Not to mention that in Los Angeles, she's an equal nightmare - like, how sad is it that you're ALWAYS IN HOLLYWOOD? (And I don't mean the idea of Hollywood, I mean the jerkiest and lamest part of the general neighbourhood - Standard Hollywood, Chateau Marmont, etc.).

Bite's Agave Lip Mask! I am a fan of most of Bite's product line (my skin tone ranges from olive in the winter to a very deep bronze in the summer months and they tend to have a large variety of complimentary shades that are MATTE! Yes!) but their lip mask is fantastic for WOC and anyone else who is prone to skin…

If you're in the UK your GP can refer you to a dermatologist for a cosmetic cortisone shot (for prominent keloids and/or large cysts where they will be effective) or if capable in-house your GP can take care of it there on their own time. I've only ever had trouble getting one (I'm a women of colour dual UK/non-EU…

Oh thank you for the product recommendation! I'll try anything, really. And, it seems Lush supports a lot of ethical campaigns I hold dear, including Palestinian causes. Double win!

That's true - thank goodness for the NHS. Or at least my physician, anyway.

Mirena IUD newly in place since Jan 7, but actually only started getting cystic acne when I went off NuvaRing (had been on that for about 5 years) two years ago. Then two years without any hormonal BC, then the IUD. I mean, here's to a chance that the Mirena will settle some things with my skin but I'm not hopeful,…

Okay question:
1) Cystic acne. The one thing my hormones do that I can't easily hide or sex away (it's not all bad, right??). I've tried ALL THINGS but there are surely tips I'm missing out on. I got one really difficult buddy that's been on my face for months to soften up and slowly let loose with a combination of hot…

I'm vegan but I say wear the fuck out of that cape. I wear a lot of leather and wool, but it can be sourced in ethical ways (though that would not convince vegans that are vegan primarily out of empathy). It's the trade in *new* fur that's really ethically bankrupt, in my opinion. And if anyone gives you shit for it,…

The Glasgow bit is unfair to include. That's just regular movie-watching in Glasgow.

It filmed entirely in England, however. You're seeing English gardens and a little computer imagery magic in the trailer.

Excellent, thank you. I was too busy trying to cover up a freaking blemish to look myself when I left the first comment.

I hope you're considering or at least have looked into someone to discuss WOC hair/skin care. Obviously there's a lot of variance within that broad category, but some basic "here's great shit for darker skin" (because WOC are more prone to scars and pigmentation issues *and* not being able to find a bloody colour…

It's kind of the point, though. Models are supposed to be human hangers - little to no interference from natural protrusions desired.

It was Oscar bait from the get go, and it worked. Which is heartily ironic, since Oyelowo's Rev. Dr. MLK, Jr. was 100 times the performance of Redmayne's - mimicry was bested by depth in this instance - and he was snubbed completely. As well, the Theory of Everything put an entire London theatre audience to sleep when…

Actually, the group date thing is totally true. Brits don't date one-on-one. Nor do most other Europeans, actually. Whenever my latent non-Britishness pops up and I go on a date (i.e. myself and the person I'm interested in), my friends ask. "What's wrong with him? Is he keeping you a secret? Why haven't you met every…

Jack O'Connell's been famous in in and around the UK for a while, and Unbroken looks like the worst role of his of late - '71 and Starred Up are brilliant, and he's brilliant in them.

Trust me, that helps. If you want to make it clearly a support gesture (sometimes my family members who wear hijab aren't sure how to read body language since they understandably get a lot of mixed cues from their fellow Americans), throw in a "Salaam sister." It's areligious but clearly a supportive sentiment - all…

Right, just like the parking dispute in Paris. Come on. I know U.S. media coverage of these murders was late to the party, but it's clearly reported as a hate crime at most international media outlets at this point.

The cinematography is awful. You can't just follow around a dancer with the camera and call it a day. There's absolutely no emotion in how this is captured on video - either this is the first take of an improvised choreography or David LaChapelle decided not to research filming ballet before this.

Dr. Davis' current political beliefs are more in line with socialism, yes, but I'm not sure what's with the emphasis on "used to be a Communist" in this article. Would it matter if she still is? And given that her remarkable activism and scholarship engages some things most American liberals fear alongside their…
