Mean Girls: A close look on female aggression and ambition in Asia
While we revisited the ultimate cult classic: Mean Girls, it occurred to us that 'relational aggression and 'female ambition' were manifested in different ways in our cultures. We definitely grew to love and adore a lot of character traits displayed by strong female teen queen bees like Regina George, Sharpay Evans, Blair Waldorf, Cheryl Blossom…etc. However, it does tricky when they're always portrayed as villains! Also, BIG SHOUTOUT to Mr.Ms. “五十+1人“ for leaving us a comment titled #好奇你們的求學背景 ! We spent some time addressing your question so please let us know if that was helpful! --- Enjoying this?

Hot Takes II : Stand-Up In China? How does censorship affect humor? (Reacting to televised stand-up programs in China)
After watching Mrs. Maisel, we stumbled upon some female Chinese comedians! Why is it hard for two third-culture kids to relate to Chinese stand-up? Is it because of the censored content or are we really out of touch? How do female comedies try to thrust punches in a misogynistic society? --- Enjoying this? Find us on Instagram @tittietattles !

Bridgerton: How do Asians handle gossip and girls like Daphne?
Would something like Bridgerton, or even Gossip Girl even work as an Asian drama series? How does the idea of 'gossip' resonate with Asians in a cultural sense, and why would / wouldn't a Whistledown/Gossip Girl hierarchy work in Asian society? What do we think about Daphne beyond Phoebe Dnyevor's divine beauty? Would she fit in an Asian community if we all went to school together? Tune in and tell us what you think? Enjoying this?

Short Takes I : What would Meghan Markle do if she were Asian? (Reacting the Oprah Interview)
Both British and US media have taken their sides on what to make of Meghan and Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah. As Asians, we're finding the hype rather interesting. We couldn't help but wonder: How would things have unravled if Meghan were Asian? Here's our reaction to the interview and what we find intriguing as two Asian gals. Enjoy this episode? Great!

Gilmore Girls: Rory is the real Asian of the show || Part One
Lane and Mrs. Kim are the cutest and the only Asian Americans on the show with a complete character arc. But honestly, for us, Rory is the one we identify the most from an "Asian" perspective. Guess Ms. Amy Sherman-Palladino didn't realize how much Rory's character would appeal to her Asian audience. Enjoying this?

Trailer: Tittie Tattles Is Here!
Join Sydney and Phoebe on Tittie Tattles, where we “try” to put an Asian-lens on the popular shows you know and love. We are two girls who grew up in Asia with a love of Western pop culture and we want to share our culturally nuanced takes on our favorite pop culture icons. This is very interesting for us because we are from two East Asian countries with the most intense relationship ever! We’re very excited to navigate the differences between being Taiwanese or Chinese, while addressing Eastern and Western cultural nuances, and what being an Asian woman means after...

Can this algorithm help Princeton students find love?
Last month, The Marriage Pact survey swept through campus, promising to find students “their optimal marital back-up plans” through a mathematical algorithm. The ‘Prince’ podcast team partnered with The Prospect to see how the social experiment fared on Princeton’s campus. On this Valentine’s Day episode of Daybreak, we speak with Phoebe Park ’21 and Andrew White ’23 — a USG officer who helped bring the Marriage Pact to Princeton and a gap year student who received a particularly strange match, respectively. Today’s episode was written by Francesca Block and produced under the 145th managing board of the Prince. All int...
