In Episode 23, Danielle and Cheryl are joined once again by Boston-based photographer Melissa Ostrow and they’re talking about photos – and how everyone looks the same in them these days. Going far beyond following trends, the trio has decided that platforms like TikTok and Instagram (influencers, they’re looking straight at you) are taking creativity away and pushing one similar look that lacks individuality. Cheryl, leaning on her early love of magazines that forged her career path, digs deep into the world of ‘80s glossies like Seventeen, Sassy and Teen Beat and how teens would grab a little inspiration from each to make their looks their own. Melissa believes it’s all performative these days – doing it for photos – which would explain bizarre trends like Bed Parties and social media “hauls,” showing off and showing everyone what you bought for yourself or your kid.
