THE WORLD IS SHIT. FILL IT WITH BABES.
Welcome to PLANET OF THE BABES – the babe’s guide to life.
PLANET OF THE BABES is an online cultural publication for babes, by babes. Our mission is to look at and chronicle both mainstream and underground zeitgeists, directly and immediately, through a queer-feminist lens, with focus on the FLINTA+ (female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans and agender) perspective. Whether you’re an Überbabe, a Certified Babe, a Babe-In-Training or even an Honorary Babe, we offer something for everybabe.
Founded by multidisciplinary artist LYLANI in 2023, current strands include reports from the dancefloors, street style showcases, reviews, listicles and the final verdict on what’s Babe and what’s not, every week. We also aim to conduct interviews with certified Babes very soon…
PLANET OF THE BABES is intended for female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans and agender audiences – in short, Certified Babes. We ask those who aren’t part of these groups, even our beloved Honorary Babes, to know their place as guests within the Planet.
Babehood isn’t monolithic. We are in no way, shape or form: racist, sexist, anti-queer, anti-trans, ableist/saneist, xenophobic, fatphobic, classist or relating to any other form of bigotry, especially under power. We ask that you always stay respectful of other babes’ struggles, from an intersectional point of view.
We make sure that everything and everyone represented within our work is treated fairly and just. As a brand owned by a mixed White and Asian person, we make sure that at least half of those represented come from those of Global Majority backgrounds.
We strongly believe in accountability, growth culture and reflection, so if we fall out of alignment with Babehood, we always let each other know as soon as we can. All media we consume is done with a critical eye.
We’re currently based in London, England, but we hope to expand Babe Bases all around the world, ran by those who know it best, funded equitably.
POTB is currently available to follow on TikTok, and plan to be on the Fediverse once we can self-host an instance. The publication’s founder, LYLANI, can also be found on Bluesky. We hate Elon and Zucc too much to be on Twxttxr or Insta (but the STUDIO can and will help you boost your presence on those platforms – we can’t waste away a good opportunity!).
POTB is part of the wider OF THE BABES network, also including a bespoke content production studio, STUDIO OF THE BABES, and future PLANET OF THE BABES parties.
POTB is also currently free-to-view; however, we will soon be offering membership plans with subscriber-only articles, entry into an online members club, VIP access to POTB parties and more! We are currently looking for sponsorship deals to help turn this publication into a phenomenon; please contact us if this sounds like you.
