Remember Blogging?
When I was probably around 12 I saw a segment on TV about the youngest fashion blogger on the internet. Tavi Gevinsons Style Rookie was one of the first pages I regularly visited aside from handful of youtube channels and flash games. In my later teens I regularly read Rookie Mag online and even ordered two of the yearbooks. But even those didn’t really capture Tavis original Blog.
She would start with a written introduction and the posts would be a mix of magazine pictures, movie screenshots, art, places, playlists and pictures of herself. Basically it was a whole vibe.
The bedroom post
This was my favorite post. It introduced me to The Virgin Suicides which used to be my favorite movie and consequently to Sophia Coppola, to the 1996 version of Romeo + Juliet which is still my favorite movie 13 years later, to Salvation Mountain which is still on my bucket list and to punk zines.
That was back when the internet was hard to navigate, algorythms didn’t send you personalized pictures and playlists and I had to revisit those posts over and over again. Because they were the coolest thing my 12 year old brain had seen. So I kind of want to take up blogging, maybe do a monthly or quarterly big favorites post of my any movies, pictures, songs that sum up my life right now and add some cryptic personal commentary idk. My aesthetic pictures blog is nicotinfrei.tumblr.com and everywhere else im also @nicotinfrei . Thanks!
