This week on Get Canceled, Sheryl and her guest take a moment to remind everyone that there is always someone uglier or worse off than you, so relax.  Then they get into the AI take over and how retarded humanity will become as well as all the misinformation being pumped into the mainstream as books, dictionaries, and encyclopedias become obsolete.  Just as society has become fake with the replacement of AI, such is the case with beauty and Looksmaxxing.  The images we see on social media are not real; however, the consequences of this messaging are.  As people move from a tangible world to a virtual one, it is clear people are losing their grip on what is normal.  It has even gone as far as parents pimping out their children in the form of child influencers.  Get Canceled is here to break is all down on today's episode by calling out the bullshit. Get Canceled Confessions:  Please continue to send your confessions - the good, the bad, and definitely the dirty -  to getcanceledinfo@gmail.com and Sheryl will read them on the show!DISCLAIMER: This show is for entertainment purposes only.  The views expressed by the guests do not necessarily reflect the views of Get Canceled.  All guests remain anonymous.If you enjoy, please rate review subscribe and share!Have you or someone you love been canceled?  Sheryl wants to hear from you! Email: getcanceledinfo@gmail.comX: @GetCanceledPodwww.getcanceled.com

Gay men are perhaps the most aesthetic community out there: gym routines, filler, hair plugs, veneers, BBLs, skincare, holetox, steroids, and even surgery. This episode dives into the “looksmaxing” of it all, and other trends that inform (or infect) our community. Is everyone who gets cosmetic surgery insecure? Are you toxic for having a really strict gym regimen? How do we draw the line between affirming aesthetic body modification and unhealthy impulses informed by cultural pressure? Answering these questions with us are two guests: nurse practitioner “Injector Chris” and therapist Benjamin Goldman. Hungry for more Sniffies’ Cruising Confessions?

Tonight's episode is a remastered version of one of the first stories ever released on the podcast. The original version covered cosmetics and perfumes; in this new version we expanded the history of cosmetics and left the history of perfumes for a future story. The new material covers the influence of Hollywood and flapper culture, women who helped build the modern beauty industry, dangerous cosmetics and the rise of regulation, makeup during World War II, and the changing beauty culture of the 1950s and 1960s. We also explore the history of cosmetics, as we did in the original story, from ancient pigments and Egyptian kohl to Japanese beauty traditions, and more.

Are Tall Women Actually the Beauty Standard? | When Being Tall Doesn't Fit the Model Ideal

Beauty standards are constantly changing, especially for women. That's why you can't chase them unless you wanna run forever. But what we consider beautiful today isn't necessarily what people considered beautiful 50 years ago, 20 years ago, or even 5 years ago. Different body types and shapes, hairstyles and colors, eye shapes and colors, skin tones – those have gone in and out of style, and social media has made those shifts even more obvious.  And when it comes to height, there's this idea that tall women are the beauty standard, especially because many people look up to models. And models are tall.So today, we're gonna talk about this. We're gonna discuss whether or not tall women are actually the beauty standard, even though so many people have a lot to say about our bodies, and we're gonna discuss how when many people refer to tall women being the beauty standard, they're really talking about one specific image/version of tall.

