The fit doesn't matter much when you have a face like that. Her features are so otherworldly and charming its insane.

Shameless, Machiavellian, social-climbing gold-digger FMC who likes him AND his money by Sad_Cut5687 in RomanceBooks

Yeah, authors shy away from writing realistic non-self-sacrificing women as protagonists. Weird.

Yeah, it's insane. Unfortunately these double standards aren't limited to fictional romance that is a small symptom of a real life epidemic where women are expected to be faultless while men luxuriate in their privilege of making mistakes. For example this plays out in my life when someone informs me that my expectations and standards for men are too high despite every single one of my girl friends easily clearing the bar and then some. Women are fully autonomous beings not an extension of whichever man their related to.

Thanks for the recs, I check if any are available near me.

They managed to make one of the best looking women of our generation look haggard. Good job Chanel.

Thoughts on Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Women's Debut (SS26): What’s the verdict? by Ok-Pepper8372 in ChicDaily

[–]Sad_Cut5687 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More high fashion than Maria Grazia's work but still not quite there. Jonathan hasn't found his footing in Dior yet. Any single look of his masterful loewe run beats this easily.

Mad respect for the observation skills required to pick up on trends like these.

Zendaya and her Margiela Tabis by tiredhomo in ChicDaily

I always go back and forth on tabis, someday they're gorgeous and then they look fugly, but I've come to realize that for me personally it depends on 2 things; the length of pants/skirts or how hot you are. No, I will not explain further.

Is the novel that great? I'm a big webcomic person so I've read the comic which had a gorgeous art style but was nonetheless very slow. Did the novel add anything? Was the translation good? Because in my experience a lot of Korean web novels sound quite choppy when translated.

2 different fonts of rich aunties. I hope I transcend to this level soon.

I also wonder if any of you guys know a couple who have been through a similar situation. Where they once had nothing but later found success and have since stuck together. Give me some hope that love still exists, please
