In this episode of the Speakeasy, Lwini (@winisays) and Nicole (@nicoledaniellexo) are joined by fashionista and creative Ava Asly after a style-inspo tweet turns sour and sparks a bigger conversation surrounding the word "bimbo".
Is it an aesthetic, an empowering and subversive political movement or simply a demeaning slur? The gals chat about the meaning of the term, their own complicated relationships with the word, its racial implications, the sliding "bimbo scale" and weigh in on the notorious Oscars' slap.
Make sure to follow Ava on Instagram and check out her brainchild, Discharge Magazine!
And please check out For Harriet's video essay "Wap and the Spectacle of Sexual Liberation" which Nicole referenced as part of the discussion.
Apologies for the dicey audio towards the end, we hope you enjoy the episode nonetheless!
