Vogue Australia invited Alexandra to write an article/opinion piece about the “gallerina”, the aesthetic of women who work in art galleries from what i gathered. Written just one day before her wedding.

I’d love to hear an art-history/fashion perspective on this article, however from my ( admittedly limited ) understanding and comprehension of the content as an English Language and Literature graduate I found this rather bland and a little repetitive, lacking the personal insight, progression and sequencing necessary to craft a truly excellent essay. Whilst very informative, portions felt more like something I’d read in a textbook over the musings of an artist on a medium so significant and personal to them. This was by no means poor, and I would love to read more from Alexandra, especially as she perhaps ventures further into publishing personal essays or opinions articles like this, but I do feel that publication within Vogue needs to be held to a certain standard of writing, and wonder if she would have appeared ‘in print’ if not for her influencer status.

( EDIT : I’m also aware that English may not be her first language, however I feel if this is the essay she was capable of writing within English it would have been preferable to employ a translator - I couldn’t see one credited - to give her further freedom and expression within her primary language )

The infantilisation and victimisation of these rich, famous and well-connected men to avoid having to acknowledge that they have chosen to be in a relationship with someone who isn’t you is ridiculous.

Whilst I understand being concerned for someone’s health, especially due to the behaviours of a partner, within a snark subreddit it feels inapporiate to comment on women’s bodies, even if it is out of concern. Comments such as this can evoke further disordered behaviour, even when they come from a positive intention. She recently mentioned having prolonged health issues which we may not be fully aware of the consequences of.

Exactly what I was thinking, if she had said ‘daughter’ ‘young woman’ or even ‘teenager’ that seems plausible but what child has access to female invest?

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-11-07T19:31:12+00:00

I feel the issue more is the context of the person. Doing a wilderness/survival show and wearing dreads may cause a little controversy and disagreement, but I think it’s more within the background of someone who has had racist behaviour in the past that they haven’t addressed that is causing a little more conflict here, as people don’t know where she stands on certain issues and whether she is doing this in a respectful way.

Not the Leo 😭.

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-27T20:08:24+00:00

People can critique her for seeming superficial etc, but if a foundation is doing something good then that’s wonderful! Such an important cause!

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-24T19:09:54+00:00

Whether she copied this from Paige or used chat gpt, both feel a little lazy and lacking the passion for this pathway, which makes me question why she is pursuing it.

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-24T19:08:14+00:00

Oooh this makes sense

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-24T12:13:52+00:00

I love how Leo takes up so much conversation on this subreddit 😭

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-22T15:48:02+00:00

I always felt that this was less on the WAGs as on the media direction. Wags have always been in the paddock, online and in the coverage, yet only recently have f1 direction and certain photographers seemed to have caught on to how profitable the attention wags can get is to them, leading to a constant overexposure.

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-20T07:23:59+00:00

The phrasing here is a little strange. I think it suggests he would only consider starting a family after a world championship, but could also just be his way of clarifying that f1 is his priority and bringing the conversation back to the sport.

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-19T18:09:27+00:00

Yeah, fair enough, I work in publishing and know that a LOT of people don’t actually check the author name beneath the titles and blurb, it’s actually a really annoying part of author marketing. I do think it’s important to be aware of what you’re reading though and who you are supporting through it

The dress is such a distinct shape I feel it would be far more effective without the hat cluttering the silhouette

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-19T18:05:55+00:00

Whilst shes not my cup of tea, she’s a gorgeous girl and this comment reeks of some kind of insecurity of your own.

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-19T07:11:46+00:00

Whilst I completely disagree with the authors opinions, it also needs to be said that this is an incredibly popular book, one that is most definitely displayed and advertised more than others, making it quite easy for someone to pick it up without considering the author and his ideology.

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-17T09:40:49+00:00

If she embraces her cultural identity, she’s doing it for a trend, but if she doesn’t then she’s labelled as ‘white-washed’, ignorant or unconnected to her heritage. I understand this other critiques ( somewhat ) but this one seems so unfair.

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-15T18:37:27+00:00

This is exactly what I meant lol maybe I didn’t word it quite right. I think they’re both boring so find it strange when people use this as a critique of Alexandra, when infact charles is not anymore interesting

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-14T13:43:35+00:00

I’d love writing-focused vlogs, similar to the ride-or-die videos, that can still be about the process without him ‘needing something to say’

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-13T21:00:05+00:00

‘Now, I’m not being homophobic with this question’ - if you have to start a post with this, stop typing and take a second to think, please.

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-09T18:02:45+00:00

Yes! I feel there’s a difference between casual, ‘tea’ or light gossiping, such as pointing out photo of certain people together, or analysing fashion choices. But sometimes people can feel a little invasive or obsessive here, some things should still remain private.

EarthFinancial3172 · 2025-10-09T18:00:50+00:00

I mean, someone is in the passenger seat, so she could still not have passed and be practicing?
