80% of the time her outfits are misses. I was trying to find some of her spring/summer outfits that I liked and it took me ages.
Wow she actually looks nice and, dare I say it, normal in these !
Is she recycling an old photo again?
These are really nice!
At least she stopped at the beret. I was worried she'd start wearing a string of onions around her neck and carrying a baguette.
That's what I thought at first but then she posted a video soon after saying "I came back to Oxford just for a night" I mean I'm really confused as to why she went back to just spend one night at Oxford especially when term finished weeks ago and it's coming across that she doesn't know what to do with herself during this half term.
You just know she wears war effort utilitarian underwear (or as my grandmother used to call it 'ration fashion') made of old curtains because it's an 'aesthetic'.
Or she was never her friend and was just tolerating to play the friend for possible free stuff in reward. Lot of relationships are interested, that wouldn't be surprising.
I think it's the resurgence of early 2000s culture in general! I work with teenagers and they're all watching Bring It On, 10 Things I Hate About You, etc and wearing millennial outfits, loving the whole preppy aesthetic, etc
I assume it's a similar interest to what people in the 70s had for the 50s, or the 80s and 90s had for the 60s (revival of the mod aesthetic in the 80s and then the psychedelia in the 90s).
I am always slightly amazed that Friends has become popular again in the whole Y2K trend. If ever a show was ripe for cancelling, it’s that one, and yet people seem to love it. Weird.
Nostalgia is a huge factor. People will overlook a lot for nostalgia.
What these have in common is that she's not cosplaying as a WW2 orphan. Some people can pull off dressing vintage but it takes a bit of effort to avoid looking like an old lady or a child. Usually you need to style your hair and wear makeup to look chic and cohesive. And she doesn't do that bc it's too grown up for her
She still has the same literary agent for now, but I can't imagine they'll keep Ruby on the books indefinitely considering it's gaining them nothing but wasted/unpaid time, shoddy, plagiarised first drafts and endless rejections.It’s been a while, I seriously wonder how Ruby’s writing is going? She still working on that novel ‘Palisades Lost’? Does she still have a literary agent? Is she working on something new for her ‘debut novel’? Love to take a peak on how that’s going.
I’m just interested cause I’m a writer myself im interested in knowing maybe a bit too much
If I had to guess, I'd say Palisades is referring to the setting. For example,From what little she's shown, it's (big shock) about a self-insert Ruby clone in rural England who lives next to some fields. In a classic display of Ruby stupidity, I think the title refers to medieval fences (the book seems to be set during unspecified "olden times").Thanks to all who replied to my Gilmore Girls question. The nostalgia explanation makes sense, though it's depressing to realise that the 2000s are now classed as retro haha.
I 100% believed that Palisades Lost was a joke title created by someone on this thread. Then I did a Tattle search to see where the 'joke' originated and all I can say is WTF it's the actual title.

This sounds like the sort of place Ruby would choose to set a novel.

Oh no that's even worse.
My mind went to Pacific Palisades because a lot of recent, popular YA novels (e.g. We Were Liars) have been about rich kids. I never would have guessed the title was referencing Ye Olde Medieval Fences. Let's hope there's more to the plot than 'we've lost our fence' because that doesn't sound very engaging.Either of these options are preferable to the (admittedly rather niche) third one, which is that she is trying to sound very cultured and obscure by referencing the 2005 masterpiece The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! by Sufjan Stevens, a.k.a. the one who has my whole heart.Oh no that's even worse.
