*NOTE* Y'all I'm so so sorry. I've gotten SO many comments about my butchering of the word qipao. I used Google Translate and two pronunciation videos and I was 100% sure I had it right. I re-listened to the Google Translate today and I feel like it's pulling a blue dress/gold dress on me because I hear it both wrong and right depending on how I train my ear. If I could go back and fix it I would, but I can't. It's pronounced “chee-pow”. I promise I will get it right from now on! Thank you for letting me know! I've got it now! (Side note, this is exactly what I was afraid of last week with pronouncing those 6 French named lipsticks and Awuoi Matiop's name. People were really upset that I didn't even try and I completely understood where they are coming from. So I tried this time. I googled, I watched videos, and I failed. I'm legit so sorry. I will keep trying!)

Aww, don't be too hard on yourself Jen, as someone who speaks Chinese I can tell you that using Google translate just can't get the nuance of inflection that listening to a real person say it can. Especially with Chinese when there can be five different ways to pronounce a word depending on the accent over the vowel. Like Ta for male, female, and "it" (like animals), same word just the inflection is slightly different so the whole meaning changes. You can't be expected to be an expert Chinese speaker after two minutes. Edit: Oh, and I was one of the ones saying "did she mean "chee pow", oh, yeah, she's talking about the dress, definitely meant "chee pow"🤣🤣

If "Gray" is who I think she is, she was "harassed" (term used VERY loosely here with several dozen air-quotes) by the knitting community for stealing peoples' money. She had a yarn dyeing business, became more popular than she could sustain as a one-woman business, kept taking orders despite no longer fulfilling any, and instead of providing refunds or dealing with (rightfully) angry customers she faked her own death with her husband's help. The reason why the reporter wouldn't be able to find her or contact her is because she did actually pass away of cancer for real a few years ago.

So many "cultural appropriation" controversies can be avoided with just the bare amount of research. People need to choose to be better.

Isn’t the modern Qipao an adaptation (appropriation) of western-style dresses and sewing techniques? As we know them, the Qipao goes back to the 1910s, at the earliest, and originated with exposure of China, during a socially and culturally transitional era, of western culture and fashion, resulting in shorter dresses, three-dimensional tailoring, and more feminine silhouettes. The only time I’ve seen a Manchurian Qipao, was in a museum, and it looks absolutely nothing like what the Qipao is understood as today.
@shirollylolly15943 ай бұрын
@@sergpie Kind of? The modern qipao is based on the qizhuang (what I assume you're referring to at the end there) and has Western influences. However, The modern qipao is still a very distinct and recognizable dress that most everyone would associate with China. You wouldn't argue that 1920s American dresses are the same as qipao, would you? Traditional qizhuang and modern qipao are not the same thing, just like how a 1920s qipao and 1920s Western dress styles aren't the same. The way cultural "appropriation" has been used today is less about adopting different aspects of other cultures and more about the erasure of minority communities in Western media. The term "cultural appreciation" has become popularized because of the negative connotations surrounding cultural appropriation. I think using sewing techniques and silhouettes from other cultures is a normal part of engaging in trade and sharing culture. There's also nothing wrong with non-Chinese people wearing or making these dresses, so I'm not sure the creation of the modern qipao would fall under the category of "appropriation" in today's social climate if that makes sense to you.
@furbyacolyte56043 ай бұрын
@@sergpie the reason why you've never seen a "manchurian qipao" or its variants in daily wear is because you don't live among chinese people. not an accusation, just plain fact, and to point out that clothing is a living tradition, not a static item to be acted on. simple variants still exist, and are still worn as an everyday garment, though they are viewed as a little old fashioned. I'd also like to point out that there is no such thing as a "pure" culture, and people are not pushing back against appropriation to protect the purity of something or to prevent intercultural dialogue. we are merely asking that living traditions be treated with respect. it is possible to collaborate, borrow, or pay homage to in respectful ways, after all. the 1910s was over a hundred years ago--that is still several generations worth of innovation, creation, and lived experience. cultural appreciation is about making sure culture stays dynamic: by allowing fashion to develop in tandem with the original culture, it will keep responding to and growing from the changing circumstances and tastes of the people it came from. sometimes that includes intercultural influence, and that's a wonderful thing! appropriation on the other hand seeks to flash-freeze an image (usually a caricature) for a single night out or one photoshoot, and this disrespect and attitude of disposability is the problem.

Instead of changing to KVD they would probably have done better scrapping any and all callbacks to Kat and renaming it something else that's on brand (goth, horror, etc.) People still call it Kat Von D makeup and then go, "I mean KVD..." because the association is still there with that woman and all her past and current crazy antics. I think Limecrime could use a total rebrand as well because right now they aren't really offering anything that customers can't get from Juvia's Place or a smaller indie brand that don't have as many or any controversies.

I was so excited for Lime Crime to grow, supported every launch and I was devastated by learning she wasn't a good person.
@igitha..._3 ай бұрын
Agreed, ...I too had spoken with her between approx 2000-2004, she seemed lovely then, and there was definitely excitement about her products & approach.... I'm in shock to find out that her business ventures went so pear-shaped! I wonder what was going on behind the scenes to motivate her in the direction she went?