Text the show! America didn't run out of beautiful women. We stopped allowing them to become icons.For decades, every generation produced a bombshell America could recognize from a silhouette: Marilyn Monroe, Farrah Fawcett, Cindy Crawford, Pamela Anderson and Angelina Jolie. Today, Sydney Sweeney may be the only contender—and every time she uses her beauty, the cultural referees question whether she can still be taken “seriously.”The old beauty standard was too narrow. But instead of widening the fantasy, Hollywood, advertising and the fashion industry began treating aspiration itself as the problem.In this Monologue Monday, Chad Law draws on his experience as a licensed cosmetologist and former advertising executive to examine:• Why women never stopped wanting glamour• How Hollywood franchises replaced movie stars• Why social media destroyed the mystery bombshells require• How performance marketing made advertising uglier• The contradiction between body positivity and GLP-1 adoption• Why clients now bring AI-generated women into salons as inspiration• How Victoria's Secret finally learned to combine inclusion with aspiration• The difference between advertising that acts as a mirror and advertising that opens a windowThe culture removed real women like Cindy Crawford in the name of eliminating unattainable standards—then replaced them with AI women who were never born and whose hair does not obey physics.The answer was never fewer bombshells. It was a longer guest list.More ages. More races. More shapes. More women allowed to be extraordinary.CHAPTERS:00:00 Where Have All the Bombshells Gone?01:11 When Glamour Needed a Permission Slip04:03 The Fix Was More Kinds of Extraordinary09:29 Beautiful Women Must Now Be “Serious”14:28 The Body-Positivity Paradox17:15 Why Hollywood Stopped Making Stars19:22 Social Media Killed the Mystery20:51 We Replaced Real Women With AI25:30 How Performance Marketing Made Ads Ugly28:48 Victoria's Secret Lost—and Found—Its Identity34:14 Mirrors, Windows and the Return of AspirationVisit https://chadparkerlaw.com for Chad's books, the free Common Sense Conservative Manifesto and The GAILY NEWS.Questions, arguments or objections?

In French, when someone is beautiful, you can say they're  ‘canon'. The word itself means a general law, rule, princely or criteria by which something is judged, but when it comes to beauty it is simply means model that we elevate to the level of perfection. Except that this model has changed a lot over the centuries and across cultures. Those who are considered “canons” today would have been considered ugly in another era.  And some of the beauty standards of the past would probably look downright grotesque to us today.

Sarah Hoover is a bestselling author, art historian and cultural critic whose memoir, The Motherload: Episodes from the Brink of Motherhood, offers a brutally candid account of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum depression and the complicated realities of becoming a mother.In this episode, Sarah joins me for an honest, funny and at times uncomfortable conversation about the parts of motherhood women still aren't supposed to say out loud. We talk about her traumatic first birth, struggling to bond with her son, postpartum depression, rage and resentment, and what it feels like when the experience you were told would be the happiest of your life is anything but. We also get into maternal ambivalence, the pressure to be endlessly grateful, losing your identity after having a baby, and why admitting that motherhood is incredibly hard doesn't mean you don't love your children.But this conversation is definitely not all heavy. We also get into beauty standards and how they've changed, our complicated relationship with aging and wanting to look good, makeup, personal style, the aesthetics we're collectively tired of, and what our beauty choices say