On the face of it this sounds like a very good idea, for the planet, for the climate, for slave labour for fast fashion and for the despots everywhere.

With the 2 May deadline bearing down, the 36-year-old last month rushed in some $400 worth of items from Shein - including stickers, T-shirts, sweatshirts, Mother's Days gifts and 20 tubes of liquid eyeliner.

A totally reasonable response.

Tbf, $800 was hardly "de minimis" anyway and was the highest threshold in the world. In the UK it's £135, so reducing it is not that big of a deal.

What does she apply it with? A JCB?

There's talk that we'll reduce it to next to nothing as well because of the likes of Shein.

Next year $800 may be worth £135.

A sharpie.

Probably has her own fleet of firefighting planes waterbombing her face every morning.

One of most inventive ways I’ve seen bukake described.

The only other way I could describe that face and (the bbc's) paragraph would require an episode of Ancient Aliens dedicated to it.

Ahh a scoobie-doo-beauty… she would be quite beautiful if it wasn’t for that pesky makeup.*


* not my type but she doesn’t seem to hit every branch falling out the ugly tree.

Must be a quiet news day, huh?

I don't think she looks that bad. But then I do like heavy eyeliner/shadow
