This is an exempt from an article on ‘White Male Privilege’ by Peggy McIntosh [highlights by me]

These are just a few of the bullet pointed safeguards that she lists in her essay on the privilege (we) white males are afforded.

While I work to challenge inequality, I still benefit from it and that cannot be denied.

YES.

Makeover Magic

For our second Beauty Bar interactive we have Nyasha at Marilyn. Check out Milk Made to drag the grey bar and see her transformation before and after the Richard Chai show!

Okay, note to self, don’t ever start your day off with tumblr unless you want a big hot mug full of “the fuck?!” to be your new morning mantra.

I saw this and I said to myself, “no, that’s not the same girl. Nah, they wouldn’t make her blatantly lighters as some form of beautification. That’d be way too over the line.” So I clicked the tumblr, found the website and the interactive version of this thing, right here. Go ahead, drag the bar… Now tell me what they did that doesn’t include making her lighter, giving her lipstick, and combing her straightened hair?

Here is the description next to the interactive version:

“Photographer Greg Kessler captures the model-morphoses of New York Fashion Week. Here, the modelNyasha @Marilyn before (right) and after (left) is transformed at Richard Chai, with makeup by James Kaliardos and hair by Tippi Shorter for Avon Techniques. (Drag the grey bar horizontally to reveal the full makeover magic.)”

Jame Kaliardos and I need to have a fucking talk, then.

Is this not blatant fuckery or am I trippin’? Maybe it’s the lighting, Demi. It’s just a lighting difference. 

Nah, fuck that. And if you ask me her nose looks photoshopped smaller too.

Good morning to you too, tumblr.

no. this is blatant racist shadist fuckey.

…the fuck?

The site has a ‘comments section’ and the commenters all seem to agree.

• “soo you made her skin lighter? sad.”
  
• “she looks better withuot her skin tone “improved”. stupid fashion industry.”
• “WAY TO WHITEWASH HER. her dark beautiful skin doesn’t need your “transformation”.
  
• “You’re basically promoting an ideology that’s blatantly saying that women with lighter skin are more beautiful?”

Somebody is going to get in trouble for this hot mess, you mark my words.

lol wow

also maybe it’s just the slightly different angle of her head [??] but her eyelids look larger and her nose looks smaller… photoshop?! that’s cheating.
