He is talking about Portland specifically. This statement is spot-on for this city for those who know the history and daily politics of this city. This is not a progressive place by any means and often a lot of mutual back-patting by white people for allowing POC a minute to speak about gentrification, access to good…

I met Rapino several years ago. She is a lovely human being, but I mostly just gaped at how damn attractive she is. Mmmffgh. I wish I were made of less superficial impulses, but nope!

Witness me!

A “girls” trip to Northern Italy proves this is solid advice, but in my case, was only a problem once we got home. The four of us ladies had never been out of the country before and all of us are from the rural Southwest US. My mom is a brave woman, realizing that we had more fear of public transit (yeah, I know) than…

Good to see a reasonable use of funds and solid taste.

I also have a two year old and your mantra of “play it cool” is basically on repeat all day in my mind. I was raised to be ashamed of my body despite my mom’s best intentions and very confused about the shame. So when my daughter sees me change my tampons and pads, be naked, talk about body parts while washing and…

Thank you so much! This is one of those things where I have a pile of samples and no idea how to actually use them I so appreciate it!

I need help, ladies and gents. Where in the sphere of night/morning skincare routine does serums come into play. Before moisterizer? Instead of? Serums are snakeoil devil jizz and don’t put that sample on my face? Help!

Jacyln, Desi, KathleenLights, Michelle Phan, Kandee... can’t throw a rock into the beauty blogger/youtuber scene without ricochet off one of these names. The tone strikes me as bizarre.

Ms. Banks could use a 1 year flight ban just so she can realign herself with what “bitch-ass” truly looks like. It definitely is not service industry people, ffs. I’d like her to go back throwing punches at the industry for appropriating culture. That was solid.

This is a bit more intense that what she (probably) does for reshaping and filling. It is pure wizardry.

Ha! A “massive pr blunder” at a PR Firm. They are not very good at their job if they couldn’t anticipate that aspect. Must be something else, otherwise this is a big ol’ banner of “Do not hire us! We’ll sink you with glee!”

You and your standards... pshhhh.

Told not be nice about it? Throw in a “no touching me” clause and I would absolutely destroy him. Otherwise, I’d join you glass bath department on aisle 9.

I’ll allow it.

First time I’ve ever seen one of these and yell “NAILED IT!”

I didn’t convey that correctly. Back in the olden days, if one plucky newbie sauntered into the comment section and asked “who’s that? Why do we care?” they would be violating the Jez Comment Commandments (not actual title) and that plucky newbie would be crushed under the great ol’ Banhammer of yore.

I’ll drink to that.

I, too, enjoyed a good hammerin’ and slayin harder than Buffy...but I think those early years taught us that with great power, comes great shitbaggery and narcissism (oh good god I just realized I have been around here for almost 8 years - get off my old-ass Jez lawn).

Ages and ages ago, it used to be a rule at Jez that comments like “who is X?” were deleted or ridiculed to death. Now it is a mainstay in some of the celeb-oriented articles. I am thinking you are right, but it is more of a ubiquitous thing now even with the olds to feign ignorance for internet cool points.
