Betty Dodson and Carlin Ross made a video for No Make-up Week and it is 1,000% worth watching. Betty Mother Fucking Dodson! Hearing a feminist icon say that she has problems with the social pressures of make-up is somehow freeing.  Like, yeah, no this is a real thing.  So, I’m not weak or flawed  or whatever for having issues with make-up. Because of these social pressures, whether form culture or family, it is so hard for any of us to have a  good relationship to cosmetics. It’s not a given–and whether you wear make-up or not there is a story there.

As Betty says, she and  Carlin have resisted the social pressures of sex their entire lives, but make-up is still an issue. I found this especially interesting, and it sparked that question again: what is the relationship between sex and make-up?  Check out Dodson and Ross where the duo continually explore women’s relationships to s ex, money, power and advance the way we love, create, govern and raise the next generation.
