Fashion Flops, Shankle Season and Misguided Compliments

from I SHAKE MY HEAD · host Lisa Gibson & Samantha Sperling

Are you mystified by the cult of the shankle those brave ankles emerging prematurely at the first hint of spring? Can midlife women find a place to shop when everything is cropped and caters to the under-25 crowd? Is plaid ever a good look, or do you feel like an accidental lumberjack in the changing room? Is “you’re aging well” ever actually a compliment, or is the audacity too much to bear? Is your snack routine leading you to crunchy disappointment? Lisa dives into her love-hate relationship with creamy dill veggie chips. Are they really healthier, or just a caloric trick in a “healthy” package? Lisa has questions about egg yolk and whether humans should worry about the color (and smell) of their own poop. Is sending “per my last email” just a passive-aggressive way to get people’s attention or the best tool in your Monday morning arsenal? Which retro insults do you want to bring back: twerp, scallywag, or the ever controversial twat-waffle? Join Lisa and Sam for hilarious banter, surprising revelations, and the honest truth about surviving midlife fashion, food, and friendship all while shaking your head at the absurdities of everyday life.
