YOU SHARE A BLOG, A BOOK AND A BUSINESS. DO YOU COLLABORATE ON ALL YOUR PROJECTS? We make all the big decisions together and always agree on EVERYTHING. WHAT’S THE TRICK TO WORKING WITH YOUR SIBLING? No tricks! It’s like working with a best friend – it’s the most fun you’ll ever have at work. HOW MUCH SHARING GOES ON WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR EPIC WARDROBES? We have one huge communal wardrobe, so there’s no Jess owns this and Stef owns that – nothing is off limits. NAME ANOTHER POWER DUO THAT INSPIRE YOU. The Olsen twins. They’ve built the most incredible fashion empire, and we’d kill for their clothes! DO YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF SISTERLY ESP? No way, that’s totally a myth [said in complete unison!]. IS…

ARCHIE ANDREWS BULLDOGS VARSITY MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT: Smashing through the ice to rescue Cheryl Blossom. MOST LIKELY TO: Avenge the shooting attack on his dad, Fred. Dark Archie will rise – you heard it here first! CHE RYL BLOSSOM FORMER RIVER VIXEN MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT: Defying her mum at Jason’s memorial and making that brilliant speech. MOST LIKELY TO: Break free from her family and control her own life, but still be the sassy queen we know and love. And of course, she will rejoin the River Vixens. BETTY COOPER RIVER VIXEN, EDITOR OF THE BLUE AND GOLD MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT: Transforming from sweet Betty to Dark Betty. MOST LIKELY TO: Have her heart broken by Jughead, but stay true to him and convince him to come back to Riverdale…

JUGHEAD Juggy’s hat is absolutely iconic from the Archie comics, and it’s so cool that Rebekka found a way to make it work. He’s got a quirky vibe and favours dark casual clothes. The Serpents leather jacket was completely different for Jughead and instantly transformed him. VERONICA The brunette beauty is more fashion forward than Betty and likes to look a million bucks. She wears black and dark jewel tones, and favours structured dresses and skirts over jeans. The cape she loves to wear gives her that bit of mystery, and the pearls are a tribute to Holly Golightly – who is her literary hero. BETTY The pretty blonde wears lots of her signature colour – pink – just like in the comics. She has that wholesome, girl-nextdoor vibe with…

ATHINA / Quirky cool Fashion Ed Nicole says: This look is about making a fun statement with pastel tones and clashing textures. Anything goes, really! Mesh tops are on point for spring and look supercute layered over bralettes. ALEXIA / Glam grunge Fashion Ed Nicole says: Channel the nineties and team distressed denim with a girlie dress for your next party. All the It-girls are rocking sheer hemlines right now (they’re sick with boots). ANGELENE / Athletic chic Fashion Ed Nicole says: This combo ticks off two major trends – sporty style and slip dressing. Toughen it up with combat boots and you’ve got a look that will literally take you anywhere.…

TAYLOR SWIFT Tay’s beef with Kanye (um, that phone call) and Katy Perry could’ve shut her career down. But she said her piece, ignored all the extra drama and kept being the boss she is. She’s mastered that whole “when they go low, you go high” thing. JUSTIN BIEBER It was pretty hard to be a Belieber around 2013-2014. We love him hard but we have to admit… he was an A-grade jerk back then. Drinkdriving charges, abandoning his pet monkey (where R U now OG Mally?), breaking Queen Selena’s heart… we could get mad all over again just thinking about it. But, hey, he apologised and has been working hard to do better. You’re forgiven and we heart you, JB. ARIANA GRANDE Remember that time someone filmed Ari saying…

that whole ‘too cool’ thing ain’t for you. You’re all about the high drama and major moments and, babe, you sure know how to make an entrance. You’re never going to be one of those go-with-the-flow kinda people and it’s time you took pride in your extraness. If you can relate to at least six of these, then you’re extra AF. Take a bow, princess, it’s your world… everyone else is just living in it. Your first question when invited anywhere (from a casual coffee to a fancy ball) is, ‘What’s the theme?’ When you’re feeling sad, you play sad music on purpose to really embrace the feeling. You line up 12 hours before a concert, buy loads of merch, have a handwritten sign and hang by the stage door…

