Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan: The queens of mean go teen
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you haven't heard of Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan then you're obviously missing out on one of the greatest joys of the internet.
Their blog Gofugyourself.com is a smart, snarky site devoted to deconstructing the red-carpet fashion fails of Celebville, with a side helping of whimsy via their imaginary intern George Clooney, and a sprinkling of madness courtesy of their obsession with Tilda Swinton.
But Cocks and Morgan are making a name for themselves offline, too, thanks to their forays into teen fiction. Last year they published Spoiled, a Gossip Girl-esque tale of a rock star's daughter (Brooke) and her girl-next-door half-sister (Molly). I loved it. Its sequel, Messy, hit book shops this week and this time Brooke is keen to make a name for herself as a Hollywood blogger. I might be about 20 years older than the books' target market, but I can't wait for my Amazon delivery.
