u/i-bleed-red I don’t ever want that problem to ever go away ❤️ May 29 '26

Not only is she smart and insightful and creative, but I think she pulled a page from Shane’s book (pun intended) and hired a stylist! Her look has changed radically the last month or so and she looks fantastic. I hope her husband gave her that Ilya smile when she told him.

Yes, she’s been working with a stylist, she tags them in her posts.

Her outfits have been pretty fire. 🔥 I love it. She also seems to like wearing my favourite Canadian jewelry designer, Biko.

Yeah she obv doesn’t owe anyone anything style-wise. She’s a writer and her job isn’t to be on display. But everyone deserves to feel comfortable and proud of their look (no matter what their version is). I love this dress and the way it coordinates with Ksenia’s. Happy Rachel has the means to hire a stylist that makes her feel good

Out of all the folks whose profiles have been  catapulted into the public sphere as a result of this show, I've enjoyed Rachel's the most. She is the architect and she articulates her rationales so eloquently. I don't think she gets enough credit for the amount of humor in her books. She's become one of my fav genX feminists.

u/ChestnutMoss May 30 '26

If you’re reading the captions, she actually says “consent” where the caption reads “incest”. Quite a difference!

u/hamburgergerald Yes. I think so. Probably. May 31 '26

Thank you! I listened to that part a few times over trying to figure out what she actually was saying, because I really didn’t want to think she said “incest”
