Hi, and welcome back to Line Sheet. The Oscars are over, which means we can all go on vacation. See you in September…
Psych! Today, along with my red carpet analysis and some observations from Oscars weekend, I’ve got fresh intel on the Matches disaster. (No, I have no idea how long your discount code will keep working...) I also offer a few thoughts on the dispiriting state of Victoria’s Secret and a head-scratching update on one of our favorite recurring characters, Naadam’s Matt Scanlan.
P.S., a friendly reminder to all the scumbags still forwarding this email: I can totally tell and am going to put a hex on you and your family. This is what all you fashion people get for believing in tarot, psychics, and astrology. Cheaters can sign up with the code LINESHEET for a woo-woo-free discount.
