Glams, so much news to cover today. First and foremost, we get into the ins-and-outs of the most prolific TikTok account of our time: Penelope Disick's. She may be 9, but she's gunning for Steven Soderbergh's job. Next, Kirbie discusses the three products she's been using that has taken her skin from straight up decrepit to bouncy, firmer and moisturized within two days. Sara breaks down what it really means when a celeb signs on as a creative director, which deviates into a discussion of how celeb sign on as "co-founders" after a brand has already been established. And Kirbie recounts her three hours with Colson Baker, aka Machine Gun Kelly, for an Allure exclusive on his lacquer brand. Tune in to hear all of that PLUS MGK's FaceTime to Pete Davidson.
