Days of our Lives TWIST: EJ Embraces His Dark Side – Will Cat Become His Ruthless Partner?
Days of Our Lives reveals EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) inherits the family patriarch position when he slides Stefano DiMera‘s (Joseph Mascolo) Phoenix ring onto his finger. We could see a big twist where EJ goes dark and claims his very own “Queen of the Night,” who may be Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord).
EJ has not been doing well lately. He has lost Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman). And now his father, Stefano, is confirmed dead. This news might push EJ to an extremely dark place. Let’s dive in and talk about Cat and EJ’s possible future.
EJ DiMera in a Bad Place on Days of Our Lives
The transition from late 2025 into early 2026 has been difficult for EJ, largely due to his own actions and decisions. He is fresh off being kidnapped by Peter Blake (Jason Brooks), who was apparently conspiring with Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel), even though Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) is taking the fall for it.
Furthermore, Johnny has rejected his father again. And Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is feuding with EJ. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) has been sloppy, putting the finances for the secret lab at risk with her scheme involving DVL. While EJ is eager to resurrect the “woman in the tube,” Gwen’s interference is a growing problem.
To make matters worse, EJ is still reeling from the confirmation that the bones in the crypt were indeed Stefano’s remains. Neither Belle nor Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) will give EJ a second chance. And his daughter, Sydney DiMera (Avery and Cade Seger), is far away in Italy.
EJ DiMera Inherits the Iconic Phoenix Ring and Stefano’s Dark Legacy on DOOL
We are about to see an EJ with nothing left to lose, returning to his villainous roots. He may drag Cat along with him, whether she is a willing participant or not. This shift begins this week as EJ, Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn), Theo, and Kristen head back to the crypt to inter Stefano’s ashes and put him to rest once and for all.
This is a stressful moment for the family, as it marks the first time EJ and Tony have been back to the crypt since Peter tried to kill them all with sarin gas. Each of Stefano’s offspring and grandchildren is mourning in their own way, but EJ is particularly rocked by a revelation from Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton).
Currently, the position of head of the DiMera family is up for grabs. Although EJ is not the oldest, Tony has made it clear he wants nothing to do with DiMera Enterprises. After reclaiming the company from the Kiriakises, Tony left town with his beloved Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley), leaving the business in Theo’s hands.
Johnny is currently serving as interim CEO while Theo recovers from a head injury inflicted by Peter. While EJ and Rita convinced Johnny to step in, that arrangement is ending soon. Johnny promised his wife, Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), that he would only help until Theo recovered before returning to work at Titan.
Dr. Wilhelm Rolf Anoints EJ as the New Patriarch of the DiMera Family on Days of our Lives
EJ has also been fighting with Kristen, who blames him for the incident where Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) shot him, leading to the child being sent to Bayview. When Dr. Rolf approaches EJ after they inter Stefano’s remains, EJ is at his lowest point.
After the others leave, Rolf reveals that Stefano assigned him one last task: to personally hand the iconic Phoenix ring to EJ. This gesture confirms that Stefano has anointed EJ as his heir and the new head of the family. This message could be the sign EJ needs to fully embrace his dark side once again.
Days of Our Lives spoilers indicate that Gwen notices a shift in EJ immediately after he slides the ring onto his finger. This raises the question: where does Cat Greene fit into his new world order? Cat was previously falling for Chad. however, to maintain custody of his children, Chad had to grant Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) and Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) summer visitation rights.
To appease Thomas DiMera (Christopher Cary), Chad included a “no Cat” clause in their legal custody arrangement. After a talk with Tony, Chad decides to move Thomas and Charlotte DiMera (Olivia & Oakley Rondou) to Arizona for a while.
A New Obsession: EJ DiMera and Cat Greene’s Valentine’s Day Date on Days of our Lives
With Chad out of the picture, EJ asks Cat out to dinner just as Valentine’s Day arrives in Salem. EJ and Cat previously shared a close moment, though it occurred after she drugged him to cover up her suspicious actions.
Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) caught them together and made it clear she does not want Cat near her “baby boy.” Susan has serious reservations and believes Cat is up to something. Despite these warnings, EJ and Cat are set to share a kiss soon, which could signal the start of a new obsession for EJ.
EJ has a history of intense fixations. When he was fixated on Sami, he blackmailed her into his bed to save Lucas Horton’s (Bryan Dattilo) life—an event that serves as Johnny’s origin story. He even kidnapped his own daughter, Sydney, to torment Sami.
When he moved his obsession to Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker), his behavior remained manipulative. He was complicit in the secrets surrounding baby Jude, lying to Nicole about the baby’s paternity to keep her away from Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan). Much like Stefano, EJ gets fixated on one woman after another, doing terrible things to keep them in his life at any cost.
EJ & Cat the New Stefano & Marlena on DOOL?
Stefano’s longest-lasting obsession was making Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) his “Queen of the Night.” Now that EJ is stepping into his father’s shoes, will a new obsession follow? Cat might be the one EJ decides should be his own Queen of the Night. What he doesn’t know is that Cat is working for the ISA as part of a multi-agency investigation. She is acting as his assistant as part of a plot with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering). Cat was snooping around the DiMera mansion when she drugged EJ. And she even tried to break into the secret lab by tricking her brother, Mark Greene (Jonah Robinson).
When EJ asks Cat to dinner, he has no idea she is targeting him—and she may not realize he is about to target her. With Chad leaving town, Cat may be vulnerable, leading to a spark and an upcoming kiss. While the writers previously dropped the “Queen of the Night” storyline by giving Marlena Lyme disease, this concept could see a revival with EJ.
Cat may be playing with fire. If EJ discovers her betrayal, he might feel justified in bending her to his will, much like Stefano did with Marlena. They already share a bond from when she read Wuthering Heights to him in Italy. EJ could even use that book as a mind-control tool, similar to Stefano’s use of Arabian Nights. Even if he finds out she is betraying him, it may only amplify his fixation. It will be interesting to see if Cat ends up in over her head, becoming the new Queen of the Night.

