I’ll watch it simply for the Rachel Rabbit White connection (which happened 10 years after this movie’s time frame). She’s been tweeting about how the ad campaign has nothing to do with the movie or how weird it is in general.

what's your opinion on her? i was kind of into her during the whole ~hooker laureate of the dirtbag left~ thing, but increasingly i feel like she's just yet another version of the emperor's new clothes, both the poetry & the persona

I am still not entirely sure how I feel about her/her work! I def see what you’re talking about, and I guess that’s been my problem. I had heard about her writing a few years back when I was interested in sex workers (from an academic perspective and just general curiosity). She has some essays I found on Thought Catalog which feel more reflective/introspective than what she publishes now. I think the persona has taken center stage since that’s what is getting her Vogue pictorials. I haven’t read enough of her poetry to have an opinion about it, because for all the brouhaha around it I have only seen maybe 2 poems at most available online. I don’t blame her for any of her actions- make money b

I met her like 5-6 years ago randomly in Brooklyn and am still semi-dumbfounded with what she's become. I hope she feels freer because at one point the SW was really making her extremely anxious.

damn, that's so interesting considering how she projects herself now

[backtoblack]

It's pretty shitty how a lot of magazines are fascinated by SWers and love to publish content about them, but then can be super puritanical when it comes to actually hiring them or understanding the importance of not outing someone.

RRW is so interesting to me too but also drives me nuts!!! whenever I listen to a podcast with her, I'm like she seems chill but then the persona she projects online drives me crazy. also her poetry is mediocre at best tbh...

I did scroll back on her Instagram once and it's crazy how different she looks with the work she's had done

[scoundreldays]

Oh sweet I will have to deep dive her Insta later, I’ve forgotten what she looked like before surgery!

I remember an article about her where it mentioned how she was making her way around a party with a medical walker as she just had her BBL done in Los Angeles on a sugar daddy’s dime. Her recent photos are looking a bit uncanny valley lately because her lips look like they can’t close/move.
