Kim Kardashian can keep her champagne flutes because Amber Rose channeling suffragette Susan B. Anthony might be the best thing we've seen all year. 

In the second installment of the Break the Internet issue, Paper Magazine decided to honor their readership with a collection of outrageous photo shoots entitled #Fandemonium, because this time "it was the fans who deserve the kudos." 

Amber Rose was one of celebrities chosen to "make fans go nuts" for a photo shoot, in which she channeled some of the most iconic feminists in history, including Gloria Steinem, Susan B. Anthony, Dorothy Pitman Hughes and, of course, Rosie the Riveter. 

Take a look below. 

Rose organized "Slut Walk" in early October to speak out against slut-shaming and delivered an impassioned speech in which she stated, "[I've] decided to have this slut walk for women who have been through s**t."

The 32-year old mother of one attracted a considerable amount of media attention after her split with rapper Wiz Khalifa, an experience she credits with sparking her interest in feminism. 

"I would look on [Wiz's] Instagram and he would have pictures of all these women all over him," she told Paper. "And then I would post a picture of me and my son. And people would be like, 'Does your son know that his mother's a whore?'"

"People are like, 'Wiz is out fucking mad bad bitches and you're at home crying over him because he's the best thing that fucking ever happened to you and now you're just a fat, bald-headed single mother and no one will ever love you,'" she continued. "So yeah, I guess months of seeing shit like that, I was just like, 'I can't live like this. There's something wrong.'"

Despite her negative experiences, Rose refuses to accept the ways society constructs womanhood as somehow inferior and hopes that women of all types will continue to unapologetically challenge patriarchy.  

"I guess what I want with our generation is to have it not be that way," she said. "Like, all of us as women, let's just stick together and look out for each other. I was really glad that my Slut Walk was extremely diverse. There were all types of women from all walks of life there ... That would be the main thing for me ... really just try to take the racism out of feminism for our generation."

Girls of the world, if your 9-year-old selves could have been granted one single wish, what would it have been? Besides making out with Josh Hartnett. Or bestowing your Tamagotchi with eternal life. Yes, I'm talking about working for her majesty of cool binder folders, goddess of anthropomorphized animals sharing ice cream sundaes, reigning queen of lunchboxes with attitude. The one and only Lisa Frank.

Girls (now probably women or somewhere in between), we bear potentially life-changing news: Lisa Frank is hiring. 

Well, at least according to this Craigslist posting. 

That's right. You, sitting at your sad brown desk in your sad white office, could soon be in the magical land of Tucson, Arizona, surrounded by a potentially underwater office definitely covered in rainbow magic and sparkles. Your coworkers would likely include aliens and flirtatious golden retrievers, and you can all goof off and watch YouTube videos together until the boss unicorn comes in and everyone is like, "Get back to work!" But this so-called "work" would just be drawing magical universes of your own creation. 

The Huffington Post has reached out to Lisa Frank, Inc., to verify the job posting, but (probably due to the wildly secretive nature of Ms. Frank) we have yet to hear back. So apply at your own risk. Or, while you wait for more news, change your email signature to Queen Professional Lisa Frank Artist for the day just to feel it out.

Jezebel did report on a potential Lisa Frank job posting last year, which noted that applicants must be willing to relocate to Tucson -- the headquarters of the company. And if you're tempted to visit to the Lisa Frank website after reading this, you'll come across a message prompting visitors to check back soon to see the "new Fantastic World of Lisa Frank® website!" 

Whatever's happening over at LF headquarters, if you're an obsessed artist who is open to living in Arizona and has experience in packaging and process design, will you please switch bodies with me by spell or incantation so I can make my lifelong dream come true? Thanks. 

UPDATE: The post has since been removed from Craigslist. We are awaiting comment from Lisa Frank, Inc.

He's no fictional action hero, but Prince Harry is trying to save the world in his own way.

The photos below show the dressed-down 31-year old on a trip this week to Kruger National Park in Kempiana, South Africa, viewing rhinoceroses that were killed by poachers and meeting with preservationists from the South African Wildlife College who are working around the clock to save the animals.

The visit brings extra recognition to an issue that's long been important to Harry.

He spent weeks working as a wildlife conservation volunteer in Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana and Namibia last summer, and this week released heartrending personal photos from that experience to coincide with his current trip. 

"I know how lucky I am to have these experiences, but hearing stories from people on the ground about how bad the situation really is upset and frustrated me," Harry said in a caption posted to the official Kensington Palace Instagram account. "How can it be that 30,000 elephants were slaughtered last year alone? And for what? Their tusks? Seeing huge carcasses of rhinos and elephants scattered across Africa with their horns and tusks missing is a pointless waste of beauty."

His current trip isn't all serious, however, and Harry balanced out his royal tour of South Africa and Lesotho with a game of tag rugby in Durban. He also spent time at a nearby beach to watch surfers demonstrate skills they've learned from the mentoring organization Surfers Not Street Children, as well.

