Seventh Edition

Hey everyone.

Girl Overload here.

Highbrow vs Lowbrow.

You’ve probably seen these charts everywhere, from magazines such as The New York and Cosmopolitan.

Here’s an exclusive list of what I consider Highbrow v.s. Lowbrow, that you won’t find anywhere else.

Let’s start with Lowbrow, shall we?

Lowbrow

Fit teas, extreme clothing brands, and practically every brand that screams, YOU NEED TO BE THIN.

Absolutely not.

So Brandy Melville, where all their clothes is size 0 (size 4 in UK/AU clothing) and all their models are thin, attractive, and white?

Sorry, you’re lowbrow. Also the fact that you claim size 0 is the so-called “idealistic” size that all teen girls should be aiming for?

Disgusting. Enough said.

Another lowbrow thing?

And not necessarily the show itself.

As much as this show produces bad body image to young women, the main issue here isn’t even the actual show nor the contestants.

It’s the show’s official face and frontrunner, Tyra Banks.

Official actress and activist Yaya De Costa has spoken about Banks mistreating her while she was on ANTM. According to De Costa, Banks was a colourist who said rude comments about her dark skin. More is yet to be uncovered.

Former ANTM contestant Tiffany Richardson also claimed that Banks yelled at her when she was eliminated for her alleged “bad attitude.”

Wondering why Banks was only on America’s Got Talent for only one season only? According to Variety, Banks pulled an underage girl’s hair and said that her birth was a “mistake.”

AGT then sued Banks because of this misconduct.

Further information is yet to be known on this topic.

Anyway, let’s move on to Highbrow, shall we?

Highbrow

With her recent sassy speech at the United Nations (sassy in the best way possible, obviously) Greta Thunberg is currently making waves in the environmental and political community.

“You have stolen my dreams, my childhood, with your empty words,” Thunberg poetically says at the United Nations Climate Change Action Summit.

“We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about are your fairy tales of money and eternal economic growth.”

Greta Thunberg

Thunberg sure knows what she’s talking about. With mass fires in California and the Amazon Rainforest, rubbish in the ocean, and people continuously using non-sustainable gases, Greta Thunberg will not stop sharing her voice at important events until people finally open their eyes.

With Thunberg’s huge current influence at the moment, we sure can’t wait to hear more from her.

And finally, here’s a final highbrow idea to catch your fancy:

If you couldn’t catch the sign behind these formidable actors, this is the 2019 Emmy’s.

This coveted event managed to attract all sorts of stars from Jimmy Kimmel to the entire Game of Thrones cast to sisters Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner.

Game of Thrones takes home “best drama,” as they should with all their reputable success.

Saturday Night Live wins “outstanding variety sketch series” and Late Night with John Oliver wins “outstanding variety talk series.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race also wins “outstanding reality competition series.”

Overall “Fleabag” and “Game of Thrones,” both popular television shows, win the biggest on the night of the 2019 Emmy Awards.

The night of the Emmys definitely had it’s highs (many awards and smiling faces) and lows (two Kardashian sisters being laughed at at this year’s Emmy’s- good publicity or bad publicity?) but overall the biggest highbrow occurance of this week definitely goes to the Emmy’s.

That’s all for now.
