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.

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.

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.

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.

In this special holiday episode, we put on our rose-colored glasses and evoke the shopping malls of our youth to identify a saccharine, age-regressive genus of commodity fetishism hereby known as Sugar Cookie Consumerism. Strolling with a metaphorical Cinnabon in hand, we discuss pre-Stories Instagram, the epidemic of teen pregnancy in the 2000s — 2010s, dessert-scented bath and body products, financial illiteracy, One Direction-era Anglophilia, and Victoria’s Secret PINK as the ultimate girlhood brand.

Following our spiritual tithes to the reigning queens of fall The Pioneer Woman and Miss Christian Girl Autumn herself, Caitlin Covington, we wage war against Phoebe Bridgers and the notion of ‘spooky season,’ question the efficacy of ‘chosen families,’ forecast Protestant work ethic-chic as the next esoteric aesthetic, and doxx our Starbucks orders.. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .Links:Image references for this episode (essential viewing!!!): https://www.pinterest.com/nymphetalumni/ep-15-christian-girl-autumn/Domestic Cozy by Venkatesh Rao: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/series/domestic-cozy/Christian Girl Autumn meme explainer: https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/8/14/20804030/christian-girl-autumn-meme-hot-girl-summer-explainedBiz’s essays on alt-trad fashion and Godposting:https://i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/g5b4d9/catholicism-alt-fashion-trend-think-piecehttps://various-artists.com/godposting/Caitlin Covington’s blog: https://www.southerncurlsandpearls.com/ The Pioneer Woman: https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/ (she’s on tour rn...)

On today’s episode, we discuss the phenomenal appeal of nepotism. Are Tim Burton vibes so strong that they spiritually transferred themselves onto the Depp family genetic code? Why is Bella Hadid’s botched Aphex Twin realness so transcendently beautiful? Is the biohacked former ugly duckling (Kylie) more resilient than the low-maintenance white girl (Kendall)? These are just a few of the hard-hitting questions we ask during this exegesis of the reluctantly glamorous nepo baby.Episode image board: https://pin.it/4NnJz0R (Warning: contains many nepo baby pix) This is a public episode.

Following the Great Nymphet Alumni Hiatus of July 2021, we consider the vampire gf, examining why everyone’s dressing like characters from Twilight and The Vampire Diaries. We discuss how this trend signals a new era of modesty and the end of the eternally exposed midriff, classify the symptoms of Unremarkable Brunette Protagonist Syndrome, and wax poetic about the power of Converse, camisoles and sweater paws. We also break down the forces behind the revival of late aughts fashion and reveal ourselves to be long torso fetishists in the lineage of Ingres and Alexander McQueen.
