Honestly I haven’t clicked on that thread. What’s it about?


Buncha dudes jerking off, using VPN's to "vote" on the hottest chick. Each trying to out-VPN the other one.

It's the guys who jerk off to the girls that take pics at Coachella and collectively jerk off together online about them

Yea, camping is it's own ordeal.



I kind of dreaded the camping thing when we went to the first Bonnarroo, but it really wasn't that bad. We were in an SUV with plenty of room to mule in lots of water, beer and food. Only bad part was people around you partying all night when you were trying to get some sleep, and that was really only the first night. One day in the Tennessee June heat wiped most people out and the nights were pretty chill and pleasant.


I couldn't do it now though. I was almost 30 then, and it did take me a few days to recover.

It’s sad that I follow enough instamodels to know this.



Ain't no shame in following beautiful women. I follow plenty.

The entire economy around Coachella and revolve doesn’t seem sustainable


It will be very interesting to watch play out over the next decade.

It is insane the trips Revolve takes these women on. Not just Revolve fest at Coachella, but Tokyo, the Bahamas, etc. And I've read about these trips. There are events and dinners and parties every single night. Each girl's room is stocked with a wardrobe of clothing sold by Revolve in their size (I believe they get to choose it beforehand).

quote:

Why Does Revolve Do These Trips?

Because it gets them TONS of publicity and therefore makes them A LOT of money. In October of 2017, WWD reported that “over 70% of overall sales at Revolve were driven by an influencer.” And, as lavish as these trips are, they’re still cheaper than the more traditional media advertising options. But, even so, these trips have proven to have an even greater return on investment for Revolve’s target audience.


quote:

What Do Influencers Actually Do On These Trips?

Well, mainly just look hot and take pictures. Upon arrival, influencers are given itineraries that include several dinners and outings that they’re expected to attend. Some of these events may even be brand specific. Meaning, they’re trying to build content to promote a specific brand at that moment, so they ask the influencers to dress in that brand specifically. Beyond the extravagant dinners and activities, some of the trips also include parties and concerts. Which, as expected, always include an “of the moment” performer.


As a female barely clinging onto their target demographic age, I have loved Revolve for a long time because I'm able to see what the outfits look like on real people. Granted, they're beautiful real people.. but it is SO MUCH MORE realistic than those weird gangly ugly models in most website catalog photos.

Its an online store that sells numerous brands of clothing, but they're known for their style of marketing which is throwing parties, festivals, and getaway vacations for models and influencers who wear the clothing they sell.

The clothing isn't cheap. Not uncommon for a casual dress to be $200-$300. They're definitely aiming for the pretty "Instagram girl" with some money to spend.

They have a lot of haters for not making clothing for fat people For some reason, the world has decided that every store on earth needs to cater to some other demographic beyond what they've always done. Revolve just kinda ignores it though.

It makes a lot of sense, Instagram is perfect for fashion advertising. Say what you will about Instagram attention seeking behavior but the ones that manage accounts of a few million is an impressive feet. Some real companies are starting to advertise with them and brands don’t won’t to get tied up with some shithead that will pop molly on their live stream all weekend. If the bottom ever falls out on Instagram they won’t have trouble finding work in marketing.

I would love to be in there meetings when they break down the data behind demographics of who gets the invite. Obviously they need to have a large female following of a certain age and wealth. I want to hear how catty and cut throat it gets.

To be honest, it would probably get old attending festivals as a job. They definitely go to elite parties but they lack the charm of doing DMT with your Wookie camp ground neighbor
