Why I’m Convinced Hamilton Is Actually Named After Eliza

Off 3

Eliza Completely Embodies The Intentions Of Hamilton

To round out my point, Eliza Hamilton has a place in the title more than any other character (including Alexander) because she embodies the story Lin-Manuel Miranda is looking to tell within the framework of his hip-hop musical. In Hamilton, the playwright cleverly used actors of different backgrounds than the actual Founding Fathers to add a contemporary take on their vision at a time when they were underdogs in America. However, this cannot mask these characters actually being white men of privilege who have been glorified for centuries since. More intensely than Alexander’s status as an immigrant and orphan were the struggles of women at the time, especially for Eliza, one who lost her child and husband, who would have provided her with the money she needed to survive.

Best Anastasia Beverly Hills Products 2020 Reviews

Off 2

Eyebrows have become a fixation in the past few years, but they weren’t always acknowledged as something that can make a profound difference in your look. Then along came Anastasia Soare. The “queen of eyebrows” and founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills got her start shaping brows at her Beverly Hills salon in 1997, and revolutionized the industry with her Golden Ratio shaping method. Three years later, she launched one of the first comprehensive brow lines, and in 2014 turned it into a full color cosmetics line. 

The brand quickly became an influencer favorite thanks to its mix of cutting-edge colors and classic glamour. And now, it’s one of the top-selling brands at Ulta and Sephora—which is probably why our beauty editors are constantly being asked if the line is worth it. The short answer? Yes, especially when it comes to the brow products. But there’s also a lot else to love, too.

We had Glamour editors—ranging from makeup fanatics to those who prefer a more low-key vibe—put the entire line to the test. Read on for the Anastasia Beverly Hills products that are truly worth the money. Get ready to add to cart.

Chrissy Teigen and More Celebs Join Goya Boycott After CEO Praises Donald Trump

Off 2

Chrissy Teigen is the latest to join the Goya boycott after its CEO praised President Trump.

On July 9, Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue gave a speech at the White House to announce plans to donate one million pounds of food to food banks across the U.S. in honor of Trump signing the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative executive order. However, he faced swift backlash for saying “we’re all truly blessed to have a leader like President Trump.”

Video of the speech quickly made the rounds on social media, with many consumers upset that “America’s largest Hispanic-owned food company” would support a president who has called Mexicans rapists, puts immigrant children in cages, and continues to attempt to dismantle DACA. 

“We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder,” Unanue said. “And so we have an incredible builder. And we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country, that we will continue to prosper and to grow.”

The latest to join the #BoycottGaya movement? Cravings author Chrissy Teigen and more celebrities. “FUUUUUUUCK,” Teigen tweeted on July 10. “A shame. Don’t care how good the beans taste though. Bye bye.”

“The next step republicans will do (mark my words, they did this with my equinox tweets as well) is say you aren’t supporting the workers if you boycott,” Teigen continued. “You ARE. They should never feel they have to work for someone who agrees Mexicans are ‘vile’ ‘rapists’ – FUCK this guy. Support the workers by empowering them to be stronger than this absolute bastard. I will personally do what I can to financially ensure these farms can carry on without them.”

In another reply, Teigen added, “You think they’re going under? I see a new Karen every day spouting off in a Trader Joe’s who will gleefully buy the beans. Don’t worry about fucking GOYA.”

“We learned to bake bread in this pandemic, we can learn to make our own adobo con pimienta,” Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator and star of Hamilton chimed in. “Bye.”

Here are just a few more:

The Goya CEO has not backed down from his position, at least going by a July 10 interview on Fox & Friends. “So, you’re allowed to talk good or to praise one president, but you’re not allowed to aid in economic and educational prosperity? And you make a positive comment and all of a sudden, it is not acceptable,” Unanue said, describing the pushback as “suppression of speech.”

7 Hunger Games Supporting Actors Who Are Crazy Famous Now

Elden Henson

The final two installments of Hunger Games which broke apart Suzanne Collins’ final novel introduced a slew of exciting new characters to the cast including Elden Henson’s Pollux, a documentarian who follows Katniss throughout the final act. The performance certainly wasn’t enough to showcase the actor’s full-on talent considering the character doesn’t have a tongue, but it led into Elden Henson taking his most high-profile role yet as Foggy Nelson in Daredevil, which expanded into Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and The Defenders. Sadly, Netflix’s plans for their own Marvel universe have since been cancelled, but Henson’s Foggy is iconic!

