Dirty girls documentary

So, basically this short film/documentary is about a group of school girls (they’re 13/14 at the time??) at a private school in California who are are influenced by the ‘riotgrrrl’ movement of the early to mid 90s. The sisters, Amber and Harper, lead this and one of the rumours spread by classmates is that Amber ‘hasn’t washed her hair since Kurt Cobain died’.Even though they are made fun of and labelled as ‘dirty girls’ because they allegedly never shower, they still retain their ideas and just try to be themselves surrounded by snobs and some who are just confused which I too understand. I find the whole concept very interesting, i highly recommend this to u so watch it if you want xxx i think that, because I wasn’t around at the time, the idea of proper subcultures really intrigues me. I occasionally go back and watch it, + it always makes me want to jump up and down to bikini kill. (it’s on YouTube by the way- just remembered I can link it so I will) Ps. The soundtrack, ‘Batmobile’ liz phair, is great too. I fucking love the girly sound demos. Pps. even if you think the riot grrl movement is flawed (which it was in many ways)I still think anyone would enjoy the documentary, even someone completely unaware of the culture around the bands of that era. Ok bye, just realised I’ve written loads and if you cba reading this I don’t blame you.

all this panic

i firmly believe that nothing is as intoxicating or intense or dreamy as teenage girl friendships, and this documentary shoves you right in the sticky, messy heart of them

loving tremendously and deeply

friends, partners, pets, neighbours, people you see once and never again, lines from your favourite poems, voicenotes your sister sends every week, eating chinese food on the street with an old friend, the part in bizarre love triangle that goes "EVry time i seeeee you fallin i GET down on my kneeees and pray".... i used to be so cautious! but time is short and life is nothing. i'll never be cautious again!
