OMGGGG my first thread title 
THRILLED
I’d like to thank [insert oscars style speech here] and most importantly @Disillusioned for spotting its potential, @The Dowager for setting it up, and all the lovely Tattlers on this thread for their wit, warmth, wisdom and ability to sniff out a wrong ‘un.
I tried to think of a message for Sal but couldn’t

I don’t think you need a further message for Sali - you summed her and her output up so perfectly! And with a pithiness she could only dream of.I tried to think of a message for Sal but couldn’t
I laugh myself silly every time I look at that title! I hope she sees it!
I do, too, it's really brilliant!
This 'I'm very interested in the culture of beauty' line is really a way to intellectualise and justify buying, shilling and being given lots and lots of products.Interview with SH, which I'm unable to read in full as not a subscriber. Not sure if this in addition to a piece on her 20 years of wisdom or this is the wisdom and she hasn't written for somewhere other than the Guardian after all.
Walk the line: Sali Hughes on the power of beauty | Business Post
The journalist, author and beauty expert tells us what inspires herwww.businesspost.ie
And trolled? Seriously
Interest in the culture of beauty...
Sounds like a bullshit line off a thin cv to me.
Also once again with the trolling as a "here's an interesting thing about me..." If she thinks that the discussion on here is trolling she probably thinks Gogglebox is some sort of bloodsport.

Oh my word now I am imagining Lee and Jenny reading her guardian articles out loud. Jenny with a face of bemusement, reaching for a dictionary, Lee asking her if she likes being cosseted by her face cream and bursting into a fit of giggles.
if she’s interested in the customs and history behind beauty practices, why doesn’t she write about them, or include snippets of information in her articles? Lisa Eldridge was so interested she wrote a whole book about the subject!This 'I'm very interested in the culture of beauty' line is really a way to intellectualise and justify buying, shilling and being given lots and lots of products.

I'll never forget her comment about LE- "we're totally different, Lisa is a makeup artist and I'm a writer". No idea why she thinks that Lisa writing a book doesn't make her a writer. It was also a fantastic book!
Yes she never writes about beauty customs, only beauty products. And usually from her very white British perspective, which is a tiny part of beauty culture. In fact it is just a look at Sali's own beauty history and interests - 'blah blah loved Elizabeth Taylor from a young age, blah blah a bold red lip etc etc'. With the occasional reference to a Nanna smell for the history aspect.
You know she will, come on
Nope. She's never been here.You know she will, come on
There's a programme coming up with Lisa Eldridge on BBC2 about the Georgians and make up. Can you imagine the car crash it'd be with Sali from the valleys?

Hiya!
I'm Sali Hughes, you might remember me from a documentary about my troll hell (...). During the Georgian era both men and women used makeup. In contrast to my trolls who are only women. (...) The Georgians would put little pieces of felt on their faces that would either symbolize their political or other preferences or to disguise syphilis marks. Speaking of syphilis, did you know that my trolls discuss my sex life? (...)
Ooooh thanks for this @Muddlinleigh. Lisa Eldridge, Chatsworth, and make-up history - thank you BBC commissioning people 
Sounds great. Wouldn’t it be cool to get Lucy Worsley and LE together to do a social history of makeup series.
It is an excellent thread title!OMGGGG my first thread title

Georgian mouseskin eyebrows doubtless more subtle than the microblading SH is currently sporting.
