When it comes to weather, everyone wants something slightly different.

Some girlies (Carol) love a bundled up snow day and some girlies (Skylar) love a pair of cut offs and Rainbow flip flops in 74 degree sunshine with no humidity. And there is a place for all of us.

This week we’re curious where the girlies mostly side. What’s the temp on your perfect day and why is it secretly harder to answer than you’d think?

🌹Many of us are fully seated for Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of the Bachelorette, which starts March 22nd. As we continue to discuss options for a girlie bracket, get to know the “book of More Men.”

⛸️ “It’s scary, and it makes you extra emotional, and it’s hard.” - Amber Glenn on the realities of competing in the Olympics while on her period. And I pat myself on the back when I wear anything but sweatpants.

🥇SNL host Connor Storrie’s opening monologue comedically paid tribute to the US Women’s Hockey Team while recognizing both gold medal teams. (oh, also rumors have been circulating about Storrie appearing in a Dirty Dancing sequel)

🗡️ Ultimate Traitor Rob Raush spotted in Kansas City with a girl many are speculating might just be more than a friend.

💄This year the Actor Awards (formerly SAG Awards) are going through some changes. Not only will the show now be streamed on Netflix, but it will feature a dress code theme for the first time in 31 years. “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the ’20s and ’30s."

✂️ Demi Moore debuted a dramatic new hairstyle at Milan Fashion Week, chopping off the long locks for a choppy bob. Victoria Beckham walked so Demi could run.

🖊️ As wordy women, we were pleased to learn an essay contest was part of the first official celebration of women’s history that lead to the President declaring March 7, 1982 Women’s History Week, before March officially became Women’s History Month in the late ‘80s.

Skylar: I don’t care who I’m sitting next to on an airplane. CEO, mom on a mission, or a man in cargo shorts, one thing is certain. I am absolutely going to glance at your phone and quietly observe you based on your algorithm.

It’s one of the only times I’m this close to a complete stranger, and I get to see how they view the world. What the internet is feeding them. What headlines it thinks they want to click on and engage with. I’m endlessly fascinated by how wildly different everyone’s feed is, and honestly? How completely, totally, perfectly it matches the person holding the phone.

I’m not surprised we live in a world of echo chambers and confirmation bias. I see it happen in real time every time someone opens their app of choice and scrolls through a feed so different from mine it looks almost wrong to my brain. I have to physically stop myself from tapping their shoulder and saying, “Wait, go back. What did that headline say? Who is that influencer and why are they selling that blender with that level of conviction?”

On my flight to Austin this week, I watched the woman in front of me scrolling and had a full internal spiral. I wanted to shout from the rooftops, “No, wait. My feed has the correct content. The funniest content. The most important content. The content everyone is talking about… right?!”

And then it hit me. Every single one of us feels that way. We’re genuinely shocked when someone hasn’t seen the reel. Or heard the podcast clip. Or knows nothing about the niche internet drama that has consumed our entire week.

Anyway. In the middle of this existential algorithm crisis, I realized I’ve been doomscrolling a little too professionally lately. So I downloaded an app called Brainrot, which politely informed me (via animated hard truths) that if I maintain my current habits, I will spend TEN YEARS OF MY LIFE LOOKING AT A PHONE.

Woof.

I downloaded it. I’m detoxing. I’ll report back.

Also, started the first few episodes of the HBO show Neighbors and wow, that has been a wild ride. Curious if anyone else is watching yet besides my group chat which had the below to say.

Carol: Typically, my Sundays are a ritual: coffee shops and newsletter writing. But Today? Today was the closest I’ve ever come to forgetting it was Sunday.

I remembered at 7:30pm. Luckily, thankfully, wondrously, I’m in Italy. Meaning it’s a mere 1:30pm EST. Crisis averted. Still, I texted Skylar in a panic.

And when I opened the draft, as she always does, Skylar had already left a hilarious and deeply apt working title waiting for me.

We’re nearing our one-year anniversary of GCG, and it’s wild to think we’ve sent a weekly newsletter for almost eleven (11!!) straight months. There have been many nights in many time zones where we’ve done math that felt way harder than it should just to figure out when to press send.

We’re really glad you’re here, and we hope you know how much you mean to us. I mean… I’m literally writing this from Italy, forallthingsholy.

At my fav breakfast spot in Austin (Phoebe’s Diner), one of the chic waitresses was wearing a sweater I complemented, and like a true girlie, she gave me deets.

She immediately said “whatnot” and I said “what now?” She did not laugh. She did tell me that she bought it on the live auction site, whatnot.

I hadn’t heard of it, so I’m sharing with the girlies and asking if anyone has thoughts?She warned that it’s super addicting.

Hungry? Enjoy the unexpected recos that came out of Heather McMahan’s Trader Joes post this week.

A few people commenting that the bruschetta + pre cooked lentils is an elite dip combo, and I can confirm. I personally add in the feta with mediterranean herbs and it’s top notch snacking for a few days. I eat it with the pita chips, but seeing some tortilla chip shout outs.

We know it’s a leeeetle crazy. One weekend. Two shows. Come to one! Come to both!

Friday 3/27 at OMB. Romance Bookish Girlies Unite! Don’t miss this amazing show with two sports romance authors! Not a bookworm? No worries, it’s not a pre-requisite.

Sunday 3/29 at Duckworths Comedy Club. Bring a friend who “doesn’t usually go out on Sundays.” Live a little, it’s 2026! It’s a special stand up forward night for the girlies.

Last week we asked what iconic couple you’d most want to see get the scripted series treatment ala Love Story.

The couple that literally lives rent free in our brain is Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, with 46% of you wanting to see their story on the screen. (also shout out to the girlie who reminded us of this).

23% of you would tune in to see the Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake saga, 11% would prefer Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise as well as Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, and 7% voted for Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love.

Girlies Know Girlies. And we need your help. We’re putting together something special, and we want to know a) what is the way you know if someone in the wild is a girlie? and b) what would give you the girlie stamp of approval to try going to a new event? Email us back and share your thoughts.
