Ciao, Bellas! We wrap up the summer with a hop across the pond, taking a detailed look at the land of eternal cities. We talk voluptuous women, Aperol Spritzes, billowing linens, Drake in Ibiza, melting Cadbury chocolates, and more!‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Links:Image Board: https://pin.it/2Xy2GJmEuropean Heat Wave: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/europes-power-system-feels-heat-cooling-demand-soars-2022-07-21/The Grand Tour: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2012/may/04/cargo-culture-grand-tour-unpackedSophia Loren Quotes: https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/10-of-sophia-lorens-best-quotes-about-eating-loving-and-living-well#:~:text=On%20eating%20well,see%20I%20owe%20to%20spaghetti.%E2%80%9DMelting Cadbury Chocolates: https://twitter.com/ladbible/status/1549356961396826117The decline of British seaside towns: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/17/i-do-like-to-be-beside-the-seaside-many-of-our-coastal-towns-need-more-love#:~:text=The%20British%20seaside%20is%20tragically,in%20the%20north%20worst%20affected.Banky's Dismaland: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/aug/20/banksy-dismaland-amusements-anarchism-weston-super-marehttps://www.dazeddigital.com/art-photography/article/41049/1/three-years-legacy-of-banksy-dismaland-weston-super-mare-england-tropicanaBritish all inclusive culture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benidorm_(British_TV_series) This is a public episode.

In this episode, we have a go at the mythological invention that is "That Girl" and ponder why everyone wants to become her. We discuss bullet journaling, Olaplex buns, waking up at dawn, and personal care routines executed with Patrick Bateman-level precision. We also consider what it means to be a young woman entering today's evolving workforce, and the unique influence of the claw-clip-wearing, hybrid-work-model zillennial ... In a moment of anti-productive ecstasy, Biz gets taken out by London transit strikers mid-episode. ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Links:Image Board: https://pin.it/xVUHoFCDa Classic That Girl Content: https://www.tiktok.com/@emalygisell/video/7076510880564858158?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7110236308802897450https://www.tiktok.com/@simplyebs/video/6990560745322859778?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7110236308802897450Da Amazon That Girl Finds: https://www.tiktok.com/@kaelimaee/video/7109905827493858606?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7110236308802897450https://www.tiktok.com/@kaelimaee/video/7116991472053947694?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7110236308802897450Da That Girl Blow-out: https://www.tiktok.com/@delaneychilds/video/7033863907383086382?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7110236308802897450Da Olaplex Bun Tutorial: https://www.tiktok.com/@naomifullmer/video/7059542516462488878?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7110236308802897450Da Emily Mariko Effect: https://mashable.com/article/emily-mariko-viral-tiktok-food-influencer This is a public episode.

In honor of July 4th, we pay tribute to the boldest stripes, the brightest stars, and the bravest hearts of our Great Republic (?). From Realtree and Lana Del Rey to Kapital and William Bradford, we wander the vast spectrum of Americana in our contemporary culture. Official Texas state historian Light Townsend Cummins unpacks the archetype of the cowboy for Sam, Alexi announces her political candidacy, Biz destigmatizes the hot dog, and much, much more!‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Image board: https://pin.it/6OIv11ULinks: -GQ on the Rise of Realtreehttps://www.gq.com/story/rise-of-realtree--"Homos on the Range" https://truewestmagazine.com/old-west-homosexuality-homos-on-the-range/-Vanity Fair on the New Right https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/inside-the-new-right-where-peter-thiel-is-placing-his-biggest-bets -Books by Light Townsend Cumminshttps://www.amazon.com/History-Light-Townsend-Cummins-Books/s?rh=n%3A9%2Cp_27%3ALight+Townsend+Cummins This is a public episode.