about the culture we're living in. Sarah has such a sharp, funny perspective on the expectations placed on women—from how we're supposed to mother to how we're supposed to look—and we talk about all of it.It's ultimately a conversation about motherhood, beauty, identity, culture and the things women are often thinking but don't always feel comfortable saying out loud.Thanks to my sponsors:Go to CLEARSTEM.com/WELL and use code WELL at checkout to get 15% off your first order.Use code ARIELLE15 for $15 off your first purchase at thirdlove.comVisit http://get.justthrivehealth.com/pages/well for a free 90-day supply of their new Digestive Bitters when you start a 90-day Just Thrive probiotic subscriptionHead to dose daily.co/WELL to get 35% off your first subscriptionDownload the Vinted app for free and start listingOrion is offering our listeners 15% off at Orion.com/well.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Check out start.nurp.com/doctors  to learn more. ---- What do Canadian football, the trad wife movement, lip filler, gym culture, and climate change have in common? Somehow, Tim and May connect them all in another unfiltered episode of BS Free MD. The conversation kicks off with a nostalgic tribute to the Canadian Football League before taking a detour into bizarre climate headlines, including whether changing temperatures could threaten bird populations. From there, Tim and May dive into one of social media's hottest debates: the rise of the "trad wife." Are traditional family roles making a comeback, or has the internet turned the concept into something it was never meant to be? The hosts unpack the cultural shift, discuss why healthy partnerships don't fit neatly into internet labels, and share their own perspective on balancing careers, marriage, and family. Then it's time for one of Tim's favorite rants: cosmetic filler. From duck lips and body dysmorphia to plastic surgery trends and why saying "no" can be the best medical advice, they examine how social media and unrealistic beauty standards continue to reshape expectations. The episode wraps with an entertaining discussion on gym culture, attention-seeking fashion trends, and why confidence doesn't have to come with an exaggerated filter. As always, expect humor, strong opinions, and plenty of tangents along the way. In This Episode Why Tim still believes Canadian football is more entertaining than the NFL The surprising climate change story involving bird populations What the "trad wife" movement actually means—and what it doesn't Healthy marriages versus internet stereotypes Social media's influence on beauty standards Why facial filler can quickly go too far Body dysmorphia, cosmetic procedures, and knowing when enough is enough Gym fashion, attention, and modern fitness culture Tim's thoughts on plastic surgery versus injectable fillers A reminder that confidence doesn't come from social media trends Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Using examples like having a zit, they discuss how body shame spirals come from learned beliefs about worth and failure, and how "health" is frequently used as a socially acceptable cover for body hatred, disordered eating, and orthorexic behaviors. They explore the head-to-heart disconnect, the survival brain's role, the impact of oppression and weight stigma, and how "diet hope" offers false security while body neutrality supports living life despite discomfort.     02:13 Zit Example and Identity 04:38 Orthorexia and Fitness Culture 08:31 Thought Experiments on Health 12:34 Food Shame and Healing 15:57 Moral vs Emotional Neutrality 24:08 Politics Systems and Dissonance 27:47 Head to Heart Disconnect 30:32 False Safety of Thinness 31:34 Patriarchy and Slenderness Trap 33:23 Signs of Body Neutrality 44:41 Beauty Standards and Power 45:41 Complicity and Conscious Choices     WANT MORE OF JESSI? *Buy her book!

