Is it just me or is this event at the Liverpool War Museum totally missing the point?
When I think of the women who worked in factories in WW2, the first thing I think of is their bad-assery, not their bloody makeup! And how badly they were treated once the "boys" wanted their jobs back.
Liverpool War Museum say:
We have invited a specialist make up artist to create quick vintage looks for kids. Included for free in the normal museum entry fee - the artist will be within the bunker and will be able to make kids look like Rosie Riveter complete with bright red lipstick and headscarf or create some camouflage face paint
Also, in another ad for it: Free special effects make up for kids, make up like Rosie Riveter or gun shot wounds and bruises.
So, a pretty outfit for the girls - even the ones working making munitions - and rough and tumble war for the boys, got it. 
. (I mean I know they don't explicitly SAY that, but it's obvious it's the offering).
I mean, I guess it's a way to get kids into the museum, and mine would love it to be fair, they love a bit of dressing up.
But come on, Liverpool War museum, can't you think of anything more relevant to the story of Rosie the Riveter and all the women who did what was considered "men's jobs" than a pretty bandana and some lippy, FFS?!
