Hey there, everybody. Welcome to fan tides, podcast waffles, complex, complicated conversations

about the gray areas in our lives, journalists, editor, and a ledger soon to be author,

Treval Anderson. I just think if I keep saying it, that it will make me actually finish my

book proposal.

I was going to say, like, it's happening slowly but surely, but it's happening.

think it's possible that we could do any other conversation. I actually got a DM from

someone saying, like, I have an idea for past the popcorn. You also talk about Gorilla

Glue Girl. And I was like, it's already done. Know that it's coming. Treval, I'll let

you break down how this story came about because I was, I want to be clear, I really avoided

Simone's beauty, IRL newsletter. Make sure you all check that out. And if you have the

funds, go become a subscriber of it. She's doing really great work around the intersection

Brown posted a TikTok explaining that her hairstyle hadn't changed in about a month.
