Nymphet Alumni is a podcast dedicated to the study of fashion and culture. <a href="https://www.nymphetalumni.com/s/podcast?utm_medium=podcast">www.nymphetalumni.com</a>

This week on Nymphet Alumni, Alexi interviews Angel Money, New York nightlife darling and visionary of beauty and commerce. Over the course of more than two hours, we discuss her past life as a Tumblr-famous pale grunge blogger, her balance between New Age spirituality and hedonistic abundance, her intimate knowledge of custom Chinese manufacturing, her fashion controversies from cultural appropriation to exotic animal pelts, mad scientist gray market beauty treatments, the implicit influence of trans aesthetics on 21st century femininity, the mental and physical architecture of transsexuality, and much more. Angel also shares her exclusive recipes for a perfect night out—including her precise methodology for a 48-hour glam—and her high-fantasy vision for the ultimate immersive nightlife experience.Links: <a target="_blank" href="https://linktr.ee/moneytalkswithangelmoney">Listen to Money Talks with Angel Money</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.documentjournal.com/author/angel-money/">Angel’s Share – </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.documentjournal.com/author/angel-money/">Document Journal </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/angelmoneymafia/?hl=en">Angel Money on Instagram</a><a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/reverendmoney?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Angel Money on Twitter</a> This is a public episode.

Ep. 123: The Miss Course w/ Angel Money

In this episode, we’re joined by the legendary Emily Segal: writer, artist, cultural clairvoyant, and co-founder of K-HOLE and Nemesis. We talk about her brand-conscious NYC upbringing and art school education-by-osmosis, AI and telepathy, the collapse of unified worldviews, and what it means to be a creative director when every pair of jeans is trending at once. Emily also unearths the lost downtown dream of Chumbo and unpacks for us the group polarization and identity negotiation of contemporary parenting culture.

Ep. 122: Welcome to Chumbo w/ Emily Segal

In this episode, we introduce the concept of whimsimod to explain the recent trend of pattern-printed and adorably tailored fashion among sensitive indie starlets and Instagram baddies alike. In the process of unpacking this polished yet playful re-envisioning of femininity, we discuss the aesthetic shift from “kiki” to “bouba” over the past year, the history of girly youth diffusion lines like RED Valentino and Blugirl, the current hemline crisis and the accompanying novelty hosiery movement, seminal lady designers including Carolina Herrera and Kate Spade, and more. We also provide a forensic cultural history of the polka dot throughout the decades.
