A while back, I was interviewed for a Shondaland article about consumerism in the beauty industry, but most of my quotes didn’t make the final (wonderful) piece. Naturally, I figured I’d publish the rest of my unpublishable ramblings for you here!To be honest with you, though: I’ve had a weird couple weeks, and the articles I’ve been working on lately — on the ‘aesthetic realm’! on whether critiquing the beauty industry ‘tears women down’! on misplaced shame! on the difference between beauty and fashion! and beauty and art! on the beauty industry as a maladaptation to beauty culture!!! — feel too big for me to finish now and finish well.
