Left your filofax on the train? Fancy yourself as the next Jerry Hall? Had a holiday fling with Italian waiter?
This week we’re going back to the power ballad era and coming with us is a very special guest host. Former Honey editor Jo Fairley is back in the studio and together we’re going to be diving into an issue she edited! If you’ve ever wondered how exactly they came up with the idea to quiz men on menstruation, or where 80s fashion editors hung out at the weekend, Jo is here to reveal all.
Plus! We find out how to piss off Karl Lagerfeld, discuss the unhinged things people do for lust, and get a reality check on our modelling aspirations.
