If You’re Not Wearing a Monochromatic Outfit, Don’t Bother Leaving the House


A Bordeaux-colored leather pantsuit is statement-making, and with monochrome, there’s never too much of a good thing: We love the commitment to the theme with the oxblood bag.

Oversized cuts dress down this 2019 take on a three-piece suit; the terra-cotta color is seriously head-turning.

You don’t have to keep your colors muted: A bold, bright turquoise adds some splash to a gray day. A flippy skirt and party shoes keep the fun look fun from feeling overly formal.

Playing with proportions (a jacked swiped from a linebacker, the mini-est of skirts, a clutch you could carry a terrier in) adds dimension to a monochrome outfit. If you have a pair of boots for showing off, going monochromatic up top is a sure way to put them in the spotlight.

Priyanka Chopra proves that monochrome works with multiple shades: Her pink-on-pink look is an outfit we could take to the office.

A cropped suit-style jacket might just be our new favorite thing to wear with high-waisted trousers. (Plus, it’ll keep us warmer in a freezing office.) Apple green is a make-you-look-twice shade that makes the proportions feel fresh and modern.

Fuller House Debuts Its Fifth Season Trailer — Without Lori Loughlin


The first trailer for the fifth and final season of Fuller House is finally here. Though it teases lots of family-friendly fun, fans were quick to notice it’s missing one important thing: any mention of Aunt Becky.

Lori Loughlin famously portrayed Aunt Becky in the early ’90s classic TV show, Full House and then reprised her role in the Netflix revival, Fuller House. However, things hit a snag for Loughlin when it was revealed that she allegedly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to scam her children’s way into the University of Southern California. Loughlin is now facing an impending court battle and has pleaded not guilty.

The season five trailer picks up right where season four left off with the Tanner crew. In the clips, Stephanie Tanner (played by Jodie Sweetin) and Jimmy Gibbler (played by Adam Hagenbuch) finally get to bring home their new daughter, who happened to be carried by surrogate Kimmy Gibbler (played by Andrea Barber).

The trailer also gives fans a sneak-peek at what’s to come for D.J. Tanner (played by Candace Cameron Bure) and her on-again high school sweetheart Steve Hale (played by Scott Weinger)—something that truly made every fan of the original show giddy. But, that’s not all. In the two-minute trailer, fans also catch a glimpse of the rest of the OG cast including Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and John Stamos. AKA, everyone but Loughlin.

“It was really sad, and we could feel her absence,” Barber told People about Loughlin’s absence during the final season of filming. “It just felt like there was a hole in the whole season but also in that final episode. She should’ve been there, and I’m sorry that she wasn’t.”

And, in a recent Instagram post, Bure stopped short of supporting Loughlin in her court battle; however, the actress did explain that the bonds run deep with the entire Full House cast.

“We’ve had these friendships for more than 30 years and it’s just sad to leave them,” she said. “Have tears with us and hug along with us, because that’s kind of what we need, is the comfort and the love.”

Watch the trailer below before the first half of the fifth season drops on December 6:

Best Halloween Makeup, According to Haunted House Actors


Asking a beauty professional—whether it’s a celebrity hairstylist, makeup artist, or Instagram influencer (hi, 2019)—for advice is always a safe bet. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find there are plenty of other women out there who are legitimate authorities in their own right. In our column, Unlikely Experts, they’ll give real reviews and recommendations. Whether it’s surfers on the best conditioners, bikers on the best cleansers, or ballerinas on the best foot creams, it’s fair to say these women know best.

Every Halloween around 3 million Americans willingly pay money to be scared shitless at a haunted house. No longer just a Halloween hobby, haunted attractions have evolved into a million-dollar industry and full-on experiences, including covering guests in blood, strapping them to hospital beds, or promising $20,000 to those who survive. While I personally will never understand handing over your hard-earned cash in exchange for being traumatized, there’s certainly an art to creating a truly terrifying experience. The set and scenery play a crucial role in creating the environment, of course, but the real scare factor is courtesy of the actors doing the lurking, grabbing, and spooking, all with a face of makeup that’s the stuff nightmares are made of.

