Sali Hughes #28 See thread

[melfish]

I could never get my head round that (and felt mean criticising it) but it made me uncomfortable seeing all the 'pamper packages' with stuff like Charlotte Tilbury, Clarins for NHS staff, while refuges etc got LIDL and Dove.
In the bag reveal when describing the charity aims Sali did not mention the NHS. It was only for people in hygiene poverty.
Would they say that all the money raised goes to hygiene poverty, while prestige donations go where they see fit? I presume Beauty Banks didn't pay for the 'pamper parcels'?
I've worked for a few charities (no doubt in those files - 'charity workers amongst them') and they are all so clear in their aims and objectives, no matter how tempting to change horses mid stream to follow 'fashionable' causes. Plus somewhere it really should have been explained their reasoning for this.

It reminds me of people who think "If they're so poor, why do they have iPhones and flatscreen TVs"? is check and mate in any argument about welfare over here. You're poor, you can't have nice things to make your existence a tiny bit less miserable.

Modder Russia say Commrade Hughes must commit body and soul also to Red, not just mind. Red should be state of State.

Ven ve have red socialist state wid no Tories, novone vill need to rely on ze bourgeoizie conzumption of her bag to get hygiene productz. Her bag is only half red! Full state of mind full red!

One of her followers is calling for her to become a Dame on the back of this makeup bag.

That whole concentration camp thing is so bleeping offensive. A red lip, fixing PTSD since 1945

Their comms are rubbish anyway, I would expect so much better from a co-founder with a PR background.

So glad someone said this. Their IG feed is shocking. Free School Meals, food banks, Captain Tom, domestic abuse, pensioner poverty, a dog charity, someone proposing in Iceland supermarket, a Mother Theresa quote. Its just a complete ragbag of causes and claptrap. Really confused and confusing.

I mean what is this?

My mother was in Maijdanek concentration camp (showing my age here!) and she would be absolutely furious if you were to recite the red lipstick story to her. The horrors her generation went through are unimaginable and to suggest that any of that could be ameliorated even for one moment by a bleeping pair of red lips is beyond gross.

Gosh - I truly do despise that woman.

Trivialisation, that's what it is

 

[Mselvista]

Have they not been allowed to wear makeup, you've not quite made it clear. Perhaps repeat it a few more times.

I detest this argument! Maybe they saved up for months, maybe it was a gift, or they got it on credit, maybe it was purchased second hand, maybe... none of your business! Just be grateful and count yourself extremely lucky if you're privileged enough to not be poor and leave them alone.

So the domestic abuse charities ask for beauty treats - but where are they sent? The NHS...

The people who complain most loudly about this are usually just two paychecks away from it themselves, or one serious illness

Better photo ops

What is this? No wonder the woman's a respected pr. Honestly, why?

 

[GTL Old-Timer]

Oh, duck off!! (Not you @Mselvista).

They’re losing the plot.

What kind of mad narcissist do you have to be to PUT YOUR NAME on an item that is ostensibly for charity?

Wow. Just wow. And as quotes go, red is a state of mind ain't exactly Oscar Wilde

 

[skronkywildcat]

Maybe it’s for keeping tampons in?

Guess who does the PR for Aromatherapy Associates?



Move along, no conflict of interest to see here

 

[SqualorVictoria]

A Mother Theresa quote, how interesting. I wonder do they realise that Mother Theresa herself didn't give any of the money raised by her charity to people in need and actively encouraged pain and suffering

They do like to quote people with dodgy politics.

 

[rosemarina]

Mother Theresa was anti-contraception, anti-abortion, anti-woman in general. Why can’t Sali ever do the tiniest bit of research?

Woah, Aromatherapy Associates!

If someone told her Mother Theresa had a Tattle thread, she'd be all over it.
