Hi! We had so much to chat about this week so we had to do a mid-week record. Yay!First up, Joe Jonas, Instagram influencer, is the star of a strange injectables campaign. We discuss why the boy-band member would've done this, the impact of men being dragged into modern beauty ideals and the funny nature of the ad.
