The Case Against Being Nice

Somewhere on Lily Allen’s tour schedule, between soundcheck and emails, was “test butt plug”. Holly unpacks the new merch and asks whether celebrity sex toys are still smart business, or just the new perfume. Plus, Jessie makes the case against being nice. Is keeping the peace quietly wrecking our relationships? Also, the questions to ask your friends if you actually want to know them better, and why one of them is a slippery slope. And of course our weekly reccos, including a podcast interview with a bombshell that had one of us gasping on the train, and Em’s defence of a movie nobody likes at all.
