Hi, Messketeers!

That’s right, we’ve done it again! And this time with a much improved, much more professional audio setup so people can actually hear all of my bad opinions. Listen to Jess and I blow past the singular hour we had planned to record this podcast for as we get swept up in some very important conversations surrounding the Kardashians’ obsession with self-replication and Jada Pinkett Smith’s mom’s abs, which I mistakenly credit to Halle Berry’s mom in the episode. Apologies as my brain can only contain so much useless celebrity information at one time, but please know that this exact image of her in a bikini appeared vividly in my mind’s eye the entire time I was speaking so incorrectly about her.

Ok without futher ado, some of our thoughts on pop culture in the month of June!

We’re back and serving up another episode of The Review of Mess: a podcast collaboration between The Review of Beauty (by me, Jessica DeFino) and I <3 Mess (a fashion newsletter from Emily Kirkpatrick). Don’t worry, we heard you last month — even if you couldn’t hear us!! — and fixed our audio issues…
