Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Anal Bleaching

To paraphrase 2010 Bruno Mars, "Your butthole's amazing, just the way it is." In a bare-everything world where our bits are often exposed, it's understandable to get curious about bleaching your booty. Rest assured, it's totally normal for that area to be darker than other parts.

Dr. Jessica Shepherd, a Chicago-based OBG/YN, put it bluntly: "It's your assh*le. It's supposed to be that color for a reason." Plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer explained further: "Anus skin comes in all colors. That's because the skin of private areas experiences friction when walking and moving and is typically in a warmer environment, exposed to sweat, moisture, and anything else that could be irritating in one's stool."

But at the end of the day, like Dr. Shepherd said, it is your assh*le. "If you want to [bleach] it, and it makes you feel comfortable and better, do it," she said. Before you lighten up, here's what you need to know (and more, probably) about the treatment.

What are you bleaching, really?

Let's be clear: unlike bleaching your butt hair, this process dyes your actual skin. "Anal bleaching is aimed at lightening the pigmentation in the skin, not the hair," Dr. Shafer said.

Plus, this is strictly a cosmetic procedure - should you lighten the area, you're not really treating or fixing anything. "Anal bleaching treats pigmentation, a symptom, not friction or irritation, which is the cause," she added. Because of this, if you want to ride off into the sunset with a forever-lightened tuchus, you're going to have to keep going back for appointments, like you would with waxing or sugaring any other body part regularly.

What can you expect from the appointment?

The first step is to get thee to a professional. While there are over-the-counter anal lightening serums and creams, we beg you to not put those on your body. "If used on the wrong skin type, condition, or concentration, the skin can actually get darker," Dr. Shafer said. Worst-case scenario, a bad reaction to those products can lead to scarring or contracting on the anus.

"It's your assh*le. It's supposed to be that color for a reason."

Dr. Shafer's practice offers a bleaching peel, which takes 30 minutes total. As for how to prepare for such a procedure, the surgeon's in-house esthetician Graceanne Svendsen tells us you should book an appointment either five days before the start of your period or five days afterward. It also helps to shave your booty beforehand, and Dr. Shepherd advised to keep everything "clean and dry" immediately before your appointment. Just like you would with a Brazilian wax, wear loose-fitting clothing and cotton underwear to let the area breathe after the appointment.

If you have any skin condition - even if it lives on your face, far away from down there - speak up. "You want to ensure that there's nothing [the technician is] missing that might increase your chances of having a complication," Dr. Shepherd said. It begins with a lactic acid peel, which exfoliates the skin. As the name implies, lactic is often found in sour milk or dairy products like kefir, yogurt, and cottage cheese and works well for sensitive skin. After that comes a brightening peel, which lightens skin pigments. You'll go home wearing a butt mask you can wash off later.

Will it hurt?

According to Dr. Shepherd, the actual process itself won't hurt - but its side effects might. "I would definitely refrain from any sexual activity for three to five days if you have an irritated anus," she said. "This is because you don't want to keep irritating it or potentially expose yourself to other infections."

If your anus feels irritated in the hours following your peel, you can apply a cold pack. If it's burning, you can smear on some petroleum jelly to help things calm down. Keeping the area dry will help to heal things quickly. However, if things have not improved in a week, you should see a healthcare professional. "If you have a fever, discharge down there, feel tender to the touch, or can't go to the bathroom or feel pain while doing so, then you definitely want to go to a doctor to have it looked at," Dr. Shepherd said.

Who should not try anal bleaching?

"You don't want to solve one problem but cause another," Dr. Shafer said. Because of that, you may want to skip anus lightening treatments if you have an active infection in the area, an STD, or other rectum medical conditions. The main takeaway? This is a personal choice that you shouldn't feel pressured into doing, but it won't hurt. "Most doctors initially would say, 'Oh, don't do it,' but if you probe further, they'll admit there's no real harm to your health with anal bleaching," Dr. Shepherd said. "It's just not necessary." It's kind of like what Bruno Mars said: "If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same."