The best part about dystopian sci-fi flicks from the 80s is living past the date where everything should have already collapsed and wondering how far off we are from actually experiencing what’s depicted. 1988’s Cherry 2000, set in the year 2017, is one of those films, and it’s an interesting watch because it explores themes that are relevant today, even though society hasn’t quite caught up with its fiction. We’re getting close, though. Technology has replaced intimacy, and our relationships with our devices in the present day result in the kind of isolation you see whenever you look up in public and watch people hanging out while simultaneously talking to the people they’d rather be with on their phones.
What hasn’t happened yet, but probably will sooner or later, is the common use of sex robots seen in Cherry 2000. Intimacy with a human counterpart is forbidden, but if you want to bump uglies with a clanker that looks like a Stepford Wife, you’re free to go to town so long as it’s in the privacy of your own home.
A Flood Of Endorphins And Detergent
The titular robot in Cherry 2000 (portrayed by Pamela Gidley) is the perfect partner for Sam Treadwell (David Andrews). She cooks him dinner and listens to him talk about his day. She’s also really into pouncing on her flesh partner at the worst possible moment, like when the dishwasher is overflowing. This sudsy, floor-bound rendezvous causes her to short-circuit, devastating Sam.
Though Sam is able to salvage Cherry’s memories, her body is kaput, meaning he has to venture out to the dangerous Zone 7. Legend has it that Zone 7 has a gynoid warehouse housing every make and model you could ever dream of, programmed to be your lifelong partner. Desperate to seek out a viable and identical replacement for Cherry, Sam hires a tracker named Edith Johnson (Melanie Griffith), who clearly longs for the old days. She drives a vintage, modified Mustang and has no qualms telling Sam he should just find a human partner instead of getting down and dirty with a robot.
With the help of the legendary yet elusive tracker Six-Fingered Jake (Ben Johnson), Sam and Edith breach the compound, but form a romantic bond along the way during their misadventures. Edith pines for Sam, who pines for the idea of a woman designed specifically for him, resulting in exactly the kind of sexual tension you’d expect. Sam becomes hot and bothered watching Edith competently navigate the wasteland and starts to wonder if this is what’s been missing from his life all along.
A Low-Budget Adventure Through The Wasteland
Cherry 2000, despite its meager $10 million budget, has surprisingly solid production values. Though it’s obvious Cherry is an actress during the scenes where she’s walking, talking, and interacting with her surroundings, the Zone 7 sequences are effective. Think of the clothing carousel you see at the dry cleaners and apply that same principle to a bunch of deactivated robot babes waiting to be charged up so they can pounce on their new owner as soon as they run their software updates.
Edith is a total badass, whether she’s flooring it in her Mustang or piloting a small plane. Actually, Melanie Griffith steals every single scene she’s in because the looks of disgust and bewilderment on her face while dealing with Sam are palpable. Here we have an end-of-days babe wearing flattering wasteland garb and never losing control of the situation. And how is she using her talent? Helping some schmuck named Sam track down a new sex robot that resembles the only “person” he’s ever loved: his old sex robot.
Cherry 2000 is schlocky and campy, but its charm comes from playing everything completely straight. Its premise is ridiculous but oddly prescient. Our protagonist finds companionship by isolating himself, when the solution to all of his problems is standing right in front of him, rocking a machine gun and looking for a real relationship. It just takes a while for Sam to see this, because he’d rather be alone with his device.
As of this writing, Cherry 2000 is streaming on Tubi.

