About shipping Lara and Kurtis

WARNING: I re-post this because the person who posted it has me blocked and I can’t reblog. I still feel as a Lartis fan and shipper I’ve something to say, and that’s why I repost.

wakaba-flourishing

OK, I’ve been keeping this in for months and it has to come out.

You don’t actually ship Lara Croft x Kurtis Trent.

You ship yourself, as Lara, and Kurtis.

Let me explain.

A lot of shipping is based on wanting to see the two characters together. Take, oh, Sam and Lara, for a Tomb Raider-relevant example. From what I can tell, Salara is based on the interactions we have seen of them in Tomb Raider (2013) and the comics.

Soft touches, hugs, a touch of possessiveness. Sam calling Lara “sweetie,” Lara saying Sam is “all she’s got” and her “only true friend.”

People think this is sweet and adorable, and want to see more of it.

What’s the difference between Salara and Lartis?

Lartis is very Kurtis-focused and sex-based. “Imagine Kurtis slamming Lara onto the table in her mansion and shoving his hard 7-inch cock inside her quivering pussy. Imagine Kurtis naked in the shower inviting Lara in. Imagine Kurtis, erection in hand, lying on the bed with a daring smile and ‘come hither’ in his eyes, motioning Lara over.”

A few of these times, I’ve seen people actually not reference Lara at all and have it be just about sexualizing Kurtis.

And that’s absolutely OK! Women are oppressed in Western society. You deserve to have your dreamboats and hunks to gawk over and fantasize about. You deserve to explore your sexuality in this healthy way.

But when people turn around and say, “I don’t find Kurtis attractive,” “I don’t think Lara and Kurtis have chemistry,” “I don’t think Kurtis has interest in women,” suddenly there’s this–resistance and defensiveness.

Yes, of course Kurtis likes women, he’s only straight, there’s no evidence of him possibly liking men or being ace, the ship is canon, they kiss in the Top Cow comics, their subtle glances and caresses in AoD are proof of sexual tension, Murti wanted Lara to have Kurtis’ child, and how can you not find Kurtis attractive?

It’s almost a scary, unhealthy possessiveness. Maybe it was borne from Kurtis being ignored and/or shit on by the majority of the fanbase, maybe it came from wanting to preserve the memory of a neglected character. But it’s not right.

And the thing about it is, it’s almost like you view Kurtis as your man. Not Lara’s. It’s almost like he’s your ideal, so you project headcanons onto him and how you would want him to act in the bedroom.

The reason I don’t ship Lartis is you haven’t given me proof that it could work.

What’s their business relationship like? How does their battle strategy work? Do they go on missions together? How does domestic life work? How does Kurtis adjust to living in Croft Manor? How do Winston and Kurtis interact? Did Kurtis meet Lara’s friends–Father Patrick, Charles Kane, Jean-Yves, Jane Smith? (Extend this to Sara Pezzini, Vanessa Fenway, Madeline Hovan, Kerri Masterson, and probably others that I haven’t gotten to yet, if you want to mix Top Cow and Core canon.)

What is Lara Croft x Kurtis Trent like OUTSIDE OF THE BEDROOM? Convince me.

Literally all you talk about is how they would have sex.

Then you turn around and try to tell me that you like Lara x Kurtis as a romance? Newsflash: couples do more than fuck. I know some of y’all have real life relationships and know this.

What you’re doing is inserting yourself into Lara’s shoes and fetishizing Kurtis–hence the possessiveness and anger when he, or Lartis, are dismissed.

You do not ship Lara Croft x Kurtis Trent. You ship yourself, in Lara’s shoes, fucking Kurtis.

Convince me otherwise.

Please note: I’m not condemning Lartis as a whole. It can absolutely work! All ships are good ships. I’m taking issue with the behavior surrounding Kurtis Trent admirers in specific. To be blunt–it’s honestly kind of creepy.

luluvonv

I quite understand what you mean. Though I myself have never experienced or had such feeling, some of the works can feel that way. Still there are writings not focused only on sex. Mainly @positivelyamazonian stories are very descriptive in terms of how Lartis would work outside this “hanky panky” side. They are deep, well-thought, mature and so hell enjoyable. Read those, I can tell you you’ll get what you’re looking for..

