BareMinerals Wants You To Run For Fraternity Boys’ Viewing Pleasure Because You’re ‘Beautiful When You Sweat’

BareMinerals Wants You To Run For Fraternity Boys' Viewing Pleasure Because You're 'Beautiful When You Sweat'

This kind of obnoxious campaign doesn’t encourage anybody; it just tells us that we should don our hair and makeup according to what dudes like. Look, if I want to wear red lipstick to go running (and I most certainly have), then I will, and it won’t be because I want to look “cute” in my adorbz wittle lady wunning gear. More »

I’m Not Mad That Gwyneth Paltrow Is Selling Bikinis For Children — Just At These Creepy Advertisements

I'm Not Mad That Gwyneth Paltrow Is Selling Bikinis For Children -- Just At These Creepy Advertisements

We make fun of Gwyneth Paltrow a lot here at The Gloss, but that’s typically just us poking at her ridiculously out-of-touch attitude toward money, food and the world at large.

Hey fellas! Would you like to be funny not in the next life, and not in the one after that, but in your own lifetime? Look no further than this book of jokes and anecdotes that I found at a thrift store over the weekend, which was published by Playboy Press in 1973. Of especial interest to the amorously minded man is the chapter titled “Wit, Whimsy and Women,” which is simply brimming with rapey excellent advice on what to say to a woman with whom you’d like to “score.” Basically, you should pretend like you’re a pedophile and you’ve mistaken her for a child, because “every girl, no matter how young she is, likes to think she looks younger than she really is.” Here are some of my favorite lines from said chapter.
