I’m About To Make It Weird
Welcome to Hotter & Weirder! I’m Amie Kelbing, a multi-hyphenate creative who takes one thing, and only one thing very seriously: calling bullshit on literally everything.
Why is “finding your person” the pinnacle of personal happiness?
Why are children so great and why is everyone having them?
Why do we try so hard to look young when we’re all getting older by the second?
This is a safe space, safe from all the platitudes you’ve heard about aging. Fuck aging gracefully, fuck turning back the hands of time. We’re taking a cold, hard look at all the things we do to hold on to our one true beauty and laughing in the face of beauty standards we didn’t create and don’t do us any favors, mental health-wise.
You don’t have to reject botox or hair dye, you just have to be willing to question some of the measures we take to stay young-looking forever, and acknowledge that our obsession with the beauty of youth is misguided.

About Me
What are those hyphenates I mentioned up top? I’m a filmmaker/writer/comedian/agency owner/massage therapist and all-around odd duck. I started my journey by creating The Spinster Life, and if you go back through my archives on any of my platforms you’ll see content bearing that branding. And it’s not going anywhere, it’s a great reminder of where I came from. I spent my 20s and 30s frantically dating every rando who swiped right. In 2019 I stopped dating other people and started dating myself. What I ended up finding was more fulfilling than any relationship I’d previously been in.
Hotter & Weirder is an expansion of that focus on singleness, branching out to include all of the topics that interest me. But especially beauty standards related to aging.
