Dena and Catalina’s rundown of July trends begins with the ladies discussing the McDonald’s Grimace trend, followed by the news cycle surrounding the TikTok Boat Challenge and, on a more positive note, Rat Girl Summer (@umgabi). Our algorithms are algorithm-ing this month, with a series of videos inspired by Venice pickpocket spotter @cittadininondistratti2, from songs (@tjwells55, @itsjovynn) to parodies (@carbono___14). After Catalina shares some of her pickpocketing tales they move on to the Miley Cyrus Angels Like You radio trend before circling back to another algorithm favorite (perhaps a little late!): people reacting to videos of bottles breaking on the stairs like @chrisp.md and @ayame.p. Next they move on to the plethora of filters on the app recently, including the tropical location filter that @mous.kanon used in an NYC train station, the Barbie filter with hilarious results by @howdoidelete1 and @harkermcnair and the existential dread inducing aging filter. The featured creator of the week is @corporategossippod who, evidently, also has a podcast! For food and drink trends we have the next generation of mustard and cottage cheese videos by @100percentthattim and @wishbonekitchen, @pamelawurstvetrini’s Top Chef: Private Chef in the Hamptons series, and a review of the lemon popcorn that @leels_ raves about. Learning on TikTok this week is all about North Korean Propaganda, and the gals discuss content by @right_hand_arm_man. Finally, they close with a brief discussion of @chad.alexander’s rundown of the watches at Michael Rubin’s White Party in the Hamptons and @bryn.elise’s video about beauty tourism.