ZAHRA KELL, 14, Snowboarder WHAT’S AN AVERAGE DAY LIKE FOR YOU? I wake up at 6am and go to the gym. After that I head up to the hill to snowboard. Some days I have trampolining or school work after that, but the days I don’t I just hang out with my friends. WHEN DID YOU START SNOWBOARDING? I started when I was four years old, when Mum and Dad took me on a family snow trip. WHEN DID YOU REALISE THIS WAS SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO DO PROFESSIONALLY? A couple of years ago I found that I was always wanting to be on the snow, and I also just really enjoyed competition days. WHO IS YOUR PRO HERO? I’ve always loved Torah Bright. She is such an inspiration and…

ALL QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED BY DR SALLY COCKBURN, GF’S RESIDENT DOCTOR. Not feeling it My boyfriend and I have started having sex. He is really enjoying it, and I pretend to, but I’m not. We’re using condoms, but it kind of hurts and rubs a lot when he thrusts, and each time I’ve been sore after (we've done it three times). What should I do? I’m worried it's not normal to feel this way. Will it always hurt like this? Sore I’m really pleased you are using protection, and you'll be pleased to know that what you describe is most likely not abnormal, and fixable! This sounds like a case of too much friction, and it’s not going to get better by pretending to enjoy sex. Sexual arousal usually triggers…

according to science, trading saliva is one way to figure out if someone is a good fit for you. It’s pretty weird when you really think about it, but there’s no denying that a good kiss is pure magic. There’s so much focus and pressure on the first kiss that it’s normal to have no idea what’s actually going on after it happens. Sometimes you can get caught up in all the anticipation and imagining what it will be like that you aren’t prepared for what comes next. We kissed… does this mean we’re dating? Not exactly. It could mean that, but until you have the chat that makes it offish, it’s just a kiss. If you want to take it to that next level, make sure they know you’re…

Future you will be forever grateful. Double Tap That rapunzel hair Remember when every celeb chopped off their hair to cute lil lobs? Nope, us neither. Coz it’s all about those long locks now.

QUESTION This is awkward, but I want to talk to my mum about periods because we learnt about them at school, and even though I don’t have mine yet, I’m worried about not being ready when it happens. Like not having the right things. My mum has never talked about it with me so I feel embarrassed to talk to her about it. Kim says: This can be awkward, especially if your mum doesn’t speak openly about periods. Some parents don’t want to make their daughters feel embarrassed so they don’t bring it up. It might be a nice surprise for your mum if you approach her to discuss it. Start the conversation by letting her know your school gave a talk about periods and you have some questions. Let her…

ALL QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED BY DR MICHAEL CARR-GREGG, GF’S ADOLESCENT PSYCHOLOGIST Seen too much My dad has been watching porn videos and pictures. I know this because it is in his phone's Google history. My mum doesn't know. I don't feel like telling anyone and I don't know what to do. Help! Yikes We are impressed, you have shown great courage to write to GF. Adults occasionally do things in private that would surprise or shock young people. Assuming this is not child pornography (which is illegal), you have three choices. First, go with your first instinct and do nothing. Second, find a quiet moment and tell him exactly what you found and how it’s left you feeling. Third, if this continues to worry you, you don’t have to deal…

my hips are too big”, “I wish I had a flat stomach”, “I just don’t feel confident with my body right now”… sound familiar? Like something you and your friends say all the time? What if we told you these quotes were from guys? Regular guys like the ones you go to school with. You might think only girls get fixated on one part of their body or aren’t comfortable in their own skin, but that’s totally not true! We spoke to five guys who prove that the opposite sex isn’t so different after all… Scrappy “I’ve been self-conscious about being scrawny since I was a kid and my uncle gave me the nickname ‘Scrappy’ after the character from Scooby-Doo. I’ve always been tall and skinny, and no matter what…

