Laura Elizabeth Woollett’s ‘Unlikeable’ West-Coast Girls

Girlhood misery, bullying and beauty combine for Laura Elizabeth Woollett’s ‘unlikeable’ west-coast girls. With the post-menopausal generation reappraising what it means to be an older woman, the sheen of youth has become exposed. Women are told to fear the ageing process, but the truth is, I would not return to my teenage years, nor would any of the women I know. The worst part of growing older is watching the next generation go through it all again. Female bullying is central to Laura Elizabeth Woollett’s fourth book, West Girls, which aligns the misery of girlhood with the tyranny of conventional beauty. Weaving interconnected stories around a revolving cast of characters growing up in Western Australia, the novel cracks open the toxic power dynamics between a privileged huddle of “...

5 Hairstyles To Flatteringly Fit 5 Face Shapes

Bangs, in fact, are often key to a face-flattering hairstyle Everyone has a general face shape, and learning which hairstyles flatter facial contours is a professional’s priority. The Salon Professional Academy in Shorewood, Illinois, teaches - in its “Ultimate Face Shape Guide” - suggested cuts for specific facial types: 1. Oval: Forehead is wider than chin; long blunt cut with bangs. 2. Heart: Forehead and cheekbones are wider than chin, which tends to be very narrow; bangs or fringe on a shorter cut as well as a deep side part. 3. Square: Forehead and jawbone share similar widths; face-framing fringe and hair past shoulders. 4. Round: Prominent cheeks, and length and width of face are equal; longer layers. 5. Diamond: Cheekbones are wide, while chin and forehead are narrow; short ...

The Rise And Fall Of The Romance Writers Of America — The Inside Story

Inside the rise and fall of one of the world’s most powerful writing groups. The Romance Writers of America, once the world’s largest and most powerful authors’ association, filed for bankruptcy on May 30, 2024. In its filing, the nonprofit blamed “disputes concerning diversity, equity and inclusion” for its membership declining by a jaw-dropping 80%. With just 2,000 members left, the organization finds itself unable to pay US$3 million in hotel commitments for future conferences. I’ve spent a decade studying romance publishing, and I believe the rise and fall of the Romance Writers of America shows how quickly organizations can collapse if they don’t serve the needs of all their members. This debacle could serve as a warning to universities, companies and other groups now abolishi...

W.E.B. Du Bois’ ‘The Philadelphia Negro’ Offers Lasting Lessons On Gentrification In Philly’s Historically Black Neighborhoods, On Its 125th Anniversary

On its 125th anniversary, W.E.B. Du Bois’ ‘The Philadelphia Negro’ offers lasting lessons on gentrification in Philly’s historically Black neighborhoods. Society Hill, where Sixers star Joel Embiid recently put his penthouse condo on the market for US$5.5 million, has long been one of Philadelphia’s most exclusive neighborhoods. It’s a distant cry from what the neighborhood looked like 125 years ago when sociologist and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois published “The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study.” The book examines in meticulous detail the social conditions of thousands of Black Philadelphians living in what was then called the Seventh Ward, a neighborhood that overlaps present-day Society Hill. We are sociologists and scholars of Du Bois whose research covers gentrificat...

Makeup Tips And Tricks For Women Over 40

Don’t continue applying the same makeup techniques learned in middle and high school. Many women dread their over-40 birthdays due to aging effects evident in the bathroom mirror, but beauty experts placate with a plethora of makeup tricks. Birdie.com appealed to “boomers and beyond” women in June not to continue applying the same makeup techniques learned in middle and high school. The site shared gravity-defying, wrinkle-diminishing tips from a makeup artist who works specifically with women over 40: ‒ Apply, in an upward sweep, blush on the upper part of cheekbones. ‒ Fill in sparse areas of eyebrows, especially “tail” areas. ‒ Use lighter shades on eyelids and under the brow; use a medium or darker tone in the crease. ‒ Avoid matte and nude lipsticks; choose color and shine and...
