During the '80s, mannequins set the beauty trends—and real women were expected to follow. The dummies were "coming to life," while the ladies were breathing anesthesia and going under the knife. The beauty industry promoted a "return to femininity" as if it were a revival of natural womanhood—a flowering of all those innate female qualities supposedly suppressed in the feminist '70s. Yet the "feminine" traits the industry celebrated most were grossly unnatural—and achieved with increasingly harsh, unhealthy, and punitive measures.

The beauty industry, of course, has never been an advocate of feminist aspirations. This is not to say that its promoters have a conscious political program against women's rights, just a commercial mandate to improve on the bottom line. And the formula the industry has counted on for many years—aggravating women's low self-esteem and high anxiety about a "feminine" appearance—has always served them well. (American women, according to surveys by the Kinsey Institute, have more negative feelings about their bodies than women in any other culture studied.) The beauty makers' motives aren't particularly thought out or deep. Their overwrought and incessant instructions to women are more mindless than programmatic; their frenetic noise generators create more static than substance. But even so, in the '80s the beauty industry belonged to the cultural loop that produced backlash feedback. Inevitably, publicists for the beauty companies would pick up on the warning signals circulating about the toll of women's equality, too—and amplify them for their own purposes.

"Is your face paying the price of success?" worried a 1988 Nivea skin cream ad, in which a business-suited woman with a briefcase rushes a child to day care and catches a glimpse of her career-pitted skin in a store window. If only she were less successful, her visage would be more radiant. "The impact of work stress . . . can play havoc with your complexion," Mademoiselle warned; it can cause "a bad case of dandruff," "an eventual loss of hair" and, worst of all, weight gain. Most at risk, the magazine claimed, are "high-achieving women," whose comely appearance can be ravaged by "executive stress." In ad after ad, the beauty industry hammered home its version of the backlash thesis: women's professional progress had downgraded their looks; equality had created worry lines and cellulite. This message was barely updated from a century earlier, when the late Victorian beauty press had warned women that their quest for higher education and employment was causing "a general lapse of attractiveness" and "spoiling complexions."

The beauty merchants incited fear about the cost of women's occupational success largely because they feared, rightly, that that success had cost them—in profits. Since the rise of the women's movement in the '70s, cosmetics and fragrance companies had suffered a decade of flat-to-declining sales, hair-product merchandisers had fallen into a prolonged slump, and hairdressers had watched helplessly as masses of female customers who were opting for simple low-cost cuts defected to discount unisex salons. In 1981, Revlon's earnings fell for the first time since 1968; by the following year, the company's profits had plunged a record 40 percent. The industry aimed to restore its own economic health by persuading women that they were the ailing patients—and professionalism their ailment. Beauty became medicalized as its lab-coated army of promoters, and real doctors, prescribed physician-endorsed potions, injections for the skin, chemical "treatments" for the hair, plastic surgery for virtually every inch of the torso. (One doctor even promised to reduce women's height by sawing their leg bones.) Physicians and hospital administrators, struggling with their own financial difficulties, joined the industry in this campaign. Dermatologists faced with a shrinking teen market switched from treating adolescent pimples to "curing" adult female wrinkles. Gynecologists and obstetricians frustrated with a sluggish birthrate and skyrocketing malpractice premiums traded their forceps for liposuction scrapers. Hospitals facing revenue shortfalls opened cosmetic-surgery divisions and sponsored extreme and costly liquid-protein diet programs.

The beauty industry may seem the most superficial of the cultural institutions participating in the backlash, but its impact on women was, in many respects, the most intimately destructive—to both female bodies and minds. Following the orders of the '80s beauty doctors made many women literally ill. Antiwrinkle treatments exposed them to carcinogens. Acid face peels burned their skin. Silicone injections left painful deformities. "Cosmetic" liposuction caused severe complications, infections, and even death. Internalized, the decade's beauty dictates played a role in exacerbating an epidemic of eating disorders. And the beauty industry helped to deepen the psychic isolation that so many women felt in the '80s, by reinforcing the representation of women's problems as purely personal ills, unrelated to social pressures and curable only to the degree that the individual woman succeeded in fitting the universal standard—by physically changing herself.

My Eyes Fall Shut (and my Heart Loves You Again)

୨୧ Pantalone x F!Reader

Reader experiences memory loss after an unspecified event and lands herself in a room under the care of Baizhu before a certain Harbinger pays her a visit.

A small peek from one of my Pantalone drafts ! Still a work in progress but wanted to share this small snippet with someone 🫶 Notes and reblogs are always appreciated! Not beta read

The gentleness of silk and cloth devoured your figure, your body laid in a comfortable mattress. The aroma of tea filled your senses as your eyes fluttered open.

