Karen Foster : A Gegenwelt

Rimmel sweeties

 Karen would probably have expressed herself much more directly — not just calling it disgusting.

The inspection itself was apparently fine. What was not fine, however, was the criticism of self-care that seemed “too excessive” for a man at the borderline.

What is bold about it is that the more western part of Europe knows someone precisely because elsewhere that person’s personality and self-care were the reason.

I was also amused that although people know who they are speaking to, they do not realize that this very reason is why someone is know…

Even before everyone knew someone, I used to say that I liked how even my clothes still smelled of this country days after I returned--and I also did research into why that is. I thought about it in relation to a relationship — under certain circumstances, it probably would not look this way so much in this space.

Yet hygiene and cosmetic products are not against the system — they are part of the system itself. A sweet business…

“These were literally remarks about hygiene and cosmetic products that were found on top of the backpack while showing them to someone else.”

The Rimmel was the golden highlight of the discovery. I didn’t understand what I was supposed to explain about Rimmel. Although it seemed like when was expecting a reaction rather than eye-rolling…

Articles are often focused on this subject of self-care. And I praise the West, because sometimes I search more difficultly for values in the Central region. There also were names of an influencers about this theme.

It is the 21st century; as they say, civilization is no longer an age long gone. It should be like a flower that constantly strives to become more civilized — more beautiful, delaying aging and death. A forever life…

There is nothing about life that still has to follow what applied in the last century. Life can always be extended further and further. In an exaggerated version, silicone breasts and other body modifications are part of it too.

Sometimes I answer myself that it is like not going to the dentist, or not wearing braces.

In a my case, Schwarzkopf hair gel for men’s was also a surprise. When I look at Central and the West, people in the West also use hair gel more…

In every sense of this piece, this looks like a kind of “conservatism” toward human progress in self-care. 

For me, it is incomprehensible that someone would be surprised. 

The inspection had already started when a one said where the man was going right now. A truth is that it is legal in most parts of that “vacation” country, also for people from other countries. I have always this question, why everyone would even bring it from another country where, a truth is that it is since the beginning of 2026, it has been highly legal anyway in this country, but in the Netherlands everyone can buy it almost everywhere too.
