Did someone press pause on the Skinny Jean ban?

We are between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, but we can assure you things are heating up FAST with our latest What’s Hot and What’s Not. We are going to breakdown what is happening right now and what is definitely not.

But first we’d like to take a moment of silence for Jill Sobule, singer of the groundbreaking 1995 hit “I Kissed a Girl.” Admittedly, we have not thought of Jill since the 90s, but we feel inexplicably distraught by her tragic house fire death at just 66. 💏

What’s hot!

  • Kate Middleton destroys in a pair of skinny jeans.

  • Pickles. Yes, all types. Gen Z is reaching the point where the cukes are almost too much for them.

  • One of the most popular Italian brainrot characters is…Ballerina Cappuccina (and we can see why!)

  • Chicken Jockey - hats off to Jack Black who has the youths in a tizzy for his famous words in the Minecraft movie when he shouts “Chicken jockey.” The youth have taken this and RAN. 🏃

  • ChatGPT - they grow up so fast. When we asked ChatGPT to describe our Substack back in Sept ‘23 she was all over the place. Our biggest observation is that she couldn’t decipher humor. Well, seems she’s been working on her funny bone. You can find her here roasting Derek Hough. She’ll be taking all of our jobs by end of day.

  • Gigi Perez’s debut album At the Beach, In Every Life.

"I got signed six months after my older sister, Celene, passed away, and in a way, it was a life raft for me out of an otherwise very dark reality," the 25-year-old singer-songwriter tells PEOPLE over Zoom.

  • Jennifer Aniston’s coffee ☕️ order! Jen’s adding collagen peptides to her coffee and so are we (as of two months ago.) Seems Jen has been on a collagen kick since 2016 and is the chief creative officer Vital Proteins. She’s also adding an undisclosed hazelnut flavoring to her morning cup. Go awwwfff gurl!

  • Met Gala happening Monday - The Theme: Superfine: Tailoring Black Style

  • Michelle Obama does the “Boots on the Ground” 🪭 fan dance!

  • Hoka sneakers! Yes they have been with us a few years but omg, it feels like you are walking on air. Did everyone know about these?

  • McDonald’s “Cotton Candy Sprite”

    • Order a Sprite: Start with a regular Sprite from McDonalds.

    • Ask for French Vanilla Syrup: Request that the cashier add three pumps of French vanilla syrup to your Sprite.

    • Enjoy: The resulting drink will have a sweet, cotton candy flavor. Be prepared to crash two hours later.