Do your jeans need an upgrade? When spring begins, you want to stay stylish without sacrificing comfort — but long, baggier winter denim just doesn’t hit the mark.

15. Fun Flares: This cropped J.Crew denim features a stretchy silhouette that enhances your natural figure. Its kickout flared hems are slimming and flattering, while patch pockets add a whimsically bohemian accent.
16. Stylish Studs: For a subtle edge, slip on cropped jeans with metal stud accents. This double-layered style features small, rounded studs on its hems, complete with fraying for a fashion-forward finish.
17. Chic Shades: These two-tone cropped jeans are instantly elevated with two-toned paneling in charcoal and black shades. The pair’s dark colors are utterly versatile, while its contrasting sides are effortlessly cool and fashion-forward.

Lately, we’ve been gravitating toward bolder denim styles — brighter washes, fun patterns, and statement‑making cuts that bring creativity and character back into everyday dressing. . . without veering into cheesy territory, of course.

If there’s one thing that Saturday Night Live knows how to do, it’s make an iconic moment. For over 50 years, the NBC comedy institution has welcomed hundreds of actors, comedians, and musicians to take the Studio 8H stage as hosts, musical guests, or fun cameos. Just this season, we’ve already seen Heated Rivalry breakout Connor Storrie make his hosting debut, Cher perform as a musical guest, and Oscar nominee Teyana Taylor take the stage. But the most recent episode, hosted by Ryan Gosling, was historic because the musical guest, Gorillaz, wasn’t a new act using the platform to catapult itself into viewers’ playlists. They’re actually an iconic band that finally made their debut. The twist? They are the first virtual band to ever headline SNL.
Gorillaz Surprised Everyone With Their Song Choices on ‘SNL’
Leading up to Gosling’s fourth time hosting the sketch comedy series, the virtual band had been featured in the typical promos, plus one featuring Gosling and their hit, “Clint Eastwood.” The promo saw Gosling hilariously believe he was joining the Five-Timers Club, only to be proven incorrect by Mikey Day. Long-time fans of the band might have believed that it would be the sole appearance of their massive hit, but Gorillaz surprised all by using their opening slot to play “Clint Eastwood,” a song they released in 2001. The inclusion of the 25-year-old song was meant to thank the supporters who had been by their side since day one.
‘Saturday Night Live UK’ Could Be The 1 Exact Thing That British Comedy Has Been Missing
Will this bold move pay off, or will it be met with the cold shoulder?
The high-concept band, which has been around since 1998, was originally created by Jamie Hewlett and Blur frontman Damon Albarn. But for the longest time, we only knew them by their virtual counterparts, 2-D, Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs, and Noodle. Every album cover, every music video, everything we knew about Gorillaz was through those characters, and that’s what made them unique. Now that the virtual and non-virtual members are united as one, it was the perfect time for Gorillaz to remind the world why they are one of the most musically unique bands in history. Promoting their new album, The Mountain, the band performed “The Moon Cave” in the second song slot. With the hype largely surrounding the virtual band’s presence, history was also made for Albarn, as it was his SNL debut. Shockingly, Blur, the second biggest ’90s Britpop band behind Oasis, never appeared as musical guests on the series.
‘Saturday Night Live’ Has Featured Many Monumental Musical Moments
During the 50 years SNL has been on the air, it’s played host to many monumental musical moments. Perhaps you watched when Sinéad O’Connor tore up a photo of the Pope in 1992. Maybe it was back in 1977, when Elvis Costello abruptly switched songs into their forbidden track, leading to a long-term ban. Then there was the scandal in 2004 when Ashlee Simpson was caught lip-syncing.
Gorillaz’s appearance doesn’t come with controversy, but it joins the lineup of historic moments that will always be remembered. Just as Nirvana brought grunge to a mainstream audience and Funk 4 + 1 provided the first-ever hip-hop performance, the cultural significance of music on SNL continues to shape what we listen to.
Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays at 11:30pm EST on NBC. All episodes are available to stream on Peacock.

