In this Brand Spanking New episode of Stripped (*applause*), cohosts Emma and Isabel ask the tough questions, like: Is shopping making us lonely? Is self-love narcissism in disguise? And, wait a minute, does everyone look better with bangs?! They’re not experts but they’ve got opinions, and they even cite studies (!) which they probably misinterpret but you can figure it out for yourself, links below. Needless to say, they’re off to a start so rockin’ the neighbors are going to complain.