Anyway, the part about projecting “headcons onto him” - aren’t headcons just about it?! Giving those characters some quality/behavioural traits people want the characters to have? They can be based and derived from things planned for the given character, based on the book/film/comic etc.. Or they can be totally made up not being based on anything. Then it depends on the writer how well and how logical and mature they will write and present the headcon. And also it depends on the reader how they will accept it..

As for myself, I can definitely tell you I don’t ship myself with Kurtis 😁 I ship him with Lara based on all the clear evidences seen in AoD. I didn’t need to have it confirmed by Murti or anybody else, actually. It was clear there was something - whatever the “something” means..

Lara and Sam, oh dear dear. I actually have no idea why people ship them, there’s no chemistry other than the friendship chemistry. Saying “sweetie” to your friends, touching and hugging them is not a proof of a partner intimacy. Based on this assumption I’d be lesbian. And I am not..

But as you said, all ships are ships and if people like them, good for them. We all have different tastes.

NOW MY TWO CENTS

I don’t identify myself with the first exposition at all. Yes, we had our jokes about lusting on Kurtis Trent, but they are just jokes! For me the ship never worked that way. I will speak for myself as @luluvonv did with herself. And this is my answer:

I SHIP LARA WITH KURTIS. In a very natural, healthy way. I am fine, I am not sexually opressed, I have not problems concerning that in my real life. My ship is only based in what I saw in TRAOD and that you perfectly described.

I DON’T SHIP KURTIS WITH MYSELF. When I write I am not an incarnation of Lara Croft, it’s just the heroine I admire and I like to write. So no, this is not about Mary Sue-ing Lara Croft into myself.

AND I FIND HIM EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE. I have nothing against him physically.

AND IT’S NOT JUST SEXUAL AT ALL.

I’ve writen a BIG LOAD OF FANFICS developing their relationship and hown they interact with the other characters you mentioned... all outside the bedroom!!! Having life, adventures, even family. Not just sex!!! Exactly what you said!!! Do you want to give me a try? I’ll be delighted to have you as my reader and receive your feedback, because my fanfics will provide you what you ask for.

So, yes, in my case, shipping Lara and Kurtis is an actual ship which doesn’t involve me at all and I can see the potential of the character, and the potential of their match not just in a sexual way.

So my advice is - READ LARTIS FANFICTION (there go some other nice recommendations for you). You’ll find that most fanfiction - not only mine!!! - developed an actual caring, loving relationship based in affection and not just mere sex. Goddammit, they even sacrifice for each other more than once.

Maybe this will help you to have a better grasp of what the ship and the fandom shipping them really are.

#thank you lulu for your sweet support #lartis #traod #tomb raider #lara croft #kurtis trent #well at least they recognized is canon #such a big step for them #match made in heaven #my otp is canon #ship discourse

Lo que vi esta semana: Miniserie.

THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT

Gambito de Dama

(Miniserie de 7 episodios)

Año: 2020

Pais: Estados Unidos

Dirección: Scott Frank

Creadores : Allan Scott y Scott Frank

Guión: Scott Frank (Novela: Walter Tevis)

Musica: Carlos Rafael Rivera.

Productora: Netflix (Distribuidora: Netflix)

🎬 Gambito de dama, la miniserie basada en la novela homónima de Walter Tevis es excelente. Una apacionante mirada al ajedrez y de las pasiones que el despierta. Sus personajes son brillantes y las actuaciones sobresalientes. Una historia contada tan sutilmente como inteligente.

Ambientada en la década del '60 en Kentuky el director nos deleita y muestra la historia de vida de la joven Beth ( Anya Taylor Joy) saltando del pasado al presente de forma perfectamente cronológica, desde su estadía en el orfanato hasta su madurez y su pasión por el ajedrez, pero también la soledad de una persona muy extrovertida.

