In this week’s Valley Girl, I wrote about the 90s porn peak in the San Fernando Valley and my junior high dress code—because they go so well together. open.substack.com/pub/koabeck/p/…

New Valley Girl🌴📰 This week, I wrote about how sex work in the San Fernando Valley in the 1970s and 1980s generated the misogynistic stereotype that Valley Girls are “sluts.” open.substack.com/pub/koabeck/p/…
