This is B. She has a pop culture blog, a digital agency, eight Instagram accounts and is a fashion columnist, podcaster, travel writer and food and bar reviewer.
So, your entire world is imaginary?
Basically. I am all code in a computer. If the net goes down, I’m done.
Why aren’t you allowed in The Second Row?
A while ago, an Age writer said that bloggers only belong in the second row at events. We got into to a spat about it over socials #bloggergate so I made it my Instagram handle. Now, if I’m in the front row at events, all the other bloggers tell me I’m off-brand.
Weirdest places you’ve gone to while being a travel writer?
- Floyd’s Pelican Bar (Jamaica) – a driftwood bar in the middle of the ocean a guy built cos he had a dream one night. Everyone on it is baked.
- Baby snake photography (Indonesia) – human babies are taken to a natural cave to have a snake wrapped around them.
- Viking World (Dublin) – you can pose with crappy plastic Viking people.
- Palmersaurus (Australia) – Clive Palmer’s robotic dinosaur park in Queensland
- Sound Fantastic World (Shanghai) – the most bizarre experience, I can’t even explain it
- The Rainbow Temple (Vietnam) – a temple that embraces every type of religion. Each monk chooses a religion to study and wears the colour for it at their ceremonies, resulting in a human rainbow.
Why did you decide to start The Fashion Podcast?
Everything out there was too serious, so I made one that was light-hearted. I do it on $0 and it’s usually Top 5 on iTunes Charts, and once it beat Vogue’s! I chat about fashion pop culture, eg:
- the worst trends going at the moment (A: bum bags… like, no.)
- if runway fashion has just become click bait
- Balenciaga’s $2000 IKEA bag
- Who is the better fashion mogul Kylie or Kim (A: Kylie)?
I know you love trolls – but you clearly have no regard for your life. You took on Beyoncé’s style.
I don’t dig her style at all! For eight years I only critiqued badly-dressed white girls, and the second I say boo about Beyonce I’m suddenly called racist. I got trolled HARD. But it’s kewl.. it just means people are reading my stuff so, the more the merrier. I like that people care enough to troll me.