Thanks to free, ad-supported streamer Pluto TV, you can now watch every episode of The X-Files on demand without digging into your paltry FBI agent salary. But instead of watching it from your house, apartment, or basement office, Pluto is giving you the chance to watch the show like never before. Collider has an exclusive first look at the streamer’s The Fan Is Out There contest, which will send one lucky winner and their plus-one to stream every episode of the show in a top-secret undisclosed location.
Here’s your assignment: go to this top-secret URL and enter the contest; it will be open from March 10th at 11:00 a.m. ET until March 20 at 11:59 p.m ET. If you win, you and a handpicked investigative partner will be whisked away to a classified location in the Joshua Tree desert, a hotbed of paranormal activity. Once there, you will have nine days to binge all 218 episodes of The X-Files in an off-grid location even the Lone Gunmen would approve of. You’ll be provided with a living case board to track the show’s conspiracies; daily on-camera debriefing confessionals for social documentation; X-Files-themed snacks, including plenty of Mulder-approved black coffee and sunflower seeds; and much, much more. See the website for full terms and conditions.
What Is ‘The X-Files’ About?
Created by Chris Carter, The X-Files centered around FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). Scully, a skeptical medical doctor, was assigned to work with Mulder, whose belief in paranormal phenomena (inspired by the apparent alien abduction of his sister, Samantha, when they were children) had made him a laughingstock at the agency. Together, they travel across the country, seeking out the unexplained cases of murder, monsters, and mutants that Mulder dubbed the “X-Files,” even as Mulder starts to piece together a massive alien conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of the government. Debuting on Fox in 1993, the show became an immediate smash hit; it ran for nine seasons, spawned two theatrical films, and then two abbreviated revival seasons…and it’s about to come back, courtesy of Sinners director Ryan Coogler.
Earlier this year, Pluto TV launched a dedicated channel for The X-Files, marking the first time the show had become available on a FAST streaming service. Says Pluto TV executive Will Gurman, “This cult classic pioneered binge-worthy, supernatural storytelling and built one of TV’s most passionate fan communities. With the entire series always available and totally free, it’s a show you can disappear into for days. This is exactly the kind of deep library comfort viewing Pluto TV was built for.”
You can enter Pluto TV’s The Fan Is Out There X-Files contest from March 10th at 11:00 a.m. ET until March 20 at 11:59 p.m ET. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates…and trust no one.

Jack White is speaking out after his recent comments about Taylor Swift‘s lyrics and songwriting sparked online backlash. Social media users interpreted his words as a dig against the pop star, but White clarified that he was only describing his own songwriting preferences and not criticizing Swift’s work.

Jack White Doesn’t Like Writing Autobiographical Lyrics
In an interview with The Guardian on March 8, White was asked about his songs and whether they are autobiographical in nature.
The former White Stripes member said in response that he doesn’t like doing that too much, adding, “Now it’s become very popular in the Taylor Swift way of pop singers writing about all of their publicly aired break-ups, which I don’t find interesting at all.”
He went on to explain that he finds writing about himself “boring” and doesn’t want to relive a “painful” moment in his life every time he hears a song tied to a particular moment in his life.
“I’m not going to put this important, painful thing that I went through out there for some idiot on the internet to stomp all over,” he added.

