Sali Hughes #60 I will put you in a folder

[Pavlova&Cream]

Irate deputy head of department on her third fucking gate duty of the week... or pampered beauty influencer?

Sorry for barging in like Sali on her way up to a stage to collect an award but today I went for my first eye test. I tried on a bunch of glasses. There was one pair I sort of liked. I looked at the arm to see what they were so I could buy them cheaper online…..

Old Sustainability Sali is back!

I feel like a Pets at Home Hamster every time she does that.

I have a friend of 30 years who I’ve seen through all kinds of shit and she to me too. She’s funny, very clever, quick with a pun and excellent at selecting gifts for you when you’re in the midst of grief/horror/broken limbs.

there is no way on this planet, I would ever tell her she needed to pluck her chin. Ffs, are we not more than bloody chin hairs to each other? She could have a full fucking beard for all I care.

I’ve never categorised women by whether they’d shag my husband either on the basis I tend to think he wouldnt shag them. That’s why we’re married.

Honest to god, I’ve just had to check the calendar and make sure it’s not 1995 and we all think Bridget jones is fat because she’s 9 stone.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I'm sorry but I honestly feel that categorizing women as 'girls girls who wouldn't shag your husband' and 'girls who would' is a form of misogyny

 

[FINIFUS]

Sorry this is a late response to the "Peter Sutcliffe" thing - I've been catching up with the thread. It makes me furious, really furious to see what her misogynistic bastard of a kind-eyed partner thinks is funny. I was in my late teens, living in Bradford, when Sutcliffe was butchering women in West Yorkshire. It was a terrifying time for all women. It prevented us living normally (my dad had to come pick me up from my evening job every night I worked). Women daren't let a guy they'd met at a club walk them home. We could see the police tape from one of the killings from the window of my classroom at Bradford College, where I was on day release. The infamous "I'm Jack" recording was played continuously in the shopping centre. It blighted many women's lives, beyond the actual victims and their families.

What a cunt.

 

[MakkaPakka]

That's Jean from Crawley in a folder then.

 

[Jelly Bean]

And why does every product 'for menopausal skin' seem to cost at least £10 more than other moisturisers within that range?
It's like the companies have cynically worked out older women are supposed to have more money and will happily spend it on something with a vaguely medical slant.
Every aspect of women's lives and appearances is ripe for making them feel insecure, commercialising and taking money off them.

 

[Raindropsonkittens]

Being small, Welsh & uneducated may have put a chip on your shoulder Sali, but it doesn’t mean you understand what it’s like to be black.

 

[GossipMongoose]

That is some aggressive ironing!

I love that she thinks she is a woman in STEM for attending a PowerPoint presentation at a cosmetics marketing conference.

(edited- for some reason I wrote ‘in a STEM’, like a beef faced fule)

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Sali likes to view people through a 90s Cosmopolitan magazine fairytale. There's the girls girls who'll save you from yourself (where are her girls), who'll take you aside when you've got a chin hair and quietly hand you tweezers and then the predatory female friend who only has eyes for men who are taken (remember the 'dog whistle friend')

It's reductive misogynistic nonsense

 

[Aude]

Old dress, new mouth?

 

[MissHavisham]

Imagine if one of her pals said 'Sal, we need to talk about your hair, babe'.

She'd turn them to stone with one ferocious hard stare!

 

[Aude]

An article in The Telegraph yesterday about 'perception drift' - when people have too many cosmetic procedures and lose perspective about their looks. This is one of the BTL comments:

 

[Sideboard Bob]

The thing is, a lot of us (women in general) already have a loud inner critic, and society, the media etc, making us feel badly about our appearance, “a friend” to add to all that is so not needed.

 

[Foxvint]

Whoever called it that Jess Phillips would be 1 of her girl crushes- she's on her latest Beyond the Bathroom episode. You win an elegant blend of acids, some oversize Dahmer glasses, and a deep lurch into a camera.

 

[Jelly Bean]

The more I think about it the worse it seems Sali effectively doxxed someone who is private. The girl who did the graffiti in the toilets aged about 12. Sali gave the name of the school and the girl's name (quite unusual - won't put it here), and went on to laugh at her and say there was a photo of her on FB putting her 'left tit into a pint glass'.
The girl did that graffiti when she was about 12 and Sali thinks it OK to dredge this up now. She is such a hypocrite. Long rants about here invading her privacy then doxx a private individual for giggles. Spiteful twat.

 

[Foxvint]

Oh beefies, lemme tell you I ran here when I saw her bottle of stir fri sauce bunged in with her cashmere sweater and VB makeup. A woman so in love with her own image of luxe living that she thinks her very seasoning choices are noteworthy and aspirational.

 

[HotesTilaire]

I’m waiting for the book she writes ten years from now
“Sali Hughes -my influencer hell: I paid“
I’ve always written about subjects other than beauty, but it was The Guardian Beauty Editor role which people best knew me from, rather than my journalist/feminist website The Pool, or my charity, Beauty Banks. Soon, the only work I was able to take was as a beauty influencer, I could brook no more countenance, and with it came the troles, the #press treatments and the silk pyjamas…

 

[ThisIsMyDragName]

I have excess facial hair, it’s part of a medical condition. It’s not always easy to be free of chin hairs. I’m massively self conscious about it. It’s not something I’ve even really discussed with my friends but I don’t need to? They’re my friends. They don’t love me because they believe I am hair-free on my face and therefore the presence of some stray hairs should not change their opinion of me.

Wait till she finally admits she is no longer ‘not there yet’ but is actually ‘there’, then see how she likes it…
