Have you ever in your life heard the word bifurcate? Because I hadn’t until Megan threw it out all casual amidst the recording of this (!), another amazing podcast featuring her and me and all our hottest takes.
Listen to the new Style Girlfriend podcast here:
I won’t get into the context here—because otherwise how would I get you to listen?—but I will give you a little teaser of the brilliant and engaging topics we cover this week:
First up—the dramatic conclusion of this year’s SG Madness is upon us, and Megan’s pick, the illustrious Michael B. Jordan, defeated my boyfriend Armie Hammer to get there.
I’m not mad, just disappointed.
So I’m switching teams! Gabi’s (strategic) pick, Ryan Gosling, also advanced, which, as you’ll hear, does not please Megan. She throws a lot of shade, guys. A lot. We recorded this before the results of the Final Four had even come in, and now Jordan is facing off against Gosling in the championship! Drama!!
Next—we dive into the murky waters of underwear marketing, specifically around the launch of Everlane’s new intimates.
To say that Megan and I have feelings about the items themselves as well as the campaign around them would be… an understatement. (Get it?!) We feel alienated, slightly offended, we’re bored, we’re 13 again? It’s a lot.Â
Megan can’t really get over the un-sexy-ness and the Jemima Kirke-i-ness of it all, and I take umbrage with the idea that plain cotton underwear in black, white, grey or light pink is somehow a feminist revelation for the modern woman. Luckily for you guys, their boxer briefs are just, well, boxer briefs.
And that’s fine? We guess? We still love you Everlane, but we do not love this.
Then? Mail call! We received a few fun quick-hit fashion questions from readers, and answered them as such. From date night shoes for college guys to button down shirt styling tips and even some ~ outfit ideas ~ built around Lululemon tech-y pants, it’s fun and fast and still somehow more explanation than is probably necessary.
And finally… The hot takes! Megan wonders how John Mayer will wear his new Nike sneakers with all that turquoise, while I have *honk if you’re horny* feelings about Pacey Witter aka Joshua Jackson aka my Forever TV Bae on the cover of Entertainment Weekly‘s Dawson’s Creek reunion cover.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A BRAND CAMPAIGN (REALLY) TURNED YOU OFF?Â
