Asserting that makeup can do little beyond creating a fleeting illusion of youth and beauty, cosmetics giant Revlon launched a new series of ads this week aimed at reminding its customers they will never be able to change what they are.

The company’s “You Are What You Are” campaign, which debuted with dark and haunting multi-page spreads in several major fashion magazines, cautions consumers that, at best, makeup is a sad disguise people hide behind in a futile attempt to avoid uncomfortable facts about their true nature.

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of an acquaintance, after she posted artwork from here…

Jennifer H.:

“Ouch!… You’re standing on my neck!”
“Well, that’s one point of view… But, one could also say that you’re trying to trip me with your neck…”
“You see, in teh postmodern condition, we create our own reality based upon our internalized preconceptions. Since there is no longer one objective truth, we are free to create our own truth… So, you see, there is no right and wrong – just an infinite number of equally valid ‘stories’.”
“But you’re still standing on my neck!”
“You never went to college, did you?”

Danielle J.: Or his neck is pushing against his shoe lmfao

Jennifer H.: Some people would say that!

Jennifer H.: People who really, really want to step on your neck will try to convince everyone that your neck is pushing against their shoe.

Danielle J.: Lmao I’ve taken many philosophy classes

Danielle J.: Crazy

Danielle J.: haha

Rayn: Yes, indeed! Also, reading this comic has triggered the Daria theme song to play in my head on repeat!

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “V is for Voluntary“…

Rayn:

“To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so.
To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished… then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, villified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed;” – Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Keith M.: he’s cute with words i like his style playful yet to the point.

Rayn: Indeed! He’s definitely got a way with words! 🙂

Adam G.: Ah, Proudhon…
