Hi Wrecklings!
This week has me watching the Brandy Melville documentary, it’s a heavy one. Also, a year and a half after The Wing’s sudden closure, seems like they’re cleaning house:
“China shuts down influencer's accounts over fake story”- Hopefully it’s only her social accounts that vanish…

“Woman Becomes Accidental Beauty Influencer After Hilarious Videos Go Viral”- I hate that that’s probably also my correct shade.
“‘My hoo haa is gonna be out’: US Olympians slam Nike for skimpy women’s track kit”- Come on Nike.
“This May Be Detroit’s Version Of The Viral ‘Willy Wonka Experience’ That Failed”- Wow, almost half a mil for that?
