Style reveals substance

Featured Artist: Faces of Gypsy

I’ve been intending on starting something like this in the long run, a feature or catalog of artists of all stripes who are on our side. Today presented the perfect chance to start.

News broke that Gypsy Freeman, a Trump-supporting makeup artist, was divested of her winnings in a contest run by Kat Von D not-at-all-because-of-politics-but-totally-because-of-politics. This is exactly the kind of behavior I expect to see (and do) from the left.

It’s also why we need to support our own.

Gypsy Freeman is a beautiful makeup artist. My edit of her work is going to skew ethereal, but her portfolio also runs heavy into steampunk. I like her work because it hits the balance of stylized, editorial makeup and ethereal looks.

If you’re in Tampa or Wichita and need makeup expertise, definitely look her up.

A few things:

  1. Twitter’s algorithm is sometimes scary-accurate (which means, inversely, that its shadowbanning capabilities are also on target)
  2. Scaramucci’s actual tweeting style is so much like a parody account already, it’s going to be extra entertaining watching people mistake @scaramiucci for the real thing.
  3. I’m looking forward to the offensive media campaign that comes out of this.
