Beauty Is More Than Skin Deep

Tasi Zuriack | Mar 5, 2018 | Reply

Our Fashion Maven Tasi Zuriack veers aways, somewhat, from fashion in today’s post and takes a look at beauty and what women strive for in creating their “look.” We may see women we feel are over painted or gaudily attired but they did their makeup that way or chose those clothes for a reason. Perhaps one that they’re not even consciously aware of. Tasi writes about how makeup artist Ellen Malone approaches makeovers on folks who have a fixed idea of what is attractive when it isn’t. Tasi and Ms. Malone remind us that Beauty is More Than Skin Deep.

Today The Artist D looks at the price of fashion and beauty. Not how much it costs in dollars to look fabulous. She’s talking about the work you need to do in order to walk out that door drop-dead gorgeous. So many people seem to think that it’s okay to go out in flip flops and a torn t-shirt.

The “IZE” Have It

Nikki Nicole joins us with a commentary on how we girls are always “izing.” As in moisturizing, accessorizing, and making attempts at minimizing. Does it make us slaves to the industries that have been built selling beauty products and fashion fripperies? Or does the care that we take succeed in maximizing our realness and legitimizing us as women? See what Nikki has to say.

Baby Ugly

The Artist D | Mar 11, 2013 | Reply

Don’t ask The Artist D what’s the “in” look is for this season. She doesn’t give a damn. She has her own style and it just comes naturally without any adherence to fashion rules or attention to fashion does and don’ts. How about freakish looking surgical enhancements? She has an opinion on that too. Find out in “Baby Ugly.”
