makeupalley cafe board

the otherwise excellent makeupalley beauty and wellbeing website’s weak spot is the cafe board. there is teenage angst re boys and relationships, looks, unfair parents; derogatory comments about mothers-in-law (watch your back if your son gets an mua girlfriend); disgust re pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding – oh, and pubic hair; childless posters who apparently have the expertise to comment upon child-rearing practices and the inadequacies of parents; nauseating fawning over pets, yet many us cats are subjected to onychectomy, a practice prohibited or restricted in many countries; bragging posts by the s-xually ‘daring’ who aren’t doing anything different, just making more ‘look at me’ noise about it; bashing of and ignorance about feminism, history, the world; pointless posts about p–ping (grow up and let us eat our snacks at the computer in peace); film and book recommendations that are usually lowest common denominator formulaic rubbish. the format of the board is chatroom-like, which is a strength, and sometimes there are posters with whom it’s possible to have a respectful exchange of ideas, some truly liberated thinking, and real fun rather than a repet-tion of the same in-jokes. the board is dominated by americans so be politically incorrect or try a little subtle humour at your peril. finally, be prepared for some eye-rollingly ignorant posts when the banned topic of religion rears its head, and remember that correct spelling is beyond a majority of the posters, most of whom don’t have the excuse of english being their second language.
makeupalley cafe board is where i will learn that ‘most people that call themselves feminists are actually mysogynists’ and that having pubic hair is unhygienic
a subdivision of the internet site makeupalley. the cafe’ message board is the place where all of the fat, middle-aged, cat-loving (yeah, don’t make a joke about cats, you’ll be attacked for ages) who are members on makeupalley decide to spend all day and all night creating drama, throwing a b-tchfest, and picking apart every message posted to find some way to start a problem. they’re constantly talking bad about celebrities and pretty people (out of jealousy and to make themselves feel better because we all know they’re all ugly and fat) and they all like to divulge every personal aspect of their lives (how all of their husbands cheat on them, how they’re drunk every night, etc). they get cheated on because they spend too much time online and are too dramatic. most of them have no job or the job that they have is entry level, yet they can afford expensive things because they drive a 1990 camry and live in a c-ckroach infested hole in the wall. the favorite topics for the women on the cafe’ board are usually: s-x, bashing of celebrities, anorexia (everyone is anorexic in their eyes), declawing, pregnancy, marriage, and pretty much anything that can be turned into a dramafest.
“i go on the makeupalley cafe’ board for my daily dose of drama.”
“ok honey, go cheat on me again, i’ll be on the makeupalley cafe’ board getting fatter and wasting time with a bunch if middle-aged crazy women.”
“let me go make myself feel better by talking on the makeupalley cafe’ board about how anorexic or ugly all the celbrities look”
yet another lame definition written by someone with an axe to grind (see: beautybash)

the cafe is the message board for any/all topics. there are some great and helpful women there. and all are welcome, as long as they don’t start trouble.
the makeupalley cafe’ board is a great way to kill time.
