'SO WHAT WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IS...'
Makeup artist and drag queen Golgi Apparatus has incurred the wrath of the internet after uploading an Insta photo that appeared to be a recreation of the skin condition vitiligo.
Causing the skin to lose its color in blotches, the condition is rocked by several prominent models including Winnie Harlow:
Aaaand here's the photo uploaded by Golgi earlier this week:
Twitter was quick to point out how lame it is for makeup artists to treat a skin condition like something to be recreated for a trend like freckles.
After the massive backlash, Golgi deleted the photo (of course) and claimed she was only trying to recreate this photo of drag queen/queen of my heart, Valentina:
But I'm not exactly convinced. For starters, Valentina doesn't have a splotch on her chin and her paint is grey. Seems like there could have been a better way to recreate this, yeah?
Golgi apologized in a new post, but that doesn't mean there isn't still a massive fight taking place in the note's comments:
Hey, at least it's a genuine, heartfelt apology — which is more than we can say for some people.
