SCROLLING
• I’ve got a feeling this piece about what happens when mean girls grow up, and why it sometimes feels like you just can’t escape school is going to resonate with A LOT of you!
• Kate Moss turned 50 and swapped champagne for chakras in a far-flung destination. Not exactly a boost for those of us who spent our big birthday in Pizza Express!
• Shere Hite: the forgotten feminist who changed women’s sex lives forever.
• What’s blocking your creativity?
• I want to go out and get very, very drunk* with Lisa St Aubin de Teran! (*except I don’t drink, but you get the drift) £
• The secret sorrow of hotel rooms.
• Natalie Portman on why method acting is a luxury most women can’t afford. £
