Barbie likely wouldn't exist if Mattel's founder hadn't stumbled across Bild Lilli, a plastic doll based on a comic strip. The first Barbie doll, from 1959, had Lilli's red lips, high blonde ponytail, and winged eyeliner. But these dolls had flat chests, big bellies, and squatty legs – they were built like overweight six- or eight-year-olds," Handler wrote. The newspaper began making Lilli dolls in 1955 because of the comic's popularity and to market the newspaper. "Here were the breasts, the small waist, the long, tapered legs I had enthusiastically described for the designers all those years ago," Handler wrote.

In her recent article in The Atlantic, Twenge said millennials have experienced "a breathtaking financial comeback" since the mid-2010s. Even Martha Stewart jumped on the teenage-dirtbag train — though she could take some notes from Kennedy on the sleaze.

[1/2] A model presents a creation by designer Virginie Viard, as part of her Fall-Winter 2023/2024 Women's ready-to-wear collection show, for fashion house Chanel during Paris Fashion Week, in Paris, France March 7, 2023. The entire set was built around towering, white camellia sculptures that faced the audience, seated in steep risers ringing the space, a sprawling exhibition hall south of the Eiffel Tower. Most looks were black and white, paraded by models striding on shiny black platform boots, often with patterned white tights. For the finale, the massive camellia sculptures suddenly glowed red, and slowly shifted between red and a bright pink as models rounded the room. The catwalk presentation was held on the final day of Paris Fashion Week, which drew crowds of celebrities to the French capital, and featured big-name labels including Hermes, Valentino, LVMH-owned (LVMH.PA) Dior and Louis Vuitton, Kering-owned (PRTP.PA) labels Saint Laurent and Balenciaga.

☆ 10 things about ancient Egypt that movies and TV got wrong, according to an expert

Movies and television shape what people think about ancient Egypt. Here are 10 things that "Moon Knight", "The Mummy", and others got wrong and one they got right. When it comes to ancient Egypt, they can draw the portrait of pharaohs ruling Egypt with an iron fist, cruel torture, and wicked booby-trapped pyramids. "All of the sarcophagi that I've seen in Egypt were made of stone," said Browder, an author of several books on ancient Egypt. The curse that set Imhotep on his murderous path in "The Mummy" has no historical basisIn "The Mummy," Imhotep was mummified alive.

"I've seen a lot worse first-time drag than Miss Kitara," Jan said.

Sonya Dube went to buy more of one of her favorite makeup products, a Charlotte Tilbury highlighter, this summer only to find it was out of stock—again. So, it was only natural that Ms. Dube turned to TikTok to document her exasperation at not being able to find another bottle. Viewers often can click a link to buy an item right away, making the shopping experience nearly seamless—if the product is in stock. Charlotte Tilbury has sought to adapt its supply chain to respond to customer demand as products go viral, a company spokesperson said. “We do our best to hold enough stock to get us through moments like these,” Ms. Schakler said.

For a relatively stress-free Halloween ensemble, throw on a tux, top hat, a pocket square and some fierce red lipstick.

☆ I’ve Never Been an Impulse Buyer—Until Now
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-08 | by ( Julia Carpenter | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

During periods of high inflation, consumers sometimes try to “lock in” prices on long-desired items. First, there was the oh-so-smudgeable lilac eyeliner, another $16 added to my cart on a whim. Then, there was the $30 Etsy T-shirt, customized to print Artemisia Gentileschi’s “Judith Slaying Holofernes,” purchased on my phone in the dead of night. But the third impulse buy prompted some reflection. Did I really need a 2-foot-tall minimalist neon sculpture of Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring?” No, of course not.
