Pop Culture News of the Week
The best of my FYP and what is making me giggle…
Overcompensating: The venn diagram between people who love bennydrama7 and play Big Silly Trivia…well, it’s really just one circle. The glittering arrival of Benito Skinner’s upcoming original show ‘Overcompensating’ is carrying me through these final freezing bits in NYC, and the teaser was released this week!
Labubu: Last week I came face to face with one of these keychained fluffy monsters on my friend Joe’s bag. Since then, my FYP has been flooded with unboxings, tiny outfits, and stories of Labubu theft. If you’re wondering, “Labubu is a character and brand of plush toys created by Hong Kong designer Kasing Lung, marketed by Pop Mart, known for its round, furry body, wide eyes, pointed ears, and mischievous smile with nine serrated teeth”
Ariana Grande is releasing the Brighter Days Deluxe along with a short film at midnight (it’ll be out when you’re reading this). I miss seeing Galinda edits on my screen every day.
I can’t stop listening to Selena Gomez’s new song, Bluest Flame and picturing a 75° day on a rooftop..with a spritz in hand...and neither can TikTok. One of my favorite manifestation techniques is an over-caffeinated power-walk, picturing the life of my dreams while listening to bubblegum pop music.
