If you are someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or is in crisis and are in the US, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988 to be automatically connected to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline for free and confidential support. As a nod to the “teenage dirtbag” trend, we’re kicking it back to the good hair and bad attitude of our quintessential ‘90s queen, Alicia Silverstone and her epic Aerosmith video trilogy.

In addition to dishing on matching tattoos, sexy gas pumping, scandalous nepotism, and stealing white bread, we tackle old man gawkers, the perks of being pretty, and of course, those magic moments of teenage freedom.
