Mean Girl Energy

Hi hi hi! Coming up on today’s show: “It’s giving mean girl”. We see this kind of comment all the time, on our own socials, and all across the internet. But what does it actually mean? What is ‘mean girl energy’ – what are ‘mean girl vibes’? This language is so evocative, but are we actually using it to call out mean behaviour, or are we using it to just… shut women down? This episode of Shameless is brought to you by CeraVe’s Blemish Control range – Developed with Dermatologists to help you Clear it Up Like A Derm. Your hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1).

BOOK CLUB: The Wedding Party

BOOK CLUB: The Wedding Party

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0upIFOFUFi4pOOPwtHuk6A?si=40e1fdacf8f64970 Happy Saturday, book club pals! This month we read ‘The Wedding Party’ by New York Times bestselling novelist Jasmine Guillory. The book follows characters Maddie and Theo, who have two things in common: they share a best friend called Alexa, and they hate each other. Yet, underneath the sharp barbs they toss at one another is a simmering attraction that builds until they can’t resist sneaking off together when Alexa isn’t looking. This book is full of love, lust, and sex, which gives us oh so much to talk about. Got some thoughts on our July pick, ‘The Island of Missing Trees’ by Elif Shafak? We’re allllll ears (also, eyes, heads, bodies, etc etc) - join in the convo over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub.
