"Being like other girls" & trend cycles

What this episode covers

Dara Levitan was ahead of the poncho trend in middle school and nobody listened. Written apologies accepted. In episode 5, Dara and Carly Rivlin talk about trend cycles (social media kills the moment & why nostalgia reigns), why being like other girls is the whole point, and hunks in beauty campaigns (Rob from Love Island, we see you). Plus a follower hotline question on spending money smartly: bags first, quality denim always, and why a secondhand leather jacket beats fast fashion every time.
