- Hey, Naturally Curly World, I'm Nikki
and welcome to Watch and Go,
the series where we review things that we've watched
and we do our wash and go.
I'm gonna be reviewing the Netflix series Girlboss.
While I do that, I will be washing my hair
with the As I Am Cleansing Pudding.
Then I'll follow it up
with my favorite leave-in conditioner.
This is the Brown Butter Beauty
Sweet Milk Detangling Leave-In.
And then this is a new product to me.
It's the Kristin Ess Hydrating Curl Defining Creme.
So, I'm gonna give this a try.
- I want this.
I'll give you eight bucks for it.
- No way, the tag says 12.
- Nine bucks, and I'll give you some
free business advice.
- Deal.
So, what's the advice?
- This is an original 1970s East West
calfskin motorcycle jacket in perfect condition.
Know what your shit's worth
'cause you just got played.
(rock music)
- So, what exactly is your business?
- [Sophia] You know how people flip houses?
Well, I flip clothes.
(loud rock music)
(cash register chiming)
- Boom!
Dolla, dolla bills, y'all.
- Okay, so I just got through shampoo and conditioning
with the As I Am Cleansing Pudding.
It smells really good
and I think it cleansed my hair and conditioned it.
I'm gonna do what I usually do,
take my hair down and section it.
Okay, so.
I went into this thinking,
this gonna be dumb.
(laughs) I don't care too much about Sophia Amarosa?
Amarosu?
I don't even know how to say her name.
And now I feel bad because y'all
have seen me on Watch and Go so much
and all I've done was complain
about the movies I've seen.
Except for like, maybe two Watch and Gos,
and it's not my fault.
People requested me to see Girlboss
and so ya know, I did it thinking, this gonna be bad,
and it was bad, y'all.
Girlboss is bad.
It's 13, 30-minute episodes
and I'm not gonna lie to you,
I fast forwarded through a lot of them episodes.
Girlboss, the TV series, is basically the story
of Sophia Amoruso, the founder of Nasty Gal.
So, a little backstory about Nasty Gal,
and maybe Girlboss 'cause she wrote Girlboss
the book before it became a series
based on her experience coming up
as a young female entrepreneur in the world of fashion.
She made millions of dollars.
She was really influential
because she started this little thing from nothing on Ebay.
She was selling stuff that she got
from a thrift store online
for way more than what she paid.
She realized this could be a business
and she made it happen.
So, Nasty Gal blew up.
It became a really popular online site
for people to buy clothes.
Stuff happens.
Eventually she stepped down as CEO of Nasty Gal.
Nasty Gal filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
That ain't in the series.
You gonna have to do your research.
In 2006, Sophia, budding entrepreneur,
girl who couldn't keep a job,
had her own one bedroom apartment in San Francisco.
You're not broke if you have your own
one bedroom apartment in San Francisco.
So, that's just how we start off the series.
Right there and I was like, okay
she ain't as poor as people made it seem.
People were like, "Oh, she came from nothing."
I don't know if nothing
is a one bedroom apartment in San Francisco.
All that aside, money doesn't make a person.
You know what I'm saying?
She could have a really nice apartment
in San Francisco, and a trash car
and be a good human being.
Ya know, sweet, kind.
That ain't her.
She's incredibly annoying and really whiny
and entitled, and she walks around
like she owns the world.
And I think they want you to find her endearing.
I think they want you to be like,
"Oh, she's kind of repulsive,
"but that's cool.
"She's a rebel, she's a wild one,
"she's a millennial and she doesn't follow the rules."
You know how they say millennials are spoiled
and whiny and we don't know how to work?
She was that, and I was looking at her
like, that's not me.
I'm a millennial and I work.
I work hard.
She got away with it
'cause she was a cute, privileged white girl.
Sorry if that offends y'all,
but that's literally what it was.
As the episodes go on, she doesn't improve
and you don't feel like she's endeared herself to you.
You don't feel like, "Oh, I kinda like her now.
"I get her, I see why she's so angry
"and disrespectful to people
"and she doesn't care about authority,
"she doesn't care about rules.
"It's because her dad or her mom or XYZ."
You find those things out and you're just kinda like,
I still have nothing for you, girl
because, I have nothing for you.
I think they wanted us to see
that her success was all due
to her self-starting attitude
and her willingness to break the rules and be different.
But to me, her success was really
kinda just luck.
If it's about being a woman, starting your own business,
what I get from this is be lucky.
Be incredibly rude.
Take your people for granted.
She had a really good friend in the show
and she treated her like crap the entire series.
The girl asked for a job
after she was already doing work for Nasty Gal for free
and Sophia was like, "Nah, there's no place for you."
Don't ever be my friend,
'cause you will get punched in the face so fast.
I'm not gonna be taking up your invoices,
shipping your clothes out,
and then you gonna tell me there's no job for me
when you can clearly pay my rent and salary?
No, boo.
So, family wise, her mom left her,
which is sad.
Her mom left her when she was really young,
so she didn't really know her mom.
She tried to paint her dad as unsupportive
because he was asking her questions.
He would be like, "You got a job?"
(laughs)
Ya know, "How's your relationship?"
And of course he would get disappointed with her
when it seemed like she wasn't on the right path.
Who wouldn't?
If your dad didn't get disappointed
when you were like, "Yeah, I ain't got a job, dad."
(laughs sarcastically)
Then your dad don't care about you.
She couldn't get lease and her dad was like,
"Cool, I'll cosign it for you,"
after she presented him a business plan.
A business plan she didn't even put together.
Again, she didn't work hard for this.
Somebody put a business plan together.
She as all like, (grunts)
"Pie charts, bar graphs, (grunts) I don't wanna."
So, she presented this to her dad and he's like,
"Cool, I'll cosign for you and you can get the space."
That was about to go down, but then her dad was like,
"I'm putting the lease in my name."
And she was like, "Deal's off."
Pride cometh before a fall.
That's all I'm saying,
cometh before a fall.
Okay, I'm gonna put the curl creme in my hair
even though this does such a good job.
If you have hair like mine,
you really don't need more than this leave-in conditioner.
And, you know, that's that.
That's my wash and go.
That looks great, I think.
I'm gonna let this air dry.
I'm not gonna diffuse.
Okay, I just remember while watching Girlboss,
being incredibly frustrated.
And I thought, for this series
to be about a woman starting her own business
as a young millennial coming up in the world,
I thought I would be more inspired
and felt empowered,
like I did when I watched Wonder Woman.
Even The Devil Wears Prada, that chick worked hard.
She worked her butt off for the fake Anna Wintour.
So, if you found that the book was different,
more inspiring, more empowering,
let me know in the comments below.
For me, this show sucked.
I'm gonna give it a one out of five stars.
I don't feel bad about that.
It is what it is.
Okay, so it's my birthday, oh my god.
And I'm a supreme queen.
I, myself, am a girl boss and as a girl boss,
I thought I'd give you a little something