The crowned ceiling greets you first as your focus shifts around the room, your sight lays on a green-haired bespectacled man that seemed to be accompanied by an ivory snake. Your head suddenly felt heavy as an unexpected weight gave you a crushing headache. Your being felt numb,

"Ah! Miss, you're awake." The man smiled, his voice was pleasant and soothing. "Qiqi, kindly fetch me her documents, please." He asked the girl who seemed like a child beside him. She quietly nodded and showed herself out.

You hoisted yourself up, your back resting on the wooden headboard behind you. The physician—you assumed, reached out to help you get comfortable on the mattress.

You slightly flinched, every nerve in your body felt sensitive. You didn't know where you were, you didn't know him. Your mind told you to be defensive.

"Miss Y/N?" He seemed confused.

You completely brushed past the foreign name, was it supposed to be yours? Was he talking to you or somebody else? But nobody was in the room other than you and him. The name, it felt unfamiliar in your head.

"I'm truly sorry for asking but do you know where I am?" you mumbled, eyes shifting around once again.

You winced hearing a knock on the bamboo door of your room, the knob turned and the entry opened to reveal the child from earlier, holding a few pieces of paper.

"Dr. Baizhu, here are the documents you asked for." Qiqi said softly, her small fingers handing the items to the doctor.

Baizhu promptly thanked Qiqi. As he did so, another person followed into the room. The man had long deep bluish black hair, eyes with violet hues that burned through transparent glasses adorned with chains. A black sleeveless bodysuit fit his figure paired with matching coloured pants and shoes. Dark gloves decorated his hands with silver rings around most fingers. His scent subtly filled the room—a soft vanilla and floral scent.

His eyes lingered on you for a while, slightly widened as if it was a surprise you were alive and breathing.

When he spoke, it was a gentle baritone, though something put you off about him. You weren't sure what it was but it sent shivers down your spine despite the room having a typically warmer temperature.

"Ah. The Regrator. I assume you came to visit our patient here? You're usually not this late every day, no?" Baizhu forced a smile at him, even if you didn't know him all that well, you could tell how his features tensed up and tightened in the other's presence.

"I had some business to take care of. You know the responsibilities of heading Northland Bank." The "Regrator" mirrored the same smile. Their similarities were uncanny. His gaze suddenly turned to you, to which it was your turn to tense up. "How is she?"

"There's no need to rush, Harbinger. After all, she had only woken up a few minutes ago. You're free to stay idle while I observe her though." He replied, gesturing to the spot behind him which would give the other man access to see you properly.

Baizhu then turned to you, his gentleness never wavering.

"How do you feel? I suggest that you answer with honesty since I'm observing something different, behavior-wise."

Your nails dug into your skin, prints of crescents were printed in your skin with a slightly redder color. You felt faint, mind drawing to a blank as you scrambled for an answer to put into words. Alas, you remained silent for a few seconds before opening your mouth to speak.

"Pardon me, I'd address you as Dr. Baizhu, yes?"

The green-haired man simply nodded, a gentle smile still on his face. The man behind him though, the Regrator, his face a little dimmer than when he came in. His lips were turned into a visible purse.

"Yes. I suppose I'm doing alright… I awoke with a light migraine. I'm not sure how I ended up here, I do not have a recall of past events… I think. In fact, I wasn't sure you were talking to me earlier. Ah— I'm really sorry, I must've rambled about nonsensical things."

"No, no, no, dear. It's alright. Thank you for being honest." Baizhu nodded as he scribbled a few notes on the document that was brought in prior to the observation. Baizhu then turned to the bespectacled man behind him as Qiqi stepped forward to offer you some herbal tea. You thanked her, picking up the small cup, the warmth spreading from the tea to your skin. When your lips met the rim, a mild flavor of sweet grass entered. It was sugary but not too much. It was just right.

You eavesdropped on the two men's conversation about your condition, though you couldn't hear that much coherently. As you tried to observe what their expressions were, the Regrator shared a glance at you, eyebrows furrowed with eyes full of longing expressions. As if your condition was the most terrible thing that could have ever happened in the history of Teyvat. The ever-so-stoic (or so you assumed) Regrator's icy aura cracked under your unknowing gaze.

Fairytale, a Pointer Sisters cover, was recorded by Elvis in early 1975 and featured as an album track on Today, released in May of that year. It would remain in the live set right up to the end.

This joyous version was captured in a good quality audience recording during Elvis' dinner show in Las Vegas on August 20th, 1975. He's in such great form that it's actually quite hard to believe that following the second show that night, the engagement would be abruptly cancelled (just three nights in) and Elvis would be flown back to Memphis and admitted to hospital.

