Dear Gossips, You know how things sometimes (not always) happen for a reason? I had a ball yesterday editing the site, cosplaying Lainey and/or Sarah, guided by the capable (Emily) and patient (lol, Jacek) artists behind the scenes, and scanning the pop culture landscape as a whole, as much

Julia Roberts Always Commits

Lainey and I have lots and lots in common – both as people and in our pop culture interests. But arguably what makes us both better are the parts that belong to only one of us, like musical theatre or the K-pop oeuvre. We learn by osmosis from each other,
