Artist on TikTok receives backlash for 'slavery themed bathroom'
An artist on TikTok has faced strong backlash over a “slavery-themed bathroom” seen in a tour of her home. In a since-deleted post, artist and TikToker Hannah Polskin shared a video of her bathroom, showing various pieces of decoration that appeared to be influenced by African culture. Some of the wall decor included a picture of the African-American boxer Muhammad Ali, traditional African masks and a toilet roll holder made out of chains, raising many eyebrows due to its connotations with enslaved Africans and the Atlantic slave trade. Before it was deleted, the original video was shared by TikToker @jpgeez, who raised questions and concerns about the decor. He said: “So, I have questions. Is this your bathroom? Did someone ask you to style the bathroom like this? “I think the thing that I’m wondering about, and what I would imagine most people are wondering about, would be the toilet paper holder with the choice of the rest of the decor, you know.” @jpgeez #greenscreen #greenscreenvideo @Hannah Polskin just curious ? The TikToker reasoned that on their own, the pieces of art would be fine. But, when the chains are placed amongst African pieces, the connotations of slavery are hard to ignore. Responding to his video, one person wrote: “What in the Get Out bathroom.” Another wrote: “Living for the British Museum aesthetic.” Commenting on one of Polskin’s existing videos, someone asked the artist: “Btw what did you mean when you added the chain?” Another person said: “Are we gonna discuss the bathroom theme???” “The bathroom is actually diabolical,” one person commented. indy100 has contacted Hannah Polskin for comment.

Is Function Of Beauty Making A Comeback? A Review Of The Brand’s New “Pro” Line
If there’s something to know about me, it’s that I love anything customized, personalized, monogrammed — you name it. If I can put an initial on it, you know that I will. And when it comes to beauty products, I’m the same; and while customizable skincare and made-to-order makeup have made some waves in the mainstream beautysphere, compared to the world of bespoke hair products? They have a long way to go. One such brand, Function of Beauty, was virtually inescapable at its peak — and I’ll admit, I was a fan myself. However, after a 2021 scandal involving customers claiming to have suffered hair loss as a result of using the brand’s products, the future of Function seemed uncertain. (Writer’s note: I personally did not experience any issues using Function of Beauty products, including the line offered at Target, which was also mentioned in VICE’s reporting.)