Al quedar huérfana la niña termina en un orfanato cristiano donde es despojada de su pasado y su niñez. Ahí comenzará, en el sótano de la institución junto al conserje su adicción al juego. Con el tiempo aprenderá a jugar y drogarse con somníferos y tranquilisantes que le dan en el orfanato.

El feminismo, la adicción a las drogas, el desarraigo social, racismo y política son el alimento principal de la miniserie.

Lo que sigue es una apasionante historia de adopción, apego a su madre adoptiva y ganar y ganar al ajedrez. El final es lo que fueron todos los capítulos, soberbio.

Una tapada de boca a todas aquellas personas que se quejan de que la maquinaria de Hollywood ya no fabrica, aquí tienen el ejemplo.

⭐Excelente.

Danny Phantom Live-Action Fancast and Movie Concept:

Boo Stewart as Danny Fenton aka Danny Phantom

Victoria Justice as Samantha “Sam” Manson

Leon Thomas III as Tucker Foley

Jiang Wen as Jack Fenton

Melissa McBride as Madeline “Maddie” Fenton

Lyndsy Fonseca as Jazz Fenton

Christina Masterson as Dani Phantom

Stephen Amell as Johnny 13

Michael Wincott as Vlad Masters

Artwork “Danny Phantom 10 Years Later” by creator Butch Hartman

I follow many nerd blogs on youtube and last week a suggestion vid that caught my eye was “Danny Phantom 10 Years Later” by the show creator Butch Hartman who simply draws our childhood favorites of his on his channel. Coincidently, since the TMNT live action films by Nickelodeon came out and seemingly flopped, I instantly thought that in the cinematic field of superheroes today, that one of Nick’s all star superheroes could use a live action adaptation as well. Here’s my fancast,

Boo Stewart as Danny. I believe it was only referenced that the Fentons have Canadian background, but it’s not like there aren’t any Asians in Canada. Boo is a rising young actor with potential in acting but has a definite heroic stature. I’m simply pushing for Hollywood to give the kid a chance. Plus, representation matters.

A healthy reunion for Nickelodeon royalty in Victoria Justice and Leon Thomas III to portray the silly and daring best friends of Danny, Sam and Tucker. They would be the right cast for the alumni purposes as well for the fact that they could play the roles with ease, showing great onscreen chemistry.

If you didn’t watch Star Wars: Rogue One last year, then you can’t fully appreciate the stubborn husband vibes Jiang Wen through out as Baze Malbus. Given Butch’s realization of the pioneer ghost hunter Jack Fenton aged up, the physical appearance was already so matched up. Only to be sillier and slightly more experienced, Jiang can deliver that old gung-ho spirit with a little more badassery.

If we are going to shoot for the stars, then The Walking Dead icon, Melissa McBride is the surefire mommy in the kitchen who will mess you the f*ck up if you mess with her family, go getter that is Maddie Fenton. Maddie was always the war bound one who still had every bit of the loving mother of two teenagers. This even more hardcore depiction of her was admitted TWD inspired by Butch and so it just makes sense. Out with all the big fancy toys, Maddie’s into old testament style of ghost judgement.

Lyndsy Fonseca is no newbie to the nerd community with her time on Nikita and Agent Carter or her role in Kickass. The perfect compliment of a perfectionist big sister, Jazz Fenton has fully assumed a role in Team Phantom as the “woman in the chair.” All wired in she can be the eyes and ears for the team.

Danny Phantom had many interesting characters and villains down to even the Box Ghost. Dani Phantom, his clone counterpart by Vlad was one of the even more satisfying creations of the show being all that he was but in a female form. Butch would feel that herself not surrounded by the friends and family like Danny has, may play the line 10 years down the road where next time we see her, who knows what games she’ll be playing at. Christina Masterson may be a lesser known star, but as a Power Rangers alum, you’d believe she’d deliver as a ghost powered antihero woman on her own mission.

