Thank you for tearing this latest body beautiful sickness to shreds. I was wondering when the beauty industry would get here since aging baby boomers represent a HUGE cash cow if they can just find the right hook. Sorry if I sound cynical, but I spent a good portion of my youth torturing myself (eating disorders, addiction to exercise, alcoholism - I had it bad) over my looks, trying to look like the latest image the marketers fed us. I never dreamed that my real beauty lay within. What a waste of talent, creativity, and life! I wish I could take my younger self in my arms and say you are GORGEOUS as you are. Now go out and do what you love and show others how to do the same.
Anyway, I have a whole other issue with Paulina as a spokesperson for Geller\\u2019s ad campaign, which is clearly trying to draw in mature women\\u2014mature being the over-40 crowd\\u2014by emphasizing aging\\u2019s positive aspects. What does #LetsGetOldTogether imply That there\\u2019s a community of us who might support each other as we clamber up the steep, rocky track to Nowhere (as the late Jan Morris so vividly put it); that we know, or at least intuit, that this journey isn\\u2019t easy; and that there is solace in the knowledge that we are not alone in it. That message is a seductive one and it would be lovely if the hashtag\\u2019s promise were fulfilled. But how could it be when the spokesperson, though she happens to be the ripe old age of 56, also happens to be the embodiment of beauty culture\\u2019s toxic and distorted ideal\\u2014tall, thin, exceptionally fit, and fair with wide blue eyes and long fine hair\\u2014representing, therefore, an unattainable goal for most of us
\\u2026is that aging, for women, is a competition (especially with ourselves)\\u2014and if we want to succeed at it, we\\u2019d better do it well. At least as well as Halle and Salma, who are so privileged, financially and otherwise, that the idea of competing with them is almost sadistically unfair. The fact is, for most of us, going through menopause is the opposite of sexy. How was yours Care to repeat it in a corset and stilettos I no more desire to embrace my slightly brittle bones than you do. And the moment you try to love every second of your life, I guarantee you\\u2019ll find yourself in a cascade of seconds depreciating in pleasure. In other words, this #LetsGetOldTogether message is a warm invitation\\u2014to feel like a failure. As a brilliant young friend commented, the campaign doesn\\u2019t seem interested in redefining what it means to be aging; it seems to be interested in asserting that mature women can be hot\\u2014so what\\u2019s your excuse if you\\u2019re not
If you watch the video, you might also notice Paulina is never in the company of another mature squab. Instead, she\\u2019s ogled by young women at the pool and at the gym, where she outlasts her younger, sweatier, and less attractive fitness aficionados. The older women (and many of the younger ones) I know long ago eschewed that kind of competition. Most of my 50+ friends would find both situations laughable: Tossing our hair as we stride around a pool in a string bikini What The last time I competed with a 40-year-old at the gym, I fucked up my hip so bad I was six weeks in physical therapy. And I was in fine shape. Lesson learned.
I recognize Geller\\u2019s good intentions. (And I love her makeup.) I believe she would like all of us to be happier as we mature. @lauragellerbeauty features many ordinary-looking older women and some of the messaging is more benign. But the problem is that you can\\u2019t appoint someone who appears to have largely avoided the aesthetic snags of aging as a role model for people who are seeing those snags in themselves and probably not loving them. It\\u2019s dishonest messaging. Paulina\\u2014and other aesthetically-gifted women (by certain standards) like her\\u2014still evokes an unattainable beauty standard we\\u2019re all accustomed to, no matter what she tells us about how tough it is to feel invisible. As the shrewd entrepreneur Stewy said in a recent Succession episode, \\u201CIf you jump out on someone on the road in the middle of the night, hit them on the head, and shout, \\u2018I\\u2019m not ambushing you,\\u2019 it\\u2019s still a fuckin\\u2019 ambush.\\u201D
Don\\u2019t be shy! What\\u2019s your most vexing or intractable appearance issue Send your beauty-related questions to valeriemonroe@substack.com. If I don\\u2019t have a good answer, I\\u2019ll find someone who does.
Making its grand entrance down the cosmetics aisle, please put your hands together for: Primer! It seems primer, dear reader, is what may be missing from your makeup routine. How do I know I asked one of the most widely-known (and loveliest) makeup artists of all time, Pati Dubroff.
