Hey dolls,
It’s Thursday, and we’re back in your inboxes with some very exciting news. We’ve just launched our first ever guest-edited issue, with none other than pop girlie Jade Thirlwall. The issue contains features with Head of Editorial Content at British Vogue Chioma Nnadi, writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch, climate activist Mikaela Loach, musician Lana Lubany and all round it girl Richie Shazam, so it’s certifiably stacked. Copies are available here (Opens in a new window) and we hope you love it as much as we do!
Elsewhere this week on the Dollhouse, we’re remembering the legendary Shelley Duvall, considering Gen Z cringe, and loads more, so let’s jump in!
