You've Got Lipstick on Your Chin

I write about beauty as an act of devotion, an art form, and a means of control. I ask painful questions about beautiful things and tender questions about ugly experiences. As I’ve written before, beauty is my favorite mythology. It is a love of my life, and a familiar one. I am not ‘conned’ by the industry of beauty. I am entertained by it, preoccupied by its promises, and its lies are bedtime stories to me.
