On the face of things, Hollywood and Botox go together like Leonardo DiCaprio and dating younger women. But is that really the case? After a spate of negative headlines about both Botox'ed up stars (Anne Hathaway, that woman in Euphoria) and those who have chosen to go Botox-free (Catherine Zeta-Jones), we dive into the thorny issue of beauty and womanhood. Why do stars feel compelled to get Botox? And what does the current spate of tweakments mean for the way we watch films? Are we cursed to suffer through iPhone face forever?

Also in: India dives into Paralives, her new Sims-like obsession, and we discuss the issue of Pride, and why big brands seem to be turning away from it. Apart from Levis, of course.

Join the Pop Cult

We’re India and Vicky, two journalists who love to talk about anything and everything – but most often pop culture. What makes society tick? What does the Met Gala say about the state of capitalism? And would we make good tradwives (bread: yes. Subjugation: no)? Join us as we plunge into the murky depths of the internet in our quest for answers.
