Saison 1 · Épisode 41

lundi 28 septembre 2026 • Durée 29:27

What is facelift recovery actually like beyond the before-and-after photos? Catt Sadler opens up about choosing a deep plane facelift in her 40s, the recovery surprises she didn’t expect, and what she actually paid.

Why Catt considered a facelift in her 40s
Choosing a surgeon she trusted
Combining a facelift, neck lift and upper eyelid surgery
Preparing for surgery and arranging support at home

• Shiseido’s research into collagen and skin’s support network

Why Social Media Makes It Harder to Find Your Style with Mandy Lee

Saison 1 · Épisode 37

mercredi 2 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:10:01

Social media gives us endless fashion inspiration, so why is it making personal style harder to find?

Fashion trend forecaster Mandy Lee, known online as @oldloserinbrooklyn, joins Amy Chang to unpack why fear of looking wrong, being “cringe,” or changing in public can keep us from developing a style that actually feels like our own.

Mandy explains why people online increasingly dress alike, even when real life remains much more diverse, and how TikTok and Instagram can turn aesthetics into rigid rulebooks. Amy and Mandy explore trending topics like why personal style requires vulnerability, experimentation and the willingness to make mistakes.

They also discuss how politics, economics and regional culture shape fashion; why copying an aesthetic isn’t the same as developing taste; clean-girl fatigue and the return of indie sleaze; Pinterest versus genuine trend forecasting; accelerating trend cycles; and how internet culture is changing beauty and body standards. Mandy’s most practical advice is surprisingly simple: stop shopping. Wear what is already in your closet, photograph your outfits and pay attention to what you naturally repeat. That process can reveal what you genuinely like—and what your wardrobe actually needs.

What Really Happened to Crystal Kung Minkoff on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Saison 1 · Épisode 34

mercredi 12 août 2026 • Durée 53:35

Ten hours of filming can become seconds of television. For Crystal Kung Minkoff, that meant even close friends watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills were left asking: “Who am I watching? This is not you.”Crystal opens up about becoming RHOBH’s first Asian American Housewife and what she learned about the gap between who you are, what gets filmed, and the version of you audiences ultimately see.She explains why Housewives isn’t scripted but how scheduling, selective moments, omission, and editing can still construct a powerful story around a person. Crystal also reflects on the pressure of feeling responsible for representing an entire community, while being judged through two familiar stereotypes imposed on Asian women: being either too forceful or too submissive.In this conversation, Crystal discusses:• Why nearly everyone told her not to join RHOBH• How 10-hour filming days become only minutes of television• Being portrayed as quiet and cold when she was actually frightened and frozen• Her mother encouraging her to appear “softer” on television• The impossible pressure of representing every Asian woman• Growing up wanting to look like everyone else• Breaking her lifelong habit of people-pleasing• Raising culturally confident children through food, travel, and honest conversations• Whether she would ever return to The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsFollow Crystal on Instagram: @crystalkungminkoff
