| HABIB: Welcome back to Infoflow, Blazers. Today is Friday, March 18th. I’m HABIB. |
| GABE: And I’m GABE. Today’s Women’s history month fact is that in 1770, a bill proposing that women using makeup should be punished for witchcraft was put forward to the British Parliament. The use of makeup was frowned upon during this period for the effect it would have on men, and women who were thought to be luring men in with scents, makeup, wigs or other cosmetics were thought to be performing the devils’ work by inciting lustfulness. Even the Queen took a hard stance on makeup, calling it “impolite.” |
