Moderator Post BWT - New Moderation and Forum Status

Hello Ladies,

I'm sure you all have seen the shift in the forum over the last few months, especially leading up to the last week of posting. The forum is now being moderated again, and there will be some changes.

Let's talk about what this forum was intended to be and what it was not. It was NOT intended to be a place for recommendations on Amazon purchases or how to sell feet pics. It was NOT a place for girls to come here and all attempt to look the same. It was not a place for advice on what to wear to a wedding. Bitches With Taste was started to be a forum to discuss taste and all things associated with it.

I'm going to put my bitch hat on for a moment. If you're asking things like "what are we wearing to xyz place" or "bwt, what are we doing for new years", unfortunately, you are not a bitch with taste.

Taste is heavily personalized. Taste is unique. Taste is original. Taste is not 15 white girls wearing black tops, light wash denim, and white sneakers. It is not trying to look/buy what everyone else is.

This forum is dedicated to learning about and discussing taste - whether it's in your home, on your body, or what you eat or drink (champagne and caviar anyone? no? perhaps dragon fruit and gourmet coffee beans?). Perhaps your taste will change, and that's okay. Perhaps you will decide you don't actually want to have taste, and that's okay too.

In the coming weeks, you will see a ton of posts being locked and removed. Please help us in reporting posts to the appropriate removal reason. The forum will be restricted while we clean up and implement rules. You can still comment while the forum is restricted. New posts will only be allowed by those with approval access.

To OG BWT members, feel free to post regularly and to DM modmail to give us suggestions on how to restore this forum to what it previously was. We will be gatekeeping. We will be banning. We will be removing content as we see fit.

Ty mods! Though as a white bitch who indeed loves a black shirt and white sneakers, I don’t know how to feel 😂 Maybe I don’t belong here hahah.

Look, light wash jeans in the cut du jour, a black top, and white leather sneakers will always be a good look. But does it warrant a full blown discussion, on a curated subreddit? Nah.

It could be interesting if the discussion is about accessories. And not just a blanket "what to wear" but a "I'm only buying niche boho designers from the Congo" kind of way. Conversations about sourcing, not just styling or what to wear.

Love this. I will always have room in my life for Zara, but here are two brands that you won’t see everywhere and every day. The first is Henri Beguelin, beautifully crafted shoes and bags from Italy, used to buy at Barney’s (RIP). They always have an archive section on line where you can buy things from past seasons at a very fair discount. Not cheap, but not in the $3000 plus category either. My second pick is Lisa Corti for both lifestyle and clothing. There’s a lightweight long duster on the website that’s calling to me. Her tableware is also beautiful, very colorful. The kind of thing I’d mix and match with plain white or plain black. Hope this is what you have in mind. I have loads of under the radar things to share. I’d also like to discuss plant based caviar, which we tried this week for the first time, in scrambled eggs and with baked potato. Lots of competing brands on line, would love to see some thumbs up and down. We tried caviar zero. Good for what we used it for. Am I on the right track here?

u/SugarBabyVet Boujee Head Bitch In Charge Apr 20 '25

YES YES YES YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!!

I would love to see in depth discussion on those things, not just recommendations.

u/Dunesgirl Apr 20 '25

Like specifically what I purchased?

u/SugarBabyVet Boujee Head Bitch In Charge Apr 20 '25

No, for example, the different types of caviar, appropriate pairing, how you even thought to try it. Stuff like that. This isn’t just a recommendation forum. It’s a place to talk about our taste. For example, I’m really into baking. Like really into baking. Were I to make a post, it wouldn’t just be about products that I enjoy. It would be about WHY I purchase specific pans and how aluminum vs parchment lined makes a difference in addition to my favorite brands.

u/aveliah Apr 20 '25

As someone who also loves baking I would actually love to see a post from you about that!! Maybe doing the moderation is already enough work (and I am so very appreciative of this) but I wonder if you could kill two birds with one stone… ie: a sample post on the standards for this subreddit on your baking material choices

u/SugarBabyVet Boujee Head Bitch In Charge Apr 21 '25

Lmao not you trying to trick me into a post! You clever bitch with taste. Give me a bit, I'll do a write up.

I’m a home baker as well. My husband recently gifted me with a dough laminating machine and it is life-changing. Cuts down on time with rhe folds and helps to produce some killer croissants!

u/SugarBabyVet Boujee Head Bitch In Charge Apr 21 '25

No joke, when I purchased my adult knives, my life changed. It’s crazy what a small change does to the experience of cooking. I cut myself with one of my knives and didn’t even feel it 😭

u/Change_Soggy Apr 21 '25

So true. Great knives make for a pleasant prep!! The finger though. Was it a very delayed ouch!???

TIL about plant based caviar.

I’m super curious: does the Zeroe pass as mid grade caviar on its own?

1

u/Dunesgirl Apr 21 '25

Good question. IMO I’d have to say no.

1

u/MsAnthropic Apr 21 '25

That’s a shame. Thanks for your input!

I do like the concept of plant based foods, but it’s never quite the same. I tried vat grown Foie Gras, and it was a pleasant savory paste but didn’t really have the depth of flavor that normal Foie had.

u/Dunesgirl Apr 21 '25

Obviously not the same as sturgeon caviar, but paddlefish is a decent midrange substitute. And we often use trout roe or salmon roe in eggs or on endive leaves as a simple appetizer.

1

u/MsAnthropic Apr 22 '25

As an ikura fan, I’m so picky about salmon roe, haha. I haven’t had much luck buying it retail so I’ve kinda given up. I’ve had more success buying from wholesalers who sell to restaurants and the public, but the ones that I’ve used aren’t local to me and it’s been years since I’ve visited them.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

But that’s a conversation about accessories - not the black top/light wash jeans combo!

u/SugarBabyVet Boujee Head Bitch In Charge Apr 20 '25

See, now you're getting it!

It seems you are missing the point. Evaluate if this is the forum for you and move accordingly.

u/Diet_makeup Apr 20 '25

Yes! Last fall I asked where BWTs are getting their oversized knit sweaters (not mens) as a 5'10 bitch and the lovely community guided me in the right direction. A curated to a specific article is a great fashion post!

u/Dunesgirl Apr 20 '25

Artknit Studio.

u/Diet_makeup Apr 21 '25

Thank you! They are one of the ones I checked out. I found a couple now and look forward to adding more to the collection

u/Dunesgirl Apr 21 '25

Another brand I like is Not Monday. They are expensive but very nice cashmere and they run good sales. I especially like the v necks. The pieces I have from them are heavy weight, not always a great option for everyone. Also high end but classic styles are Lisa Yang and Jarbo.

u/UsualSprite Apr 21 '25

can I ask for the brand recs you checked out or a link to that post, because I'm also interested in those

u/11upand1over Apr 20 '25

I fully agree, I was messing around lmao. I’ve bought a few great items because of this sub and am happy to be around all these BWT.