Send us Fan MailThe hair aisle has a script, and it's been playing in our heads for years: control, tame, smooth, fight frizz, define curls. When I hear those words, I don't just think about Black hair products, I think about beliefs and the quiet way beauty marketing trains us to see textured hair as a problem that needs a solution. So I'm asking a bigger question than “who made the rules” about beauty standards. Are Black hair products solving problems or selling them, and what did it cost Black women to believe those messages?I walk through how advertising language shapes self-image, from the idea of hair needing to “behave” to the way straight hair was positioned as professional and presentable. I also revisit the nostalgia and harm wrapped up in kid-focused relaxer marketing, plus the uncomfortable truth behind some of the images that helped sell those products. Then I fast-forward to the natural hair movement and the way the industry pivoted, swapping straightness promises for a new kind of pressure: perfect curl definition, perfect edges, and perfect routines.We also get practical about what hair products and labels don't tell you. “Anti-frizz” can hide the difference between texture and damage, and many hair growth products ignore the real issue: hair retention, breakage, dryness, tension, or even medical concerns. Black hair products can support healthy hair care, but no bottle can override biology, and sometimes the biggest change is the habit shift a product inspires.If you've ever wondered whether you're buying a cream or buying an expectation, hit play.

Send us Fan MailIvy braids are trending, but the internet's reactions reveal a much bigger conversation about Black hair, beauty standards, and the language we use to describe textured hairstyles.In this episode of Hair What I'm Saying, I explore why a textured, boho-inspired braid style sparked debates about what is considered neat, polished, professional, and acceptable. We unpack the difference between personal preference and internalized beauty standards, and why so many of us have been taught to associate certain hair textures and styles with respectability.I also share powerful listener comments, including a story from someone who once asked her bank if braids were acceptable at work. Together, we examine what that says about conformity, permission, and the quiet ways workplace culture shapes how Black women navigate their hair.From the Tignon Laws to modern-day Black hair discrimination and the CROWN Act, this episode connects the past to the present and asks an important question: Who made the rules for professional hair, and why don't we question them more often?By the end of this conversation, Ivy braids become less about a hairstyle and more about identity, self-expression, and the standards we've inherited without realizing it.If this episode resonates with you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Skincare, makeup, and beauty treatments. When did they first pop up on our spending radar and why? This week’s Deep Dive gets a little… deep. Bec and Jess discuss the cost of beauty standards: who sets them, sustains them, and how we might look at the whole topic with a raised (and sometimes fluffed) eyebrow. Because, whether you overtly subscribe to them or not, beauty standards don’t just affect folks who love a trend, they have the tendency to impact our spending habits and perceptions of value, and even our self worth. And it’s not just women either, just consider the whole looksmaxxing thing. Between the double standards, unrealistic expectations, and self-expression of it all, how have our perceptions around beauty shifted and what are we really buying into? From body hair to full-coverage foundation and the rituals of getting ready, tune in if you’ve ever wondered what we really think about the price of pretty, how we’re feeling about ‘preventative’ measures, and which standards we’re willing to bin at our next earliest convenience.

Egyptian print media has historically functioned as a cultural barometer, shifting from the early official bulletins of the 20th century into a relentless and aggressive form of capitalism on steroids. Professor Bahia Shehab discusses her book, "A Trade in Dreams: A Century of Egyptian Print Advertising", unpacking how visual culture has been both a witness to and a victim of political upheaval. Her research illuminates a century where advertising functioned as legalized psychological operations, deeply embedded in the daily life of Cairo. By dissecting the visual language of the past, she provides a necessary framework for understanding the mono-culture and flattening of aesthetic diversity in the modern era.   00:00 Introduction 01:32 Invention of the Egyptian Press 04:00 The Business Model of Early Advertising 05:50 Motivations for Researching Advertising History 08:20 Discoveries in Beauty Standards and Race 09:55 Sequential Chronology and Political Tectonic Shifts 12:13 Napoleon, Egyptomania, and Early Visual Communication 17:14 1920s–1940s: Agriculture and the Tobacco Export Industry 20:00 Professionalization and Multinational Ad Agencies 22:31 Hybrid Aesthetics: International vs. Local Design 27:21 The Nasser Era: Socialism and Nationalized Media 30:57 The Sadat Era: Peace Treaties and the Open Door Policy 32:33 Influential Figures and the Silencing of Female Voices 37:01 Domination of the Soap Industry 48:58 The 1940s: The Golden Age of Egyptian Advertising 57:04 Egypt's Leading Role in Regional Advertising 59:08 Book Tour and Future Perspectives   Bahia Shehab is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, political activist and historian whose work focuses on the interaction and intersection of modern identity and ancient cultural heritage. Her imaginative combination of calligraphy and Islamic art history produced cutting edge, beautiful, impactful street art during the Arab Spring and continues to inform her work as an educator and designer. Having always been concerned with identity and preserving cultural heritage, she investigates art history to reinterpret contemporary Arab politics, feminist discourse and social issues. Her culturally oriented work enables her to use history as a means to better understand the present and find solutions for the future. She believes that art may be employed for the purposes of social change and has explored this phenomenon through her artwork, which focuses on socially charged themes such as the Arab identity and women's rights. Her research is largely concerned with understanding the Arabic letters and has been preoccupied with Arabic calligraphy in much of her work. Her work has been displayed in exhibitions around the world and she has received several awards and recognition for her achievements.   Connect with Bahia Shehab

Season 6 of Hair What I'm Saying starts with a clear promise: we're not just talking about hair, we're talking about what hair reveals about history, identity, and the stories that shape how we see ourselves in the mirror.We get into how Black hair has been studied, marketed, politicized, and monetized, and how entire industries have grown around telling us what's “acceptable,” what's “professional,” and what needs to be “fixed.” Along the way, we talk about the moment many of us stop asking questions and start accepting routines and rules as fact. I'm inviting you to pull those messages apart and look at what's underneath them: beauty standards, inherited narratives, and billion-dollar incentives that don't always align with our well-being.And let me be clear: Black hair care is not a scam. Our traditions aren't a scam. Protective styling isn't a scam. Taking care of your hair isn't a scam. What we are challenging is the marketing and messaging that can make you feel like your hair must be controlled or transformed to be worthy.

