INTRODUCING: UNDER YOUR SKIN
your time to shine, freak-a-leeks
Hi, chaos agents and cosmic cowgirls (non-gendered) — your favorite esoteric shit-stirrers are back with a new feature. Psychological striptease meets confessional booth, UNDER YOUR SKIN is our new column that deep dives into the deliciously weird world of what makes you tick, what makes you cringe, and what makes you want to throw your entire David Lynch box set into the nearest body of water while screaming about how Twin Peaks S3E8 was actually a documentary.
Think of it as Jungian shadow work meets Into the Gloss, where we'll be unearthing the things people love (watching three-hour video essays about why Barbie is actually about Nietzsche's eternal return; collecting vintage Polly Pockets while pretending they're for their future children), hate (psychopaths who leave class before savasana; pickles), love to hate (Ben Affleck and J-Lo; angel oracle decks), and hate to love (Ben and Matt’s “friendship”, which could mean nothing; Geminis).
We want to know what keeps you up at night. What makes you mute group chats faster than someone posting their "objectively correct" Succession character ranking? What makes you rage-close Instagram faster than someone saying "link in bio for my money mindset course"? What's your guilty pleasure and why is it expensive Korean skincare? Whether you're obsessed with categorizing your Criterion Collection by lunar phase or violently opposed to people who call anything with a vaguely dark aesthetic "Fincheresque," we want to hear about the strange little alchemical processes happening in that beautiful brain of yours.
Stay tuned, you gorgeous freaks. The first installment drops soon.