In this episode, the mischievous Snapchat ghost comes to haunt us, resurfacing memories of Kylie Lip Kits, Gucci flip flops, and steering wheel selfies. It was the end of the 2010s, the late 2010s, and everyone was so happy: shameless clickbait, globalist pop music, multicultural baddies, and athleisure fetishism ruled supreme. We go straight to the source of the impeccable vibes that paved the way for the Internet as we know it today. ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Image board: https://pin.it/rXdkIFZLinks: -"It was the end of the 60s" TikToks https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTdnvQVut/-Pre-order "Non-Things" by Byung Chul-Han https://www.amazon.com/Non-things-Upheaval-Lifeworld-Byung-Chul-Han/dp/1509551700-"The Age of Instagram Face" by Jia Tolentinohttps://www.newyorker.com/culture/decade-in-review/the-age-of-instagram-face-DJ Khaled gets lost at sea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMHCW1RIqBk -"The Social Photo" by Nathan Jurgensonhttps://www.amazon.com/Social-Photo-Photography-Media/dp/1786635445/ref=sr_1_1?crid=ULU51RDZI9KW&keywords=the+social+photo&qid=1653608431&s=books&sprefix=the+social+photo%2Cstripbooks%2C109&sr=1-1Our YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCWuRssGx4uEnApRjiukYpT-8uWpAB4j7Special shoutout to TikTok user @soggywwaffles who never ceases to inspire us!

This week’s episode dissects the formidable cultural impact of music festivals. We discuss the rise and fall of flower crowns, the anglophone influence on boho-chic, the mournful trajectory of Vanessa Hudgens’s life, all culminating in a heated debate about shoe shining and Sugar Bear Hair gummies. ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Image Board:https://www.pinterest.com/nymphetalumni/ep-23-coachella/Links:Bye Sisterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbMcq3VXmG0Sleevelesshttps://www.amazon.com/Sleeveless-Fashion-2011-2019-Semiotext-Native/dp/1635900964Harmony Korine interviewed by Mark Kellyhttp://www.harmony-korine.com/paper/int/hk/kelley.htmlWikipedia article on Boho-chichttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boho-chic This is a public episode.

In this episode, we reflect on our days at warehouse raves, zine fairs, and house shows to bring you a categorical history of Mass Bushwick, a cultural movement that has expanded far beyond its namesake locale. We chronicle its infectious rise through avant-pop stars, meme pages, and fashion editorials; we discuss the methodology of "turning looks" and the high stakes of club kid nightlife; and we offer our advice to those undergoing the transformative effects of the bleached brow/mullet combo.  ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Image Board:https://www.pinterest.com/nymphetalumni/ep-22-mass-bushwick/ Links: Rihanna's 2017 PAPER cover shoot: https://www.papermag.com/rihanna-paper-2293524292.html?rebelltitem=6#rebelltitem6Luke Blovad's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lukeblovad?lang=enSpinal Fluid Fits: https://www.instagram.com/spinalfluid.fits/Biz's blog post on turning looks: https://sherbert.biz/2016-2017 This is a public episode.

In this episode, prompted by Julia Fox's vocal fry soundbite heard around the world, we question what it really means to be a muse. We reflect on the concept's history – recurring characters include toxic gay besties, troubled aristocrat party-girls, and poetic simps of the 19th century – and ponder the future of creative relationships and divine inspiration. ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Links:Image board:https://www.pinterest.com/nymphetalumni/ep-21-the-nymphet-alumni-muse-ical/ Biz's i-D essay on the fashion archetype:https://i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/5dbgpk/gen-z-fashion-muse-trend  This is a public episode.

Broadcasting live from the Island of the Lost Boys, we bring to you (with humble hearts) a definitive history of the Xandemic period of the 2010s. We discuss the dark underbelly of suburban adolescent malaise, the goblin-hooliganism of Odd Future, the masculine pathologies portrayed in HBO's "Euphoria," and the Benzodiazepinite foundations on which the American suburbs were built... all while dodging real-life bullets in a mysterious Austin parking lot. ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Links:Complex Investigates the Whereabouts of Earl Sweatshirt:https://www.complex.com/music/2011/04/complex-exclusive-we-found-earl-sweatshirtSpecial Immersive Recommended Listening Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCWuRssGx4uFyKfdg8PNqoewE2HKCOB_IImage Board:https://www.pinterest.com/nymphetalumni/ep-20-dark-suburbia-and-the-xandemic/ This is a public episode.

On the first episode of this grand and blessed New Year, we reflect on the Twee phenomenon and its controversial yet adorkable revival. We discuss the everlasting omnipresence of the Twee lifestyle, the aesthetic’s anachronistic child-grandma garb, the pursuit of education for leisure, and the benefits of fetishizing physical media.‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Image board:https://www.pinterest.com/nymphetalumni/ep-19-twee/Links:Twee: The Gentle Revolution by Marc Spizy https://archive.org/details/tweegentlerevolu0000spit/mode/1up?view=theaterZooey Deschanel's Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zooeydeschanel This is a public episode.
