I wouldnt even worry about it because its clear that everyone featured on that video has more talent in their pinky nails than she has in her whole body for reporting! <br /><3 Macismycrack AKA Chel-CMacismycrackhttp://www.youtube.com/macismycracknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-44940924730804050142009-07-24T17:39:12.884+02:002009-07-24T17:39:12.884+02:00I'm not offended by the piece, I just thought ...I'm not offended by the piece, I just thought it was ridiculous and poor journalism because it doesn't shed light on anything...haha!MissChievoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053145226735077523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-76571596060759359262009-07-24T12:21:19.374+02:002009-07-24T12:21:19.374+02:00Oh dear.....

Not everything we read in a newspaper is news, or needs to be unbiased. I should add, I most certainly wouldn't refer to the SMH as high art? It's mainstream media and I really doubt they are trying to project a high art image.<br /><br />I guess I just don't understand the outrage over this clip? It's just one person's opinion after all :)<br /><br />That being said, I definitely don't agree with her opinions and think you're fabulous, Julia ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-85139040217742357542009-07-24T06:43:45.810+02:002009-07-24T06:43:45.810+02:00Lighten up!

Obviously this was one person's view on a not-so-new web phenomenon; she seems to have just caught up and is probably a bit peeved about that! The feature is trivial in its brevity and the fact that it fails to properly appreciate just how popular and influential people like Julia are in reaching a very wide audience.<br /><br />SallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-50296556442945971282009-07-23T22:44:54.088+02:002009-07-23T22:44:54.088+02:00I really have to agree!

They have this person doing a beauty blog on that - and listen, I learn more in 5 minutes on Makeup Alley or YT than reading that drivel.<br /><br />Julia - you are an artist and wonderful. This journo is forgetting that make up is fun. I think the SMH woman who does the blog is over 50 and let's face it - at that age you don't tend to experiment new looks anymore.<br /><br />SMH is a joke. It was nice featuring you - but no doubt the journalist is a person who thinks makeup is putting on the chapstick and leaving the house.<br />HAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-17173106106618853832009-07-23T10:41:22.998+02:002009-07-23T10:41:22.998+02:00Jeez - Well I hope..