RIDE STYLIST, WALT DISNEY THEME PARKS What if your job was to create the sick rides at Disneyland? If you literally got to dream up roller-coasters themed to your favourite Disney films? Well that’s exactly what Stef Harbuck gets to do. “My job is an ‘Imagineer’ or producer for Walt Disney Imagineering. I help bring theme park attractions and experiences to life. I studied at college in the areas of interactive design and production, computer animation production, theatre production, studio art, art history and computer science. Walt Disney Imagineering is one of the few places where I can use all of those things! Every day is different – depending on the phase of the project, a typical day might be working with writers, artists, technical directors, engineers, editors and designers, talking…

hands up if you totally wished you were Ariel when you were a little girl? OK, keep your hand up if you still wish you were a mermaid, like, right now. Yasss! Read on, goddess. With Bella Thorne, Dove Cameron, Sophie Turner and more woke beauty babes rocking coloured locks lately, we feel ~entitled~ to work an extra ’do too. And it’s never been easier to get lit af hair with low-commitment prods hitting the shelves – like one-day, spray-in colours a d glitter gels that wash right out. No need to wait for Halloween, this weekend is your time to shine! And the best part? You can take it in turns switching up your colour and style with your girl gang. Blue today, pink tomorrow, and sparkly parts for…

she may have burst onto the scene with partypop anthems ‘Fancy’ (with Iggy Azaela) and ‘I Love it’ (with Icona Pop), but don’t mistake Charli XCX for your average cookie-cutter pop princess, coz this Brit babe is so much more. Following the goth-pop stylings of albums True Romance and Sucker, Charli rocked the music world earlier this year when she dropped a totally different sound in Number 1 Angel – a rebellious mixtape that proved she can nail any genre she takes on Now, in what’s set to be the girl gang tour of 2017, the 24-year-old will join Sia’s Nostalgic For The Present line-up alongside MØ and Amy Shark, which will see the squad play two major shows in Oz. And what a straightfire gig that’s gonna be –…

formal is just around the corner, and you may have everything meticulously planned down to the exact minute you will apply your false lashes… but one detail that is usually left in the hands of boys is who your date is. Gals, you know who you want to go with. You’ve known for months. So instead of leaving it in the disorganised hands of your crush, it’s time for you to turn up the confidence and ask him to formal. Trust us, he’s going to love the fact that you were a confident queen, and you’re going to feel like an absolute BOSS for doing it! It’s defs tricky putting yourself out there and admitting that you have the #feels for somebody, but we’re here to help fam (coz we’ve…

I'm just out here trying to make sure Dylan and I never lose our joint Wikipedia page. It was a sad day when I became too large for the dog door I only started acting again so you guys wouldn't feel like you wasted money on the posters of me at 12. We spend a lot of time thinking about sloppy joes and almost none thinking about tidy jims. "I'm screaming" is the pumpkin spice latte of tweets. The M in my name stands for Mcdonalds, please stop asking Can you still wish on eyelashes you find in your food?…

TAMARA FAVE: Betty Cooper, because under her butter-wouldn’t-melt exterior, she’s kind of a badass – she’s brave, knows what she wants and she’ll stop at nothing to get to the truth. WANTS: More backstory revealed around the parents of Riverdale. We all know *something* went down in their day, so what was it?! BIANCA FAVE: Archie Andrews, because look at his face. WANTS: To see a bit more from his character development this season, and I think with his dad being shot we’re gonna get ~Dark Archie~. MATT FAVE: Jughead Jones, because not only is he a babe, he’s also a writer so we have that in common! WANTS: To see more of the history between the Blossom and Cooper families. Now that we know they’re related, I’d love to…

did you know we’re the only English-speaking democracy that doesn’t allow same-sex couples to get married? Yep, it’s true! In fact, 23 countries across the world have passed a marriage equality bill – but Australia? No. And the current government doesn’t really seem to be doing anything constructive to make it happen. Got a zillion questions? Yep, so do we… Why is this issue taking so damn long to sort? The current government’s stance on the matter is to allow the public to cast their vote and the MPs could then choose to go with the results or ignore them, a policy known as a plebiscite. But unfortunately, the notion didn’t pass the Senate in 2016, bringing everything to a screeching halt. What’s our PM’s stance on this sitch? Malcolm…

Lunch goals I don’t really have a lunch routine. I frequently snack during the day instead. Snack style? Fruits, smoked salmon on crackers, avocado on a piece of toast. 9 to 5 soundtrack I love music. It depends on my mood, so it varies from ballads to R&B to classical!
