There is again a privilege element to this. It is a lot easier to leave the house with no makeup if you are having any or all of the following: regular facials, top shelf skincare, microbladed brows, eyelash dyed/extensions/lift, etc etc. And that’s before you get into any expensive tweakments.

Exactly, this is very much what has caused yhe current boom in mlm marketing whcih is effectively the same thing ij a more extreme way
Yes! That is the paradox of influencing. “Let me sell you this expensive thing you don’t need and can’t afford, that was given to me for free even though I can easily afford it.”
this is what pisses me off most tbh... choose yoyr stupid opinions and at least stick to them
Exactly. MLM marketing is another of my pet hates. It falls just short of being a Ponzi scheme by the fact that they have got some overpriced crappy product at the end of it. It appeals to those who are at home for whatever circumstances, and are in fact among the most vulnerable in society. Those who are recruited end up alienating their family and friends by pressurising themselves to buy the stuff. It's another case of those higher up the chain making a good living while those at the bottom are providing it for them.
Screenshot of her website biog from 2010 (WaybackMachine). I guess the 'novel' either was binned, or rewritten following publisher advice as the rather throwaway, long opinion piece 'Pretty Honest'.
I looked at assistant Lauren's instagram. In all of her selfies she's wearing the expression of someone who has just smelled a really rotten fart.
I think it said in the introduction to a Red chat that the novel was called "Falling and laughing". Is SH a major Orange Juice fan? She's probably a Postcard records completist too, has been for years .
"All the Velvet Underground records...on tape"
Which reminds me of this song which pops inyo my head whenever SH does her "I have long thought" or "used it for years".

I mentioned on an earlier thread that a few years I went to a panel discussion on aging at Selfridges with SH, India Knight, Caroline Hirons and Pearl Lowe. I can't remember the context but at one point SH said something along the lines of 'I wouldn't bother with make-up if it wasn't for men'.
The whole room seemed momentarily stunned into silence. The other panelists gave SH a 'really??' sort of look and she seemed a little embarrassed. It wasn't talked about and the discussion moved on.
Sounds like she had one of her occasional glitches.

I love this post so hard. I've been feeling this for ages, but it's not something you can state without being accused of betraying the sisterhood. I think the prevailing attitude of "whatever I choose to do is fEmINism so stfu" is both intellectually lazy and lazy in practice, as well as insulting to the original cause. Now get off my lawn
. Or is it 
She looks a lot like FeeBee does in pics. Same grimacing smile and pose for the camera
Yes! They seem to favour the same angle.
She has one expression
She looks absolutely miserable in every shot. Makes for a weird looking Instagram when it's a series of shots of a sulky looking woman wearing too much makeup
When SH says boastfully that she remembers the shampoo of her childhood and makeup she wore as a teen or whatever, as though it were a ... qualification, isn't that just normal? I mean, I remember all that stuff. The hideous smell of Revlon Flex shampoo, the mist in the morning light from my mother's generous use of VO5 hairspray, my nan's 4711 EDT (and the tic tacs perennially in her purse), the gold Bourjois eyeshadow I wore to my school formal, the Clairol Glint shade I used to dye my hair burgundy ... normal right? Not evidence of some special talent you were born with
Just to let you know there's a Sali Hughes page on the wiki if anybody ever wants to fill in with the important information so it's not lost and link back to threads - https://tattle.life/wiki/sali-hughes/
I actually like Lauren's look. Liquid eyeliner and no or nude lipstick is by default look if I wear make up (though not as thick a line for daytime now as it doesn't look good at my age). I like her hair. It's a fab colour and looks healthy and thick. She looked ace in a clip wearing a beret she has up. I also think she is a natural beauty.
Yeah it's like those crap facebook accounts IWhen SH says boastfully that she remembers the shampoo of her childhood and makeup she wore as a teen or whatever, as though it were a ... qualification, isn't that just normal?

80s. Lazy tit nostalgia. But people love itvand lap itbup because they can go " oh me too. We had that" and feel special and noticed. "We used to have Miss Matey...on tape".Meaningless tit to form a bond over. Whatbdoes Stewart Lee say? "Do you remember stuff? I remember stuff?"