This is the second part of a 2-part series, so if you haven’t listened to part 1 (published on April 21, 2026), please listen to that first. In part 1, we explain who Clavicular is, how the media elevated him to national prominence, and why his looksmaxxing ideology is just a new veneer on old tropes of self-harm and white supremacy. What happens when a teenage boy spends his formative years on incel forums, starts injecting steroids at 14, hits himself in the face with a hammer in the name of self-improvement, injects his underage girlfriend with unlicensed substances on a live stream — and the response from mainstream media is a New York Times profile and a Fashion Week runway? This week we're digging into looksmaxxing: where it actually came from, what the TikTok version obscured, and why a movement rooted in white supremacist beauty standards got repackaged as self-help. Then we talk about Braden Peters, the influencer known as Clavicular, and make the case that the media didn't just cover his rise — it manufactured it.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Latrisha McIntosh and LaTasha Taylor. Founders of BSM Media Group and the award‑winning BSM Magazine. The conversation covers beauty standards, entrepreneurship, their journey from a one-page blog during the recession to becoming media entrepreneurs, the highs and lows of their career, their spiritual grounding, their historic interview with Oprah Winfrey, and their mission to create dignified, uplifting media. Purpose of the Interview The interview serves to: ⭐ Highlight the twins’ entrepreneurial journey How they built BSM Magazine and BSM Media Group from scratch during the 2008 recession. ⭐ Discuss their philosophy on beauty, representation, and purpose They emphasize inner beauty, authenticity, and rejecting societal pressure—values that shape their platform and interviews. ⭐ Inspire entrepreneurs Through transparency about lows (being undervalued) and highs (interviewing Oprah), they demonstrate resilience, faith, and consistency. ⭐ Showcase their impact Including discovering rising talent early (e.g., Tabitha Brown), providing media opportunities, and evolving into producers, writers, and content creators. Key Takeaways 1. The Origin of BSM Magazine Started as a one‑page business blog during the 2008 recession to serve rising entrepreneurs. They credit the magazine’s creation as “something that God gave us.” Their natural creativity as twins carried over from childhood. 2. Inner Beauty and Authenticity They define beauty as inner strength, confidence, and embracing the way God created you. Social media culture magnifies appearance, but they insist “outer beauty must align with inner beauty.” 3. Sustaining Success Their differentiation comes from focusing on: Quality content Spotlighting overlooked talent Doing things mainstream outlets often ignore They interviewed Tabitha Brown before she became widely known and gave actress Essence Atkins her first magazine cover. 4. Challenges and Low Points Being undervalued and overlooked in the media industry. Being judged by numbers or pushed to the back of the line. Yet, they emphasize:“That ‘no’ comes back around … bigger and better.” 5. High Points Their divine‑timed interview with Oprah in April 2018: They put Oprah on a vision board in January. LaTasha tweeted her daily for six months. Oprah unexpectedly turned around on the red carpet and approached them for an interview.This became a milestone moment in their career. 6. Operating a Media Company as Twins They learned to respect each other’s strengths: LaTasha: writing, articles, layouts Latrisha: creative direction and balance Their partnership is spiritually rooted and purpose-driven. 7. Expanding Beyond a Magazine The magazine now lives under BSM Media Group, which produces: Celebrity content Corporate and government media The Twins a Media Show They evolved into scriptwriters, producers, and consultants. 8. Longevity Comes From Quality They prioritize: Clean, dignified media Positive storytelling Production standards They tell entrepreneurs not to focus on numbers—focus on quality, and longevity will follow. Notable Quotes On Beauty “Inner beauty has such a powerful way of allowing us to be our true selves.” “Embrace your eyes, your nose, your hips—all the way God made you.” “Imagine if everybody operated in their own lane. That signifies beauty at its highest level.” On Entrepreneurship “We realized we were in the business of seeing people—because we were the underdogs.” “Don’t worry about your numbers. Quality will always stand.” “Sometimes your visions are crazy, and they don’t make sense to people—but believe anyway.” On Overcoming Doubt “A low point is being undervalued—but God has a sense of humor. That ‘no’ comes back around.” “We’ve heard it all. You need layers of skin to accept when someone thinks you're not good enough.” On Their Oprah Moment “She turned around, walked past everyone, and came straight to us.” “Nobody but God—and a little effort from Tasha!” On Partnership “God made us twins for a reason.

