I don't understand why she doesn't just ignore the comments that rattle her? I understand why she's mildly annoyed by some of the tweets but not why she feels then need to respond so snippily.View attachment 101151
More unnecessary curt snippiness
Same here. "I can't live without"...really? I think you can. And billions of people in the world do and they're fine.I’ve been disappointed in Funmi Fetto’s column in general. It seems very press-release based and far removed from non-industry people’s real lives.
So cutting fringe= totally fine and a valuable life skill but for wanting to trim your split ends you're a saddo as no one is gonna be looking at your beefy self anyway? Sali on Twitter really is the gift that keeps on givingThis gets even better... Aren't we supposed to be doing our hair and makeup for ourselves? Or to defy The Man? Get through this horrible time?
Even Brad Mondo has put out a video on how to trim your own (albeit only straight) hair at home now!Going to wield my scissors tonight to trim my hair in "defiance" of all those influencers who think I am too idiotic to carry out a basic trim. Might even put a slash of bright lip on my beefy visage too, my suffragette sisters would be proud
Love his videos!Even Brad Mondo has put out a video on how to trim your own (albeit only straight) hair at home now!
It will be interesting. I suspect that is why there is a ramping up by these influencers to convince us beauty products and experts are still vital. Hence Sali's admitted reluctance to include DIY haircare. Their sponsorships and freebies must be dwindling rapidly, with no sign of recovery any time soon.It will be super interesting to see, generally, where the beauty world goes with all this. Let’s face it, for the vast majority of us beefy incels who never got anything #kindlygifted, we won’t be splashing out big money on beauty products. Not right now and not for the foreseeable future.
All of this, also that a lot of these fast fashion and beauty behemoths are often owned and run by billionaires, and it’s now plain as day they are sitting on their hands and totally unwilling to dip into their pockets to protect their minimum wage workers on the frontline. Or if they are helping it’s the equivalent of the average person parting with a fiver. Not to the mention the fact these huge companies have been doing everything possible to pay barely any tax, for a long time. Or even operating their underpaid workers pension schemes with huge deficits (like at Topshop). I do hope memories last and we collectively kick this behaviour to the kerb.It will be interesting.

Sort of related I was watching QVC the other day and it was almost laughable how increasingly desperate the presenters were to make products relevant eg a £50 leg gel would make 'a wonderful gift for a key or NHS worker' and Sketchers trainers 'perfect for wearing in the house'.
Spending lots of money on non essentials seems like something from a bygone era.
And also hopefully cutting out the rather useless middleman/woman - the influencer. Who seem to serve no useful purpose other than to siphon off freebies and sponsorships no doubt pushing up the price for your average punter. And possibly keeping wages depressed for workers (that maybe is a stretch, granted).When we start to come out the other side of this there’s going to be a lot of pressure from brands and then downstream from influencers about boosting the economy, supporting/creating jobs, not shaming people for how they want to spend their money etc. All well and good but not at the expense of poorly paid workers when the owners have become billionaires off the back of it.