Could We See An Old Guard 2? Here’s What The Director Told Us

Off 2

Netflix’s The Old Guard debuted on the service today, but if you’ve already seen the movie, you know that it sort of betrays its graphic novel origins by setting up the idea that we could see more of it in the future. So is Netflix already planning to turn The Old Guard into a franchise? We asked the film’s director, Gina Prince-Bythewood, that very question, and while it seems there are no specific plans for such things at this moment, it certainly could happen.

To Make P-Valley, Katori Hall Spent 6 Years Talking to Exotic Dancers. This Is What She Learned.

Off 2

That’s why it was so enlightening for me to watch these women on stage as I started my research for Pussy Valley. Dancing wasn’t about taking their clothes off. It was about putting together an amazing theatrical experience—they looked like superheroes flying around in the air. It felt like I was at Cirque du Soleil, not a strip club. Those images tattooed themselves on my mind. I saw strength, flexibility, and athleticism swirling around a metal pole. I was so inspired I started taking classes to get my twerk right. It sounds great in theory, but I fell off of the pole and got so dizzy I had to run out of the class. I was so nauseous, but it was an entry point: I was able to experience firsthand just how hard pole dancing is. These women make it look easy.

In 2015, after six years of asking questions and making visits to more than 40 clubs across the country, I debuted a three-hour theater production of Pussy Valley in Minneapolis. At the time, my goal was to honor the struggles of these women. Eventually, though, I realized I wanted to see more. I wanted to explore life outside the club and meet the other people in their stories. I started developing what a TV series of the play could look like.

That took four years. Most people would have walked away from this odyssey, but I was so dedicated to telling these stories. I knew I was going to stick this out and see it to the end. I pitched P-Valley to a lot of streaming services and networks in Los Angeles, but I went with STARZ because it was important that I felt supported, both as a female showrunner and female showrunner of color. They were really into my vision of an unapologetic, honest, raw, in-depth exploration of strip club life.

When I started my career, I never could have dreamed that I’d do a TV show dedicated to the world of exotic dancing. But I’m also not surprised, because I walk in the world as a woman who loves women, who respects women, and who always wants to use her work to honor them. My mission statement in life as an artist is to continue providing nuanced portrayals of myself, whether it’s in theater or TV or film. I’m a young Black woman, and I’m dedicated to seeing other young Black women reflected in the mirror.

SHEIN Apologizes for Selling Swastika Necklace—But People Aren’t Buying It

Off 3

“To our dear community,” the statement began alongside a crying emoji. “We made a gigantic mistake by selling a product that’s hurtful and offensive to many of you, and we’re so, so sorry.”

The brand then claimed it listed “a Buddhist swastika necklace,” though the statement recognizes “there’s simply no excuse for our lack of sensitivity in doing so.” The item was allegedly removed as soon as SHEIN “discovered” the mistake.

“The Buddhist symbol has stood for spirituality and good fortune for more than a thousand years, and has a different design than the Nazi swastika which stands for hate,” the statement continued. “But frankly, that doesn’t matter because we should’ve been more considerate of the symbol’s hurtful connotations to so many people around the world and we didn’t.” So…nobody thought about what the necklace would look like if it was simply flipped around? 

“The only thing we can do is profusely apologize and reassure you that we’re making major internal changes so this doesn’t happen again,” the statement continued, promising to establish a review board to approve products before they’re sold. “We will also cease the sale of any religious items on our site.”

“We know we have a lot of work to do to deserve the love and support you’ve shown us these last few years,” the apology concludes. “But please believe that we in no way support or condone racial, cultural and religious prejudice or hatred. We love all of you and hope you stay with us.”

As you can imagine, many had thoughts on this statement—which has garnered over 6,000 replies so far on Instagram alone, with many in the comments pointing out that the company could donate the profits from the necklace to anti-defamation organizations or Jewish charities. 

I’ll just leave these Twitter responses here…
