Apparently it's a fixation/addition. Supposed to have originated from Great Jones Street in Manhattan, a place associated with drug addicts.

Ah.
Thank you.
I presume the street talk the Brighton Massive use hasn't reached my neck of the woods yet.

Probably also doesn't make you a good woke feminist to say 'I'm addicted to/fixated on getting pummelled'...

Personally, I've never gone in to a massage as if it's a fight. I never realised beauty treatments were so aggressive.

my American work colleague uses the term, in her defense she is actually straight outta Syracuse, not just being pretentious

It's not just the free treatments that she receives, but the fact that these are 'benefits in kind' that she should be paying tax on. The fact that she is still trading on her "honest" approach is beyond laughable.

Thank you. I always thought it was a ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ etymology. Love to know the truth. (Word nerd alert)

I thought extractions were a no no and the only way to keep pores clean is by regular exfoliation? I remember reading that from a skincare expert/ facialist, not sure who

I was curious after reading her article how much £11 in 1989 is worth now and it is £24. I know this probably isn't the point she is making, but the people now she cites charge 8× that. Including Sarah Chapman - the #presstreatment she quoted was around £200.
So, actually, what was the point she is making? People pay a HUGE amount more now for the same thing?

Wait, so the word "pampering" is "meaningless, infantile, a bit 80s and decidedly naff", but cosseting ...

She really does think a forceful opinion makes her edgy, doesn't she?

It's too "feminine" or what not, so a facial must resemble Bruce Lee's training session to make it non-frivolous.

Also, that's not journalism, it's a ragey - but nonetheless fluff - opinion piece. Anyone can write opinion

Plus I'd be mighty hacked off if after following expensive skin care routines SH and Hirons etc recommend, I went for a facial and they extracted masses of gunk from my pores and gave a better exfoliation than I could do myself with one of their favourite products. What is the bloody point of it all then if you have to trust yourself to a specialist?

If anything I think SH would find it difficult to write without an opinion. That’s how you know she’s not a journalist.

ETA: nothing wrong with being a beauty writer or writer, no idea why it’s an issue for her.

'it seems better to pay experts to do something you can't do yourself for free'.
What? But all the things she says you can do - not free granted. More baffled than ever. (Aren't they all free for her btw?)

(Also if she or Lauren are reading I am not Kat Sing).