Creating a successful monster goes beyond simply creating a horrifying look (although that’s definitely a huge part of it), but the makeup also must last through several hours of sweating and screaming, and be easy enough to remove at the end of the night. While some scare actors (as they’re called in the biz) do their own makeup, most large haunts have a whole team dedicated to creating dripping wounds, rotting flesh, and terrifying teeth night after night.

While scrolling through Instagram is a great way to get inspired, if you want to know what products really get the job done, turn to haunted houses. We spoke to six scare actors and makeup artists from the best haunted attractions in the country on the products they rely on season after season.

“This a classic exorcist meets ghoul face that is the base of a lot of our more human looks,” says Aryn Fox, makeup manager and actor at The Dent Schoolhouse in Cincinnati, OH. Fox is a self-taught makeup artist who got her start playing with special effect makeup as a goth kid, but has being doing makeup at the Schoolhouse for 10 years now. For the above look, she uses Mehron Celebre Cream Color in alabaster for a “ghoulish base,” and she loves that it stays on through heavy sweating. For the veins and texture she mixes the European Body Art SFX Alcohol Palette with 99% alcohol, and to create the black drip she mixes Ben Nye Character Powder in charcoal with the alcohol to “mimic black ooze and blood.” To finish off the look she adds colored contacts and tooth color, “nothing makes me more ready to scare than some added tooth rot!”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Officially Announces Impeachment Proceedings


Following Democrats’ growing calls to impeach President Donald Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced official proceedings on Tuesday afternoon. “The president must be held accountable. No one is above the law,” Pelosi said in her video address.

Talk of impeachment has followed Trump for months, and Pelosi had previously said that Democrats needed to have the best possible case before launching an impeachment inquiry. However, Trump’s latest scandal involving a call to the Ukraine seems to have been the final straw. The controversy came to light after a whistleblower reportedly filed a complaint over an exchange Trump had with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump is accused of pressing Zelensky to dig up damaging information about his potential 2020 political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden while Ukraine awaits millions of dollars in funds from the U.S.

Pelosi suggested that a major development was afoot in conversation with Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg during the Atlantic Festival earlier on Tuesday. “As soon as we have the facts, we’re ready. Now we have the facts. We’re ready,” she said, according to the Guardian.

Just as the announcement of potential impeachment proceedings came, the New York Times released a report saying that Trump had agreed to release transcripts of the call, which he has referred to as “totally appropriate.” On Twitter, he dismissed the controversy as a witch hunt, writing, “You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call. No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo! This is nothing more than a continuation of the Greatest and most Destructive Witch Hunt of all time!”

But Democrats continued urging an investigation—and were able to move the House Speaker. Candidates like Bernie Sanders tweeted, “Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the modern history of this country. Enough is enough. I hope the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House will begin the impeachment process.” Elizabeth Warren wrote, “I called for impeachment five months ago, the day after the Mueller report came out. Trump continues to commit crimes because he believes he’s above the law. If Congress does nothing to respond, he’ll be right. We must begin impeachment proceedings—now.”

Megan Rapinoe Won’t Visit the White House if the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team Wins the World Cup


UPDATE:

On Friday evening (June 29), following the U.S. Women’s soccer team’s victory over France in the FIFA Women’s World Cup quarterfinals, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez invited U.S. co-captain Megan Rapinoe and her fellow teammates to the House of Representatives for a tour. “It may not be the White House, but we’d be happy to welcome @mPinoe & the entire #USWMNT for a tour of the House of Representatives anytime they’d like. ??,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

And it looks like the team is down: “Consider it done @AOC,” Rapinoe responded, adding a celebratory emoji.

Original Story

The U.S. Women’s soccer team is currently battling it out in the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The team just made it to the quarterfinals, but their success in the tournament wasn’t what made headlines on Wednesday (June 26); instead a social media frenzy exploded around co-captain Megan Rapinoe’s recent comments.

When asked whether she was excited to go to the White House (if the team does indeed take the tournament) by a reporter from the outlet Eight by Eight, she responded, “I’m not going to the fucking White House.” She then added, “We’re not gonna be invited…. I doubt it.”

