☆ ALICIA’S MONTHLY MEDIA MENTIONS: JULY `22
hiiii!! I’m back for the end of July :) it feels like this month has dragged on forever, but not in a bad way. My days have felt longer, but I feel like I’ve been able to experience so much more in 24 hours. I got a job working in downtown Toronto, so it’s been fun travelling there every day. I also met up with friends more often and have been rejuvenated with a newfound motivation after some encouraging conversations with them. the month started and ended on a high, and I have a feeling I’ll make even better memories and creations in August ♡
Music: (July 2022 Spotify Playlist)
Piero Umiliani
this man makes very sweet music. His songs make me feel like I’m sipping wine made from the fruit of my own vineyard, like I’m floating in the water watching the sun glisten through the waves, like I'm sitting on a patio long past blue hour drinking and just watching people pass me by. My favourites are Lui E Lei, Crepuscolo Sul Mare, Chaser, and Epilogo.
Energy - Sampa the Great, Nadeem Din-Gabisi
Found this song through Holybang’s performance on Street Woman Fighter. It has such a phenomenal intro and pairing it with the visuals from the performance make the song even better.
Don’t Forget My Love - Acoustic - Dipole, Miguel
I truly don’t know why Miguel would collaborate with Diplo to turn such a beautiful song into EDM....when it first came out, I listened to this song on repeat throughout the entire 1 hour commute to work. Miguel’s voice is so special.
POP! - NAYEON
Girly bestie miss queen thank you for bringing back bubblegum Kpop with this masterpiece. I’m so bloody tired of girl crush concepts. Nayeon’s POP! was just a breath of fresh air. Nayeon we love you!! 
Eivør
I attended one of the free concerts at Harbourfront in downtown and saw Eivør’s performance. 
Hot Girl (Bodies Bodies Bodies) - Charli XCX
who fucking produced this song bruh its fire. obviously must be added to everyone’s hot girl walk playlist! 
I'm a hot girl, pop girl, rich girl
I'm a bitch girl, fast girl, catch me if you can girl
You a swerve girl, who the fuck are you girl?
You just wanna be meeeeee
BEAUTIFUL MONSTER - STAYC
I swear to GOD these girls never miss. I especially love the second verse. I love them GOD. 
LOVE DIVE - IVE
I was being stubborn and didn’t really hop on the IVE train until now. I get it. I’m with the program now. Again, IVE who’s your producer?!?! Such a good song I’m adding it to the August playlist.
 FEARLESS - LE SSERAFIM
FEARLESS was such a low-key sounding song I didn’t pay much attention to it when it first came out - I thought it was a cute debut, but man am I addicted to it now. Along with The Great Mermaid, Sour Grapes, and Blue Flame, their debut EP (??? amazing thank you for more than just a single!) was solid af. 
I also just love the girls <3 they seem so sweet. So far, Chaewon has been my love at first sight bias, but as I get to know the girls, Sakura and miss HUH YUNJIN my gay icon are creeping up on Chaewon.
Another note - I was genuinely so surprised to hear they ended Garam’s contract. Such a big move but I’m happy that Source and Hybe are showing they don’t tolerate that kind of nasty behaviour. If y’all need a new 6th member call me. 
Reading:
“Singing My Sister Down” by Margo Lanagan from Black Juice (2004)
I had to read this for my science fiction course. This is such a beautiful soft sci-fi story. I really didn’t expect to relate to this so much, but I could FEEL the family’s grief and sorrow. My family has been going through an especially dysfunctional past few years. Part of me is scared that our Ikky’s actions will result in a similar ending for Lanagan’s Ikky.  
To my Ikky, I’m sorry it’s so hard for me to forgive you. I truly hope you can find it in you to come to terms with all you’ve done and how you can mend the relationships you’ve broken.
The Queer Art of Sitting - Ivana Brehas
I know the meme of gays not being able to sit properly is funny, but Brehas offers an insightful analysis of what this behaviour represents in media. 10/10 I’d really recommend giving this article a read. 
Videos:
Social Medias Obsession With Aesthetics And Curated Identities- Shanspeare on YouTube
Since it’s risen in popularity, I’ve hated the naming of aesthetics happening recently. Genuinely did not have words for my dislike of  “___core” and labelling your style. It made me feel like individualism was on its deathbed and everyone who did advertise themselves as an aesthetic felt like they needed to conform to something, even if it was a niche community. The comments are also quite interesting.
When Hollywood Speaks Chinese, I Cringe | Video Essay - Accented Cinema
It has ALWAYS bothered me when they make non-Chinese mfs speak Mandarin to make them seem intelligent. Like - your poor pronunciation is not impressive! The same goes for when they try to make an intelligent or intimidating character speak English in a non-Western movie and the grammar or pronunciation is a bit off. It just takes you out of the narrative. 
Shows:
Street Foods USA - Netflix
LOVE the street foods series. I want a taco. And I want to go to Portland, Oregon. 
Art:
LE SSERAFIM’s DAZED Korea July 2022 Issue Pictorial
WHO was the director behind this photoshoot?? KISS ME. I NEED to see the moldboard behind this shoot. It's magnificent. Will go down in the books for sure. Genuinely thinking about recreating this with my friends. I’m not even joking I have the materials to build my own angel wings. Also, after learning the meaning behind the group (seraphim being a 6-winged angel), I respect this photoshoot even more.
Miscellaneous:
We’re Not Really Strangers
played this game recently with friends. The questions really prompted us to open up and be vulnerable with each other. Imagine - late night talks in the middle of the day. That was the vibe.
