This is my business: Girls who have learned to spit on the opinions of others

We all caught ourselves thinkingthat we no longer understand where we are real and where we play. The phrase "to pick up an image" for the majority for a long time no longer about clothes. There are too many rules invented by society, and few are capable of playing on them - those who do not follow the generally accepted stereotypes and are not afraid to break patterns. Towards the exit of the Converse x Miley Cyrus collaboration, we talked with two heroines about how important it is sometimes to break the rules and still be yourself.

Now it’s harder for me to write songs. I try to eradicate in myself the desire to please the public, to sing that they will like more. Yes, I approximately know and feel how people react to certain techniques, themes, words, and one cannot get away from the subconscious desire to like.

That's why I wrote the new album at home, without the Internet, without communicating with anyone. Almost all the songs turned out to be sincere. Threw too much. I always feel a little ashamed for bad lines, for “busting” - I want to sing them more quietly or hide my eyes from the audience.

As for the haters, then I probably will never be able to completely score on them. For them, my songs are informational noise, a picture flashed and disappeared, a meme. But for me, this is a whole life: any creativity is connected with turning yourself inside out. In this sense, I will always be unarmed in front of my listeners, I will always be weaker.

Of course, I am interested in people's reaction to my songs, but someone else’s opinion will definitely not be the main criterion for evaluating my work and will not affect what I choose to do next.

Similarly, in life - I often hear: "A girl should behave in such a way that the guy feels better than her" and everything like that. The guy should, the girl should - a bunch of strange rituals that do not reveal the person and do not affect the relationship between people.

Lisa Ivanova, video blogger

From the very beginning I knew that the picture of the beautiful life from instagram is a pumped ass, a spout made of it, the expensive bags in the background are not my story. I wanted to show the other side, not perfect, but live. And so it turned out one of my characters - a real schoolgirl in the series "Broken Heart".

I want more girls who are not shy about their "problems" and do not want to go along the thumb of all this unnecessary public instagram beauty. This is an illusion that has little to do with reality.

Hayters - they are the most sincere. My series touches so much that people simply cannot fail to write that I am shit. I always go to their pages, and there is a video where they dance, a selfie in the village with girlfriends. And I do not blame, I am inspired by this when creating new series.

Putting the video where you are with the second chin, shaggy and without makeup, is completely normal. Yes, it's just cool. Cool not to wear makeup and show your face for what it is. Now more and more girls expose themselves, do not hesitate to their weight and figure - and this is also super.

I don’t know, maybe such words sound loud, but I feel the power of women in this: we don’t owe anything to anyone and can look like we want. We become equal with guys, and we, just like them, do not have to be perfect. Do you know what surprises me the most? When you take pictures and ask: "What is your working side of the face?" My whole face is “working”.
