    Sex, Booze & Conspiracy Theories: The Dark History of Air Travel

    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  I personally hate traveling. I’m always doing something wrong and getting yelled at. But that’s just the price you pay to get somewhere quicker. But has it always been like this? Because I know I’ve seen photos of people in the 60’s having lobster and smoking cigarettes on the plane. Flight attendants had these incredible outfits, the flight had an *open bar*, champagne was served in crystal glasses. But when I got to researching, I realized… the old days of flying weren’t so romantic. Welcome to the Dark History of Air Travel.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey Merch?

    Life Before Worker’s Rights: This Toxic Workplace Turned Girls Radioactive!?

    Hi friends, happy Wednesdsay! Back in the 1800s, matches were a huge deal. In the days before electricity, you needed matches to light your candles, your lamps, your stove so you could cook, and even your fireplace so you wouldn’t freeze to death. Many considered matches to be *the most* important item in the home. But… ironically… the history of matches is *dark.* Making matches often led to slow, painful deaths. And workers who didn’t die had to live with brutal, face-altering injuries for the rest of their lives. And, it led to a legendary strike that changed worker’s rights forever.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey Merch?

And let’s just say… they’re keeping me up at night. These torture techniques are *creative* to say the least. So join me on this journey… again!

I was trying to pull together a last minute Halloween costume for a party, and I was like maybe a sexy vampire? And then I got to thinking… why is it that all vampires are hot? If we started with Dracula, how did we get here? How did we get to Edward Cullen and Buffy and vampires basically being the sexiest villains out there?  Well friends, I got to the bottom of it.

I don’t know about you, but the second summer is over, I’m pulling out the pumpkins, I’m lighting my candles, and I am ready to let Halloween take over. When I was going through my closet looking for Joan’s Halloween costumes, something fell from the shelf straight onto my head. It was my Ouija board. And look… I don’t know if it’s because of spooky season or what, but it spooked me.  I mean yeah, it’s *just* a board game… but it *is* communicating with spirits...allegedly. It made me wonder… why are we letting kids casually communicate with the dead?  So I got to searching. Turns out, there is a long, wild history behind the Ouija board, and some of America’s most popular board games. And a lot of their stories end in *murder.*  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. _______ Want some cool Bailey Merch?
