"And Just Like That" Season 2 Episode 1 and 2 Recap (Justice for Carrie's Wedding Dress!)

Send a text We're so f@#king back baby!! And just like that "And Just Like That" is back. We couldn't be happier.

They gave us strap-ons, unnecessary racial tensions, budding designers failing to make a simple garment for the MET gala, gay bashing, Hep C, top hats and latex corsets and of course, Tony Danza.

The Idol (Justice for the Audience!)

Send a text We've been hanging out on Patreon for a few weeks but nothing gets us back to our roots like a TV show that no one is liking but can't stop watching.
