. That’s manscaping. Doesn’t that count? It’s a bit ‘June’.
Which intimate spaces should I be scaping in September, then? Your airport security tray. Cool or crazy? Even fridges are getting a scape-over on Instagram. As in the grubby grey things? The very same.
The trend for styling them is currently huge on TikTok where it’s being called ‘airport tray aesthetic’ (16 million views and rising). What should be in the photograph? TikToker Piper Taich – considered by Gen Z to be a leading authority in this field – goes for a pair of shoes, sunglasses, a hair accessory, coordinating cosmetics, a boarding card and a retro camera. Most of which don’t need to be taken out of your bag at security.
Doh! You do it afterwards. What do you think those polling station-esque tables are for? For people to pack away their ugly stuff in private? Yes, but they are also the perfect canvas for your performative possessions. Budding trayscapers should note, however, that this is a competitive arena, so Taich advises an at-home practice shoot before going live.
How do I do that? All you need is one of Amazon’s grey potting trays (£11.99), the aforementioned items and a TikTok/Instagram account. Brighten.