Stephen Amell is such a cool guy who’s down to participate in many awesome nerd activities like the WWE, American Ninja Warrior, or portraying Casey Jones in the recent TMNT film. With long hair he’s a doppelgänger to fan favorite villain Johnny 13 and with his action background we’d hope for the right amount of action between he and Danny to really set the right tone for the movie while also reminding us of the good times of the show.

Lastly, Vlad was last seen stranded on an asteroid where Butch foresaw him possibly being captured by aliens despite his awesome might. A newly rebuilt Vlad now escaped from alien captivity and hellbent on getting revenge on Danny needs a much greater fear and presence. Michael Wincott is an actor who always screams villain and has such a great voice and presence for it. Even greater in age just means greater in power, and with a more humbled look than his cartoon’s former demeanor, Wincott is exactly the guy to have the film taken more seriously and grounding it to a degree that it’s not just some typical Nickelodeon film.

Like myself, I’ve come to see that there are still plenty of Danny Phantom fans out there and should nick give up on the Ninja Turtles, Danny Phantom may be ready to be presented to cinema in the midst of superhero universes. Or maybe we’ll have another Fairly Odd Parents live action nightmare with Drake Bell. Yikes!

Clayray Closeout 2018

Another momentous year has passed, and I am feeling reflective about my tastes and my year, so once again, clayray is closing out the year. Usually I don’t do this, but this year, I traveled a lot, like A LOT a lot, and I made the move across the country to LA, so before I reflect on my media consumption, here is a list of all the places I went to this year:

January - Baltimore for a baby shower February - San Francisco Sonoma for a wine tasting trip with college friends March - New York City to see musicals April - Las Vegas for PBS TechCon Two days after getting back - Sarasota for Roadshow Less then a week after - Tulsa for Roadshow May - San Francisco for CAAMFest Louisville for Roadshow Literally the day after - LA San Diego for Roadshow June - Detroit for Roadshow Toronto with mom Montreal to see Sarah July - Charlotte to meet up with Colleen and Katy Smoky Mountains for a bridal shower New Hampshire for a wedding September - Moved to LA! October - San Francisco for a wedding Boston Newport for a wedding November - Florida for Thanksgiving

Whew! As you can see, August and December were the only months that I didn’t travel, and that was because August was spent preparing for my big move and in December, my family came to me. What with layovers, I was on 33 flights plus 5 significant buses plus several “road trips” with friends/family, too. And some of these trips were so back-to-back that I barely spent any time sleeping in my own bed!

Now, I’m still in a weird period of transition, but soon enough, I will develop a routine and establish a place here. I moved across the country with no job, no apartment, and very few friends, and it was a humongous change to make. But as scary and hard as it can be, I think I have enough faith in myself that it will all work out and I will be okay. And with that, I’m looking forward to 2019!

But meanwhile, continuing to look back:

Music - Artists

La Luz

Joywave

Jesse McCartney

Younha

Saint Motel

30 Seconds to Mars

Betty Who

The Aces

BTS

Infinite

As always, artists that I saw live are a huge presence in this list: La Luz, Saint Motel, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Betty Who, and technically I was walking up to the venue when Joywave was playing (which I am still bitter about, for the record.) Other artists I saw live this year: MisterWives and Walk the Moon opening for 30 Seconds to Mars, Tamia, Duckwrth and Buyepongo at the Made in LA Festival literally my second day in LA, Gymshorts opening for La Luz, Vincent Vallières and Brigitte Boisjoli and Martha Wainwright and Michel Rivard and Klô Pelgag at the Fete in Montreal, Bleachers, Sara Bareilles at MisCast, Dionysia and Bazmati Vice, Gryffin, and I guess technically I saw Pregnant Boy.

I have been in love with Jesse McCartney since I was 11 and he released new music this year, which I adored (which you will soon see in the Top Tracks), so of course he’s that high up. Similarly, Younha released an excellent album this year and I’ve always loved her. I actually didn’t find Infinite’s album particularly thrilling, but I guess I liked it well enough that I wouldn’t skip their songs whenever they came up.

I had actually listened to The Aces before, but this year was when I really got into them. Their album is stellar and I love their sound and their look!

