    Interview With a Catholic Model: Colette Lanzon

    Oh boy. This is a good one. We have the answers to questions you always wanted to ask a Catholic model! We interviewed the wonderful Colette Lanzon on everything from wearing lingerie, to refusing jobs, having her photo in Times Square, being a plus size role model, and her Catholic identity! Colette is also an author and disabilities advocate. It was truly so inspiring to hear how Colette's deep faith informs her all of decisions and pushes her to do what is good and beautiful.

    Confident Coverage: Swimwear Chat with Catherine from Siena and Co.

    If you want to go sustainable for your swimsuit this summer but don't know where to start, look no further than Siena and Co. Swimwear! Catherine Huss joins Veronica and Lilly again, this time to talk about her second swimwear collection, what goes into a sustainable swimsuit vs. a fast fashion one, and how she funds her collections! We love having Catherine on- she studied apparel design with an emphasis on construction techniques and social justice within the garment industry, in which she’s worked as a fit technician! She's got tons of expertise, and like many women she always had to compromise on the swimwear she’s worn, whether it be style, quality, amount of coverage or where and how it was made. She is passionate about reminding women of their worth by creating dignifying jobs for those in the fashion industry, and designing swimsuits women can feel confident in. Siena and Co. now offers sizes up to 3X! You can back the Retro Collection here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/catherinehuss/siena-and-co-swimwear-retro-collection?ref=bpe32q

    This Changes Everything: freeing our bodies from fixation

    TW: Discussion of Eating Disorders The very narrow (badum tss) skinny version of femininity from the early 90s is "back in fashion," and we need to talk about it. Veronica and Lillian are joined by Shelby Hirschman of Good Body Nutrition to discuss the trends of "body standards," why diets ain't it, how misinformation about the "obesity epidemic" perpetuates shame and keeps us from being healthy, and how to live free of fixation on how our bodies measure up to what we think they ought to.
