• Get on board already! I have some good news and some bad news this morning. Let's just rip off the band-aid off and start with the latter.

A new report released last night reveals that the steady march toward gender parity of Fortune 500 board appointees has not just stalled, but actually reversed. After inching upward since 2009, women's share of new board members dropped two percentage points to 27.3% in 2016. The dip means gender parity among incoming directors won't be reached until 2032, according to the study—six years later than previously predicted. (To read all the details, check out my colleague Claire Zillman's story.)

Some companies might try to blame the "pipeline" and the lack of "qualified" female candidates for the reversal. To that, I say, let's take a look at Travelzoo—a public company where the female directors outnumber the sole male director four to one.

After adding two new female board members, the company is asserting that its board has the highest female-to-male ratio of any NASDAQ or NYSE-listed company. While Travelzoo didn't explicitly set out to accomplish that goal, says director and former Deloitte LLP partner Mary Reilly, it just makes sense for the business, "since 64% of our members are women and women are usually the ones buying trips." Now, just imagine what would happen if all the companies with majority female customer bases thought the same way...

• Kardashian kontroversy. Tomorrow, Kim Kardashian is launching a contour and highlighting kit, the first product from her new line, KKW Beauty. The rollout has not come off without a hitch, however. While the kit is predicted to be a sales blockbuster, the rollout has been marred by accusations that Kardashian darkened her skin—or to put it more bluntly, wore blackface—in a promotional photo for the line.