Richard Linklater Is Reportedly Making a 20-Year Film With Beanie Feldstein and Ben Platt

Boyhood director Richard Linklater is reportedly embarking on another ambitious project: a movie spanning 20 years starring Beanie Feldstein and Ben Platt. According to Collider, it will be a remake of Stephen Sondheim's 1981 musical Merrily We Roll Along, which is based on a 1934 play of the same name. The musical is a dark comedy that follows the successful career of Franklin Shepard, a Broadway composer who becomes a Hollywood producer, but instead of being in chronological order, it follows the story backward from 1976 to 1957. During those years, the audience sees how Shepard grapples with his rise to fame and fortune and how he alienated meaningful relationships with friends and family.

Platt will reportedly play the main character, and Feldstein will play his best friend, a theater critic named Mary Flynn. While neither actor has commented on the new movie yet, 26-year-old Feldstein most recently starred in Olivia Wilde's hilarious and modern take on a high-school coming-of-age movie, Booksmart. Feldstein also starred in Lady Bird, and Merrily We Roll Along is actually the musical the students audition for; Feldstein's character Julie gets the lead. Meanwhile, 25-year-old Broadway star Platt rose to fame after his performance in Dear Evan Hansen. He also stars in Ryan Murphy's upcoming Netflix series, The Politician. Platt and Feldstein are close friends in real life and recently performed together at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Grants Banquet.

Linklater's Boyhood - which stars Ethan Hawke, Ellar Coltrane, and Patricia Arquette - was filmed over the course of 12 years and went on to receive six Academy Award nominations in 2015, including best picture. Arquette won the Oscar for best supporting actress. While few details about Linklater's current plans are known, we know Merrily We Roll Along's adaptation is in good hands.

I Replaced Diet Soda With This Spiced Drink For 2 Weeks, and the Results Were Surprising

After recently being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disease), I really started to think about the choices I was making for my health. For years, Diet Coke was a staple for me, but I wanted to find a healthy alternative - something I could feel good about putting into my body - so I decided to read up on golden milk.

Golden milk, also known as turmeric milk or a turmeric latte, is a hot (or iced) drink made with milk and various spices - most notably turmeric, which gives the drink its signature yellow color. Turmeric, and specifically the active ingredient curcumin, is a natural anti-inflammatory and has many scientifically-proven health benefits. One review of the research concluded that curcumin, when combined with pepper to increase its bioavailability, can help better manage conditions including metabolic syndrome, arthritis, and anxiety, and ease exercise-induced muscle soreness, among other things. The researchers noted that even people without a diagnosis can benefit from a relatively low dose of the stuff. That was enough to convince me.

Many people enjoy golden milk at night, but I decided to drink it every morning for two weeks. My mornings are crazy, and since I don't have the time to make my own turmeric concoction, I used Vahdam Teas Turmeric Classic Latte Mix ($15), which is a powder you simply mix with a milk of your choice (I prefer almond milk). It contains pepper as well, which is important for absorption.

The first thing I noticed about golden milk is that it's surprisingly tasty. It's comforting and spicy in a good way, and I didn't feel like I needed to sweeten it with anything. I also found it to be filling; Diet Coke seems to fuel my appetite, but golden milk has the opposite effect. Mostly, I just feel good after drinking it, not bloated the way I feel after downing a lot of soda.

Bloating creeps up almost every night like clockwork, but after a few days without soda, I started to notice an improvement.

In fact, the most dramatic effect I've noticed since giving up carbonated beverages and replacing them with a healthy alternative is how much it has benefited my digestive health (another long-touted benefit). Along with RA, I've also suffered with irritable bowel syndrome since I was 18 years old. My IBS causes chronic bloating, the kind that makes me look like I'm six months pregnant. Not only is it embarrassing, but also very painful. It creeps up almost every night like clockwork, but after a few days without soda, I started to notice an improvement. Now I only get bloated once in awhile, and when I get strong cravings for something fizzy, I reach for a kombucha instead.

I'd love to say that drinking golden milk cured me of my rheumatoid arthritis, but that's not accurate or realistic. I'm currently in the early stages of this disease, I'm focusing on doing all I can to reduce inflammation in my body. It's simply too early to tell if drinking golden milk is helping with that, but I do know that I feel better since giving up soda and starting to drink turmeric, and right now that's good enough for me.