United Press international (UPI) issued a syndicated report on the sudden cancellation;

"…'He just got very tired and fatigued and we thought it would be best if he cut his show here short this time rather than run into complications', said Dr Elias Ghanem, the singer's Las Vegas physician. 'We can't find much wrong with him. One of the liver enzymes is elevated and what he needs is rest'…"

Dr Ghanem (1939-2001) enjoyed an enviable lifestyle from his business activities and from billing a number of wealthy and undoubtedly generous Las Vegas entertainers for treatment of, amongst other things, ‘Vegas Throat’ – raspy soreness caused by a combination of the dry desert air and the air-conditioning (and passive smoking) within the hotels and casinos. He was also a proponent of the sleep diet; a regimen of weight loss that appeared to involve the patient being sedated for much of the time and consuming liquid nutrition during rare moments of consciousness. Elvis himself had availed himself of this regime on at least one occasion.

The Irish Times wrote an obituary for Dr Ghanem upon his death from renal cancer in 2001.

"…He was Elvis Presley's personal physician, as well as the doctor for Elvis's posthumous son-in-law Michael Jackson. Although his patient list also included Liberace, Bill Cosby, Ann-Margret, and Virginia Kelley (the mother of former President Bill Clinton), it was Ghanem's relationship with The King which first brought him under the spotlight of unwanted notoriety. When ABC's television programme 20-20 reported that he had supplied the drugs which essentially killed Presley, Dr Ghanem threatened to sue - but he never did…"

The article also noted that Ghanem had been the subject of an FBI investigation over billing, but never charged, and that Colonel Parker had a financial interest in Ghanem's clinic situated conveniently adjacent to the Las Vegas Hilton.

"…Ghanem expanded his practice to include a chain of clinics around Las Vegas, treating literally thousands of patients. He proposed innovative umbrella health-insurance schemes long before they came into vogue, and signed contracts with the Hotel and Casino Workers' Union, by far the largest group of workers in Nevada. The arrangement was obviously a profitable one for Ghanem, but union leader John Wilhelm, recalled that during a protracted six-year strike at the Frontier Casino, Ghanem treated every worker free of charge and delivered over a hundred babies for the striking workers…"

Following the cancellation, Elvis was flown back to Memphis where he was admitted to a private suite on the top floor of Baptist Memorial Hospital. His next professional engagement was back in Las Vegas in December making up for the cancelled shows.

The History of Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy has been used for centuries as a healing tool, with its roots in ancient cultures such as the Greeks and Egyptians. However, it wasn't until the 18th century that hypnosis as we know it today was developed, with the work of Franz Mesmer, a German physician who believed that the power of suggestion could cure illnesses.

Mesmerism, as it was called, was popularized in the 19th century by James Braid, a Scottish physician who coined the term "hypnosis" and wrote extensively on the subject. From there, hypnotherapy continued to evolve and gain acceptance in the medical community as a valid form of therapy.

The Benefits of Hypnotherapy

Anxiety and stress

Depression

Insomnia

Pain management

Addiction

Phobias and fears

Weight loss

Smoking cessation

Performance enhancement

The Process of Hypnotherapy

The process of hypnotherapy typically involves an initial consultation where the therapist assesses the individual's needs and determines the goals of the therapy. The individual is then guided into a relaxed state through the use of guided imagery and suggestion. The therapist may use various techniques to address specific issues such as anxiety, phobias, or addiction. Hypnotherapy sessions typically last between 60 to 90 minutes and may require several sessions to achieve the desired results. Throughout the process, the individual remains in control and aware of their surroundings.

Overall, Hypnotherapy NYC is a powerful tool that can help you achieve your goals and improve your mental health.

According to sources, Melania is behind Donald Trump’s supposed weight loss

Former President Donald Trump was commended for his "excellent" health and "reduced" weight in a letter revealed by his doctors. This has stirred debate among Palm Beach residents, with some thinking that Trump may have taken weight loss medication such as Ozempic. According to a source, Trump's weight loss might be due to keeping away from the buffet at his Mar-a-Lago club and the support of his wife, Melania Trump. According to the insider, Melania has helped Trump lose at least 30 pounds and eat healthier.

Trump's personal physician, Dr. Bruce Aronwald, has previously indicated that Trump has lost weight through a healthier diet and increased physical activity. However, other people are skeptical about these statements. When Trump surrendered to Georgia authorities in August, his weight was purportedly listed as 215 pounds, which is 25 pounds lighter than when he was jailed back in April. Despite conjecture, there is no substantial evidence that Trump is taking weight-loss medications such as Ozempic or Wegovy. Another insider says that Trump stays busy through sports and generally looks well.

