Molecule whatever
Is it known as “doing a Sali?” 😂


You have confessed and now you are free 😂


I definitely don’t wear enough linen 🤣🤣
I'm still trying to fathom how to wash my bed linen and my late mother's been absolutely no bleeping use. FeeBee has not offered any guidance on the matter either.

I'm so bloody angry.

I believe there's a beauty thread somewhere on the forum of products that people like me (y'know, other skidmards 😉) genuinely like and think are good products.

Could someone direct me towards that thread please?

Hallo! Yes it is called 'Actually Honest'. In homage to our former leader SH obvs.

So many of of us here now. It is absolutely brilliant. Buying something SH recommended. Thought it was 'meh' at best or just tit but still thinking 'this must be my fault. I'm just not getting it but everyone else is'. So buy the next recommendation to see if things change.
All fed the mantra makeup is important and empowering. In Pretty Honest I was perusing earlier SH keeps using the term 'nerdy' re her interest in beauty. 'Now I might be a beauty nerd but...'. Now I think this is quite calculated. It implies something almost scientific and specialist. Quite niche. Justifying endless buying of 'stuff' because I'm a nerd. Makeup isn't trivial but very important and almost a science. Normalising 30 expensive lipsticks because 'I'm a beauty nerd. You wouldn't understand. And if you don't you just aren't as cool as me. But buy stuff and you might be!'.

I like makeup and wear it but ffs it isn't important. It just isn't.
I can't remember which column caused a fuss in the Guardian comments section about the triviality or otherwise of beauty (it may have been an early "special") but she was fuming on GTL. Must have been 2011/12 and it was the first time I'd seen her really go on about how an interest in beauty was not at all trivial and how important beauty was in so many ways and the strength women gained from it.

All the more galling that they didn't ask her to sign that open letter.

I'm still in awe that she thought a public whinge about not being asked was a good thing. The misplaced ego is hilarious.

Probably thought everyone would go "They DIDN'T ASK YOU, India? YOU?"

I'm heartbroken that she was disappointed. No, really. These are tears of sadness, not any other kind.

Oh dear I vaguely remember that. (2011/2012 were her peak Dawn bullying years as well aka 'years and years ago'). I'm interested in beauty as are most here but it seems bizarre to fetishise it and use it as an excuse to buy masses of stuff. In Pretty Honest she says 'I own thousands of beauty products'. Now that isn't the norm is it? If the products she recommends are so good why on earth do you need thousands of anything? Why so many duplicates? All adding to that pesky landfill she is so concerned about.
Of course you can have an interest and want to look better with makeup, of course. I do all the time. But her mantra is everything is better with makeup and to adhere to this makes you a strong woman. Slap on a red lip (especially a lipstick with smart packaging and a satisfying click 🤮 ) and you're good to go. But when you follow this and don't feel better but have just wasted a lot of money it just makes you feel a bit sad and that you've got it wrong. She's presenting a carefully curated image and lifestyle she wants us to buy into. Also known as an influencer.

Yes 'insecurities' is such a good word in this context. A lot of beauty preys on women's insecurities. Influencers like SH appear to be helping women - and then they point out something you didn't actually realise was a problem but hey! guess what! You can buy something for that! Or just get a 'tweakment!'
(But don't even mildly question this obviously or you are a troll).
agreed, this whole.industry reminds me of tbe absurd ads I keep seeing atm implying that "shapeware" is feminist

Does anyone remember the Wither Dafur years?

The same arguments always come out- that it’s sexist to say that women’s interests - like make up and skincare are trivial, because no-one is saying that about what the men are doing.
Football is also trivial, really trivial. Why can’t we just say that the lot of it is a bunch of shite?
Also, and I can’t believe I’m sticking up for football here, at least with a season ticket you’ve got a lot of outings, different things going on, experiences etc. Spending all your money on make up and skincare that serves the same purpose is rather baffling now I think about it.
Now I’m writing it all out I can’t believe I bought into the sexist argument at all.
It’s nice to look nice, and I do enjoy having a good skincare routine and makeup but yes it is frivolous and stupid to own 30 lipsticks that, on second glance, look exactly the bloomin’ same on.

IK or a minion has done a vast delete session - she's down to about 350 tweets. I got the gist from Google though. Oy.

This was a reply to one of her deleted tweets.

Yeah, that's what led me to search. I'm going to stick my neck out here and say these people are a little bit odd.
*oddface*

And please excuse me if I'm being extremely thick here but I thought whither meant where and SH wants to say something like "but what about Darfur?". Again, apologies if I'm being thick.

Morning, SideBeefs!

My favourite reply to IK hissy fit about not being invited to sign the Naga letter was from a black woman who told her to "sit down" due to the fact that she's mixed race and has had 3 white husbands. Priceless 👌

I find her (not friendship) but very public alliance with C"IMM"M odd for want of a better word. This Hyper Consumerist Performative Makeup Culture (thanks @litereally) is surely what CM sould be tearing apart. Not just wearing make up but the cultish side of it.

Love that Sali responds to Dolly by saying she’s written the same column in the past. I’m sure it bears repeating though. I’m sure it bears repeating though. I’m sure it bears repeating though.
