The Needle & The Mouse

Dan and Lauren are back to talk more NYC vs. LA b.s., the state of Fashion Weeks, and about Dan's recent column about Glossier's now-shelved plans for a social network.

Lauren and Dan are back! This week: Dan's big Consumer Trends report (newconsumer.com/trends), talking about "online" vs. "offline" self-identity, grocery delivery, are gyms screwed?, the missing gift guide to gift guides, and learning about class from Home Alone.

Dan and Lauren are back in LA after an extended shopping and outdoor-dining trip to NYC, including quality time (?) in Midtown (!). Best enjoyed with a gelato-the-size-of-your-face from Lodi and anything from CHCM.
