Happy Fri-yay! Are people still referring to Wednesday as “hump day” or has our new WFH hybrid model done away with the humps? Speaking of humps who’s watching S3 of And Just Like That?
We didn’t have the strenfff to watch last night but rumor has it that our beloved Carrie is being forced into a dry vag storyline. This is simply a devastating development. Just took a swing through twitter and found this tweet —
Count us in Michele! 👋🏻👩🏼⚖️
What’s hot, what’s not and what is starting to rot? Let’s take a look!
What’s Hot!🔥
White Wine Is Back!
According to The Wine Enthusiast crisp white wines are popping. Traditionally red has been a mainstay, but in recent years Millennials and Gen Z have caused white wines to go from fad to necessity. So put down your burgundies and noirs and grab a chill glass of suav blanc.
SOHOs Tween Row
Broadway between Broome and Spring in Soho is now gloriously known as Tween Row. There are 5 notable stores on the block that are drawing gobs of tweens south of Houston: Edikted, Brandy Melville, Princess Polly, Garage, and PacSun.
The Rise of the Hobosexual!
A hobosexual is a person who dates you with the sole interest of having a place to stay –- not a genuine romantic interest.
Obviously not great, but in this housing market — who amongst? Wondering how we are determining that someone’s sole purpose for dating is to get a roof over their head. Do they just blurt it out during the breakup? “I was only with you for your 3bds | 2ba | 2,109 sqft and spacious deck!”

Janet Ate the AMAs
According to our BFF Google, Janet Jackson was the top-trending performer at the American Music Awards this year.
Emily is raising a glass (of white wine, duh) to the rest of her itty bitty titty committee like Zoe Kravitz, Florence Pough, Nicole Kidman and Jenny Slate who are the wee-breasted leading ladies rn. Just let us have this, okay?
Long Summer Jorts
Jorts are back in the headlines. Now, Emily covered breaking Jort news back in fall of ‘24. So we have to wonder, are jorts just fashion clickbait?
We are still very much questioning the validity of a Jort trend ha.
Sydney Sweeney Is Doing the Most
Our little entrepreneur Sydney is selling her bathwater for $8. Don’t worry — it’s not like when TikToker Stephanie Matto made 200K selling her jarred farts! Sydney teamed up with Dr. Squatch to create Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss, a limited-edition bar of soap that’s infused with her bathwater. Sydney is marketing to the fellas:
Ingredients include pine-bark extract, shea butter, and sand, and the scent is appropriately called “Morning Wood.” “I wanted to have it lean toward my home roots, so there’s this really outdoorsy scent of, like, pine and earthy moss and fir,” Sweeney diplomatically said. “So it smells super manly.”
In a Father’s day gift guide fever dream, 5000 bars will go live on 6/6. If you man is funky, Sydney’s bathwater just might be the motivation he needs to clean up.
