GloRilla Shuts Down Unfair Comparisons After Viral Makeup Mishap

HonkMagazine

Rapper GloRilla is known for her lively personality and fun-loving nature, but she isn’t afraid to stand up for herself when necessary. Recently, she found herself in some unwanted spotlight after a viral makeup mishap circulated on the internet. People on social media began comparing GloRilla to another woman whose makeup transformation went terribly wrong, and it didn’t sit well with her. The viral post featured a dramatic before and after of the woman. The before picture showed her fresh-faced with no makeup, while the after picture displayed a confusing mix of clashing colors and messy makeup.

The results were more funny than flattering, and people soon made strange comparisons between the woman’s look and GloRilla. Unsurprisingly, GloRilla quickly responded to the unfair comments. She tweeted that she was seeing all the people who were making fun of the ‘ugly makeup girl’ and told them she was going to message them directly. Her witty comeback showed that while she can take a joke, she won’t tolerate disrespect. GloRilla has been the target of criticism before, from her unique fashion choices to her bold personality. Some speculated that the comparisons came from her own makeup styles that might not always be traditional.

But let’s be honest, everyone has off days with makeup, and nobody always looks perfect. Reducing a talented artist to an unkind internet joke only reveals the negativity that can thrive on social media. Despite the backlash, GloRilla’s response showcased her confidence and strength. She has built her career on being real and true to herself, both in her music and in her life. Her fans support her, cheering for her courage and ability to brush off negativity. In the end, GloRilla’s message is simple: think carefully before you throw insults her way because she might just reach out to you directly.

“Things Found In Books” by Yvonne Lyon & Boo Hewerdine unleashes the eclectic treasure of forgotten fragments of memories

Yvonne Lyon & Boo Hewerdine

Some songs beautifully capture stories whispered through time, and “Things Found In Books,” performed by Yvonne Lyon & Boo Hewerdine, is notable for this phenomenon unearthed rather than written. Inspired by a noticeboard in a second-hand bookshop at Scotland’s historically rich Culzean Castle, this intricately woven tapestry feels intentional, encapsulating a love letter to forgotten fragments of memories tied to seemingly trivial artifacts such as old receipts, hand-scrawled notes, and evocative photographs tucked away in diaries full of potent symbols. These represent intimate moments that have faded from memory, particularly within the context of estranged relationships with which one has inadvertently lost touch.

Lyon’s vocal performance, as always, is a masterclass in tenderness, imbued with a profound emotional gravitas. It presents a nuanced portrayal of everyday life while maintaining an intimate vulnerability that resonates personally and universally. Meanwhile, Hewerdine’s seasoned songwriting sensibility adds a timeless resonance, with each line meticulously crafted to elicit introspection from the listener. Together, they create a nostalgic sonic experience akin to a well-worn page, balancing fragility with the hopeful undertones of cherished memories.

Musically, “Things Found In Books” is understated yet captivating. Its stripped-back yet rich, folk-infused production allows the lyrics to take center stage. A gentle acoustic backdrop, subtle piano flourishes, and atmospheric textures warm the song long after the last note fades.
