“The crafting of the face is a billion-dollar industry because there‘s actually only one truly acceptable face to create: that of “the girl.”” Sadly, I believe that. Even though I don‘t wear much makeup, I do use a variety of skin care products. I also take pride in not looking or acting my age. Does that mean in a decade or so I will be Madonna?
Jess7 I enjoyed this book!! 7y
Jess7 Which chapter was your favorite? I found the Serena Williams one very interesting. It was one of favorite ones! 7y
GhostGrrl I‘m enjoying the book, @Jess7 but I haven‘t finished it yet so I can‘t pick a favorite yet. I get the feeling I‘m a bit older than many of the #bookriotfeministbookclub so it‘s been intriguing hearing all the different points of view. One thing I‘ve noticed is that I find myself thinking “this behavior isn‘t new” though the names associated with it are. (edited) 7y
GhostGrrl One of the things that motivated me to join Litsy was my need for a place/space to record my reactions to and how I feel about what I‘m reading. That‘s especially true for books like this. I find good books make my think. I try to put what I read into the context of my experience. I just needed a place to record my explorations. Not sure I expected anyone to join me on the journey 😇 7y
