chappell’s stylist responds to the nail email kerfuffle
I have mixed feelings on this! I do think there’s an element of “this is what i did and had to do to get to where i am, therefore it is what u guys will have to do” which is not always ideal bc that is the mindset that keeps “fun” jobs underpaid (and therefore, only accessible to the independently wealthy/parentally/spouse supported) and shuts tons of ppl out of entire fields. At the same time i think it is valuable to have to figure out what you love so much you will do it for free- what your passion is. It is an ironic juxtaposition with Chappell’s speech for sure. It’s complicated.
