   LOL, I must be down for that Korean spa vibe then. $100+ though... no thank you. It's not like I haven't shopped from brands that market themselves as sustainable/conscious e.g. Reformation, Sezane, etc but it's not that high on my priorities, and I wouldn't spend that much on loungewear.

   Not gonna lie, I'm kinda excited for this PJ launch. I wouldn't have been down for a makeup launch or Eggie 2.0 but I think a loungewear collab fits her. Launching her own brand is a big risk though and I'm not sure if there's really enough hype around her to keep an online brand afloat. Then again, I have no idea to what lengths her fans will do to obtain her goods. I like the lavender mint hanbok inspired top but with those shorts? They look uncomfortable around the thigh.

   Tsubaki added a post in a topic Korean Englishman/ Jolly / Gabie Kook    16 July

   Ok, I'll try not to be so off-topic, but I have to agree that white mixed kids don't always get a pass. Yes, there's white privilege but you don't have to face blatant discriminatory comments to make you feel like you're ostracized. Mixed kids can feel like they're neither here nor there, just like any of us first gens/second gens. I see a number of instances where interviewers have mentioned SEVENTEEN Vernon's ability in Korean, but there was one particular clip I can't locate where they made a remark that his Korean's so good for a foreigner or something like it, and he had to remind them that he was Korean. He grew up in Korea most of his life and went to school in Korea. If he's not Korean, I don't know what.
   I don't really care if Gabie and Josh are going to have a kid of their own in the near future, but I'll acknowledge that a mixed kid is going to go through some challenges of their own in terms of their identity.
   I liked Korean Englishman back in the day, but I really only hang around to see Ollie. I like seeing Juno as well. And Henry (Ollie's dad).

   I can see why people think of 'How You Like That'... but Gwen Stefani was my first thought. Loved that song.

   Tsubaki added a post in a topic Shane Dawson    10 July

   I used to watch quite of a bit of Shane's old skits and being a kid myself back then, I passed it off as edgy humour because his whole schtick was being a dork and making fun of things. I was wrong in that my idea of racism was blackface and I never stopped to consider how Shanaynay could seriously hurt black women. Being a kid, you just don't have that fine-tuned sense of what's right and what's wrong. You really do get away with a lot of things when you're a rich and famous white male, especially when your audience is under 18.
   I was mostly a Smosh follower but for a short period of time, I followed Shane's releases. When he was dating Lisbug, I started tuning out. I couldn't remember why until some of those videos resurfaced and the stuff he had with his ?pre-teen cousin made me so uncomfortable. You know how it is -- "Don't like, don't watch". I came back when he started doing those 2-part "documentary" series, partly because I get to see what Shane has been up to, and also see what these YouTubers he had collab-ed with.
   When the first accusations of Onision popped up, the first thought that came through my head was whether Shane was like that too. It was a passing thought but no one with good standing on the internet ever came out with anything against him that time. When you've got so many clips out there now, combining all the unsavory remarks he made towards young girls, tweets and podcasts, it's pretty incriminating. I mean, the animal stuff was totally gross but not enough to gross me out to write him off... that was until I actually heard the audio for that cat story. Ew.
   As for James Charles, I'm glad he had the support and the resilience to work through that period. I was never a subscriber of his, but I felt sorry for him when it all happened. I'm not a fan of "cancelling" anyone, but Shane Dawson's cancelled in my books.

   So this weekend, they've got the Hairspray Live streaming, and man, that duet at the end with her and Jennifer Hudson was great. No comment on the social media stuff, I don't follow Ari so I got no clue who she follows and aligns with.

   Sour Candy: It's a nice bop, but nothing meaningful, totally forgettable when the season's over, and definitely not in the leagues of Umbrella (Rihanna). I thought Gaga and Blackpink wouldn't mix well, and tbh, it sounds like someone's mixed a Gaga song with a BP song but it doesn't quite come together.
   Also... is there even a song out there where Jennie doesn't start it off?

   Palette: Yeah, it's a throwback to his old days but who needs 24 shades of mostly-greyscale-and-pops-of-skintone-if-you're-pale in freaking 2020? I'm in line with those who don't personally take offense to it but know that the name's gonna cause some offense. Controversial names -- you've seen in a million times in cosmetics.

   Warby Parker? I don't really shop for prescription glasses online but I heard they have a good try-at-home program.

    Knowing Joan buys a lot of things she sees on Blackpink, I'm surprised she hasn't purchased the Celine Triomphe that I see Lisa wearing. I tried it on today and it's a gorgeous bag. I don't like what Slimane's doing for Celine runway, but I like that bag.

    She's going for that garden gnome look.

    That was what I was gonna say. She's left Joankeem and is committing to the vlogs.

    Whether it be a pink concept for their comeback or a promotional thing... that pink dress gives me Hermione Granger ball gown vibes.

    I finally gave in and watched the vlog. It threw me off too when she revealed the hotel. Not that I think there's people who'd be waiting for Abe outside the hotel.

    Thoughts on Jennie's collab with Gentle Monster? I like the 1996 (as I'm fond of the cat eye sunglasses) but a lot of it is either so trendy that it looks cheap, or so basic that you can find it everywhere else (just like Gentle Monster's own line). PR packages were cute. Chat on the website is a nice touch to share info about the collection.
    I'm looking forward to see the comeback just because I want more music from Blackpink but I don't have high expectations.