Online Users’ Reactions To The Musician’s Comments
The backlash against White was almost immediate. Swifties defended their idol, and others disagreed with the musician’s opinion.
“Aren’t half the songs on the early White Stripes albums about his break-up with Meg?” one wrote, referring to Meg White, his former bandmate and ex-wife. The couple divorced in 2000, even before the White Stripes gained major recognition.
“Based on his career trajectory, most people don’t find his songwriting interesting at all,” one added.
Another user wrote, “Everyone does this. The only difference about Swift is that everyone cares more about who’s behind the song cause she’s big. But every love and breakup song is about someone. Everyone writes about what they’ve gone through!”

Jack White Clarified His Comments
White took to social media to respond to the reaction to his comments about Swift’s songwriting. In a post that has since been deleted, per NME, the singer said that he’s only going to leave the post up for a day before he puts the issue to rest.
White said he didn’t say Swift’s music was boring. He was only discussing how he preferred to write music.
“What I was trying to sayi n an interview I did about poetry and lyric writing, was that I don’t find it interesting at all for ME to write about MYSELF in my own lyric writing and poetry because I think that it could be repetitive for ME to always write about and it could be uninteresting for people who listen to my music to delve into…”

He acknowledged that Swift and others have achieved “tremendous success” writing in their own styles, and he doesn’t have anything against that. Additionally, he believes songwriters should use the process that works best for them.

The Singer Called Out The Media For Clickbaiting
In addition to addressing the backlash, White also criticized publications, journalists, and editors for producing clickbait content. That, he explains, is the reason why he’s less interested in doing interviews.
“In the age of this massive demand for clickbait and content, any scrape of anything interesting or off the beaten path that can be turned into drama is swamped over and spit out as bait,” he wrote.
According to White, artists are forced to give “safe” answers so as not to have their words twisted and turned into online fodder.
Jack White Released A Book Of Lyrics And Poetry
White said he was a bit apprehensive about putting the collection out there, as he said he may seem pretentious. However, he said it would be “an honor” for him to have anyone read something that he has written.
Jennifer Lopez is opening up about how she picked herself back up after going through her third divorce.
Speaking onstage recently at her Up All Night residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Lopez, 56, who ended her 10-year marriage to singer Marc Anthony in 2014, shared the advice that helped her get through the difficult period.
After quipping that getting divorced for a third time was “when I started getting really good at it,” the multi-hyphenate turned more serious for a moment.
“It was actually a really tough time. I was really about to give up on it all. I was a single mom with two 3-year-old twins,” she said recently, per footage posted on social media. “I called up one of my mentors. Her name was [motivational speaker and author] Louise Hay, [and] she passed away. She said to me, ‘Jennifer, you’re a dancer, right?’ I said, ‘Yes, I am.’ She said, ‘When you’re learning a dance and you get the steps wrong, what do you do?’ I said, ‘I just keep going till I get the steps right.’ She said, ‘That’s right, Jennifer. Always keep dancing.’”
“I wish the same for each and every one of you, that no matter what life throws at you, you dance and you dance and you dance, again and again and again,” Lopez said, segueing into her hit song “Dance Again” as the audience cheered.
Lopez and Anthony, 57, share twins Max and Emme, who turned 18 in February.
The singer marked the occasion with a sweet Instagram tribute to her children last month, sharing photos and home videos of Max and Emme.
“You were born in the middle of the night, in the midst of the biggest, most beautiful snowstorm NY had seen in years!!” Lopez wrote. “I remember riding in the car and looking out the window, where everything was twinkling and covered in white that night, as I held you both in my belly for the last few moments before I gave birth to you.”
Jennifer Lopez recently shared a touching tribute to her “wonder twins” on their 18th birthday, emphasizing their unbreakable bond: “It has always been the three of us,” the singer continued. “We have been on this journey together.” And in light of the milestone, Max and Emme’s journey to adulthood with their famous parents (dad is […]
“It was as if God was making sure you would enter a world full of pure magic!! In my heart, I knew that’s how your life would always be!!” she continued.
“When I would hold you as infants, I honestly felt as if I were holding two angels sent straight from heaven above,” Lopez added. “My life was changed forever. I cannot believe you are now adults … 18 years old! You are both so kind-hearted, generous, and loving.”
“How lucky the world was on this day 18 years ago when God decided to send you here with all of your talents and spirit and heart to make this world a better place, because that is what you do for me and anyone who is lucky enough to know you both every day,” Lopez wrote. “‘I love you’ could never encapsulate the depth of feeling, affection, and care that I have for you, my coconuts. It has always been the three of us!”