And as for BTS, my mom’s actually a huge fan and there was no escaping their immense worldwide popularity. I remember when they debuted! It’s great to see how they have grown to be the K-Pop group that has “made it” to the States.

This is the first time in a long time that my all-time favorites like Secret and McFly haven’t been in the top. Secret’s disbandment really hurt, even though we all saw it coming, and I’m still not over it.

Odesza didn’t make it up to the very top, but I also listened to them a lot with my boyfriend. :)

Music - Albums

Younha - RescuE

The Aces - When My Heart Felt Volcanic

Infinite - TOP SEED

Hamilton OBCR

Alexz Johnson - A Stranger Time

Dan Masterson - When Reality Calls

La Luz - Floating Features

Janelle Monáe - Dirty Computer

Eric Nam - Honestly

Anastasia OBCR

Unsurprisingly, my top artists are showing up in the top albums. I was surprised to see that the Hamilton OBCR was so high, but then I remembered that I featured it heavily in my 4th of July playlist that I played during my party. I’ve been fond of Alexz Johnson since Instant Star, even though I didn’t actually watch the show, and my friend Schuyler and I had a bit of a phase reminiscing about that era of “teen show” singers like her and also Drake Bell.

Dan Masterson is, full disclosure, a friend of mine from college, but his album is really excellent, and you should check it out if you’re interested in piano-based singer-songwriter tunes!

What is there to say about Janelle Monáe except that she is a beacon of brilliance, and we are lucky just to be able to witness it.

The other musical on this list is Anastasia, which is one of the musicals I saw this year. I saw it on Derek Klena’s last evening performance, which is actually one of two times that I saw him. I also saw him in Jagged Little Pill at the A.R.T (he is not the best part of that show, though, Lauren Patten’s “You Oughta Know” is hands down unequivocally the showstopper). The other musicals I saw this year were Allegiance, Hello! Dolly, and I saw the Genies’ Jukebox. Not a musical, but I also saw the off-Broadway show Puffs, which was hysterical.

I’m not sure why I didn’t pay attention as much, but Death Cab’s album this year is pretty great. I didn’t love the Arctic Monkeys’ album as much as I wanted to, though they actually just missed being in my Top Artists by 10 listens. Robyn’s album this year was also pretty stellar, but it was released pretty late in the year.

Movies

As always, subjective ranking and not numbers-based.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Okay, biased, what with my children’s media thing and PBS thing. Tbh I don’t even like documentaries that much, but this one. I wept. And we really needed this film right now.

Blindspotting I saw this at the Independent Film Festival Boston, with a Q&A with Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal afterwards, and just wow. This is an incredible tour de force. Brilliantly crafted and visceral and hilarious, too. I know a bunch of people were drawn to it because of Daveed Diggs and his Hamilton fame, but genuinely, he and Rafael Casal’s passion for this film and overwhelming talent shine through in this.

Searching Look, I love love loved Crazy Rich Asians and Asian August and Asian-American women bringing back the rom com. As an Asian-American woman, I have been waiting for so long for this to happen. But I picked Searching because as a film, Searching takes the screen footage tactic, heretofore only really used in horror films, and capitalizes on it to such amazing dramatic and emotional effect. John Cho is fantastic, of course in this very tense and very stressful film.

Black Panther I cannot believe it hasn’t even been a year since Black Panther. Can we start using the term BBP and ABP for Before and After Black Panther? I saw somewhere that Letitia Wright is the biggest box office star of the year, which is fabulous because she is fabulous (and a Disney princess!). The world-building is amazing, the action is amazing, the eye candy is amazing (Helloooooo Michael B. Jordan and Chadwick Boseman and Danai Gurira and Lupita Nyong’o and...you get the point).

Ralph Breaks the Internet I spent a lot of this film marveling at how only Disney could have pulled this off, this massive ambitious bringing together of so many brands and characters and, y’know, the internet. I also enjoy that this is not a romantic love story, and it is a story about love in other ways. Loving your friends and caring for them and respecting them is so important, and dealing with insecurity is as well. This is such a smart movie, and as somebody who cares about children’s media, that is the standard to which we should aspire.

