FROM THE DESK OF THE FOUNDER
Picture it: China, 1985. Big hair, bigger shoulder pads, and Janey Lee Grace on tour with WHAM! at the exact moment George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley were the biggest pop act on the planet. Now she's watching her younger self on the big screen in WHAM! 10 Days in China, and what she sees decades into sobriety is not what she saw then. This one is a time capsule and a truth serum in the same sitting.
Speaking of things hiding in plain sight, Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear just landed on Hulu, and nobody is calling it what it actually is: a sobriety documentary wearing a drum kit. I stayed up way too late watching it so you could too. You're welcome.
And because boring is officially the new cool, Boring Boys teamed up with The Bridge to Recovery on a two-piece drop where $5 from every shirt goes straight to the Life Saver Fund. Ice cream high fives all around.
Plus: Yoga of Recovery, a memoir called One Last Hit, 26 ways being the only sober one in the room is a flex, and yes, we made you a Mixtape for our six year anniversary and we’re hosting our first sober travel experience outside of Scottsdale, AZ that includes your very own photoshoot.
Pour something cold and scroll on.

Touring With WHAM!: Janey Lee Grace Looks Back at China, Big Hair and Sobriety
Janey Lee Grace watches her younger self come alive on the big screen in WHAM! 10 Days in China and reflects on big hair, pop stardom, touring with George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, and the role alcohol was already beginning to play behind the scenes. Decades later, sobriety gives her a very different view of the young woman living inside that extraordinary moment.
