    6x23 Shades of Vanessa

    6x23 Shades of Vanessa

    Hi y'all.
    Firstly, this episode is dedicated to the memory of our beloved Sundance.  Thrilled that she figures so prominently in this taping.
    Secondly, this is the last planned episode of this podcast.  In 2016 we were just two former roommates living in different states and wanting a project to take on together. You stuck in there with us through countless issues as we taught ourselves how to do this on our own.  Let's not lie, it was all Leslie teaching herself and that attempting to pass that on to Erin. (You get two guesses as to who is writing this!)  This podcast eventually moved to a bi-coastal affair and you hung in there with us through so many life changes and years.  We are astounded you tuned in to hear us carry on about everything...really to entertain ourselves. Soap boxes and inside jokes and all.  From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.  You made this even more fun than we every could have imagined.  
    As we come to the close of this project we ask you all to please take care of yourselves and each other.  Just like Julia, Mary Jo, Charlene, Suzanne, Carlene, Anthony and Bernice would.  Okay...maybe not Bernice.
    Thank you for listening. Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye.

    Bette Davis is incredible in All About Eve, the inspiration for this episode. Not to be confused, as Erin did momentarily, with Joanne Woodward's Oscar-Winning Three Faces of Eve. 
    This episode was on Fire! 
    Bernice was Bernicing the phones.







    The hair was epic.

    Allison and Carlene were at odds.




    And Julia invoked Bette

    It had everything.

Cute Pod

Really enjoy this podcast

Less cursing

While I enjoy the content of the podcast, the excessive cursing is a bit much (especially when discussing an 80’s sitcom about southern women). Also, takes a LONG time to get to any true content.

OMG Pass the Sweet Tea, DW is on!

I love you all! These girls are hilarious and I’m so glad that they exist! I have loved DW forever and I’ll be tuning in every week! 😍
