I'm still in the early planning stages of Watch With Jen: Season 7, but I'm thrilled to announce that these shows are in the works.

Recorded my first #WatchWithJen chat with the wonderful @amina.bsky.social about magazines, the fashion industry, the '90s, saying "no" to Anna Wintour, & THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. My plan is to record as many shows as I can from now through the end of Feb, & then start releasing episodes in March.

I need new people near me, I know.