Honorable Mentions: A Quiet Place (Though of the horror films this year, Hereditary and Annihilation were also very good), Madeline’s Madeline for Helena Howard’s performance, I Tonya because um duh figure skating but does not make the list because trying to pass off Margot Robbie as teenage was laughable, Three Identical Strangers

Movies I Want to See But Haven’t Yet: Eighth Grade, Sorry to Bother You, Support the Girls, Widows, Creed II, The Hate U Give, Halloween, Burning, RBG, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Dumplin’ (My roomie’s in it!)

Movies I Should See But Haven’t Brought Myself To Care About: A Star is Born, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Mary Poppins Returns, Green Book, Love Simon, Paddington 2

2020.12.02 EDIT: I was wrong about Paddington 2. It is an incredible film.

Television

Sharp Objects I’ve read the book (and own it somewhere...) but it had been a while, so Sharp Objects did what a good mystery does - even upon a revisit, the things you don’t remember are tantalizing and the discovery of new clues and revelations keep shifting your perspective and giving it a jolt each time. Amy Adams is phenomenal in this (as she always is) and Eliza Scanlen as Amma gives a piercing performance in this.

Queer Eye All of the remakes happening incessantly is tiring and also eyeroll-inducing (it’s cliche but honestly, where are the original ideas nowadays?), but then we get something like Queer Eye. Reality TV gets a hard rap, but with Queer Eye, you get the entertainment factor and also incredibly moving emotional heft as well. Also, I genuinely wonder at how Bobby gets all that house remodeling done and he doesn’t get enough credit for it!

The Haunting of Hill House I love the Shirley Jackson story and also the original movie (I have not watched the 90′s movie and I don’t think I ever will), so my only real gripe with this show is that I wish they didn’t call it The Haunting of Hill House because it really isn’t. But what it is, is a brilliant family drama launching off of the Hill House story. It is captivating and beautiful and spooky, and also the casting of the young kids is impeccable.

Nailed It! Sometimes you just need to guffaw over people’s ridiculous failures. This show doesn’t take itself too seriously and because it embraces the silly, it’s full of heart and joy.

Élite I love foreign teen dramas. I love murder...in my television/movies. Of course I was gonna love this show. But just because it has these two elements doesn’t mean that I automatically was going to think it’s a great show (It does probably mean I would automatically enjoy it, but that’s different). Both of these genres are rife with tropes, but this show takes them and executes them in such a way that it rings true and doesn’t distract from your enjoyment.

Honorable Mention: Memories of the Alhambra only because it’s still ongoing! It’s a brilliant way of looking at technology and combining it with all the elements of a K-drama that you could want. It’s kinda like if a good episode of Black Mirror (because goodness knows that quality varies) combined with a K-drama.

Also of mention are some excellent series that continued this year. I can’t believe I didn’t watch them when they first came out, but The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Big Mouth are both so so good. Though I have strong feelings about the second season of Maisel and think the Paris bit was just an awkward flex and should have been cut, and the Catskills could have been an entire series of its own. Also, I actually saw Nick Kroll do some readings of all the characters in Big Mouth at the Vulture Festival this year!

In addition to the show-watches-from-the-beginning that I am still working through (Parks and Rec, The Wire, Gilmore Girls, Mad Men, etc.) I’ve also started watching Ugly Betty and Strong Woman Do Bong Soon from the beginning.

There are a few new shows from this year that I really have been wanting to watch but haven’t yet: Killing Eve, Kidding, Homecoming. Mostly Killing Eve for Queen Sandra Oh and also the girl from MMFD!

Okay, whew! That’s enough of that. Where do I even find the time to watch all this stuff??

13 Beauty Pros on the Products That Make Them the Most Nostalgic

Women in the beauty industry tell us about the products that send them back in time the most.

