In this installment of our recap of Amy Odell's biography of Anna Wintour, we talk about her chess-like moves to become editor in chief of Vogue and all the poor pawns she steps on on the way to the top. We talk affairs, lawsuits, PETA, Harvey Weinstein, even 9/11. It's juicy, it's ripe, just pluck it off the tree and taste it baby!

Who da fuq is Anna Wintour? Well, for those that live under a rock, she basically runs Vogue magazine and one of the last powerful media heads to exist.

The death of an icon inspires Hope and Jackie to read André Leon Talley's memoir Chiffon Trenches. From dancing at Studio 54 with Diana Ross to eating breakfast in bed at his buddy Karl Lagerfeld's house to coming clean about Anna Wintour's one redeeming quality, Talley tells a story of paving the way for black men in fashion journalism.

Their self-proclaimed Best Sounding Episode Yet, this week Hope and Jackie are bringing you hard hitting journalism as they talk to a worker from a Crossroads Trading location that is in the process of unionizing (and getting busted.) Next, Hope talks about the connection between fashion and surrealism in the early 20th century, featuring scuffles between art bros, furry teacups, and of course, Elsa Schiaparelli.

You guessed it, we're hopping in on the convo about twee, but we're taking you back to the 1990s with the record label that started it all! Skip the first 20 minutes if you want to get right to it (but you'll miss Jackie's psychic love prediction and Hope's strange reason for wanting to get pregnant). Stay till the end to hear tunes from Jackie's twee days in Nashville!

Sorry about the weird sound in this one - tried to get it out quickly bc we went viralish on TikTok not to brag.
