And now the New York Times has written a piece introducing the growing trend of this new fad that is coming to America!
Excerpt From New York Times:
My favorite person on Instagram these days is a guy who matches his makeup to his snacks. His name is Tim Owens, but online he goes by Skelotim, and he is a bald, perma-stubbled man who knows his way around a contour kit. Last week, he posted a video of himself applying dark purple eye shadow, sky-blue eyeliner, fluttery fake lashes and a bold grape lipstick. Then, after shooting the camera a succession of saucy glances, he raised a packaged Smucker’s Uncrustables peanut-butter-and-grape-jelly sandwich, revealing his culinary inspiration for the day’s look. He does this every week. He calls it “Fat Bitch Friday.”