I was a college student when Doe Deere still went by her legal name, and sold handmade clothes on eBay. i actually bought a pair of arm warmers and still have them lol. I was into sewing at the time and saw her as a huge inspiration for her bright colors. I never got into makeup, so I didn’t follow her down that path, but I definitely saw the drama and remember being surprised that the funky ebay clothes lady was such a mess.
@daintycaked3 ай бұрын
I am crazy familiar with Doe Deere (btw I feel like you should have used her real name). BEFORE Lime Crime she was part of the Lol!+a fashion style community. While I never interacted with her, she was the creator of the livejournal group "little big girls." She invented this group name for use on social platforms because the term Lol!+a was, and still is, banned by many social platforms for obvious reasons. So we used the abbreviation of LBG on sales for ebay to get around the ban in order to buy/sell clothes. She would sell items she sewed herself--but she also did a really bad job sewing them. One person I remember reviewed a skirt on livejournal egl group I believe (elegant gothic lol!+as) and said that the hem had been just folded over and duct-taped. While she had lots of great ideas and she is a very creative person, she is also a horrible person with vile ethics. She is def one of the people who helped to build up the Lol!+a fashion community online in the early 2000s, but, again, she's awful. Lime Crime just introduced her to a bigger part of the online community to gain more haters.

This rang a bell for me because I was a freelance content writer and I started writing for content mills as a side hustle. In August of 2016, I wrote an article for a content mill. The assignment was about Doe Deere and how she was a top inspiring female entrepreneur. It paid $4. I vaguely remember that it had to be a positive article about Doe Deere and Lime Crime, but I can't access the details now. It seems at that time, they were paying extremely low prices for content they could post across the internet to increase her presence and reputation. It isn't important now, but I thought you'd like this minute detail about them.

I remember when Lime Crime was in their prime. When it turned out Doe nasty mess (figuratively and literally) making cosmetics in some DIY home lab with poor quality ingedients the outrage was minimized because she was one of the few could make vibrant, smooth, blendable shadows. Even when shown proof that her "imaginative" colours were actually just pressed pigments imported from China the brand was still in demand. I think the final nail in her coffin was Jeffrey Star's products, she could no longer compete, he used the same playbook, but did it a million times better. I think in was in 2013/2014 (?) The makeup girlies in NZ were rushing to buy up product because we weren't going to be able to puchase from the site anymore.

And to think that both of them were cancelled due to their involvement with n*zi themes. I do remember wanting to buy LC’s eyeshadows and liquid eyeliners so bad but they were out of my budget. It’s a shame that Deere chose to be a horrible person because products such as the Venus palettes aren’t half bad. Maybe in the near future, the brand will discard their makeup lines and just focus of hair dyes.

I’ve still got my first palette by them. Like I consider it a museum piece 😂. I have a separate drawer for make up that I kept to keep. And allllll these years later the colors are actually still usable! Like the pallet itself looks nothing at all like the Naked palette, but it’s just so cool. And yes I don’t use any other setting spray but theirs! I’m 34 and have found most of my HG’s. I try new skin care all the time. But on make up I only use primer and a tinted powder, sometimes blush/bronzer. But mostly I just haven’t found the perfect liquid eyeliner. Lancôme is most likely my ultimate go to. But then i discovered Japanese and k beauty. So that changed the game. And yes to primer potion. I used hourglass and it was bunk but too late for a return so I think back to basics is best. Urban eye primer never failed me.

I would love a deep dive on Fyrinnae Cosmetics. They were among the OGs for nuanced Multichromes and Duochromes but they've..sorta fallen off the radar even though their formulas are still incredible. Also since Doe left, the Lime Crime got kinda boring color wise. Not saying she was needed, just that whoever took over the creative side of development axed loads and loads of their most fun colors not to mention changing the formula. The loss of Diamond Crushers hurt, their Venus palettes have gone the way of UD's Naked palettes. and their liquid lipsticks are now victims of the Nude-pocalypse like ColourPop.

I want to try to press the pigments. Even though they’re SUPER old, they’re just loose powder pigments so they haven’t gone off or bad. I’ll look it up to see if there are any real safety issues but I bought everything I needed to press them a couple of years ago (man, I REALLY need to stop procrastinating 😅). I’d love to add them to my Clionadh, ColourPop, and Lethal Cosmetics singles.

Hair dye alternatives to Lime Crime I can personally vouch for; Overtone, Good Dye Young, Arctic Fox, Lunar Tides. Lunar Tides was my favorite for color saturation, Overtone’s was the better conditioner, but Luna’s probably my fav if you want super vibrant colors over bleached/light hair that won’t damage. I used Overtone on my natural brown with the really dark shades they have and it does tint nicely. I’ve also tried Punky Color and Manic Panic but neither were great. Punky didn’t actually dye much and Manic fades very fast. I have naturally very thick and coarse hair and bleach never plays too nice on my scalp so I mostly use a richer, darker colors now that I’ve spent years experimenting. I used to keep a tight pixie cut so I would change it up often and could deal with cutting away damage frequently. There was never a point I had to go for the Lime Crime for an exclusive color for the past decade of me experimenting on my hair.