See more pictures from his tour below:

UPDATE: Kylie Jenner has been cleared of all charges of animal abuse, Derek Brown, deputy director of the LA County Department of Animal Care and Control, told The Huffington Post. Brown said that his team had gone to Jenner's home to investigate the reports and "found no neglect."

"The breed is a lean breed of dog. Sometimes photos can be deceiving," Brown said. "People see slight ribs in a photo and think 'Oh my god,' but in this case, there's no neglect, and we're more than satisfied that the animal is being properly cared for." 

Brown added that Bambi is receiving medical care for a condition related to the dog's small frame, but declined to give details. 

PREVIOUSLY: The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control is investigating Kylie Jenner for possible animal abuse after receiving reports that the 18-year-old reality star has been neglecting her pet Italian Greyhounds, reports TMZ. 

Over the weekend, Jenner posted a brief video of two of her three dogs to Snapchat. In the video, her dog Bambi appears to be very thin, with the dog's ribs and vertebrae clearly visible beneath its caramel fur. 

The video prompted many commenters to note how skinny Bambi looked -- and apparently spurred at least one concerned citizen to contact Animal Control and report possible neglect. According to TMZ, the department's policy is to investigate every report of animal abuse it receives, so Jenner's celebrity will be no shield to an inquiry. 

It is not, however, clear that Bambi is actually unhealthy. Italian Greyhounds are naturally lean, so Jenner may be feeding the dog a proper amount of food. A  representative from the Italian Greyhound Club of America told TMZ that Bambi's weight looked normal for the breed in the video. 

Jenner's other two Italian Greyhounds are named Norman and Sophia. They, too, look slim in the many photos of them Jenner posts on her social media accounts, but they do not appear to be as thin as Bambi. 

Even if Jenner ends up being cleared of wrongdoing in this case, she's still had a rough week in the press. She was roundly criticized for posing in a wheelchair for Interview magazine after photos from the shoot emerged on Tuesday. 

Request for comment made by The Huffington Post to both Animal Control and Jenner's rep has yet to be returned at this time.

The good news keeps on coming. After a large study found that coffee can save your life (well, not really, but coffee drinkers had lower mortality rates), a new study suggests cocoa can make your skin supple and radiant during that long, happy life, brought to you by 3-5 coffee cups a day.

Cocoa is very rich in antioxidants -- flavonoids and flavonols in particular. Our skin suffers ultraviolet damage from exposure to the elements, leading to photo aging, and antioxidants can potentially mitigate those effects.

This is what researchers were testing in a neat new study, reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, in which 64 women consumed chocolate drinks for 24 weeks. Half of them had drinks with 4 grams of real cocoa powder, a powder produced so that it preserves the naturally occurring flavonols (each drink had 320 mg cocoa flavonols). The other half drank a nutrient and taste-matched cocoa-flavored beverage with no flavonols. The participants and the researches were unaware of which group they were in (a double blind, randomized placebo controlled study, which is the gold standard of studies).

After 24 weeks, the women treated with cocoa showed improvement of wrinkles in the crow-feet area, and their skin was more elastic -- these results were objectively and elaborately measured and are not personal impressions. These improvements didn't appear immediately, but rather 12 weeks into the experiment.

A good-for-you pleasure?

Over the years, cocoa, used in traditional folk medicine, has demonstrated quite a few health benefits, and has been shown to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and aid in insulin resistance.

And a series of recent studies have hinted that not only will you look young, cocoa can also help keep your mind supple. A study published in Nature Neuroscience showed that healthy 50- to 69-year-olds who drank a mixture rich in cocoa's flavonols for three months improved their cognitive function. In another new study researchers gave 90 elderly people who were cognitively intact one of 3 cocoa drinks: high, medium or low in flavonol. The groups that drank the intermediate and high flavonol drinks showed improved cognitive performance and improvement in some mental tasks. A similar study with older people that already suffered mild cognitive impairment showed that high cocoa flavonol drinks improved verbal fluency and speed of mental processing.

Before you start a chocolate binge

As a chocolate lover I really enjoy these studies, but before we see this as permission to eat chocolate in all its delicious incarnations let's be honest: Most of the chocolate in the market is mostly sugar. Cocoa flavonol content isn't listed in the nutrition label, and many chocolate foods have very little of it. So if you love chocolate, here's another excuse to enjoy it; if you're not into it, there isn't compelling evidence to start a cocoa habit at this point, even if your laugh lines are digging into permanency.

Looking for flavonoid rich cocoa foods? Here are a few tips:

Cocoa powder: This is pure cocoa solids: fermented, dried cacao beans, with the cocoa butter separated out, and the remaining solids ground into a fine powder. Processed right, it is one of the most antioxidant rich foods in the world. Natural cocoa powder has more antioxidants than the Dutch-processed or alkalized version.

Cacao nibs: These are pieces crumpled from whole cacao beans, with pure chocolaty flavor, but no sweetness at all. They can be added to both sweet and savory dishes and are super rich in antioxidants.

