Japan’s SPA magazine recently published an article called “The Ultimate Form Of Slob,” about the masculinization of women, which appears to be manifesting itself in female “slob” behaviors. This includes slacking on cleanliness in homes, refusing to maintain hairless bodies, and wait for it … wearing diapers to avoid having to take bathroom breaks at […]
The best beauty advice is to work with what yo’ momma gave ya. But if yo’ momma is Asian, it’s a little harder to apply eyeliner without looking like your entire lid is covered in black kohl. With the right eyeshadow, liner, and application, you can turn a smudged eye into a cat eye in […]
