The Smartest "Dumb Blonde" in Hollywood, Jayne Mansfield Jul 14, 2025

Show notes

Jayne Mansfield was one of the most iconic blonde bombshells of the 1950s and '60s, known for her curves, pink convertibles, and publicity stunts. But beneath the platinum hair and plunging necklines was a sharp mind, a savvy media manipulator, and a woman navigating the pressures of fame, motherhood, and misogyny in postwar America.

In this episode, we explore Jayne’s life not just as a Hollywood starlet, but as a feminist figure ahead of her time, a woman who used her sexuality as currency, challenged the limits of respectability, and refused to be boxed in. From her insanely genius music skills, to attending multiple colleges, to fighting for custody, from tabloid queens to tragic endings, we ask: what do we miss when we write women like Jayne off as just “dumb blondes”?

Joan of Arc Was Burned for Wearing Pants (Literally) Jul 07, 2025

Show notes

This week, we’re diving into the story of the ultimate history girly: Joan of Arc. Born to a peasant farmer, Joan started receiving visits from saints (yes, really) at just 13 years old. These visions that told her to lead France to victory in the Hundred Years’ War. By 17, she was doing exactly that. But things took a turn when she was captured, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake...basically for being a woman in charge and wearing pants. Classic. We honor Joan, her bravery, and the legacy that led to her sainthood.

Feminist Astrology Jun 16, 2025

In this episode we have the ICONIC feminist astrologist Babs Cheung on to dissect what it means to dismantle the patriarchy through astrology. She then reads both of our charts for some MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY READING as she likes to call it (get ready for some tears) and ends the episode with comparing our charts to see our compatibility in business and friendship.

Steve Madden: From Jail to Retail Jun 09, 2025

Show notes

This week, we’re diving into the world of the shoe mogul himself: Steve Madden. From hustling shoes out of the trunk of his car to building a billion-dollar brand, Steve’s journey is anything but ordinary. We unpack how his rapid rise got tangled in the chaos of The Wolf of Wall Street, landing him behind bars, and how he managed to bounce back stronger than ever. His story is a wild ride of risk, resilience, and really good shoes.

Who else grew up wearing Steve Madden? And we still love Steve Madden shoes—Claire’s iconic green heels from the White Party? Steve Madden, of course!
