On Meet Iran Ghavami, Australia's Six-Year-Old Dacking Hero
dacking = pantsing, it doesn't need to be retribution.
Also decking = knocking someone out/down.

On Julia Gillard, Australia's New Prime Minister: Fulfilling Germaine Greer's Dream
i'm an australian lady-person, and i don't think it's really anything anyone should be proud of... It's not like she was elected PM, Kevin quit after being rolled by his cabinet and she jumped in his seat.
As his deputy and closest ally, how is she any different to him? she's not.
the only people that voted for Julia are the fraction in her local electorate, Kevin put her in as deputy, and the caucus decided she would be the best (of a bad lot) replacement. It's hardly evidence of any change in the "macho" culture of Australia.

Dior make a spray-can version, but instruct you to spray it on your hands and apply with fingers...which seems to defeat the purpose of the whole thing...

yeah, very true, mix it in with regular cleanser, and it should bubble away surface gunk.

for dry/sensitive skin - gentle fruit acids or microdermabrasion type product
for oily/congested skins - harder-core acid/chemical exfoliants or heavily beaded products.

airbrush is awesome...but if a lady can't manage a sponge, she probably can't manage little splats of liquid being shot on her face at high-speeds.
unless she has other areas of expertise.

have dry skin? use liquid foundation
have oily skin? use powder foundation
have old lady skin? use cream foundation
have blemishes? use concealer
don't use sponges, use brushes (small & synthetic for liquid/cream/concealer, bushy animal hair for powder)
Exfoliate 2-3 times a week regardless of skin type then moisturise
and thats how to do your fucking make up.

On Math Is Hard: Is Jessica Simpson a Billionaire? (No!)
Depends on the deal…
My clients get 15% of the licensee sell price (w/sale – unless the deal is direct to retail, in which case the % is lower, but the price is obvi higher). It’s only net of taxes, not any discounts or costs, which are carried by the wholesaler.
Depending on her royalty rate, which I think is probably around 15%, her return is looking a little better. But her merchandise agents could be taking anywhere from 15-35% of her cut… I think she would still be clearing minimum $30-45M in income.
And if her reps are smart, the lion share of that would be guaranteed… sales or no sales.