This week I'm sitting down with my longtime manager and close friend, Chelsea Becker--the type A to my type B--for an honest conversation about beauty, hormones, motherhood, ambition and what “having it all” actually looks like in this phase of life. We talk about navigating life with and without kids, the selflessness motherhood brings, and what we'd struggle with most if we switched roles. We get into the scrutiny women face in the public eye, the hypocrisy around criticizing women for being transparent, and why I regret talking so openly about certain procedures. We discuss whether confident, secure women can still want to change their appearance and why that conversation feels so charged. On the beauty side, we break down the advice we got in our 20s that turned out to be a lie, the things we did as teens that now make us cringe, honest thoughts on peptides, basic laser protocols, the treatments I like for fine lines and pigmentation and how to find a provider you actually trust. We also talk about periods getting worse with age, perimenopause symptoms no one prepares you for and how hormones shift everything from your skin to your workouts. On the fitness side, we get real about maintaining consistency with two young kids and a business, at-home workout recommendations, why we're not chasing a certain physique at 40 (except maybe the Kardashian arm!) and focusing on strength and longevity instead. We also share a writing exercise to optimize your life, how recovery principles shape the way we approach beauty and ambition, and what being of service actually means in this season. It's layered, funny, self-aware and very much a conversation between two women figuring it out in real time.Get 30 days free & $30 off of Waking Up at https://wakingup.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=3&aff_id=89This episode is brought to you by:Go to CLEARSTEM.com/WELL and use code WELL at checkout to get 15% off your first order.Get $25 off your first purchase when you go to TheRealReal.com/well.Head to armra.com/WELL or enter WELL to get 30% off your first subscription order.Visit Ritual.com/BLONDE for 25% off your first month.Go to fatty15.com/WELL and use code WELL at checkout for an additional 15% off their Starter Kit.Visit livemomentous.com and use promo code well for up to 35% off your first order.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

AI isn't just helping you write emails—it's shaping beauty standards, influencing elections, replacing jobs, generating music, and possibly rewriting reality itself. In this unfiltered conversation, Lindsey + Krista explore the cultural, spiritual, and economic implications of artificial intelligence. From AI influencers to blackmailing bots, autonomous coding, artificial womb technology, and the manifesto to replace human labor, this episode dives into the race toward AGI and what it means for humanity. Together, K+L explore whether AI is inevitable—or simply a narrative we've accepted. This episode is all about discernment. It's about staying human, protecting your creativity, strengthening your intuition, and deciding how you want to engage with technology in a world that feels increasingly synthetic. If you've felt fascinated, disturbed, or unsure about AI—this is for you.  We also talk about: AI-generated porn + its impact on relationships The potential for emotional + relational attachment to AI technology How AI could shape the future of content creation, writing, and artistic voice Balancing AI for efficiency while protecting original thought + creativity How younger generations may grow up with AI as a constant companion or support system The economic tension between productivity gains + potential job displacement Why discernment + emotional intelligence may become more valuable skills in the AI era Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.
