    Fools and Little Children

    Fools and Little Children

    All dogs are puppies and all cats are kittens. You have to sit with dignity to meditate. The question of the retinol bump and when to judge the day. Who cares if years lie fallow? Kate calls a club a spade, and Jacqueline offers the idiot take of an outsider. Could they put on a magic show to save their lives? Maybe it’s time for Movie POOG… That’s Greg, for ya! 

    Brands mentioned: Dieux Skin, Lyma, Celsius, The Ludlow Hotel, Pat McGrath, Armani

    Warm in the Hand

    Warm in the Hand

    One week you’re gorgeous…the next week? You’re hideous. Waking up to pee and Shark Tank raw to the dome. ADD 2.0 was heard in full on the road. Blinds shut, curtains closed, not even looking at the view. Jacqueline believed the hours — of course she did! Kate had a day of huge euphoria and has never been more dehydrated. $83 dresses and the detail of 6:30 at night are discussed. Theatre doesn’t pay, and Jacqueline shows off a bruise from escaping an escalator. The beautiful sign of death and dumping it all out onto the floor. A strange moment when Kate drives by Jacqueline’s house…but doesn’t go in. What have we lost to goofy graphics? Top to bottom, Kate had taken the note.

    Discussed: Saie Beauty, Burrow, Hatch, PAIGE Denim and Free People Movement.

    These Women and Their Ping Pongs

    These Women and Their Ping Pongs

    The body just wants yesterday, again. A stranger's office. Kate became the awareness. Jacqueline remembers the crystal shops. To ask, will that ever be me again? Holding the jade egg. Sensing what aisle to turn down. Imagine knowing dawn & yearning for a pendant. You know what it's not? A fucking migraine. The new guy is not the son. Are we fighting wildly, violently, and against our own best interest?

    REMIX: The Road to GOYK

    REMIX: The Road to GOYK

    Look, folks. Kate’s in the midst of the final week of her sold out KATE run at the Pasadena Playhouse. Jacqueline’s doing rabid press for the Get on Your Knees premiere. So a remix is on offer. The theme is the road to GOYK, featuring Poog clips from the show’s touring days, the countdown to the taping aka the “wedding” and Jacqueline and Kate's reflections from the stage. Get pumped and then go watch Get on Your Knees on @netflixisajoke. Can Hag nation send the special to number 1?

Some of these reviewers

Love my hags

Thank god they’re back.

annoyed at yall ,

sad mail

someone needs to remind the hags they are going to get old and die . i miss the organ chatter, the symbolism, the spirituality. it’s all over shadowed by the PRODUCTS and MAIL. i also have a job where i get free stuff in the mail , you think that’s what’s keeping my world spinning ??? NO! reckoning with my own demise on the other hand…. keeping my hope but fearing the worse xx

Edit:
Extremely confused by the Starbucks reference in the most recent episode AND the Starbucks reference at the live SF show. do the hags support genocide ????
