Currently Craving: Color Me Red



For most of my life, lipstick was about as interesting to me as the score of any major league football game. Not one to take much of a fancy to football, I could also care less about the subtleties behind the statement-making power of a bold, red lip or the confidence it instilled upon the person behind it. Of course, I always appreciated it on other women whom I saw sporting the hue, yet never actually considered wearing the color myself until recently. For me, red lipstick seemed to be a lot of trouble for something that at a moment's notice may just as well decide to turn on you, leaving you with the unforgivable, red gooey residue plastered across the forefront of your teeth, which might as well be a billboard advertising your cosmetic "newb-ness."

Cara Delevingne, The Man Repeller, and Lady Gaga: What They All Have in Common


Cara Delevingne The Key to Success is Being Yourself Leandra Medine The Man Repeller The Key to Success is Being Yourself Lady Gaga The Key to Success is Being Yourself

I came to thinking today about some of the big names right now in pop culture--you know, the people I and countless others sometimes live our lives vicariously through on Instagram-- people like Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller, the notoriously "bad-gal ri ri" (Rihanna), supermodel Cara Delevingne, costume queen Lady Gaga...and I couldn't help but wonder, what is it that makes someone interesting enough to garner such cult-like followings? I mean, after all, people are just people and have you seen the number of Instagram accounts dedicated to Delevingne?
