Does anyone remember the story where Zoe Kravitz went thrifting in this charity shop and brought her purchases home to show her mom like “hey look what I got at the thrift store, so cute” and her mom was like “I donated those clothes there last week those were mine”

people think it’s bad to be racist because it means you’ll be canceled not because they believe being racist is wrong

it’s not a new era of self acceptance. it’s what i said last year about how beauty shifted to being about the semblance of biological advantage rather than skill. we see this transition through the shift toward skincare, surgery / injectables, lash extensions.

also people saying “no, do not bring back thin eyebrows” they’re already back, your eyebrows aren’t thin… so you’re fine. things can come back and you can just not do them, you’re 30. you have free will.

imitating a dress-form mannequin ties perfectly into what monica miller (author of “slaves to fashion black dandyism”, which the exhibition is based on) writes about reconstruction of identity through fashion

it’s partly because y’all only think things are high fashion on rail thin women and partly no one opening a book to notice fast fashion has been copying 90’s fashion silhouettes for like a decade… fashion nova looks like Mugler…

Breonna Taylor’s life is sacred, what isn’t being understood? Her life is sacred and meaningful and special and it matters. She had experiences and fears and thoughts and love— she’s not a concept. She’s not a mission you’re rallying behind— she’s a person. Please have reverence.

this is an extremely reverential ode to andre leon talley, honoring him on a church fan as a dignified and exalted universally recognized ancestor. the insider cultural references to the church and how black folk fashion identity all make this special.

this video was probably made by someone literally 11 - 13 years old because instead of doll maker websites and dress up games, they have tiktok accounts and images of influencers. it’s so funny how months long discourse, articles etc arise from these videos

why is the library closed
We’re coming for the illegal smoke shop on your block.
After securing new tools from New York State allowing NYC to padlock shops illegally selling cannabis, we launched a five-borough initiative to weed out and shut down these unlawful operations. 🔒

i think it’d be a critical misunderstanding of the point of the meme which is to mock the idea of being demure. the only joke jools is making is that she isn’t demure.

young people buy digital cameras, record players etc. go analog, and there’s a rising interest in fashion culture / fashion history. definitely indicates to me that there should be a matching rise in print magazine sales.

me explaining that it was labeled hipster but you weren’t allowed to identify as hipster it was unspoken and considered being a poser to acknowledge the obvious and intentional signaling we were all doing and self identify

Y’all are obsessively torturing yourselves with hard topics and internet arguments day in and day out, and it is putting so much stress on your brain and taking years off your life, and making you miserable but you won’t quit because you’re addicted and in denial.

you should start collecting vintage high quality fashion pieces now more than ever. companies are implementing technology to cut corners and make clothes as poorly fitted / as lazily as humanly possible

lash extensions = you wake up beautiful, they’re semi permanent. lip injections as well, etc ever since then i knew we’d have more and more minimalist makeup because it implies inherent genetic advantage: naturally good skin, long lashes, full lips, even if untrue.

this doesn’t make sense but this reminds me of what people have been writing about how people talk about music and fashion now, as if they’re industry insiders and executives instead of the audience
if I was Drake I’d just buy the masters/pub to not like us fr! Like if that’s an option then I’d bite that bullet.

Do you understand what I mean by shapes and patterning, and design? these designs are so dynamic as if they were made to be viewed on social media on a small phone, but they’re from like 20 years ago. Why aren’t the girls doing this

I wish non-Black poc understood the media and public don’t care about their issues because they just don’t care— not because they’re “too busy caring about Black people”. Regardless of Black people or Black issues, your crisis doesn’t have visibility because of racism, not us.

there are about a billion books, news articles, teen vogue links, movies, documentaries etc. where you can learn about racism, the whole “educate me” thing isn’t going to work anymore, we literally live in the future sis lmao. the world is in your hand, educate yourself.

when i was 17, an article published that supposedly scientifically proved that black women were the least attractive women on earth. it was on the news. if you’ve ever had the option to just engage beauty or fashion culture without thought, it’s because you’re privileged.

the anti-reading, anti-trying, “it’s not my fault i can’t (go outside, make friends, read books)” people are outnumbered. people are trying, outside, reading, supporting the arts, creating art, meeting people

so many “video essays” on youtube are just plagiarized sentence after sentence of viral tweets / statements everyone has said 100x before that we’re all mostly in consensus with, it’s so scary. and they never even have an actual opinion

“brat summer is just about rich people having fun” genuinely what does this mean… brat summer isn’t… real… it’s not a revolutionary holiday being co-opted, it’s the name of a famous major artist’s album marketing campaign for their album… what are y’all———
