Nobody’s done more for enviro than TOYOTA!
Happy Friday!
Memorial Day weekend might be sunshine and rosé for some but it’s giving sinus infection for me. A very *interesting* edition ahead and here's hoping I can breathe from both nostrils soon!
This week's picks include digital body language, Billie Eilish x Linktree(?) and Megan thee Stallion’s tequila brand.
Christina’s weekly scroll –
Billie Eilish and… Linktree? Lol.
Damn,
*ate* with this piece about frozen yogurt as a recession-era emblem of decadence and restraint.What should we realistically expect from celebrity activism?
A24 and MACK’s new publishing partnership is bringing A24 to brick-and-mortar in a huge way.
Megan thee Stallion teased her new tequila line during her Chicago show. WHAT ABOUT COGNAC, QUEEN???
Belle Delphine is finally cashing out on her GamerGirl bathwater.
People sincerely thought Alexander Wang's lookalike Ricco ad was AI? OPEN THE SCHOOLS.
After more than two years of work, Christina Ricci is releasing a tarot deck + guidebook.

Digital body language! So much to think about from emojis complicating meaning for some, to even the etiquette of how you listen to a voice memo.
Kids just aren’t awkward anymore. Have we delayed their development?
My friends at Tyler McGillivary finally did their nostalgia shoot and it is SO good.
I <3 Ghia and it’s one of my favorite brand universes! And a brand I was skeptical about at the start. Enjoyed listening to the TASTE podcast with
! (she also runs a very fun Substack!)Liquid Death is giving away a jet, and mocking Pepsi.
More Bumble news! Bumble bought Geneva, to focus on being more of a ‘friendship’ app. Tinder is pivoting to being a ‘relationship’ app. People like the app where they get a higher volume of matches and conversations, and the whole thing is misery now. Best of luck to Big Dating!
Collab corner: Aimé Leon Dore x Rimowa. Chic! Proenza x Vans – curious! The Birks were fun!
Sad week for fashion brand closures. RIP to Mara Hoffman (the blueprint!), The Vampire’s Wife and Calvin Luo’s eponymous label. We need a better system for young brands that isn’t just flinging them into a huge eComm site.
Lean Cuisine… revival? Kinda? Nestlé is launching meals aimed at GLP-1 users…
A dive into the ‘high-value woman’ dating coaches of TikTok. I for one… am not a fan! I think most of this rhetoric, from both genders, is alienating all of us.
