I'm excited to share C-15 from Fatty 15, the first emerging essential fatty acid discovered in more than 90 years. When we don't have enough C15, our cells can become fragile and age faster. To help fix that, doctors spent over a decade developing the pure science-backed C15 found in fatty 15. It helps repair cellular damage and support sleep, cognitive health, metabolism, and energy. Personally, since adding fatty 15, I've noticed better sleep, steadier energy. I get to get up for the gym and I feel a-okay. Fatty 15 was developed to support healthy aging for all, from kids to grandparents to parents and everyone in between. That's why award-winning fatty 15 is now available as pure capsules, delicious apple mint gummies for teens and adults, and yummy berry blast gummies for kids.

Well, I've got a super, super, super, duper, super scroll. And this first video, this just knocked my socks off. Get a load of this video. This woman says that blonde hair is racist and fascist. Watch.
Blonde hair is never just blonde hair. It's MAGA blonde, it's white trash bottle blonde, it's America's poster girl. Blonde is political and we're seeing blonde as an increasing symbol of the right-wing agenda and body fascism. Just like thinness does, blonde plays a role in this uniform of right-wing femininity. Sydney Sweeney's Good Genes ad, hinting at her blonde hair, her blue eyes, her white skin, begins to unpack the significance of this hair. Blonde is the American beauty ideal, particularly a Republican one. It signals purity and traditionalism, but more so racial superiority in a very white supremacist fashion. It is white women who largely benefit from the social currency of blonde hair for its association with racial purity and status, which can then be used here as a political pillar to reinforce these values as they become so encoded in blonde hair itself.
And that's exactly why Melania Trump's decision to go blonde can be seen as an act of identity politics. Blonde has so many associations as a dumb colour, but in fact it runs this deep. During social and economic and political shifts, blonde can serve as a symbolic reassurance of conservative values. But we can also analyse the specific shades of blonde to understand the racial and class dimensions to blonde's politics. First you have MAGA blonde, that very bright, sat-in-a-salon-all-day type of blonde that's very associated with Republican politicians. That blonde that exudes security and status in a way to almost distance from this white trash bottle blonde that could be done at home. This blonde serves just as much as a signifier of status as it does a distincter of class.
Then there's this more natural honey blonde that again takes lots of foils and salon maintenance that we see on the likes of Melania and Sydney Sweeney.
