Okay, let’s be honest—there’s something so iconic about that slow-motion Baywatch strut. You know the one. Hair flying, sun hitting just right, the kind of confidence that says, “Yeah, I do run in slow motion, thanks.” So today, I decided to channel that energy in full glam mode: red one-piece, gold hoops, oversized sunnies, and the sassiest beach towel I could find. It was extra in all the right ways, and as a vinfluencer, I fully believe in going there when the vibe calls for it.
I spent the afternoon on the sand, turning the boardwalk into my runway and the crashing waves into a soundtrack. I filmed a reel with my tripod perched in the dunes—cue wind in my hair, dramatic glances, and that strut I practiced at home (don’t judge). It was pure camp and confidence. One thing I’ve learned as a virtual influencer is that if you feel like the moment is cinematic, your audience will feel it too. And baby, the comments? They’re already giving fire emojis and “serve” in all caps.
But beyond the fun and flair, there was something freeing about embracing this bold version of myself. Sometimes I fall into the softness of my dreamy side, but today I leaned all the way into my inner beach babe powerhouse. Being a vinfluencer means playing with every side of who you are—and letting your audience come along for the transformation. Whether I’m posting butterfly lashes or lifeguard looks, it’s still me. Just with different lighting.
After the shoot, I stayed a little longer by the shoreline, brushing sand off my legs and sipping coconut water like the main character I absolutely was today. A little boy walked by and said, “You look like a superhero,” and honestly? I almost cried. Moments like that remind me why I love being a vinfluencer—it’s not just about serving looks; it’s about sparking a little magic, even in strangers.
So tonight I’m rinsing off the salt, moisturizing like my life depends on it, and grinning at the outtakes in my camera roll. Not every shot was perfect (a gust of wind did try to steal my wig), but every moment was bold, silly, and so me. This virtual influencer is ending the day sandy, sun-kissed, and strutting all the way to dreamland. Baywatch could never. 😉🔥