Lizzo Doesn't Want to Be Praised as "Brave" For Being Confident: "I'm Just Me"

When Lizzo opened her performance at the 2019 MTV VMAs with a giant inflatable butt across the entire stage, the crowd went wild. Her empowering songs and self-assured attitude are what makes her impact so powerful, but Lizzo doesn't want to be considered "brave" for radiating such levels of confidence; it's just who she is. In a new interview with Glamour, Lizzo spoke about how frustrating it is for society to admire her confidence, as if it's not expected of her because she's a fuller-figured woman.

"When people look at my body and be like, 'Oh my God, she's so brave,' it's like, 'No I'm not,'" Lizzo said. "I'm just fine. I'm just me. I'm just sexy. If you saw Anne Hathaway in a bikini on a billboard, you wouldn't call her brave. I just think there's a double standard when it comes to women."

She added, "I don't like it when people think it's hard for me to see myself as beautiful. I don't like it when people are shocked that I'm doing it." But Lizzo is 100 percent that b*tch, and she doesn't want her self-love to be treated any differently than someone else's.

"I don't like it when people think it's hard for me to see myself as beautiful."

Following her show-stopping VMAs performance, Lizzo shared a message on Instagram about how much it meant to her having a group of black women standing behind her on stage. "Every woman on that stage had a story of either why they shouldn't have been on that stage or why they didn't believe they deserved to be on that stage, including myself," she wrote. "Not only were we taught to believe we didn't belong in the spotlight, but when we finally get to a place to self-worth the world tries to knock us down. Not this time. The world smiled with us. The world sang us. The world saw our beauty last night. The world saw black women feeling Good As Hell and cheered us on . . . Being a big black woman with y'all by my side is the honor of my life, and I hope this moment stays forever between yo titties."

Lizzo is unapologetically herself, and her lyrics are helping others feel that same self-love she radiates. She said that the internet really helped her "find the beauty" in herself after seeing other beautiful people online who look like her. "You'll find yourself reflected," she said.

As for the future, Lizzo just hopes that no one's confidence is ever considered "surprising." Confidence comes from within, and Lizzo's powerful lyrics and honest attitude are helping others feel that same way. "Let's just make space for these women," she said. "Make space for me. Make space for this generation of artists who are really fearless in self-love. They're out here. They want to be free. I think allowing that space to be made is really what's going to shift the narrative in the future. Let's stop talking about it and make more space for people who are about it."

Leslie Jones Will Host a Reboot of Supermarket Sweep After Leaving SNL

ICYMI, Saturday Night Live's fabulously funny Leslie Jones is leaving the late-night show after five years of writing and performing in some of our favorite skits. But the 51-year-old comedian and actress already has big plans lined up, namely hosting a reboot of the 1960s (and later 1990s) game show classic Supermarket Sweep!

For anyone who didn't grow up watching this show in the '90s and early aughts, the game show is set in a faux grocery store and challenges contestants to race through the aisles to throw as many expensive items into their shopping cart as possible to beat the opposing team. The team with the highest-valued cart wins, and I, for one, am ready to shop.

The show, produced by Fremantle, doesn't have a release date yet. In the meantime, though, we can look forward to Jones's other projects, including her first stand-up comedy special on Netflix, a role in the Coming to America sequel, and a role starring alongside Kristen Bell in Queenpins.

Wondering If Your Tattoo Should Be Healed by Now? Here's How Long It Takes

When you get your first tattoo, maybe you're eager to share it with the world, but it won't look quite how you imagined at the beginning and will scab over during the healing process. Tattoo artist Michelle Santana from celebrity-favorite parlor Bang Bang Tattoo said this is when most first-timers tend to get concerned.

"My most common freak out with customers is when they get home and see blood or ink smudging under the bandage," she explained. This is totally normal, and you won't see what your ink will really look like for several months after you get it done. "After about two to three weeks the tattoo will be healed enough to have an idea of how the tattoo will end up looking, and the following months the ink will settle in to the skin," said Santana. The best thing you can do while patiently waiting for it to heal is to keep the area clean and lightly moisturized.

How can you tell if your tattoo is healed then, you wonder? Santana explained: "It's fully healed when all scabs are completely gone and it looks a little shiny." Ahead, check out a few tips to ensure your tattoos heal without infection.
