What We Take For Granted

This title sounds deep and meaningful but mostly Rosemary's lamenting the hair she had before she got her shag and Beatrice is talking about how she can't navigate without her phone (and apparently can't even take down directions).

What's Our Childhood Trauma?

Trigger warning for honestly nothing very traumatic at all. We discuss the moments and through-lines in our childhood that simply have to have caused lasting damage; we discuss the elephant's foot piano stool Rosemary sat on while she learned to play James Blunt's entire first album; and Beatrice attempts to tally up the number of times she's moved house thus far.

Who Would Sue Hermès for the Right to Buy a Birkin?!

We're talking about the Hermès Birkin lawsuit, Kim K's $40k bag on the ground at a Lakers game, the Alexander Wang boots Beatrice just had to have (and then Rosemary had to copy and, er, also have), and H&M and the stranglehold its sequined goods seem to have on Beatrice every. Single. Season. Plus! Who, exactly, is allowed to buy a Rolex? Is taking Hermès to court the kind of classless action that shows you don't deserve a Birkin to begin with? And why don't Hermès employees earn commission...

What Are YOUR Makeup Staples?!

Desert Island Discs (Beatrice's Version)

We Are Who We Are

Somehow a conversation about gratitude journalling has devolved into a reading of Rosemary's teenage diary, a deep dive into why, exactly, Nicky Byrne blocked her on Twitter and a trip down memory lane to the night Beatrice got egged on her way to Whelan's.
