I Tried Meme Makeup
Meme makeup, the art of recreating memes on one’s eyelid, is a new trend popping up everywhere. When I saw the first two, one of Kim Kardashian crying and the other of Kermit as Star Wars characters- I knew I had to attempt it myself. Ever the avid makeup challenger, I decided to try Dawson…
What the Literal Fuck? Models Have Sex in Eckhaus Latta Ad Campaign
Certain taboos seem outmoded- Free the damn nipple people, they’re baby bottles for Christ’s sake. Nudity?

Given anyone can blog and may not have any credentials- perhaps even little or no education on the topic itself- I think the writing speaks for itself.
