Cancer tattoos are ideal tattoo designs on your breast if you are born between 22nd June and 22nd July. Your horoscope would look like a crab if you are born between those dates. But tattoos are permanent art on your body, so it may be wise to understand a little about Cancer tattoos and what the astrological sign means before you ink them. Crabs live in nutrient rich oceans where tides rise and fall twice every day. This change in terrain and temperature has caused the crabs to develop a hard outer shell for protection. This has become a very distinct characteristic of Cancer. Cancer can use the hard outer shell of their home as their protection and hold their feelings quietly behind your own walls. But the Cancerian is not totally unsociable, there is a time to them to socialize and a t...

Here’s the skinny on what Rihanna’s cooking up for Fenty Beauty and her return to fashion: 1. Fenty Beauty’s Next Big Drop • Launch window: Word is you’ll see the “Summer Solstice” Glow Palette land online and in Sephora mid-July 2025—right when festival season kicks into high gear. • What’s inside: Four ultra-reflective highlighter shades (from sultry bronze to icy rose), two creamy blush-highlighter sticks and a mini “Hydra-Mist” setting spray formulated to keep skin dewy in heat and humidity. • The vibe: Packaging will lean into iridescent pastels—think pearly lavender compacts with holographic FENTY embossing—so it feels as collectible as it is functional. 2. Fenty Fashion’s Comeback • Official runway: Rihanna’s slated to unveil her first post-LVMH ready-to-wear collection at P...

Have you noticed a dazzling sparkle creeping its way into the Indian fashion scene? It’s not sequins, it’s not glitter, it’s something a little more…reflective. We’re talking about tiny mirrors, strategically placed to catch the light and add a dynamic, folksy charm to everything from everyday kurtis to high-end couture. This isn't just a fleeting trend; it's a vibrant resurgence of a traditional craft, making a serious statement in the modern world of fashion. For centuries, mirror work, also known as shisha embroidery, has been an integral part of Indian textile traditions, particularly in regions like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Haryana. Historically, these gleaming embellishments weren't just for show. Some believe they were used to ward off the evil eye, reflecting negativity away from t...

Okay, let's be real. We've all been scrolling through Instagram or TikTok lately and seen some seriously bright, colorful, and just plain fun nail designs popping up. We're not talking about your classic French manicure or even a sophisticated nude. We're talking bold hues, playful patterns, and generally nails that scream "good vibes." This, my friends, is the "Dopamine Nail" trend, and it's taking the beauty world by storm. But is it just a catchy name, or is there actually some science (or at least, some feeling) behind it? So, what exactly are Dopamine Nails? In essence, they're manicures designed to spark joy. Think vibrant colors like sunshine yellow, electric blue, hot pink, and lime green. Not afraid of a little extra? Patterns are your friend! Checkerboard designs, abstract swirl...

Blonde stereotypes are stereotypes of blonde-haired people. Sub-types of this stereotype include the "blonde bombshell" and the "dumb blonde". Blondes have historically been portrayed as physically attractive, though often perceived as less intelligent compared to their brunette counterparts. There are many blonde jokes made on these premises. However, research has shown that blonde women are not less intelligent than women with other hair colors. The blonde bombshell is one of the most notable and consistently popular female character types in cinema. Many Hollywood celebrities have used it to their advantage, including Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Brigitte Bardot and Mamie Van Doren. There are several aspects to the stereotypical perception ...

Lessons from the fashion industry: Why some DEI efforts fail to resonate with consumers. United States President Donald Trump and his administration have set their sights on the “tyranny of so-called diversity, equity and inclusion policies,” firing federal staff and purging public institutions like the Smithsonian of their commitments to racial history. Although many of Trump’s executive orders have focused on the federal government, some firms and private businesses have followed suit, rolling back their own commitments to DEI. For example, META and Amazon cut back their DEI efforts while some major retailers have severed ties with Black-owned businesses. Figures located within the fashion and beauty industry have also floundered in their commitments to DEI, investing in brief and u...

Fake models for fast fashion? What AI clones mean for our jobs — and our identities. In the heart of New York City’s Times Square, there are signs of an artificial intelligence (AI) revolution in marketing. In a health supplement store, a popup by British tech startup, Hypervsn, showcases life-size holograms. From behind the glass, a virtual humanoid avatar with spunky pink hair waves to passersby. Down the street, H&M — the Swedish fast-fashion giant — offers a new kind of immersive shopping experience. The flagship store showcases a room covered in mirrors equipped with virtual environments, encouraging shoppers to make social media content while they try on merchandise. And last month, H&M made waves with its newest AI venture: cloning 30 real-life models using “digital twi...
