I was hopeful about de-influencing and I knew a few people that were using de-influencing to talk about how to get more life from your clothes and shoes and learning how to mend them or taking them to be fixed. But as I say more of the trend pop up with other people it feels like it soured and became about products and not learning to be conscious of your consumption.
When I first heard the term, De-influencing, silly me thought it was a move away from influencing, but now I realise it's just a ploy to reestablish relationships to sell more.
I don't know where else to ask this but I would really like to hear your opinion about drag queens vs beauty culture, for example how some "drag aesthetics" (i.e. ultra "fishy", exaggeration of some "feminine" traits) perpetrate inaccessible beauty standards in the name of entertainment and "celebration of women and queer people". I really enjoy drag and learned a lot about the queer community by learning about this art form, but I sometimes have a discomfort about how the queens portray and address "femininity", especially in regards to younger audiences that are more influenceable. Have you ever wondered about the impact of those representations on beauty culture, especially for younger women and queer people?

Yep. It’s officially Bizzarro World. I’m starting to feel like Zod imprisoned in that flat thing in “Superman 2”.
Looking back on it, Terrance Stamp was serving lewks, even in the Phantom Zone.
I was optimistic about de-influencing, for like a week, and then i saw the first tiktok with the title ‘re-influencing’. I cant even.
Got an ad for plant venom FACE WATER just wanted to share if you haven’t heard of it. I hadn’t.
Well spoken..er, written, as usual. Huzzah!!
