Hunting too Butch for Models, Go back to the Salon?

[Formaldehyde]

Doesn't make an honorable hobby though.

Nor does it make it "wildlife management", as this thread continues to be everything but what the real issue is here. L'Oreal apparently didn't think that a big game hunter made the proper spokesperson for a product which is still trying to distance itself from similarly needlessly killing animals for no valid reason. Who can really blame them except for those trying to rationalize a silly hobby.

L'Oreal reacting, probably wisely, to the ignorance of its market is exactly what we've been talking about since we tripped over "it's barbaric." Changing people's minds is hard and I think you're helping make my point for me.

As does this-

But you can share the labor. Surely you can slip away sometime?

Yea, you can probably get an evening out here and there, depending on the quality of your enclosures. It depends. You still aren't going on vacation.

Well alot of the urban poor don't really have a choice to go back, just because people chase dreams doesn't mean they succeed always. I agree it's nice to have options but calling sweatshops or low-pay prostitution opportunity is a bit dishonest, IMO (not saying you're doing that but you are at least a little bit).

I've been trying to meet you on your rural poor example, rather than give you a big "dafaq, there are urban poor." Yes, when people are forced off what they want to do that sucks donkey dong. You'll not find me mustering a defense of the Guilded Age pattern of industrialization. But we aren't really discussing industrialization apart from where you brought it up I think as a criticism of the examples of petty entrepreneurs and jobs that people do in an economy with tourism.

The gal still looks gorgeous, this is an empty and silly gesture but I don't think it's that sexist.

As for sexism, of course a makeup company is going to be anti-women, they're whole goal of existence is to make women feel unattractive without their products.

And that being unattractive is bad.

"Hey girls, are you unattractive? Don't worry about it, be useful instead! <ad for institute of learning / organization that helps the world, etc.>"

 

[Takhisis]

And how would that help them increase sales of make-up products?

 

[Narz]

No that wouldn't be for a makeup company but an actually decent organization.

 

[Takhisis]

But clearly decent people are not meant to be successful!

I don't really view ladies putting on makeup as any different than trimming your beard or getting a particular type of haircut that you think looks good on you.

I'm sure there are plenty of "decent" businesses.

The thing is, they're mostly in the List of Bankrupt/Default companies by year in Wikipedia.

You… mutilate your beard?

 

[bhsup]

Well I don't want one solid coating of hair from top of cheeks all the way to my belly button. yes, I trim my beard so it doesn't cover my lower neck.

A true warrior simply braids his beard.
