Hi all,
Last week, I got into an emotionally complicated relationship with Substack’s AI bot over a technical glitch I couldn’t get help for. I have finally resolved the problem (with aid from internet friendo
of After School) and you should **fingers crossed** receive this email. Today’s issue is very brief because it’s a second post I wrote during my tech issues in a desperate attempt to get out something for you lovely people (except this one also didn’t send when I tried). I’ll send out the original (unexpected Amazon shopping guide) later this week and sorry for the delay.Anyhow.
Here is my summer trend/schmend prediction: Grotto Girly. Grotto Girly is texture, beach, shell-shine oblivion tinged with ethereal indifference. It’s giving grifter, scammer, naïf. Grotto Girl is mermaid cosplay, brains empty and dreamy, with goals that are so first world, they are negative world.
Grotto Girly is not to be confused with “coastal decor” which is an SEO keyword that needs to die.
So, briefly, some delightful finds:

These images are my childhood mermaid dreams all wrapped into one fabulous post
Grotto girl goddess life for me! Got these for girls night under candle light and a full moon. 👑