Donald Trump and his physicians released a letter complimenting his "excellent" health and "reduced" weight, prompting debate among Palm Beach residents regarding the former president's weight loss.

Some think that Trump, like practically every other celebrity in Hollywood, including Oprah Winfrey, may have used Ozempic or a comparable weight loss medication.

Signs and symptoms of prediabetes

Recognizing the Early Warning Signals: Understanding Prediabetes Symptoms

Have you ever experienced unexplained weight gain, increased thirst, or frequent urination? These seemingly innocent symptoms could be early warning signs of a condition called prediabetes, which affects millions of people worldwide. Knowing the symptoms and warning signs of prediabetes is essential if you want to take preventative measures for your health.

Describe Sarah, a busy professional in her late forties who works as a worker. Even after a decent night's sleep, Sarah began noticing that she was more weary than usual. She also noticed that she was constantly thirsty, no matter how much water she drank. Concerned about these changes, she decided to visit her doctor.

During her appointment, Sarah learned that these symptoms could be signs of prediabetes. The physician explained that higher than usual blood sugar levels, but not high enough for concern, is considered prediabetes. Recognizing these symptoms is crucial because Type 2 diabetes can develop from prediabetes if treatment is not received.

As Sarah delved deeper into her research, she discovered that prediabetes can manifest through various general symptoms. These symptoms include increased hunger, hazy vision, exhaustion, sluggish wound and bruise healing, and recurrent infections. Knowing these signs and symptoms can help individuals like Sarah identify their risk and seek appropriate treatment.

While prediabetes affects both men and women, Sarah realized that it can have specific symptoms that are more prevalent in females. These symptoms may include irregular menstrual cycles, increased facial hair, and dark patches on the skin. Understanding these gender-specific signs can be crucial in getting an accurate diagnosis and developing a personalized treatment plan.

As Sarah continued her research, she came across another term used to describe prediabetes: borderline diabetes. She learned that this term refers to the state between normal blood sugar levels and diabetes. Borderline diabetes symptoms include frequent urination, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, and unexplained weight loss.

A tingling sensation in her hands and feet caught Sarah's attention. She realized that she had been experiencing this symptom often, especially after prolonged periods of sitting or standing. Low blood sugar can cause nerve injury, and it could be an early warning sign of prediabetes.

Key Takeaways:

Unexplained weight gain, increased thirst, and frequent urination may be signs of prediabetes.

Blood sugar levels that are higher than typical but not high enough to be considered diabetes are known as prediabetes.

Prediabetes can manifest through various general symptoms, such as increased hunger, blurred vision, fatigue, and slow wound healing.

Specific symptoms of prediabetes in females may include irregular menstrual cycles, increased facial hair, and dark patches on the skin.

Borderline Diabetes is another term for prediabetes and may exhibit symptoms like frequent urination, tingling in the extremities, and unexplained weight loss.

What is Prediabetes?

Higher than normal blood sugar levels are considered prediabetes. It's an indicator that someone may be at risk of type 2 diabetes. Knowing the signs of prediabetes can help you determine whether you are at risk and take the appropriate action to delay or avoid developing diabetes.

General Symptoms of Prediabetes

Prediabetes, the precursor to type 2 diabetes, manifests through a variety of general symptoms. Recognizing these signs is vital for early detection and timely intervention. Here are some common indicators to watch out for:

Frequent urination: Individuals with prediabetes may experience an increased need to urinate, especially during the night.

Constant thirst: Feeling excessively thirsty, even after adequate fluids, can indicate prediabetes.

Unresolved weight loss: You may have prediabetes if you lose weight quickly without making significant dietary or exercise changes.

Increased hunger: Experiencing frequent hunger, even after having a meal, may be a symptom of prediabetes.

Fatigue: Persistent fatigue and lack of energy can be signs of prediabetes.

Clouded vision: Having trouble concentrating can cause high blood sugar levels.

Slow healing of wounds: Prediabetes can impair the body's ability to heal wounds, causing them to heal slower than usual.

Repeated infections: People with prediabetes may frequently get urinary tract infections or yeast infections.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis. With early detection and treatment, type 2 diabetes can be prevented or avoided. Changing one's lifestyle to combat prediabetes usually entails eating a healthier diet, getting more exercise, and controlling stress.

"It is essential to identify the common signs of prediabetes to take preventative action to safeguard your health and stop the development of type 2 diabetes."

By understanding and recognizing the general symptoms of prediabetes, you can take the first step towards controlling your health and lowering your chance of getting type 2 diabetes. Talk with an experienced doctor for an accurate diagnosis and advice on the best course of action.

