Sali Hughes #10 Hiya! Am I in the wrong place? I came here to seethe about Sali.

Change of topic briefly.... I had no idea retin-a was discovered through highly unethical medical tests on predominantly black (85%) prison populations in Philadelphia in the 1960s/70s.

(I knew the grim history of gynaecology but that was a lot further back in time.)

Anyway I thought a few of you might be interested as well, twitter thread here

If only we had beauty journalists to educate us about this stuff

Oh god, I can hardly bear to read it. I also knew about the shameful history of the “father of gynaecology”.

I’m going in.

she would have liked to be a detective as an alternative career.

Wait, what?!

 

[Mselvista]

Wait, what?!

I'm sure I've seen her say on Twitter or GTL if she wasn't a writer she would have wanted to be either a detective or a casting director.

 

[melfish]

She'd need to be a beat cop first. Can't quite imagine that

Although she is rather good at policing other people's opinions and manners

I think graduates can be fast tracked to CID in the UK.

 

[Gettae]

She’s the modern day Mary Whitehouse

with added *swears*.

Gary from Coronation St sometimes has Eames stuff to sell on. Sali should give him her deets, she might be able to start, I mean add to, her collection.

She’s not a graduate.

 

[Grizzlybear]

She’s not a graduate.

Oooooohhhhhhh

 

[Mselvista]

@Mustard I'm not aware that she is either but I don't know definitely.

 

[Jade Mitzi]

She’s not a graduate.

 

[RayRayJay]

She'd be a great detective. She's got all 13 of us sussed. Details in her paperchase folders.

Detective Hughes walking through the “evidence”

 

[lipsticktaser]

This got a little chortle from me.

She’s not a graduate. She did some kind of journalism course, but she doesn’t even have GCSEs...

What's GSCEs? The step before A levels?

I think high school is much more rigorous in the UK than it is in either Australia or the US
