Welcome to Hyperreality, a new way to connect with us on a deeper level. If you're unfamiliar, I'm Roséline, the Founding Editor of This Is Glamorous (TIG), the beloved London-based digital publication that began its journey as a blog way back in 2007. For those who have been with us from the beginning, this space aims to recapture the intimacy and sense of community we loved in the early days of blogging.
Here at Hyperreality, we invite you to explore the profound questions of human existence through personal essays, theoretical constructs, and introspective musings on life. Through contemplative writing, we hope to discover the mysteries of our inner worlds and gain fresh perspectives—subjects that may diverge from the aspirational and aesthetic-driven content of TIG.
In this space, you'll have the opportunity to engage with our content through a comments section, fostering discussions reminiscent of our earlier days. We know you'll love this new project, and we’re looking forward to getting to you better.
What is Hyperreality?
Hyperreality is a weekly newsletter by the writers at TIG. Drawing on the arts, culture, philosophy, and more, we delve into new perspectives to expand your thinking and awareness about the world around us. Expect pieces that challenge assumptions, ignite imagination, and provide new insights on cultivating fulfilment. Join us as we venture outside the mainstream to discuss imaginative ideas for living more consciously. Our digest provides inspiration for anyone seeking new ways to help bring out their creative potential and approach life with an open, curious mind.
We spend an incredible amount of time and energy creating content for you, and after creating free content at TIG and Instagram for many years, we’re excited to have a different way of sharing our ideas. We flirted with Patreon, bought all the equipment for podcasting, but neither of these have felt quite right. We felt it time to evolve, and offer something new, and here, we can do it without the pressure of ever-changing algorithms or the to need to court sponsored content. This newsletter is completely funded by subscribers and you will be directly supporting our work.
