Fit Check

Fit Check now has multiple hosts rotating in-and-out for Season 2!! Griffin teams up with Joshua to kick off the new season as they have Lauren Graves come on the show. She’s a junior at College of Charleston, videographer, amateur drummer, and expert photographer of “style doppelgängers.” Lauren hops on the pod to talk about her consistently weird (but cool) personal style involving purple hair, thrifted dog shirts, septum piercings and platform boots. She also has a knack for finding strangers wearing the same clothes.

LESSON OF THE POD: Good calves come with good genes.

The artist behind the Fit Check Cover Art, Shash Comandur, hops on the pod to talk about his art style and inspirations. As a self-taught artist, Shash, fills Griffin in on the artists he learned to copy before developing his own taste and aesthetic. From making Team Fortress 2 character models as a kid to designing abstract art while vibing to Mariposa by Felly, Shash hopes to keep pulling from the culture around him for inspiration. LESSON OF THE POD: Coat your cheap rings with clear nail polish so they last longer.

Sarah joins Griffin on the pod to share some insight about her wardrobe and how it shifts between feminine and masculine on the regular. She also couldn’t help but break down why we get those blisters on the back of our heels. With summer just around the corner, Griffin and Sarah both take a jab at guessing some trends coming our way. Sarah sees chunky hair clips and the low rise pants from the early 2000s in our future and Griffin sees 5 inch inseams as the go-to shorts for the summer. They both agree on the liberating feeling of dressing for themselves instead of for others. The lesson of the day...guys should wear crop tops and girls should wear cargo pants.
