarking on every kristin davis is like crying wolf, and there’s plenty of real wolves out there. Maybe her methods are a little clunky but the left doesn’t need to eat itself, especially not now.

So... cool. White women worried about their brown babies are assholes. Got it.

Megan, if you can’t tell, literally everyone who has commented about the Kristin Davis thing you wrote thinks you’re an asshole. Maybe rethink it next time instead of trying to score points with your fellow writers.

This is a terribly written dirtbag. First of all, why the snark for Kristin Davis? Are you serious right now? This is a mother genuinely and articulately concerned for her black daughter. And secondly, the Kardashians were set to go to that dinner before Kanye was committed. In fact, Kim was in midair when she…

Geez, this sneering at poor Charlotte there really doesn’t seem warranted. She’s a mom. She’s scared for her kid. She has good reason to be scared for her kid. Are we supposed to be laughing at her? This isn’t funny.

I don’t get the snark on Kristin Davis.

I like what Kristin had to say. It’s all exactly right. Take note other interracial adopters. Best of luck to her and her baby girl.