References:

Symptom Prevalence in Females

Irregular Menstrual Periods Higher prevalence

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Commonly associated

Gestational Diabetes Increases risk

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) Elevated risk

Yeast Infections Higher occurrence

Borderline Diabetes Symptoms

Borderline Diabetes, also known as prediabetes, indicates an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Recognizing the specific symptoms associated with this condition is crucial for early detection and intervention. With this knowledge, you can manage your health and lower your chance of developing diabetes by taking preventative measures.

Common Borderline Diabetes Symptoms

Increased thirst: Frequent thirst and needing more fluids than usual can be a symptom of borderline diabetes. Excessive thirst is the body's inability to properly use and regulate insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.

Frequent urination: People with borderline diabetes may notice an increased frequency of urination. The body tries eliminating extra sugar by expelling it through urine, leading to frequent bathroom visits.

Unexplained weight loss: Despite consuming a normal or increased amount of food, individuals with borderline diabetes may experience unexplained weight loss. It is due to the body's inability to properly convert glucose into energy, forcing it to break down fat and muscle for fuel.

Exhausted: Fatigue and low blood sugar levels might be signs of borderline diabetes. In this condition, the body's inefficient use of insulin prevents cells from adequately absorbing glucose, decreasing overall energy levels.

Impaired vision: Diabetes may impact the eyes. It can cause blurred vision or difficulty focusing. Elevated blood sugar levels can result in changes to the shape of the lens and the fluid inside the eyes, leading to vision problems.

Slow-healing wounds: Individuals with borderline diabetes may experience slower healing of cuts, sores, or wounds. High blood sugar can hinder the body's capacity to heal damaged tissues, prolonging recovery.

Recognizing these symptoms and taking appropriate action is crucial for managing borderline diabetes and reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. If you experience any of these symptoms or suspect you may have borderline diabetes, For an accurate diagnosis and guidance, speaking with a healthcare provider is essential.

Prediabetes Symptoms Tingling

One of the symptoms that people with prediabetes may experience is tingling sensations in their hands and feet. This strange sensation can be unsettling, but it's essential to understand what it could mean and why it's happening.

Neuropathy can arise from damage to the body's nerves caused by high blood sugar levels. Tingling or numbness in the extremities is a common symptom of neuropathy and can be an indicator of prediabetes.

One possible explanation for these tingling sensations is that high blood sugar levels can impair normal nerve cell function. It can cause nerve damage over time, numbness, or a pins-and-needles sensation in the hands and feet.

It's important to note that tingling alone does not necessarily mean you are prediabetic. However, suppose you are experiencing this symptom along with other common signs, such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, or blurred vision. In that case, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and testing.

Managing Tingling Symptoms

If you are diagnosed with prediabetes and are experiencing tingling sensations, there are steps you can take to manage and alleviate these symptoms:

Check your blood sugar: Monitoring your blood sugar levels is essential for controlling prediabetes. It can also help you pinpoint the patterns and triggers causing your tingling feelings.

Adopt a healthy lifestyle: Lifestyle changes, strategies for maintaining a healthy weight, exercising frequently, and eating a balanced diet Will help enhance blood sugar regulation and lower the chance of nerve damage.

Manage stress: High-stress levels can contribute to elevated blood sugar levels. Stress-management techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and participating in pleasant activities reduce stress and alleviate tingling symptoms.

Take prescribed medications: In some cases, healthcare professionals may prescribe medications to help manage prediabetes and alleviate symptoms such as tingling. You must follow your doctor's instructions and take any prescribed drugs as instructed.

Visit your doctor regularly: Regular checkups with your doctor are essential for managing your prediabetes and monitoring any changes in symptoms or blood sugar levels. They can provide guidance, monitor your progress, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

You can lessen the chance of developing type 2 diabetes and additional nerve damage by actively managing your prediabetes and collaborating with your healthcare practitioner.

Risk Factors for Prediabetes

Understanding the risk factors associated with prediabetes is crucial for identifying your susceptibility to this condition. You can avoid or manage prediabetes proactively by being aware of these risk factors. Prediabetes.

Unhealthy Eating Habits

Bad eating habits and leading an unhealthy lifestyle are two of the main causes of prediabetes. Eating a diet heavy in processed foods, sugar-filled drinks, and saturated fats can increase your risk of developing prediabetes. Additionally, a lack of physical activity further contributes to the risk.

Family History of Diabetes

If you have a close family member, such as a parent or sibling, with diabetes, your risk of developing prediabetes is higher. The degree to which you are prone to the disorder depends significantly on your family history.

Obesity or Excess Weight
