Retailers from Target to Kohl’s make big bets in beauty as department stores reel.

Some retailers are betting that lip glosses, eye shadow palettes and facial scrubs will be the next big thing to drive customers, especially younger ones, to their stores. As the likes of Ulta Beauty and LVMH -owned Sephora continue to open new locations across the United States, mass retailers like Target and Kohl’s are investing more in beauty and hoping to grow their market share in makeup, nail products and perfumes. With this, a category that has historically been dominated by America’s department store chains is now increasingly moving out of malls. And while the coronavirus pandemic has driven an overall decline in beauty sales this year, sales of makeup and other personal care items have been surging online, which could prove to permanently shake-up the beauty landscape even further.

Earlier, at the turn of the new century, Picasso and Cocteau helped out with the ballets of Dagliev by creating costumes and sets and also helped express the "modern" music of operas. Most recently, David Hockney has built magical sets for the opera, Mozart's Magic Flute and others. Look into the watercolor works of Charles Burchfield. His interpretations of sky/cloud forms are based on his love and knowledge of music. Kandinsky was extremely interested in the relationship between visual art and

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL – In a bold move in the push for scientific illiteracy, anti-vaccine zealots have started an online petition to pressure the universe to remove Mercury from the solar system. “The devastating health effects of Mercury are widely known, from autism-causing vaccines to causing all kinds of cancers from tooth fillings” explained mommy blogger Kate Hermian. “It’s time for this madness to end. It’s time for them to remove Mercury once and for all.” The sentiment echoes past anti-vaccine arguments surrounding the use of thimerosal in vaccines. Thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines by 2001, even though a large study and risk assessment of thimerosal use in childhood vaccines published in Pediatrics “found no evidence of harm from the use of thimerosal as a preservative, other than redness and swelling at the injection site.” “We know what the so-called “experts” and “science” says about mercury in vaccines and it’s link to autism.