Speaking of not getting a cut of sales, I wouldn't mind if you did if it's something you like and use. I'm out of the loop and I appreciate recommendations. I want the Hermes lotion you linked to a couple posts back. (I love a fragranced lotion instead of a traditional perfume). I told my husband it's 75 dollars and just a little luxury item and he said my entire life is a luxury item. I haven't bought the lotion yet but I loved his comment and I laughed because I do have a luxurious and charmed life. It may not be luxurious in the traditional sense ( I'm a registered nurse with a lower to middle class income) but I'm feeling like gold!
\\u201COne of the best routes to even tone is to use a blurring or matte primer before applying foundation,\\u201D Pati says. \\u201CIt acts as a barrier to the foundation seeping into pores and fine lines.\\u201D And why wouldn\\u2019t iconic makeup artist Laura Geller completely agree, as she sells an excellent primer that moisturizes and, like all good primers, ensures that foundation stays put without emphasizing wrinkles. As for choosing a foundation, Pati advises, \\u201CFor mature skin, I like to use a buildable liquid or creamy formula.\\u201D Drier formulas can accentuate any kind of texture on the skin\\u2014and not in a good way. Laura, chiming in in case you happen to love a powder, adds that her powder foundation, which starts out as a cream before it\\u2019s magically baked into powder form, is more hydrating than pressed powders.
Pati offers a couple of bonus hints for good measure: Avoid a primer promising radiance, as that radiance is likely delivered as sparkle, which\\u2026need we say more And Pati loves a little extra moisture tapped lightly with the fingertips on the cheekbones\\u2014no swiping!\\u2014on top of foundation.
\"I've never had a male friend like I have with Tom...Mature love doesn't mean you have to be mature all the time -- we definitely have our immature moments,\" she continued. \"But when disagreements come up, we're able to talk in a way tha's not attacking, and we'll still love one another.\"
I am so incredibly excited to announce my commitment to Saint Mary's College of California! I am so blessed to be going to Saint Mary's, and this opportunity as well as all of the experiences yet to come would not be possible without the love and support I have received along the way. First of all. thank you to Coach Travis and Coach Tina for giving me the chance to come to a beautiful school and be a part of a high-level program full of girls who share my passion. Thank you so much to my parents, who sacrificed countless hours to make the long drive to practice all the way in Sacramento as I pursued my dream of becoming a D1 college athlete. A special thank you to my mom, my best friend, for always reminding me through my failures and successes of her love and support for me. My dad deserves a dual thank you, as he was my first soccer coach and continued to coach me until freshman year when he passed me on to Tony Perez, my first ECNL coach. Tony was my coach for a year until I tore my ACL, he was the coach that gave me my first big shot. Coach Tony impacted me as both a soccer player and a person in more ways than you can imagine. Without his constructive criticism, patience, and faith in my abilities, I don't believe I would be where I am today. Also, thank you to Coach Erin for helping me along the way from the beginning of my recruiting process, and helping me to learn how to communicate with coaches in a mature and responsible way. I cannot wait to be off to college, doing what I love, and making memories that will last a lifetime. All of these people have made it possible, and I couldn't be more grateful!
Holly Anne Tyler (portrayed by Amanda Bynes) is an unpredictable, somewhat in-your-face teenage girl who is high-spirited and spunky and has a tendency to impulsively do whatever pops into her head, regardless of the consequences. She unwittingly and unintentionally causes chaos despite usually having good intentions, but gradually becomes more mature as the series progressed. At the beginning of the series, Holly's father accepts a job in Japan, but agrees to allow Holly to stay with her older, more sophisticated, sister Val. Due to their contrasting personalities, she manages to turn Val's neat and orderly life upside down and inside out from the moment she first moves into her sister's apartment. The sisters manage to resolve their differences in order to live together and Holly becomes very dependent on Val to offer advice and to help her out of trouble.
Holly goes through several romantic relationships throughout the series. She dates her first love, Henry Gibson, for nearly a year, but her feelings for Vince complicates matters and the two break up. Although, after the breakup, Holly begins to question whether she made the right decision to break up with Henry so soon. She fluctuates between both Henry and Vince, never fully committing to either of them while maintaining feelings for both just as she leaves on a summer internship to Paris. While the three decide to wait until Holly returns from Paris before she chooses who she wants to be with, she unexpectedly returns from Europe with Ben, a British musician, as her new boyfriend under the mistaken impression that both Vince and Henry have moved on. She remains with Ben for six months until she accidentally responds to Ben's comment of loving her with \"I love you, Vince.\" Realizing that she loves Vince, Holly and Ben break up. 59ce067264
