I have come to the conclusion that I am Katinka. I must’ve been highly influenced by her ever since I first watched Zoolander when I was 9 or 10 years old, I remember thinking how bitchy-cool she was. I refused to wear anything from Kmart and started to find an interest in high fashion.. though I don’t want to be in the fashion industry anymore because its way too stressful and superficial for my liking. I kinda have her hairstyle and frequently slap on the red lippy. Today I was bitching to my friend about my exboyfriend’s new girlfriend (haha shutup), I was being very Katinka-eque by saying “Ergh, she wears imitation Converse shoes and Piping Hot jumpers. It’s repulsive!”
Thankyou Katinka for being such a significant role model in my life, you are apart of who I am today ;)
Baruch and Roll: I wrote an email to a fashion blogger/etsy seller
whose blog I really like, about why she chooses not to feature people of colour or fat people or other marginalized bodies particularly often. She responded that she didn’t want to justify her content choice with me. Fair enough. I sent her one last email back, which I thought I might share with…
