@fernm8 Saw this on my FYP (and this tweet too) and the comments I saw were people saying she should charge more and they thought her price was fair for the work. I was pleasantly surprised by the support, sad to hear it turned.

I wish brand activations cared about consumers as much as they care about celebs/influencers attending the night before. Consumers are who line your pockets. They should be treated to all the little fun treats vs. bare bones.

@itscloudnai They're not allowed to edit the images due to their editorial guidelines/being a news resource. However, some do get retouched and have a note saying they were retouched. I believe the brand or person pays for that. Either way, these photos and that lighting are 🥲

@fritzvoneric I have written about this a lot (and have had an insane amount of convos about it) it boils down to content consumption (taking style cues from someone you enjoy) and brands making the same thing/copy paste of each other. Most people lack self expression, they just want ease.
