I just love Uncle Leo SO much! “Are you ashamed of your uncle? Do I embarrass you?… Haven’t I always been a good uncle?… Who told you when you went to school that you print well?… When he was younger, he had a beautiful penmanship. I used to encourage him to print… I remember your ‘V.’ It was like a perfect triangle. Whoa, there’s my bus!”
One correction. Africa isn't a country. Hopefully it was a typo, but you'd be surprised at how many people talk about the continent like it is one big country. It irks my soul.
Thank you for this.
Well said as did many other posts. When I start to feel that riri fatigue again I'll remember its for a good cause. While praying we never have to endure her again or a doggone waiting room!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Uncle Leo is classic!! Unfortunately there are ladies walking around out here with eyebrows like that and that episode is exactly what I think of!
I've been wearing MAC since 1996. I don't ever remember it being this crazy. Most of the hottest colors debut as limited edition. I hate their marketing plan. I don't like being denied lipsticks because I'm the 15 person in line the day a collection rolls out. $&@%
It was a typo. I meant countries IN Africa. I was typing it one-handed, left-handed (and i'm right-handed) as my right hand is in a brace. I can't focus
I fixed it.Oh I WISH I could have been old enough to enjoy 90's MAC! I didn't get into MAC, and makeup in general, until college (early 2000's). But I bet 90's MAC was awesome!
I don't see RuPaul's ad as being over the top or even vulgar. A grown man in lingerie doesn't bother me and to be honest I feel like it's a break from women always being in their underwear in ads. I don't put that on the same level as drug use, even if the drug in question is marijuana. It's funny how we shield kids from sex or the suggestion of it, but the violence and drugs-meh, OK. I'd say there are celebrities out there who are more reckless than Rihanna, from what we can see and so I wouldn't consider her the poster child for irresponsible choices. However, a large majority of her audience consists of impressionable young folks who hold her up as their OK to get baked and to not have a filter on their already sassy mouths. Also, saying that others have done worse doesn't exactly make anyone else's behavior OK. No offense intended and we can get back to the makeup, but I couldn't keep quiet on this. I'm not a saint, but I've never used a single drug and I try to have some decorum at all times. If Rihanna is your style then go for it. She's a polarizing figure in pop culture and there's just no way around that.
Yeah I've been wearing since '96 as well. People keep talking about how quickly her collections have sold out, but I wonder how much was even produced. It skews the numbers a little when everything is treated so exclusively and and we are talking about a very limited number of items, relatively speaking. That's it- I'm producing my own VG collection for 2014 with Uncle Leo as the spokesperson, even post mortem I think he would be a better VG advocate. Strangely, I think RiRi would approve.
I will never forget one year when I was living in Santa Cruz there was a girl who I *think* fancied herself an as yet undiscovered model- she had completely shaved her evebrows off and drawn them back on 2+ inches higher. I myself fancy a Barbara Steele brow, but this was some serious Wut Wut.
No offense taken! I'm not so critical of stuff like this because I'm young maybe (24)? I don't find much harm in Rihanna or RuPaul or their images lol. I just don't understand what makes her so inappropriate after RuPaul's ad. It may not have been over the top to you but I'm not ready to start seeing men in lingerie ads LOL. After that thought.......Yes. back to the makeup!! Lmao
LOL that is so weird for Santa Cruz!!! Everyone seems to have to ocean vibe..sandals jeans t shirt. I hardly see full beat faces there. Then again horrible eyebrows seem to be world wide lol. I hate the new (I think it's new?) over drawn look. Too long in center and too thick. At least thick brows are in again though I guess. I remember everyone had skinny eyebrows for the longest! As for role models and ALL that. If I had a daughter would I want her to idolize riri? Nah. But honestly I think it has A LOT to do with parenting. I see a lot of moms who don't care about things when their kid is small but when they turn into a teenager suddenly want to try and parent. Like no you have to start while they are young. Obviously children are impressionable but a lot can be blocked out, or discussed. I think the majority of my friends expose their children to things too soon. But that's just my two cents. We're all different and have different views. That's what makes the world great. (Though there are plenty exceptions lol)
Edit: I'm not even sure I got a point across as I should be asleep. And I am sleep deprived haha
