Links from the week.
– Jezebel continues its makeup by decade series with the '60s.
– "What kind of makeup am I gonna get to taste…" Here's a catchy, funny new song featuring the excellent Kathleen Hanna. (If you're a Le Tigre fan I think you'll like this.)
– One of my favorite blogs turns 9!
– In dubious beauty inventions this week we have spray-on nail polish and the threading face-lift.
– Enjoy this profile of Dick Page.
- A new article points out that luxury brand makeup is overpriced. In other news, water is wet.
– I really wish it would be acceptable for me to go to work with rainbow roots – what a fun way to cover up my greys.
– Here's a tutorial on the makeup of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.), via Two Nerdy History Girls.
– For God's sake, don't try this "trick", a.k.a. a fiery disaster waiting to happen. Just heat up your eyelash curler with a hairdryer, which I do every morning. Trust me, it's effective and much less dangerous.
– I don't even know what to make of this 12-year-old boy discussing women and makeup.
– LOL. I just hope they gave these women real makeovers afterwards.
– To those 1-minute videos showing various beauty trends throughout history: check and mate.
The random:
– Ooooh, another interview with Carrie. Also, I loved our wedding officiant but I'm dying of jealousy after seeing this.
I can't get enough lattes and cookie butter, so I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the latest offering from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (too bad there are no locations here). Your move, Starbucks.
– Speaking of coffee, I think this is one of the greatest ideas ever, naysayers be damned. I love the taste of coffee but I can't handle the caffeine, so this is right up my alley.
– Behold, Pulp Muppet.
– Bwahaha!!
How have you been this week?
