Sali Hughes #16 The sell-out who couldn't sell out, and that is a legal fact.

Thread title is a joint effort this time - thanks to @Aude @Mselvista and @AmberSpyglass

(Bumper amount of good quotes from Sali to chose from this time though )

Btw just noticed the Most Liked button, top right, orders posts in, erm, Most Liked ranking. Brilliant.

Wow, that Wayne Goss video. The fake-assery on IG is insane

Thank you for the credit, but 'The sell-out who couldn't sell out' was originally @Disillusioned's phrase. My only contribution was putting it forward as the thread title. (I did credit her at the time.)

I see Caitlin IMM Moran has announced a book and not a peep from Sali...

 

[Jelly Bean]

I don't understand - 'Cougar Beauty' is horrifying and had to have a 'piece' written about it, whereas 'Ginsberg is God' is just a name?
Not defending either obviously - but I know which one I find the most revolting

Think it might be a film. On a billboard in NYC?

 

[melfish]

It's her movie. Which I won't be watching *shudder*

She has a new book out too. Definitely a bit of cooling in that relationship, Sali would usually be gushing about her pre order.

Maybe they’ve fallen out about lockdown rules flouting

Sali went to the pub restaurant though against advice on the cusp of lockdown though, I think it’s been frosty longer than that. The gush seems atrophied.

 

[Whiskers]

On the 2nd ITBW with Caitlin Moran, she mentions how she saw a facialist/skincare person to help with her oily skin and acne and Sali seemed a bit pissed off that she hadn’t come to her about it.

Here's some actual beauty journalism that uses applying makeup in quarantine as a jumping-off point for bigger questions

I've wanted to mention Jessica DeFino for a while. I'm glad there's a narrative like hers out there to counter the Trinny's, Caroline's and Sali's, as well as overdoing it on the skin with huge multi-step skin routines, but something about her rubs me up the wrong way. She has an axe to grind with dermatologists because her treatments didn't work for her, but wants to extrapolate natural=superior out to a universal audience. For me, you can prize my retinoids out of my cold, dead, smooth, acne-free, lifeless hands

Some of the stuff she writes about is total pseudoscience but likes to link to outdated, poorly designed papers because science (example, seed cycling with a paper from 1993). Maybe I'm just too cynical and long in the tooth, but I don't need another woman telling me what my feminism is about.

^^^ Just realised half of what I wrote doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, I think I'm trying to untangle what makes me about her. That'll learn me to write without caffeine on board

That's a really good read, thanks for that! A lot of food for thought...

@Satisfying Click I know what you mean about Jessica Delfino... I find myself questioning a lot of what she says. I love the alternative perspective she brings but she draws out a level of irritation in me because I LIKE MAKEUP AND MOISTURISER AND CLEANSER AND SERUM... does that make me a sorrowful product of the patriarchal capitalist society I’ve been raised in or does it just mean I like playing with make up in the same way I used to like colouring in as a kid? I just don’t believe for the majority of people it’s that ‘deep’, but I could be completely wrong. I find the act of putting on make up and doing my (very simple) skincare routine therapeutic and almost meditative. When i was experiencing severe PND and OCD applying make up was one of the only things that could take me away from my head.

The aspects of make up that are playful, creative and soothing are the reasons I love watching Lisa Eldridge, Harriet Hadfield and the legendary Mary Greenwell on Instagram. If you haven’t seen one of Mary’s videos please watch, she’s just so funny - the first few videos were so amateur in the way she had set the phone up etc, which just added to her charm. It was very real.

I saw on Twitter that she was 'cor'ing over some trendy wank Hoxton house, but looking at that website I spotted a property far more up her street...

That apartment is gorgeous but their are some WEIRD styling choices from Bella there (and I'd be flogging the wall hangings/bedspreads/throw pillows on ebay immediately. A p a e d o bedspread to mach your p a e d o candle, what a world.)

So there‘s literally a house full of that horrifying stuff!

I have a grim fascination with these Twitter "covens" and their dynamics. It's so performative - Caitlin was bessie mates with "Hughes" when she was on the up, but I wonder if she's backing away now "Hughes" has had her meltdown and is becoming increasingly irrelevant? Or is there a reason that friendships of hers come to an end a la Hemmo?
