... to ask WTF a VSCO girl is!?

[crisscrosscranky]

12 year old DD has just announced to me she's a VSCO girl (followed by a peace sign) then gone upstairs to FaceTime...

Google has not helped my lack of understanding. Please, someone far cooler than me, explain in layman's terms!?

✌🏼

This would possibly explain why loads of girls in my year group started wearing scrunchies on their wrists before we broke up... with me asking them quizically 'is a scrunchie not for your hair?!' And getting a blank look!

Expect it will be out in full force next week when we are back. At least I have a vague idea what its about now!

@BuzzShitbagBobbly I find myself mindlessly quoting this video to myself often!

'And I oop-' is a meme from a drag queen called Jasmine Masters. He was recording a video and accidentally hit his balls in the middle of speaking.

@mystupidmistake I can't decide it just makes me giggle

Ooop

@motherheroic thanks for the insider tip!

I keep trying to say the sksksks thing but my mouth just wont do it.

The whole thing is odd. Not necessarily in a bad way!! And now there’s a link to a drag queen getting hit in the balls 😂

But where is the connection between a drag queen hitting himself in the balls and wearing shell necklaces etc? I am extremely confused!

The noise is the VSCO laugh apparently.

Dd asked me if there was a part of the house she could turn into a VSCO hangout and got quite annoyed when I said actually no

BED, same here. I am accidentally sporting this ‘trend’. I never grew out of it and wear it every summer.

I don’t do the metal straw hangout stuff though.

What’s the hangout? A den!

SAVE THE TURTLES

Sksksksksksksks

What happens when a VSCO girl doesn't wipe her bum properly?

She gets sksksksksskskidmarks

...according to my aspiring VSCO DD 🙄

I’ve never heard those daft noises from dd luckily, although her bun is getting closer and closer to her forehead as each day goes by!

They made their hangout on a trampoline, with duvet sheets and fairy lights and pillows, it did look rather nice I may add!

Messy hair, minimal makeup, Birkenstock’s, Fjallraven backpack.....Sounds like at least 50% of the thirty something mums around my way are VSCO girls.

I was a vsco girl back in my uni days. Actually, I don’t think selfies had been invented then, but save the turtles peace out

Oh God dd asked for a metal straw today.

She also keeps taking pictures of the sky/scenery and permanently has a hair band or 3 round her wrist (not scrunchies)
Is this what it is?

@TheBitchOfTheVicar I just told dd that joke and she about peed herself! I’m now a #coolmum (not really, and I guess she does know about those noises!)

It’s the basic bitch sheep version of the walk of shame. 🤭

I was waiting for wearing crocs to be a thing (outside of operating theatres).

Well this is bizarre but, yes, useful for the return to school next week to figure out what the year ?7 ?8 girls are on about...

But apart from the weird noises and the shell necklaces, it does exactly describe 30/40 something Mum fashion, no? Messy bun, birkies, Fjallraven backpack, water flask...since when have teenage girls copied Mum fashion??? :-)

at least she's not an e-girl

@BuzzShitbagBobbly is that YouTube video a pisstake? Or a genuine example of a 'VSCO' girl?

Oh this is really sweet.

@Danglingmod I've been so proud of her this summer for being so laid back about her appearance and environmentally friendly and now I learn she wasn't modelling my boring mum behaviour but being deliberately trendy