Spring is one of the most awkward seasons to dress for — especially when you live in New York City like me. Days start frigid and jump about 20 degrees by mid-afternoon. Not to mention some days are met with a surprise rain shower that you didn’t plan for, and before you know it, you’re drenched in a cute spring dress. How do you dress for such wishy-washy weather? Well, after living in New York City for over a decade, I’ve built the ultimate capsule wardrobe for every type of spring day.
And here’s the thing: You don’t have to spend hundreds to build your spring capsule wardrobe, either. All it takes is one floral blouse to instantly elevate jeans, a tailored-looking jacket for those sunny but chilly afternoons, and solid sneakers to support the extra time you’ll spend walking around your neighborhood. You’ll look like an effortless springtime city slicker with my recommendations below!
Spring Wardrobe Must-Haves, According to a NYC Shopping Writer
1. My Favorite: A timeless trench coat is my most-worn article of clothing each spring, all thanks to its versatility and sleek, elevated aura.
2. Crisp and Clean: A perfectly tailored white button-down can be worn any time, anywhere. Plus, it’s easily layerable during those random springtime cold spells.
3. Chill Buster: For those in between weather days, a thin sweater keeps me comfortable during the chillier mornings and warm afternoons. I adore the off-center buttons on this one for some added dimension.
4. Cute and Casual: When the temperature hits 65 degrees, every NYC girl breaks out a pretty midi dress, like this gingham-printed one with dainty puff sleeves. It’s a compliment magnet!
5. Chic Stompers: Once I put my winter boots away, the first footwear I break out are my trusty penny loafers. A durable upper and thick block heel make them supportive for long walks around the city, yet they don’t skimp on style.
It’s only a matter of time until the cold temperatures and snow is gone for good, which means you better have spring-ready pieces on standby for that first warm day. Luckily, Amazon is filled with tops, dresses, bottoms, shoes and bags that are ideal for the transitional weather and new season. The must-shop pieces we […]
6. Bright Blouse: I tend to wear more color once spring rolls around, so I always keep a vibrant floral blouse in my closet. The tie-neck design adds visual interest without feeling fussy.
7. The Sporty Look: A relatively new addition to my capsule spring wardrobe, I now can’t live without a cool and casual rugby shirt for relaxed days out and about.
8. Forever Denim: My light wash jeans get their shining moment each spring. I find that relaxed denim flatters every body type, too, so go ahead, grab a few different washes!
9. Layering Must-Have: A plain T-shirt might seem basic, but it’s a closet cornerstone — especially when it’s made from 100% organic cotton, like this Quince pick. Wear it on its own with jeans or layer it under a light sweater or jacket.
10. Total Classic: Every outfit I own can be completed with a classic denim jacket. It’s the true underdog of spring wardrobes!
11. Everyday Kicks: Spring means more time walking around the city, which requires some fashionable walking shoes, like these colorblock white sneakers.
12. Slip Right In: As soon as the snow melts, I look forward to wearing my dainty ballet flats. These studded ones are still pretty casual, and I often wear them with jeans.
13. Feminine and Fresh: Spring is the ideal time to wear a skirt in NYC. You’ll see dozens of girls wearing full bubble skirts while brunching outside.
Spring is only just beginning to warm up, but that’s not stopping Abercrombie & Fitch from setting the tone for the season ahead. The retailer just dropped its early spring preview, which leans into light materials, breezy silhouettes and soft, versatile staples that are as fresh as they are effortless. The pieces are also super […]