For context, Rapinoe’s reaction is in keeping with her past political statements. She’s been an outspoken critic of President Trump and was one of the first white players to join Colin Kaepernick and other footballers in taking a knee during the national anthem back in 2016. Rapinoe is also part of her team’s discrimination lawsuit against U.S. Soccer.

Later on Wednesday morning, Trump responded to Rapinoe’s comments in a series of three tweets. “Women’s soccer player, @mPinoe, just stated that she is ‘not going to the F…ing White House if we win.’ Other than the NBA, which now refuses to call owners, owners (please explain that I just got Criminal Justice Reform passed, Black unemployment is at the lowest level…in our Country’s history, and the poverty index is also best number EVER), leagues and teams love coming to the White House. I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We haven’t yet….invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!”

While Rapinoe has yet to speak out about Trump’s tweets, many others have taken to social media about his remarks. Adam Serwer, a staff writer at The Atlantic, wrote, “Trump is now going after Megan Rapinoe because the ‘f**k your feelings’ president flips out when members of groups targeted by his policies criticize him rather than knowing their place. I might add that for all the thoroughly insincere ‘free speech’ rhetoric from his supporters, Trump most frequently deploys his authority as head of state to chill criticism of himself. Like it’s not even close.”

Journalist Jemele Hill also came out in support of Rapinoe. “So as I’ve said previously about @mPinoe: Given this administration’s attitude toward the LGBTQ community (which they’ve enacted into policy), how do people not understand why she is upset,” Hill tweeted.

But some applauded Trump for inviting the team to the White House in the midst of his tweets. “Megan Rapinoe insults the president and the president still invites the US Women’s Soccer team to the White House win or lose after the World Cup. This is a big win for Trump. He makes Rapinoe look small here,” wrote Fox Sports Radio host Clay Travis.

Rapinoe isn’t the first athlete to decline an invitation to visit Trump’s White House. Last year, after the Golden State Warriors won the NBA title, the team opted out of meeting with the president.

Melania Trump’s Former Aide Stephanie Grisham Will Be the White House Press Secretary


The White House has set records with its rate of staff turnover, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders left another spot open when she announced on June 13 that she would leave her post as press secretary this summer. Her seat won’t be empty for long.

This week her replacement was announced. On Tuesday, Melania Trump shared that someone from her own team—Stephanie Grisham, her deputy chief of staff and communications director—would replace Sanders and handle press issues for the president and his administration.

In a rare move, Trump followed her husband’s example and announced the news on Twitter. “I am pleased to announce @StephGrisham45 will be the next @PressSec & Comms Director! She has been with us since 2015 – @potus & I can think of no better person to serve the Administration & our country. Excited to have Stephanie working for both sides of the @WhiteHouse. #BeBest,” she wrote.

President Trump also discussed the news with reporters and called Grisham a “fantastic” choice for the role. “Stephanie has been with me from the beginning,” he said. “A lot of people wanted the job; a lot of people wanted to do it. I’ve asked people, ‘Who do you like?’ and so many people said Stephanie. She’s here, she knows everyone, she actually gets along with the media very well.”

Grisham is one of the rare officials who have been with the Trumps since the 2016 campaign, and she’s had multiple roles within the administration. She previously worked as a deputy to former press secretary Sean Spicer, who resigned in 2017. She’ll be Trump’s sixth press secretary in three years.

During her tenure on the First Lady’s team, Grisham emerged as an outspoken and controversial force who often responded to criticism directly on Twitter, much like her new boss. She took issue with the media focusing on Melania Trump’s “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?” jacket, and defended Trump amid criticism that her antibullying campaign was at odds with her husband’s inappropriate and misogynistic rhetoric.

“I think that, honestly, one thing really doesn’t have anything to do with the other, and she is focused on helping children,” Grisham said at the time. “She has said many times that her husband is an adult, he’s the president of the United States, he knows what he’s doing, and she’s focused on Be Best, she’s focused on children. Children are the ones who are impressionable right now, and so she’s going to go out there and do the best that she can to help them succeed.”
