Hey guys!

So I guess we hit the algorithm or something, because we have been slammed with creeps, OF, etc lately, and as you know that is NOT what we want here!

So I have made this a restricted subreddit.

If you are legit and want to join, just drop me a message! All genuine people are welcome (and wanted)! 🙂

Happy 10th Anniversary to Marnie and Desi!

(because...I realised when the show ends, they are still legally married....)

They were married in 2016, so Happy 10th Anniversary! Or something!

(yuck)

Edit: Thank you for the award!!

Girls is starting to feel like a period piece now...

The first episode of Girls aired almost 15 years ago (yikes), and I’ve started realizing….it’s starting to feel like a period piece.

(And before anyone comes at me, I’m their age and watched it when it originally aired).

And this is not just a nostalgia lens thing…I kind of hated struggling through my 20s (hello 2008 financial crisis!) and much prefer my current age. And it’s more than the clothes and phones (though it can be jarring to remember how bad old school iPhones were sometimes).

Being a creative was different. Nobody is trying to become a lifestyle influencer – rather they are aiming for being admired for an actual creative achievement (writing, music, etc). Social media exists, but it feels like a thing they use rather than a thing they’re living inside of, or worse a…goal?

And….sigh…NYC feels like a time capsule.

I lived there too at this time (in a much worse apt), and this kind of NYC/Brooklyn feels historical. Brooklyn has freaking Hermes now. vs in Girls-era Brooklyn, people are just hanging out in apartments, showing up at random parties, flowing between social circles. It feels like a version of life where there was still a little more room for authenticity in a way?

Thoughts?

Ageism is NOT allowed – go elsewhere!

Hi guys! As always, 99.9% of you are amazing. But I've seen some less-than-amazing people making fun of people's age lately.

Anyone doing that needs to take that trash attitude elsewhere.

Style is about mentality, creativity and perspective. End of.

If you see any ageism (or other attempts at bullying), please report it so we can take care of it ASAP.

FASHION THOUGHTS

  • Pat Field is a QUEEN who is very much missed 😭
  • That said, the fashion is fine. Nothing compared to the original, but nice.
  • Miranda has >!lost her edge fashion-wise and character-wise (more on that later).!<
  • Emily and Amari >!(aka 2026 Emily/Assistant number 1) !<are the winners, along with Stanley Tucci.
  • >!Dior!< is way over-represented (apparently they were early entrants into the film...it shows)....that said I Stan hard for >!Dior!<, so I'm not complaining haha. 
  • BUT it does take you out of the film. The product placements is as intense as that of Diet Coke and Starbucks. It's distracting.
  • See comments below for a pic of my fav outfit (I can't put it in the post body for some reason).

FILM Thoughts

TL;DR - 6.5/10. Fun to watch, doesn't hold a candle to the original.

  • I liked the commentary of major media's modern landscape vs that of the original film in 2006
  • ...BUT it's simply bizarre how >!influencers and social media go mostly unmentioned! Those are IMO by far the biggest shift!!<
  • Miranda>!has lost her edge. I get part of it is because she is less powerful (since her magazine is MUCH less powerful) but it made her a bit...boring and vanilla?!<
  • Andy >!suddenly being put as features editor at Runway is hugely unrealistic and out of left field, both in the film and in any concept of reality.!<
  • Andy's >!love story felt patched on and frankly annoying in a movie that should focus on her career.!<
  • How the hell does Andy >!go from clearly under-paid journalist with brown water running out of her pipes, to living in a multi-million dollar apartment, even if her salary "was doubled"? !<
  • The idea of Miranda >!flying coach being horror of horrors made me recall the same thing in the "Sex and the City 2" movie. It works more here, but it still feels...ugh!<
  • I did not like the narrative of >!"Billionaires solve everything!", Especially from Lucy Liu, whose character is barely fleshed out, and whose interest in the magazine seems barely there?!<
  • Emily wanting to >!have been post-work buddies with Andy back in 2006? And now in 2026? Really? Seemed falsely saccharine and patched on.!<
