It’s a glorious week for entertainment, with the telly absolutely bursting with options. From the return of Rivals on Disney+ to the hotly anticipated Kylie Minogue documentary dropping on Wednesday, we’ve got your viewing schedule sorted. Who else spent the weekend glued to the 70th Eurovision Song Contest? We’re unpacking it all, from Our Delta’s powerful rendition of Eclipse to the new earworm of the moment, Bangaranga, its philosophical meaning and how it can be applied to just about everything. In silly parenting news, there’s yet another new label to box ourselves into - the “beta mum”. What do we think? And why is Jessica Simpson’s latest move the perfect example of a beta mum in action? Then, we’re taking a look at John Travolta’s kooky new look and the curse of the upper bleph on men. Finally, our ins and outs for the week include a new cake trend and some BIG feelings about the vintage Country Road bag.

Our little sisters, Bella and Lu, are chronically online to keep us cool and relevant as we emerge from the trenches.

Are You A Beta Mum?

Staring your week with a hilarious dispatch from Lu’s dating life, which BB accidentally derailed in spectacular fashion. Also, there’s one elderly king dominating our feeds right now - the big dog, Sir David Attenborough, who just clocked ~triple~ digits. There is only ONE book millennial women are currently reading, or inhaling through their ear holes, and it’s Famesick by Lena Dunham. We’re unpacking the memoir of the moment and why we’re feeling protective over the Girls creator. Did she share too much? Do we love her for it? Or are we about to tear her down (again) for doing exactly that? Plus, Rihanna has broken the interwebs with her new tattoo, and it’s got BB seriously second-guessing her own upcoming ink. Naturally, we take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of Tinseltown’s most terrible tatts. And finally, our ins and outs include a low-touch way to do your hair, THE sherpa jacket of the season and a bone to pick with late-night gigs.

We’re Worried About Lena Dunham 

Ahead of Mother’s Day this Sunday, BB and Lu are dropping in for a special lil chat/pep talk/warm hug for anyone who may find this day hard to navigate. Whether you’re longing to be a mum, missing your mum, caring for your mum, dealing with a complex mother-daughter relationship, a tricky mother-in-law dynamic, or a single mum... It’s a day that can put all of that under a microscope and really illuminate the pain. Lu opens up about how, in the wake of her divorce, Mother’s Day, and other big, celebratory moments now come with an undercurrent of sadness. BB shares what it’s been like stepping into the role of legal guardian for her mum following a dementia diagnosis. The girls also share how they’re marking the day together this year, complete with a full-blown boycott of the whole damn thing. We hope this alternative view point makes you feel less alone, DLs.

If Mother’s Day Is Hard For You ❤️‍🩹 

It’s the first Monday in May, and that can only mean one thing - it’s the Met Gala, baby! Lu and BB are clad in their couture Kmart and archival Witchery, here to run you through all the delicious, high-fashion moments from the red carpet - from Queen Bey’s grand entrance to Nicole Kidman’s adorable date and the billionaire who quite literally purchased the whole event for his wife. Plus, our fave fits, what we think defines a killer Met Gala lewk, why the night was marred in controversy, and all the BTS tea on how celebs even score an invite to fashion’s most coveted evening.