Dark chocolate: Cocoa solids in dark chocolate vary, and are often listed on the pack, the higher the percentage the more flavonols it packs.

Milk chocolate: By definition the milk varieties will have less cocoa solids than the dark versions, but some fine milks have as much as 35-45 percent cocoa solids, while others have as little as 10 percent, making them a good source of -- let's admit it -- sugar.

"Beauty Glossary" is a HuffPost series that breaks down beauty product techniques, treatments and ingredients so you know exactly what you're putting onto and into your body.

Has your skin been extremely itchy or irritated now that it's much colder outside? When you remove those wool clothing layers, are there tiny bumps on your arms or thighs that just won't go away? If you answered "yes" to these questions, you may  keratosis pilaris. 

Often mistaken for acne, keratosis pilaris is a chronic skin condition that forms white or red bumps when hair follicles are plugged with keratin buildup. It usually appears on the cheeks, upper arms, thighs, outer legs, buttocks and back. According to board-certified dermatologist Linda Honet, it's an annoying ailment that's relatively harmless but without continuous treatment, it just comes right back. 

While a pimple is usually more painful and not itchy, Honet explains that with keratosis pilaris you have "multiple little bumps with dry plugs in the hair follicle that can be raw or red."

"People who have family members with asthma, atopic dermatitis, eczema, hay fever or seasonal allergies have a higher instance of KP than people who do not," says Honet. "KP often does get worse in the winter because the humidity falls and the ambiance moisture in the air sucks away moisture in the skin. Then, it gets itchy."

The primary way that family practitioners or dermatologists like Honet treat keratosis pilaris is by moisturizing. "Often these are very heavy-duty moisturizers that have alpha hydroxy acids in them like glycolic acid or lactic acid because they are chemical exfoliators," says Honet. "They actually de-plug the hair follicles, smooth out the skin and impart more moisture."

As a medical advisor for the Gwyneth Paltrow-backed skincare line Restorsea, Honet was able to self-test the effectiveness of the brand's new Revitalizing Scalp Treatment in treating KP. The derm explained that an off-label remedy like this scalp treatment is often used, especially if it does no harm to other body parts.

Honet believes what really makes this product stand out is how gentle it is in comparison to the mechanical exfoliators that are often used to de-plug hair follicles, such as bath puffs or Clarisonic brushes. She also recommends body washes that are formulated with alpha hydroxy ingredients. "Glytone makes one that's nice with glycolic acid, and Eucerin has a whole line that's called Professional Repair that's formulated for extremely dry skin," says Honet. 

Maintaining a consistent and healthy skincare regimen is key to minimizing symptoms of keratosis pilaris. You'll want to use a gentle cleanser or exfoliator when bathing and not use hot water. Be sure not to scrub too hard because it can lead to more irritation. While people usually gravitate toward steamy showers and baths during this season, Honet points out that it actually strips your skin of any natural oils that you're making. Instead, use lukewarm water and keep your bathing time brief. Then, get out of the shower while your skin is still damp and apply a treatment. "It'll seal in the moisture and allow the medication to be more effective," says Honet.

Back in May, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" fans got to go behind the scenes of a nude photo shoot that Kim Kardashian finally posted on her website on Tuesday. 

Not shockingly, it seems those photos were photoshopped and, not surprisingly, some people aren't happy about it. 

If you need another comparison, again here is the photo that was shown during the E! broadcast of Kardashian's reality series and the final photoshopped photo:

There are a few things you can count on in this world -- the sun will rise in the east and set in the west and Kardashian (and 99 percent of celebrities) is going to photoshop her photos. This is a woman who employs the use of photo retouching software just to ensure that not a single hair on her head is out of place before it's posted for her adoring fans and haters alike. 

But what's interesting is the episode that originally featured the nude shoot was all about insecurities. Just like the rest of us, Kardashian has parts of herself she feels insecure about. In the episode, she laments the intense amount of public scrutiny that follows every time she posts a photo, telling her younger sisters, "I'm so insecure lately. Just with my weight. I cannot leave the house without Spanx." 

So let's remind ourselves that, while Kardashian is particular about her image, she's also the woman who is being called a "fat bitch" at 37 weeks pregnant. 

Hmm ... is it any wonder that she Photoshops her photos?

Fergie looked Fergalicious Wednesday night at the Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York City. 

The 40-year-old singer wore a super sexy sheer dress with a mesh bodice and interesting cutouts. Fergie paired the look with a black bodysuit and a single, leather glove.  

Look back at it: 

Earlier in the week, Fergie attended the 76th Annual Two Ten Footwear Foundation Dinner and Awards in a super-chic black suit with a high ponytail. 

The singer was notoriously absent from a Black Eyed Peas' 20th anniversary video released earlier this summer, which only featured group members will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo. 

Fergie assured fans their was no bad blood between BEP members, telling Digital Spy, "I haven't been in the group for 20 years, so it's more their anniversary of being together for 20 years."
