Experiments with a manicure are fun and sometimes very simple: we have repeatedly shown examples of spectacular nail art that will cost the smallest effort. We, too, were a little tired of red lacquer and comfortable nuda and asked several salons and craftsmen to help us try on a viable nail art: alas, manicure survives poorly on the nails that constantly have to knock on the keyboard.

We all from time to time try to teach ourselves useful things: go for a run at eight in the morning, and then half a day come to life, mentally say goodbye to fast food and the next day we eat a huge pizza, decide to go to bed early, but suddenly the new season of the favorite series and the evening, to put it mildly, is delayed.

Under the heading "Experiment", the Wonderzine editorial board recreates the extreme life situations that girls get into and tests various cosmetics (and not only). This time we decided to find out in which of the five carcasses we chose to tear a tear or two, without compromising the appearance.

In mid-March, Uber announced that it plans to create a million jobs for female drivers around the world by 2020. We decided to check whether it makes sense for women in Russia to seriously consider the profession of a driver in the service of calling private traders and whether they are waiting for them on the way all the problems of society in miniature - including sexism in the cabin and on the road.

Text: Anastasia Travkina On a late May evening, standing with a musician, linguist and programmer at the entrance to the bar, I asked what sexuality was. My interlocutors answered: youth, thin skin, beautiful lips. This answer surprised me: it turned out that sexuality is the property of an object to be sexually attractive to someone else.

How to be photographed correctly on a webcam, everyone seems to already know (in daylight, to follow the background, to make up from the heart). We decided to check whether it is possible to apply makeup normally, if only a webcam is available: as luck would have it, it is the mirrors most often with them in the cosmetic bag that does not appear. Tanya Because of the resolution, I saw my eye very badly, so when I painted over at the beginning of the century, it was stressful, and then everything also blurred.

Under the heading "Experiment", the Wonderzine editorial board recreates the extreme life situations that girls get into and tests various cosmetics. In the first issue, we plant flowers and check five varnishes for durability. From left to right: Zoya - Blu, Deborah Lippmann - Do the Mermaid, OPI - My Vampire Is Buff, Essie - Maximillian Strasse-Her, Christina Fitzgerald - Jess T, the base of Christina Fitzgerald (complete with lacquer) from the spring-summer collections of the Essie, OPI, Christina Fitzgerald, Deborah Lippmann and Zoya brands.

In 2016, telephone calls are already considered inconvenient and even indecent. More often than not, we really do not want to break away from business and instantly dive into another context, but maybe by constantly rewriting, we miss some important aspect of communication? Beka Grimm ventured on a bold experiment and for the whole week answered all messages only with calls - and managed not only not to lose friends, but also to learn something new.

"Clutches on wheels: five cars for the fair sex", "List of small and inexpensive cars for women. What you need for ladies", "Choice of a car: female logic" - with such headings there are articles in automobile editions of the twenty-first century. After all, "no matter how biased the men treat the ladies who" prancing "on the highway on their small car, one has to put up with this fact," and "we used to see driving a car - powerful, sporty or small-scale - a man.

Representatives of each sex today are offered special products, supposedly designed specifically for their needs and tastes - from children's toys and clothing to hygiene products. At the same time, activists around the world are sounding the alarm year after year and report that the prices for "women's" goods are noticeably higher than for similar "men's" products.

Men also wear makeup. On each model in the advertisement and participant of the TV program, it is there, apart from the fact that all the images of people on the big screen are digitally processed. And although the exterior can now be edited in different ways, the technique remains the same: everything that is needed is disguised, highlighted and corrected.

The consequences of the fall of the ruble and the new economic crisis in Russia could not but affect our consumer habits. Shopping becomes more rational and pragmatic, and the choice of things in stores is more uniform and functional. At least, experts predict this. At the same time, the prospect of going from corner to corner in the mass market in search of cheap fashionable things seems depressing.

In the EXPERIMENT RUBRIC, the Wonderzine editorial board recreates the life situations that girls get into and tests various cosmetics (and not only). This time we asked Ptichka hairdressers to do three simple and quick styling with a minimum of tools, and the girls tried to repeat them and told how difficult it was to do.

It is believed that the older we get, the more conservative our wardrobe. However, according to the report of this year, the trend bureau K-HOLE (the one that first defined the normcore as the trend of the year), society is no longer divided into age and gender groups, as the rapid exchange of new information and openness to everything new unites people, not divides.

We asked Tatyana Nikonov, who was familiar with Russian and Western dating sites, to make an experiment: create a profile with her most natural photos, start writing to men first and act like the usual “not accepted” women to behave. And then tell what came of it.

"Have you noticed that skinheads are trendy now?" - I read the blog Gharans Dore, stroking the crisp 3-mm hedgehog of his hair. A week later, he doubles his face and will simply rustle, and a friend will send me a link to a selection of shaved and very short-haired girls from spring-summer 2016 shows with the caption: "You're on time!

Point G for the last couple of generations is considered the center of female sexuality — desirable and semi-mythical, which everyone wants to find without getting out of bed. This is a whole set of double standards: the definition of female sexuality through a phenomenon that can happen only in a third of women, the persistent search for a magic button in a female body to confirm the masculinity of a partner and, of course, the presence of an entire industry to work with an organ whose existence has not been confirmed by science.

A grandma, walking around an unbecoming TAX, politely asks what entrance I need - I pretend to surprise that I have not heard the question, I look around awkwardly and, fortunately, I immediately rest on the black door I need. This is not the entrance, but the entrance to the thematic hotel "Goji" - "13 comfortable rooms with individual design and unique BDSM equipment."

If there is any experience that unites us all, then this is, of course, a school: ups at seven in the morning, textbooks written by someone before you, a shift and a porridge from the school canteen - we all remember how it was. In honor of the First of September, we decided to recall another good tradition and (almost) the entire editorial office to fill out the school questionnaire, and at the same time we made out children's albums - join you too.

“The vaginal simulators should be on everyone’s level, along with a toothbrush,” the instructor of one of Moscow’s centers of sexual mastery is broadcasting. “No doctor will tell you about the need for an intimate training session; it’s like a conspiracy by gynecologists who, looking at you, say everything is fine, but they are lowering that your intimate muscles are flabby and wrinkled, like the skin on the face of an old woman.
