Red lipstick gives "woman" whereas a lot of the time the overall vibe of the wearer is "I'm just a girl". Clashing vibes. That one pic of Gio Scotti with red lipstick comes to mind. Gio Scotti is young enough to be gen alpha depending on your metrics.
Case in point from this post: "certain environments" "paler side" "ELEGANT" "dress code"
If you're a college-age female reader you might get better results through cute-maxxing or imjustagirl-maxxing unless you're someone with the right vibe already to pull it off
Unrelated to this Q&A, but your Mars Volta posts earlier found me at a coincidental time. I've become extremely hooked on their music lately (some of their output is genuinely insane) and am considering seeing them on tour in my city in just over a month. Do you know if their live shows are good/worth going to? I don't know anyone in my own life who's been.
They’re the best band I’ve ever seen live, but I saw them shortly after Bedlam came out. Not sure if they’re still as good now. A lot of lineup changes. But worth seeing regardless.
To the man who is questioning breaking up with the woman he had a situationship with, although I realize he might not see this comment, but I guess for anyone in a similar situation: There was an episode on The Minimalists podcast, in which a listener had called in asking how to let go of the nostalgia he still carried for a relationship he’d ended a year earlier. He said he often found himself replaying the good moments he’d had with his ex, and that this habit was affecting his ability to be fully present in new relationships. He admitted that the relationship had been toxic, yet he couldn’t help clinging to the good memories. Joshua, one of the hosts, called nostalgia “a 2-D picture of a 3-D past.” You never remember things in a perfectly complete and wholesome picture. I don’t recall the exact episode, but the advice they gave him was that even though we’re often told to focus only on the positive, in this case they encouraged him to remember all the things that hadn’t worked, all the reasons he chose to end it. Not in a cruel or bitter way, but as a grounding reminder of why the relationship could never have been healthy or sustainable.
Way of superior man is a great book. I should reread.
