Dear Beauty Industrial Complex: Take Your LATISSE and Shove It.

Love / Shove post by Kelsey Wallace on July 24, 2009 - 11:38am; tagged beauty products, beauty standards, Brooke Shields, contraindications, cosmetics, eyelashes, feminism, Latisse, prescription drugs, side effects.
Dear Women,

We realize that we're already making you feel bad about your hair, breasts, lips, butt, legs, and overall body type, but our work is far from over. We would now like to introduce you to a new, hopefully self-esteem-lowering, chock-full-o-side-effects cosmetic designed to make you feel like your F*ING EYELASHES aren't good enough. Please watch the following video, feel the requisite amount of inadequacy, ignore the dangers, and write your doctor a big fat check for some LATISSE today.

Sincerely, Your Beloved Beauty Industrial Complex
