LA is full of solid burger spots and Shake Shack’s footprint won’t be missed much, but I have a soft spot for the JFK location— only decent food inside Terminal 4.

Shake shack can't thrive on In-N-Out territory.

The In n Out Paris pop-up to protect their trademark is great information.

(Industry nerd-watch news" Eric misused "conflate" again, but the writers made a sly reference to the '80s movie "Trading Places" in naming Pierpoint's founders as Mortimer and Randolph )

Commenting before I read because - does your shirt say "Fernet Princess"? And where the fuck can I get it? Tell me it's vintage so I can relax and not have to spend money. Thank you!

I feel like NuFace is heavy in the advertorial space for beauty, but maybe that's because when people post before and afters it doesn't seem to move the needle that much? I have one and it has done nothing for me when I use it regularly.

Great for temp results, but you're right -- does nothing long term!

Substack is hiring a Health and Wellness-focused partnership role for “creators” which leads me to believe they’re doing a big recruiting push for writers (creators) in those categories.

Literally upgraded to paid because you have me this tidbit lol

I really miss Into The Gloss’ Top Shelf format of beauty content. It felt intimate, real and like someone revealing their secrets. Everything now seems like an advertorial and feels lame.

After ripping off a Michelle Obama speech for her 2016 appearance at the RNC, Melania follows it up by blatantly copying Sofia Coppola's book cover. Nothing personal against Melania, but she needs better people.

lol she didn’t actually copy it

Expand full comment

Oh I think her design people did her dirty. Almost exact same typeface and style. Both of their names ending in IA makes it even worse. But Melania probably has no idea the Sofia book even exists, it's lazy copycat design imo. Happens all the time in my industry too, so I have a chip on my shoulder about it
