There’s nothing more prehistoric than being told fashion and beauty can’t have its place alongside ‘the serious stuff’. I love politics AND lipstick, as hard as it might be to comprehend - and so do many women. That is why there are LOTS of different articles written. On men too.
@grooming_guru @katy_rowlands @Telegraph My story by no means is the only standalone story on Kamala, however as a beauty journalist, it is my job to cover Kamala's public image (we have similar public image stories on Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, for instance).
@grooming_guru @katy_rowlands @Telegraph However my colleagues at the Telegraph across our features desk have produced seperate articles on the wider context of having such a brilliant woman at a powerful level - and what it means for politics.
@grooming_guru @katy_rowlands @Telegraph My department and area of expertise is beauty, hence focusing in on Kamala's refreshing public image. My piece is not intended to be reductive of Kamala's talents whatsoever (and I am very aware of how significant her appointment is).
🔓 Following the assault on the free press, we have made the decision that all the Telegraph journalism published this weekend is now free to read on our website until Monday morning
Delighted to be a guest on today's @Telegraph coronavirus podcast, discussing the (big fat sexist) slow reopening of the beauty industry with @T_Louloudis and @soniaharia Listen here https://t.co/TajDaKJe8N
"While the beauty industry is still seen as frivolous and unnecessary, there is no hope for the sector to reopen quickly," writes @soniaharia https://t.co/Qyg8jYj2mb
"Yesterday's PMQs is a perfect example of how to lose the trust of thousands of women in one, short minute," writes @soniaharia https://t.co/5gcCWzHFJ0
By its very nature, the beauty sector operates within a sterile and hygienic environment. But the Government didn't give them a reopening plan, @soniaharia writes.
There's no date. Just nothing.
Did they forget it because it's a sector run by women, for women? #WhyCantIWork
Wondering how your hair appointment will change from July 4? 💇💈
