Is being a gatekeeper really THAT bad?
I can’t help myself.
I spend hours and days and years obsessing over my music library so I have the perfect playlist for every mood I’m in. I carefully curate the clothes I wear down to the hair and makeup I need to match. I spend my waking life accidentally finding the perfect coffee shop with the warmest people to make sure I start my workday right. But do I ever feel the need to share that with strangers so they can do it too?
NOPE.
Maybe just maybe, we’ve forgotten that the art of curating your own life * just for you* is OK.
We each hold the keys to our own personal style of joy.
On this episode, we go for round 2 with one of most stylish Melbourne-based gatekeepers Hayley aka Flossy (check our part 1 HERE)
Flossy is a Melbourne-based graphic designer and artist with an avant-garde approach to traditional design. She honed her craft in the magazine and streetwear industries, developing a distinct visual style that blends punk aesthetics, femme nostalgia and post-modernist design. Recently, she showcased her work internationally with her debut solo exhibition in Tokyo.
Together we cover Pilates scams, Adobe hacks, pro-gatekeeping, the perks of being mysterious, and the little things that inspire us along the way.
The fun fact is, the 3 of us are femme identifying artists in our 30s living and making In the age of overconsumption and information overload. It feels gross sometimes. But here, we’re getting real about not being perfectly plugged or unplugged into the super information highway. Yes, some days are about giving in to the addiction to our phones to escape the depressing realities of the world, but other days we learn to fall in love with a tree on our street. And in the middle, we laugh and learn about who we are and what we want to do about all of IT.
So grab a snack and let’s hack, scam, and GITn2it gatekeepers!
