I'm so shaken by the news about Daul. I can't even put words together. Her blog was fantastic; she was such a ray of light. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.
with reference to the skin lightening stuff in India, while I agree that a lot of that ties into the Indian caste system, but a huge part of is tied in strongly with the concept of 'brown englishmen' etc #brangelinajewelry
@rd2uk: I don't know, I saw skin lightening lotions all over Asia. I think it's just used to be a marker of wealth/beauty, like how it used to be cool to be overweight and pale in the US if you were wealthy and you weren't working all the time.
A side note, my friend was absolutely shocked when we first came across lightening cream, because she was so used to pale being undesirable. #brangelinajewelry
@Heidi Lengdorfer: totally agree with both of you, just saying that in the case of india colonization plays a huuuuge role in people wanting to be lighter skinned/speaking english/wearig western clothes etc. obv theres loads of other factors that play into all of this, such as those that ya'll have mentioned. #brangelinajewelry
I'm sorry but those are some butt-ugly necklaces Angelina. They look like that weird Lord of the Rings themed jewelry section in SkyMall magazines. #brangelinajewelry
I couldn't fit into women's clothing until the age of maybe 13. It was awful. Now Stella McCartney is reversing the problem for me. BACK TO KID'S CLOTHES PLZ?? #nicolerichieclothingline

I just literally gasped "no!" in Starbucks.
I can't believe it.
