Kylie and the shine

Kylie Jenner was one of the celebrities seated front row at the Tom Ford show today at Paris Fashion Week and I’m not here to talk about the status of her relationship with Timothée Chalamet. They haven’t been seen together publicly in a while but they need to basically be scissoring every other day for the internet to believe they’re still a thing, even though they’ve demonstrated in the past that they can be very undercover when they want to be so I’m not sure what more there is to say about this and besides, I’m focusing on her skin right now. 

That oil all over her chest and arms. 

You know who comes to mind in these oil slick moments? Ugh. It’s Gwyneth Paltrow. 

Remember in 2009 when she was on The Tonight Show with CONAN O’BRIEN (!!!) and her legs were super, super shiny and it popped off on the internet? 

People could not stop talking about her leg lubing and cut to now, it’s an ordinary day on Instagram and TikTok. All the girls are all oiled up. Like Kylie today, no one’s stopping to remark on it because we’re all so used to it. I’m not used to it, and I don’t mean in how prevalent it is but in the fact that I just can’t do it. Sometimes I want the lube look on my legs and arms for television. But I haaaaaate the feeling of the product all over my body. There is no product that can achieve that level of shine without having it be slippery and transfer everywhere and it’s impossible for me. I don’t want to feel slippery or sticky or, gag, wet that way, I’m emotionally allergic to it. So I actually have great respect for people who can walk around in the world like this and be able to stand it. I would just want to scrub it all off in the shower to the point where I couldn’t concentrate.

What else happened today…

The best thing I can say about the new direction at Versace is that it’s underwhelming. The worst thing I can say is that it looks sloppy. (Go Fug Yourself)

Werner Herzog had to get a cellphone and when I found out why it made me so anxious about my parents because they have phones but I don’t think they know how to work an app other than YouTube and WhatsApp. (Pajiba)

These crazy ass words actually came out of Ted Cruz’s mouth, seriously. (The Mary Sue)

Duana will click on any articles about Irish people and their names, any names really, and twins, and parental drama over getting toddlers into fancy schools. I have more base instincts and one of my kinks is bridezillas. I am always here for a bridezilla story and The Cut just gave us a new piece about them. (The Cut)

The real actors are horrified by the AI actors – and with good reason. Also, the tweet in this article about how it’s a teenage girl is accurate and chilling. (Celebitchy)
