Hey boss babes and bros! Today we give you the lowdown on the rise and spectacular cultural fall of the mythical #girlboss, before delving into how on earth multi-level marketing organisations (i.e. pyramid schemes, but make it fashion) still exist. Somehow we also manage to cover how carabiners are inherently hot, the emergence of the 'gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss' movement, and how Clea is so lonely she'd pay someone to take her on a date (don't ask). Enjoy this deep dive into our collective neoliberal hellscape, and let us know if you'd like to get in on the ground floor of our brand new MLMs!
