But as we keep building, the one thing we came back to was like our own experience of, okay, we're roommates. We're always arguing over clothes. And frankly, like it's kind of bullshit that the shopping environment hasn't developed in the last 10 years. Like how come I'm on a site and I don't know if I should buy an item or not?

that people don't realize those so one thing i'll say is every time we do an interview they always want like us to hate each other they're always asking if it's especially if we interview individually they'll always ask me what do i hate about sofia what does she hate about me it's so fucked it because they really want like the beef between the two women i think which i think is really interesting because you see in all narratives like when you have women in business they're they always want there to be some sort of catfight