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Amanda Bell

Pixi Beauty global colour ambassador

“As a child in the ’70s, I used to watch old black-and-white films and flip through Vogue with my incredibly beautiful neighbour, a woman who bought clothes in Paris and tasty morsels from Harrods. I would sit at her dressing table and admire her lotions and potions, but none was more beautiful and evocative than her signature scent Guerlain Shalimar. To this day, when I smell it, it reminds me of her and the many happy hours I spent in her company.”

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Wendy Iles

Hairstylist and founder of Iles Formula

“I used to use Benefit Benetint about 30 years ago. I cannot even remember why I stopped using it. It was an essence of red rose petals—a liquid I used to rub across my cheeks with my fingers and stain my lips with. It gave me the freshest look, as if I’d been outside for a healthy walk.”

Veronica Chu

Makeup artist and CoverGirl makeup pro

“When I saw my mom curl her lashes for the first time, my mind was blown! Watching her go from straight to perfectly curled lashes, I literally thought she was a magician. To this day, I curl my lashes every morning and think of her.”

Sabrina Rinaldi

Editorial makeup and hair artist

“Although I was a kid in the ’80s, my older cousins were teenagers with acne, and Sea Breeze astringent promised to leave skin clear and fresh so it was THE product! I obviously looked up to them, so that, plus the fresh smell and cool tingle it left on your face, meant it was a product I wanted to use even though I was, like, seven years old.”

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Madeline Poole

Global colour ambassador for Sally Hansen

“I remember putting on watermelon Lip Smackers lipgloss incessantly, particularly at the movies and around the time I had my first kiss. And I also vividly remember my hair getting stuck to my lips from the stickiness of it. At that time, there was no such thing as too much lipgloss.”

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Rita Remark

Global lead educator for Essie

“To this day, Ralph Ralph Lauren perfume, with its distinctive zesty sweetness, still has the ability to bring me back to grade-school dances—wearing skater shoes and butterfly clips and wishing my new perfume would get my crush to ask me to dance to the latest K-Ci & JoJo jam.”

Ellis Faas

Makeup Artist and founder of Ellis Faas

“Up until the 1960s, my grandparents had a big beauty and hair salon in Amsterdam. They were the sole retailer for Guerlain in our country, so the very first memories I have of cosmetics were these luxuriously packaged lipsticks that had this heavy, old-fashioned smell and were so pigmented they would stay on forever. My grandparents also developed a massage and facial cream that they called Crème Faas. So having my own brand now probably means that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Grace Lee

Makeup artist and lead artist for Maybelline New York

“Seeing images of Maybelline Kissing Potion instantly brings me back to my childhood and how much I loved collecting them. I can almost smell them, and the rollerball tip brings back memories of playing with them on my lips and fingers. It was a unique texture and smell that I will never forget.”

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Janet Jackson

Celebrity hairstylist and owner of JouJou Hair Studio

“I’ve always seen my mom using Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Body Lotion, and now I can’t live without it. I use it all over my body. I used it during both of my pregnancies—it’s great for stretch marks.”

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Simone Otis

Editorial makeup artist

“My grandmother used to wear Robert Piguet Fracas perfume, as did my mother. Now I do, and I’ve given a bottle to my daughter. It’s a scent I find comforting and familiar and reminds me of all of them.”

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Mariisa

Hairstylist and artistic director for Marc Anthony

“My mother used Roberts Borotalco, a softly scented talcum powder. Fresh from the shower, she would use it on herself; it became my first imprint of what a woman should smell like. We used to steal it and toss it all over ourselves while playing dress-up.”

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Jen Atkin

Celebrity hairstylist and creator of Ouai Haircare

“I begged my mom for a red lip from the age of five. Remember Sade’s ‘Smooth Operator’ video? I fell in love with her and still love her to this day. That was my biggest ‘Oh my God!’ moment. Sade’s red lip was like a Revlon red, and my mom would let me wear it for special occasions.”

ILLUSTRATION BY KRISTINA HULKTRANTZ.

Tiffany Masterson

Founder of Drunk Elephant

“That would have to be two perfumes, because I had two grandmothers. Shalimar and Norell will both have a place in my heart forever. And Erno Laszlo toner, with the sediment on the bottom, reminds me of my mom!”
