DITL

From 9 to 5, one’s the boss; from 5 to 9, the other calls the shots. Together, Anastasia Karanikolaou – aka Stassiebaby – and Alexis Fleischer create the perfect balance. Better Half is your backstage pass into the world of friendships, relationships, and the entertainment industry—where personal meets professional and chaos is part of the charm. They say opposites attract—these two are a beautifully unhinged recipe for something you won’t want to miss.
