Second Year CI Student Featured in Recent Buzzfeed Article
**Note: The Bimbo Manifesto is a satire**
"Teaching everyone how being stupid is the smartest thing you can do. The art of being so self obsessed that you forget about the dark aspects of your life. Bimbofication can help anyone of any age, gender or profession."
Second year creative industries student, Fiona Fairbairn, has been featured in a recent article by Buzzfeed's Pernell Quilon (external link) . Fiona is the creator of the viral 'Bimbo Manifesto', a satirical TikTok page and podcast dedicated to teaching the rules of ‘bimbofication’ (external link) . Her TikTok page (@gsgetlonelytoo (external link) ) has amassed over 165k followers and over 4.3m views. Her podcast is available on Spotify, Anchor and Apple.
In the words of Quilon, “In Fiona's podcast The Bimbo Manifesto (external link, opens in new window) , she clarifies that a bimbo is, categorically, a super hot woman who people think (key word) is an airhead. The act of "bimbofication" is turning yourself into a bimbo, even if you aren't already one. And to her, there's power in that.”
He goes on to interview Fiona, where she reveals “I think my tips could be for bimbos, 'himbos', and 'thembos' — literally anybody," she said. "Even a mom was like, 'I'm 30, going through a divorce, and you're helping me.' So it doesn't really matter who you are. I'm just teaching people to be their own biggest fan, and own best friend."
