Relative Chaos

Fixing Gravity, Body Image in the Instagram Era & the May Lineup We've Been Waiting For

Fresh off a blepharoplasty (aka a bleph) and looking a little bit like Zorro, Erin arrives ready for a full show-and-tell. What starts as a reveal turns into a candid conversation about cosmetic procedures, body image, and whether Instagram has completely distorted the way we see ourselves. Clare finally tells the dog story — including Dad’s deal, the puppy that never came, and the negotiation tactic only an older sister could finagle. The May book lineup gets its moment, Clare’s LA trip is thoroughly dissected, and the shared-calendar phase of her relationship is officially confirmed. Plus: TBLs, side hustles, and an introvert identity crisis.
