The Year of the Bob!
This Week's Pop Culture Round Up
It is no secret that I love a Bob. A Bob was my signature hairstyle in high school and thankfully I have brought it back with my braids (also my signature style) in the past few years. When Nicki Minaj said she was known for the Bob she was actually talking about me! For anyone wondering, my Libby Era is going great and I lowkey want to keep it going the next time I get my braids done. And then possibly bring back the Loud Era for the summer but idk I gotta keep the girls on their toes!
Anyways I always love when a celebrity debuts a new Bob. It feels like that we are a part of some sort of Bob family (at least for the duration of them having the hairstyle.) Caresha honestly put it best:
Here are a few celebrities that are on my Bob watch:
Zendaya giving her best Raye impression:
Welcome to the Bob family Zendaya it looks great on you! Apologies for this photo not being landscape this was the best one I could find (on my work laptop - dont ask) that really showcases the essence of her Bob.
Marren Morris:
My friend Jack saw her perform this week and she had a Bob. I tried to find some pics, but I think it was too recent. This Bob is very important to me because if you recall she had this Bob during The Middle Era (pictured above) and if anyone knows me you know how much I love that song. I’m manifesting that we have another pop smash hit on our hands.
Hayden Panettiere in Scream 6:
Hayden’s Bob was its own character tbh and it was eating Hayden lowkey! Hayden can do no wrong and I honestly hope she will cut her actual hair to embrace the year of the Bob! Side note: She was really acting her ass off in this movie as pictured with her weird facial expression above.
Caroline Flack (RIP):
Me and my roommate are currently watching Love Island from the first season, and I always comment on her Bob. I really hope she doesn’t change her hair in the later seasons. Her blunt ass Bob and her terrible style are so nostalgic in these first few seasons.
That White Bitch with the Bob:
Sza was so real for this lyric. This really is a good bob. A bob with bangs gives a girl extra power. I need to watch this movie now. Shout out to Michelle Pfieffer!
Jennifer Coolidge is the Queen of Camp
If you haven’t seen this Jennifer Coolidge W magazine shoot please do yourself a favor and read it because it will make your day.
She talks about relating to Tanya in The White Lotus in how she doesn’t always know what she’s worth. I personally am captain of the Jennifer Coolidge love train. She is honestly the funniest white woman in the game! There will never be another! My #1 favorite Jennifer! Then Lawernce, then Aniston, #thatotherone is not on the list👩🏿⚖️ This shoot was directed by the Daniels who directed Everything Everywhere All at Once. Above are some pictures from the shoot, but they’re all incredible so go read the article.
Fun Fact: The Daniels directed (and one of them starred in) the Turn Down for What music video. I read their profile in NY mag and it was such a delightful read. Those two guys are now in my dream blunt rotation (with Jennifer of course).
Avril Lavigne Blink Twice If You Need Help
Avril Lavigne has seemingly confirmed her relationship with Tyga after calling off her engagement to Mod Sun. Personally, I think this is a very unserious relationship and I will be shocked if it lasts more than a couple months. I think Avril is probably just looking for a cute fling now that she’s newly single. She is following in her fellow celebrity white women who break up with their long-term white partners and then date black men (See: Kris Jenner, Adele, Kacey Musgraves, etc.)! Tyga seems to really love keeping it in the family because Avril is signed to Travis Barkers label. Who we know is the husband of Kourtney whose brother has a kid with Blac Chyna who shares a kid with Tyga. If you need a really good explainer of why this paring is so interesting this TikTok does a great job. They also were seen front row at the PFW fashion show. I personally was looking at the person with the bedroom chic moment next to them. Whoever this is, keep doing what you’re doing! I just want to know how they got the bedding to stay up. I’m gonna need a behind the scenes of this ASAP.
Coming soon:
I will be listening and reviewing the new Kali Uchis album Red Moon in Venus and the new Miley Cyrus album Endless Summer Vacation. As well as the new Magic Mike and Scream movies! So, stay tuned for those hopefully this weekend! 👩🏿⚖️
