00:00Hey Naturally Curly World! I'm Nikki and welcome to Watch and Go, the series where
00:04we review things that we've watched and we do our wash and go. I'm gonna be
00:08reviewing the Netflix series Girlboss. While I do that I will be washing my
00:16hair with the As I Am Cleansing Pudding, then I'll follow it out with like my
00:20favorite weave-in conditioner. This is the Brown Butter Beauty Sweet Milk
00:24Detangling Weave-In. And then this is a new product to me. It's the Kristen S
00:29Hydrating Curl Defining Cream. So I'm gonna give this a try.
00:59So what exactly is your business? You know how people flip houses? Well I flip clothes.
01:06Boom! Dollar dollar bills y'all! Okay so I just got through shampoo and conditioning
01:16with the As I Am Cleansing Pudding. It smells really good and I think it
01:20cleansed my hair and conditioned it. I'm gonna do what I usually do take my hair
01:24down and section it. Okay so I went into this you know thinking this gonna be dumb.
01:31I don't care too much about Sofia Amorosa. Amorosu? I don't even know how to say her name.
01:37And now I feel bad because y'all have seen me on Watch and Go so much and all I
01:42have done was complain about the movies I've seen except for like maybe two
01:45Watch and Go's. And it's not my fault. People requested me to see Girlboss and so
01:51you know I did it thinking this gonna be bad. And it was bad y'all. Girlboss is bad.
01:58It's 13 30-minute episodes and I'm not gonna lie to you. I fast-forwarded through a lot
02:05of them episodes. Girlboss the TV series is the basically the story of Sofia Amorosu,
02:12the founder of Nasty Gal. So a little backstory about Nasty Gal and maybe Girlboss
02:19because she wrote she wrote Girlboss the book before it became a series based on
02:23her experience coming up as a young female entrepreneur in the world of
02:27fashion. She made millions of dollars. She was really influential because she
02:33started this little thing from nothing on eBay. She was selling stuff that she
02:36got from a thrift store online for way more than what she paid. She realized this
02:41could be a business and she made it happen. So Nasty Gal blew up. It became a
02:45really popular online site for people to buy clothes. Stuff happens. Eventually she
02:50stepped down as CEO of Nasty Gal. Nasty Girl filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
02:56That ain't in the series. You gonna have to do your research. In 2006, Sofia, budding
03:02entrepreneur, girl who couldn't keep a job, had her own one bedroom apartment in San
03:08Francisco. You're not broke if you have your own one bedroom apartment in San
03:11Francisco. So that's just how we start off the series. Right there and I was like okay
03:14she ain't as poor as people made it seem. People were like oh she came from
03:18nothing. It's like I don't know if nothing is a one bedroom apartment in San
03:23Francisco. You know all that aside money doesn't make a person. You know I'm saying
03:26she could have a really nice apartment in San Francisco in a trash car and be a
03:30good human being. You know sweet, kind, that ain't her. She's like incredibly annoying and
03:37like really whiny and entitled and she walks around like she owns the world and I think
03:45they want you to find her endearing. I think they want you to be like oh she's
03:48kind of like repulsive but that's cool. She's a rebel. She's a round one. She's a
03:52millennial. She doesn't follow the rules. And like you know how they say
03:55millennials are like spoiled and whiny. We don't know how to work. She was that and I
04:00was looking at her like that's not me. I'm a millennial and I know I work. I work hard.
04:04She got away with it because she was a cute privileged white girl. Sorry if that
04:08offends y'all but that's literally what it was. As the episodes go on she doesn't
04:13improve and you don't feel like you even she's endeared herself to you. You don't
04:17feel like oh I kind of like her now. I get her. I see why she's so angry and
04:22disrespectful to people and she doesn't care about authority. She doesn't care
04:25about rules. It's because you know her dad or her mom or XYZ you find those things
04:30out and just kind of like I don't I still have nothing for you girl because I have
04:34nothing for you. I think they wanted us to see that her success was all due to
04:37herself starting you know attitude and her willingness to break the rules and be
04:41different but to me her success was really kind of just like luck. If it's
04:47about being a woman starting your own business what I get from this is be
04:50lucky, be incredibly rude, take your people for granted. She had a really good
04:55friend in the show and she treated her like crap the entire series. The girl
05:00asked for a job after she was already doing work for Nasty Gal for free and
05:05Sophia was like no there's no place for it for you. Don't ever be my friend
05:09because you will get punched in the face so fast. I'm not gonna be taking up your
05:12invoice and shipping your clothes out and then you're gonna tell me there's no
05:15job for me when you can clearly pay my rent and salary. No boo. So family wise her
05:20mom left her which is sad like her mom left her when she was really young so she
05:24didn't really know her mom. She tried to paint her dad as unsupportive because he
05:29was asking her questions. He would be like you got a job? How's your
05:34relationship? And of course he would get disappointed with her when it seemed
05:38like she wasn't doing she wasn't on the right path. Who wouldn't like if your dad
05:42didn't get disappointed when you were like oh yeah I ain't got a job dad ha ha
05:45then your dad don't care about you. She couldn't get a lease and her dad was
05:50like cool I'll co-sign it for you. After she presented him a business plan
05:54a business plan she didn't even put together. Again she didn't work hard for
05:58this somebody put a business plan together she was all like uh pie charts
06:02bar graphs oh I don't wanna. So she presented this to her dad and he's like
06:08cool I'll co-sign for you can get the space. That was about to go down but then
06:11her dad was like I'm putting the lease in my name. It's just like ah deals off. Pride
06:15cometh before fall. That's all I'm saying. Cometh before fall. Okay I'm gonna put the
06:21curl cream in my hair even though this does such a good job. If you have hair
06:25like mine you really don't need more than this leave-in conditioner but and you
06:28know that's that. That's my wash and go. That looks great I think. I'm gonna let
06:32this air dry I'm not gonna diffuse. Okay I just remember while watching Girlboss
06:37being incredibly frustrated and I thought for this series to be about a woman
06:41starting on business as a young millennial coming up in the world I
06:46thought it would be more inspired and felt empowered like I did when I watched
06:51Wonder Woman. I mean even the devil wears Prada. That chick worked hard she worked
06:57her butt off for the fake Anna Wintour. So if you if you found that the book was
07:01different more inspiring more empowering let me know in the comments below. For me
07:05this show sucked I'm gonna give it a one out of five stars I don't feel bad about
07:09that. It is what it is. Okay so it's my birthday and I'm a supreme queen here and
