No shade to the IG/tik tok fashion girls but the Twitter fashion girls are engaging with fashion in a completely different perspective. It’s archival, it’s researched based, it’s critically engaging with the work, live commentary on red carpets etc. all with a side of satire/wit
The fact that this platform hasn’t zoned in on fashion partnerships like other social channels is beyond me. I think a part of it is, a lot of fashion voices on here aren’t in it for the visual exposure. They don’t tend to center themselves in their content..
…Which i guess isn’t as marketable as say a tik tok girl that films every thing and develops a brand attached to being in front of the camera.
There is a large faction of fashion kids on here with distinct voices, points of view, skill etc. that aren’t as comfortable on camera or voiceover that are overlooked for their more charismatic peers on IG & Tik Tok. Words and visuals are their safe space.
Now granted they could just pitch to publications to get their voice out there but that in itself starts a whole other conversation about networking, & access etc.
Whereas their more visual social platform peers are exposed to more virality and offered endorsements, front row seats, articles, etc.

I’m taking a break from writing and watching #TheCourtshipNBC and my god i have thoughts!
First, how & why are concept dating shows still being green-lit? Like it’s a genre that is still going strong and I just want you know why? #TheCourtshipNBC
But also there’s something so camp about this concept. A dating show centered around Jane Austen/English regency romance—is so bad that it’s almost interesting?? #TheCourtshipNBC

I love Miss Sohee, like LOVE! But i hate that her recent artisanal collection is supported and tied to Dolc* & Gabb*n* 🤮 it’s giving pr stunt on their end and i hate that!
I love her work so much but seeing them attach themselves to her is gross
I hate that they just have all these damn coins

Today marks 40 years since the first cases of HIV surfaced. We lost a generation of our Black queer foremothers & fathers and subsequently parts of our oral history due to the disgusting, mishandling of this virus.
I say it all the time but as a Black POZ man living now, I always can’t help but to think of Patrick Kelly, Willie Smith and all the Black & Brown men and women who’s lives were cut short, of all the unmarked graves, of the stories taken from us..
Living through this pandemic made me constantly think of what our queer foremothers/fathers experienced height of the AIDS epidemic, losing all those beautiful lives, with no answers, no brighter days in sight

Black barbershops are a cesspool of ignorance, misogyny, homophobia, toxic masculinity, political incorrectness.. a place for cis black men to talk shop and be problematic and as a socially conscious black gay man I refuse support them any further!!
Why are gay men such a hot topic for cis black men? I’m at the barbershop and they were discussing this beauty/body waxing place next door and how they wish they could be a fly on the wall (which is predatory and disgusting in its self)
Then they start talking about a gay man that works there referring to him as “the fruity” and re affirming that problematic ass idea that cis men have that all gay men are attracted to every man saying “you don’t want the fruity waxing you”

Not to be that guy (because i talked about these type of people the other day) but i truly feel sorry for this generation and their music award shows.. like where’s the fashion, the iconic music performances, the pop culture cross over moments.
It truly is a musical era of mediocrity. Taylor Swift, Camilla Cabellos, Shawn MWhoever, bad bunny
The VMAS just isn’t what it use to be, pop music just isn’t what it use to be 🥴🥴
