The Trailer For Nasty Gal’s TV Show Is Here & Corny
If you’ve been keeping up with Nasty Gal as of late, you’ve probably realized that their sale to a bigger brand was kind of a dumpster fire and they’ll probably never be the go-to thot attire e-tailer that you once knew.

But now, the Girlboss brand is coming out with more news, and it’s not necessarily bad news.

Netflix is launching a series based on Sophia Amoruso’s book, #Girlboss, which details the history of how she went from dumpster diving to having one of the fastest growing retailers of the time.

It’s also awkward because from the looks of the trailer, Nasty Gal is not mentioned by name at all and neither is Sophia Amoruso. This is likely a branding and business decision, but it’s convenient since Nasty Gal is not necessarily in a good light right now.
We know that it’s a lot easier to lounge on the couch and watch TV, but this is one of those times where you might want to just read the book, or at least read it before watching the series.
