Izigidi zabantu zibone amathoyizi kaLauren Bowe akhumbuza isikhathi esidlule echibini lasehlobo… kodwa kukhona uhlangothi olumnyama lobuhle bodumo olusakazeke kabanzi.
Kukhona umdwebi wezinto zobumba opholile ngempela ogama lakhe linguJeff Rubio, ngaphezu kokudala izitsha zobumba ezinamahloni nezimbiza ezinamagagasi, usebenzisa ubuhlalu obukhulu bezinto zobumba, intambo nensimbi ukudala izibankwa ezinkulu ezinamagagasi. Kulabo kithi abasebenzisa ubuhlalu beponi obunemibala kanye nentambo yepulasitiki (ePennsylvania sikubiza ngokuthi “i-gimp” kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi kungokwesifunda?) ukwenza izintelezi ezincane zezibankwa ezilenga ezikhwameni zethu zangemuva kanye nasezikhwameni ezinhle. Ake sithi ilensi ejabulisayo yokukhumbula isikhathi esidlule. umbani.
EMinneapolis, uLauren Bowe uchithe amasonto ambalwa edlule enza izidalwa zakhe ezinkulu “ezinama-beaded” ngama-noodle echibini i-Styrofoam, azisika zibe yizicucu, azisika ngokuvundlile abe ama-bead futhi wasebenzisa ukudala “ama-keychain” amakhulu antantayo awabeka entanjeni ezungeze indlu.
“Mina nabangani bami sithanda ukuchitha isikhathi echibini futhi sihlala sithenga izinto zokuntanta. Ngikhiphe izinto zami zokwenza ubuhlalu ngoba ngangizobona uTaylor Swift futhi kwakudingeka ngenze ubuhlalu babangani bami,” kuhleka uBao. “Ngibone lobu buhlalu futhi kwafika okuthile engqondweni yami futhi ngacabanga, ‘Uyazi ukuthini? Ngingakwenza”.
Ngenxa yokuthi ngingumuntu weminyaka eyinkulungwane, ngiqale ukubona izinto ezidalwe nguBow ku-Instagram ngempelasonto, lapho i-keychain yakhe yokuqala yama-90s (i-gecko yakudala) iqoqe amakhophi angaphezu kuka-100,000 selokhu yathunyelwa ngoJuni 27. Izithupha phezulu.
Ku-TikTok, ividiyo elandelayo (kulokhu yefudu) ithole ukuthandwa okungaphezu kuka-200,000 kanye nokubukwa okungu-2 million ezinsukwini ezimbili nje.
“Anginawo umsebenzi wezandla engifuna ukuwenza, kodwa bengilokhu ngijabulela ukudala izinto,” kusho uBao. Akayena umuntu ongamazi ukusakaza izindaba – emuva ezinsukwini ze-City Edition, sabhala ngehlaya elidumile lapho ayephrinta khona futhi efaka inani elingenamkhawulo lamaphasi esinkwa ukuze akhohlise umngane wakhe ukuba acabange ukuthi: Awukwazi ukudla izinti zesinkwa ngesikhathi somnqumo wokuqala. Vakashela engadini. “Kwakuwukuphela kwento yokuba nomqondo, ngithi, ‘Ngingakwenza lokho,’ bese ngikwenza.”
“Kodwa-ke, kufanele ngikutshele ukuthi kukhona okubi ngalokhu,” esho. “Ukusabalala kakhulu kuyacasula!” UBowe usebenzisa kakhulu i-Instagram “ukuthumela” nokuxhumana nabangani. Nangu, ubuyena bangempela… namakhono akhe okwenza ama-noodle ayasakazeka kabanzi, ngezinkulungwane zabalandeli abasha abangaqiniseki ukuthi ungubani.
Wayesevele esakazeke kakhulu futhi wayazi ukuthi okuthunyelwe kwakhe okudumile kuzoholela ekusakazeni okuqhubekayo kwabalandeli uma sebeqaphela ukuthi akayena uchwepheshe ekwenzeni imisebenzi yezandla ejabulisayo kubantu abangabazi. Abanye abantu bazohamba buthule, abanye bazothukuthela kancane ngakho. “Ngikuthathe mathupha! Manje… uma ngithumela okuthile komuntu siqu, bathi, “Anginandaba.” Ngihlala nginama-poster impilo yami yonke.”
“Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kuyisikhuthazo esihle sokuqhubeka nokudala izinto ngoba yilokho engikuthandayo ukukwenza,” uyavuma. Yiqiniso, kwakukhona izinto ezinhle: isibonelo, othile ayemlandele isikhathi eside ku-Instagram wamthumelela umlayezo ethi wenze okuthile okuphefumulelwe nguye.
KuBow, yilowo umqondo ophelele ngemuva kokuqukethwe kwakhe – imisebenzi yobuciko ejabulisayo, elula ukuyisebenzisa, nengabizi kakhulu umuntu angayizama yena. Okudingayo nje ama-noodle amabili echibini esitolo esingu-$1.25 (“Asekude kangako ukufinyelela okwamanje, amasenti angu-25 ngaphezulu,” ehleka), amahora amabili phambi kwe-TV, futhi voila—yenza leli thoyizi lechibi libe ngesitayela sakho sama-90.
Kunezindaba ezinhle kubalandeli abasha bakaBow abathanda kakhulu i-float: ufuna ukwenza enye i-float enkulu, enama-keychain, ngaphambi kokuphela kwehlobo. Konke okwakumelwe akwenze kwakuwukuthola amanye ama-noodle kuqala.
“Bengifuna ama-noodle amakhulu ukuze ngiwenze abe makhulu, kodwa asevele enakho konke esikudingayo esikoleni, ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi sengiphuzile kancane,” ehleka, yize singenalo. Lokhu kuzosusa ithuba lokuthi inani elikhulu labakhiqizi be-float bathulule izimpahla esitolo sendawo. “Uma unombono omuhle, udinga ukuthenga olandelayo ngaphambi kokuthi uwuqalise.”

Ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye nje kuphela bebonwe okokugcina eMinneapolis, babuya ngo-1975 bengenazo izingxabano eziningi futhi bengenazo izinkanuko eziningi ku-saxophone yabo.
Engeza kulokho ukwanda kokukhishwa kwezisu, uhlu lwezinto ezibizayo zokudla kanye nokukhuluma okungadingekile mayelana nokukhangiswa komshuwalense wezimoto esifinyezweni sanamuhla se-Runway News.
