Gen X holds a quarter of household wealth and they're chasing Gen Z with Katseye collabs. So we played a round of brand mashups to fix this ourselves: Salt &amp; Peppa for perimenopause telehealth, Caboodles x Tumi, Keds x Golden Goose, Lisa Frank x Le Creuset (instant bestseller) and Zima x High Noon (hard pass).</p><p><br></p><p>Also this week: Ina Garten's new podcast and the fake Martha rivalry (stop pitting women against women), a Gossip Girl from a woman who was passed over for a 33-year-old after 11 years at her company, Blandine L'Hirondel breaking records on the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, and a Say the Thing that got real — on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 we both shared where we were that morning.</p><p><br></p><p>Also out this week: Karina Zuniga. A military wife who fought the VA when they told her husband to man up.
