Annie Jones and herstory’s many badass bearded beauties Freak show performers were the original American celebrities, and bearded ladies occupied a high place in the freak hierarchy.
In the late nineteenth century, one of the most famous women in America was Annie Jones, known as a small child as The Infant Esau. When she died at the age of thirty-seven, she had never known any life but that of a freak show performer. P.T. Barnum had begun displaying her in his American museum when she was just twelve months old. Her talent? She had a beard. In the heyday of the American freak show, the hair that sprouted on the faces of a lucky few women (and sometimes children) gave them a chance at fame. Freak show performers were the original American celebrities, and bearded ladies occupied…

A history of the women’s power suit We size up the power suits—from classic to cutting edge—that have advanced us through the decades.
The woman’s power suit isn’t easy to define. What was once characterized by big shoulders and a boxy torso has evolved, so its essential quality is the ability to make a woman feel her most confident. Here, we size up the power suits—from classic to cutting edge—that have advanced us through the decades. Looking Dapper Call it a coup. In the 1920s, women threw out restrictive corsets to adopt a sporty dress code that reflected a new mobility. Coco Chanel designed jersey slacks and skirt suits that revolutionized fashion, while Hollywood legend Marlene Dietrich helped popularize the menswear-inspired style.

Men shouldn’t be afraid to wear makeup I’m a man who wears makeup, and no, I’m not ashamed of it.
Makeup isn’t just a woman’s game anymore. I say this because I’m a man who wears makeup, and no, I’m not ashamed of it. Thankfully, more and more men are beginning to use makeup as well, and as a result the stigma that beauty products are only for women are fading away. According a survey of 1,000 men in the US and UK conducted by JWT conducted in 2013, 10% of men admit to having concealer in their bathroom cabinet. In addition to that 10%, 54% admit to using facial moisturizer and wash each day. If you’re surprised, I would like to ask you to take a minute to ask…

Scary truths every woman should know about sleeping in makeup You're gonna wash your face after reading this...
I rarely wear makeup. Why? Well for starters I’m too lazy to make the effort on a daily basis and I actually kind of like my face just the way it is. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against people who do wear makeup. I actually think it’s really fun for special occasions. It’s just the every day make-upping i’m not into. Anyway, being too lazy to put makeup ON most days means I’m really bad about taking it OFF when I do wear it. Now everyone from my mom to Tyra Banks (yeah, I watched America’s Next Top Model back in the day) has told me that sleeping…

‘Anal botox’ is the new butt beauty trend we’ve all been waiting for Widespread anal sex also means a lot of loose bottoms. The gay world to the rescue: anal rejuvenation with botox!
Over the past few years, butts have become one of the most talked about body parts, even more than boobs (which is pretty shocking). Butt implants have been on the rise, thanks in part to the idea of having a Kim Kardashian butt (right insert) – you know, the perfectly round booty that pops out under a tiny waist and sits on thin, toned legs. People even began putting glitter on their butt earlier this year, which still confuses me, TBH. But out of all of the beauty “butt trends” that have been making the rounds, this one has got to be the most elaborate. It’s a medical procedure known as…

These brave women let their boyfriends do their makeup and OF COURSE it’s a disaster So excruciating to watch I now know what getting sprayed down by German machine guns in Normandy must have felt like.
They’ve spent hours waiting, watching us as we finished applying our make up before a big night out. But can our boyfriends recreate the look for us when our brushes, pencils and powders are handed over to them? These girls tried, and the results are just hilarious! How about you? Would you ever turn your look over to the boyfriend, and leave the house with resulting boyfriend-applied make up?

The “make me beautiful” photoshop experiment Esther Honig sent a picture of herself to 40 photoshoppers across the globe with one request: “Make me beautiful.” Check out the results.
Journalist Esther Honig wanted to examine how the standards of beauty vary across cultures. She sent a picture of herself—makeup free and hair pulled back– to 40 different graphic designers across the globe with only one request: “Make me beautiful.” What she received back blew her mind. (And mine.) Some of the pictures came back with minimal changes, what I think of as studio photo retouching. Like this image from Romania: Others were radically altered. This one is from the Philippines: What struck me is that some designers changed Honig’s features in ways I wouldn’t even think of, going to extremes like changing her eye color, removing collar bones, and…

5 ways to endure your horrible fashion job Only 48% of people in the fashion industry are content with their jobs. They obviously haven't read this.
On a scale of Subway Sweeper to Ice Cream Taster we’d probably pin our fashion jobs around the eight or nine mark, but it seems we’re in the minority. A new survey conducted by New York talent recruitment firm 24 Seven reveals that only 48 percent of those in the industry are content with their jobs — down from 51 percent last year. Apparently fashion workers are also less satisfied with their work-life balance. Only 14 percent of the 1,300 asked were “highly satisfied” with their jobs. The happiest hailed from luxury markets and the least fulfilled are slogging it out for high street brands. Surprise, surprise. BUT we are…

Most Americans are overweight and don’t see anything wrong with that. As weights have gone up, so have perceptions of being “ideal”, with the ideals getting fatter and fatter and fatter …. and people reporting themselves to be just dandy fine with the situation. Men’s average ideal weight is up 14 pounds since Gallup first measured it in 1990, and their average actual weight is up 16 pounds. Women’s average ideal weight is up 11 pounds since 1990, and their average actual weight is up 14 pounds. Basically, over the past two decades people have consistently said they wanted to lose about 10 to 15 pounds off their current weight…
