Janine from Retro Avocado is featured on this week's episode of Nicstalgia. She gets the inspo for her nostalgic content, her favorite music videos and 90s movies, and which fashion trends & hairstyles that she loves vs. ones that she’d leave in the past.
Our convo is all about channeling enthusiasm and joy into everything you do, from wearing butterfly clips to watching old music videos to making playlists. You’ll find out what mall store has the most accurate Y2K-era clothing that looks like it was literally stolen from our closets, and remember how sending text messages and the Hairagami were VERY expensive!!
We touch on the compelling journalism that is our elementary school journals, what it was like for Janine to style on-set for an emo music video, how I live vicariously through apparently ~everyone~ around me who got to be in an emo music video in the 2000s, and how music was so much more dramatic back then. Important PSA: anyone looking to cast an emo music video, please contact me immediately!!!
