Sali Hughes #39 Four fridges? Still not as cold as a reply from Sali

[Jelly Bean]

She doesn't even talk about it now does she? She used to always mention writing it lying in bed.
What would usual reasons for such a delay be? Lots of rewriting?

 

[Mselvista]

Isn't she with HarperCollins?

She is. 4th Estate is a HarperCollins imprint - posdibly UK only

I was looking for something in an old thread and came across this image. December 2020. What a contrast.

 

[Sideboard Bob]

I usually like that kind of illustration, it’s better than anything I could ever do, and fashion illustration is often very stylised. But there’s no excuse for how unrecognisable those drawings are. I wonder if the “muses” feel flattered or insulted?

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Exactly, they could be well meaning comments from animal lovers

 

[WinterSolstice]

The shoes and jeans made me think of this

Investigation Launched To Find Out Where Rest Of Mens’ Trousers Have Gone

FASHION POLICE has launched an official investigation into the disappearance of the final few inches of mens' trousers, a full two years after members of the public first brought the troubling occurrence to the attention …

The follow on article for me was Boris approaches IRA fuel smugglers

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Fair enough but from what I can see she was invited and not the organiser (or whatever the word is). Surely they should be answering the question on what is being done now

 

[SqualorVictoria]

@WinterSolstice just saw your comment regarding Jennifer Rock and I completely agree! She clearly models herself on Hirons. It's crazy what she charges for 'consultations'

 

[melfish]

Whoops!

Showing myself up as the beefy face pleb that I am

Nah, there's just a Mexican restaurant on every corner here

Just read the Jane Fonda interview - it gets really sad when this absolute icon and legend talks about how she can’t work unless she looks attractive, she needs men to think she looks good, and she’ll put more effort in to her appearance if she knows she’s going to be talking to a man, even if it’s just a male doctor.

Sali’s conclusion to the article:

If my being a woman has made her make less effort today, then I can’t imagine how she could look any more beautiful than this for a man.

Yuck. And then there are five product recommendations, all from L’Oreal.

Yikes, what an embarrassment. No doubt L'Oreal was given sign-off. Imagine if some minor celeb had said that, about dressing for men. Sali would be having a go on twitter. Or old Sali would, before she started censoring herself. On the other hand, she dresses for Leonard, so maybe she just relates

This page is what comes up when you click on Sali's author page at Fourth Estate even though they appear to be publishing her next book. Maybe they are updating her bio. "Sali Hughes: NOT FOUND or error" would make a decent thread title.

Isn't she with HarperCollins?

I absolutely can't colour match any way but in person. I don't know what my skin tone is but every foundation is too chalky, too pink, too beige, too orange or too yellow. If she includes actual samples of it with lipstick orders, and I found a shade which worked, I might be tempted.

I may try it. I have not spent any money on beauty for months as I am still using my stash. I too am crap at colour matching though and I don’t need any new lipsticks as still have some LE ones from her previous launch

 

[Never in the World]

I’ve got a sample I get the jungle name you smell like a greenhouse I quite like it but my instant reaction is I don’t love it enough for a full bottle but you never know I can still smell it slightly on my wrist after 5hrs

 

[Nonah]

Does anyone know why my avatar is wearing a little hat?

Oh! Everyone is! What’s happening?!

 

[glowup]

Nope I can confirm they're lovely (at least for me! And my mum, actually, who is quite the picky lady!). The Oi range in particular is lush but I also like their hair mask things in a massive sachet. And the Naturaltech range, although the scent is definitely not for everyone!

I've tried a couple of Davines products and really liked them too

 

[Nonah]

I thought she was ‘beauty editor’?

 

[WinterSolstice]

Sorry for being slow but what does not with the photo mean?

The JCM column each week has a photo of her wearing whatever trend she’s writing about that week. She wrote she wouldn’t be dressing up for it any more.

 

[Stillwater]

It’s a cab.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

To be fair, Anna Friend (no clue who she is) was on the panel and she replied agreeing with the sentiment and recommended some voices



What was the defensive response? I didn't see it

 

[Nonah]

SH has a dog so she must do a fair bit of walking. Walking is exercise. Therefore she does exercise.
